Coming to Capitol Park Early Learning Center has been the best thing for my baby girl. As a first time mom, you generally have no idea what you are doing, especially when it comes to selecting a daycare. We started at a daycare and didn't like it and then we got our opening at Capitol Park and we will never go any place again! Staff are friendly and accommodating (my baby has dairy allergies). The staff doesn't work there because it's their job, you can tell they work there because they love the children and it shows. I see the love, attention and guidance my daughter receives and it shows in her every day when she says a new word or learns a new way to do something. My daughter is smiling and playing when I drop her off in the morning and the same when I pick her up after work. Thank you so much to all of the staff for our wonderful experience.
We recently started at Capitol Park Learning Center after being at another daycare that was not working for us. They have been great at helping my toddler through this transition phase. They are patient in the morning when we drop him off and by the evening when we pick him up he is smiling, giving staff and other kids hugs good bye and even make sure everyone get waved good bye to! I was surprised that after only a short time most of the staff (even the ones not usually in his room) know his name and he responds positively to them as well. I am very pleased with our decision to move to Capitol Park and I am excited to watch him grow.
We always feel that the staff at Capitol Park (not just our kids' teachers, but everyone) really care about our children which makes it so much easier to leave them every morning. My baby and toddler are always excited when they see their teachers in the morning. The director has created a positive environment for kids to learn and thrive. Everyone has been very accommodating about any concerns or special circumstances that have come up. They say it takes a village and we are happy to have Capitol Park as part of ours.
I have two children that are currently enrolled with capital park. I had never had any of my children in daycare because I have always been very unsure about other people caring for my children. I was especially nervous about my newborn, but the people of capital park are fantastic. They are patient, caring, and totally all about their job!!! They keep the facility clean, organized, and totally kid friendly. I love capital park and all of the wonderful employees!!!!
My husband and i both love the teachers and staff at capital park early learning center. They are wonderful to my kids and always keep us updated on the things they may have learned or working on. My two year old daughter is coming home singing songs and sings her ABC i am surprised how much my daughter knows already. They even helped potty train her. They are people you can truly trust with your kids.
