Carol'S House

Carol's House was our son's home away from home. Not only did he have his physical needs met, he was also nurtured and genuinely cared for and comforted by the staff at Carol's House. We also love that children at Carol's House have ample time to play outside, get dirty in the mud and sand, participate in circle-time, reading, arts and crafts, and build genuine friendships that last beyond age five. Wonderful little peach-colored house where little people learn to orient themselves, outside of their parents, in a safe and loving environment.

We have four kiddos, and our youngest was lucky enough to grow at Carol’s House from 2 to 5 years old. With 3 older siblings’ experiences behind of us, we were especially appreciative of Carol’s House and Noah and Kate’s loving care. Carol’s House is a home away from home, a second family. Peace of mind. Plenty of outside time. Good books and classic toys. Traditions like perks for wearing underwear, getting to go up in the loft at age 4, puppy play day, and so many good songs to sing together. Our daughter learned a variety of tasks and gained so much independence because CH knows what kids are capable of at such an early age. CH kids are encouraged and loved everyday! It was a gift to our family. Our daughter says, “Carol’s House is really silly and fun. I loved playing outside.”

It is hard to put into words how much Carols House means to our family. If you are looking for an open minded, safe, loving, friendly, educational, accepting, and overall fun place for your child, look no further. Our son started at Carol's House around age 2, and has attended for the past 2.5 years. It is his favorite place to be. Many nights all he wants to play is "Carol's House", where he is the teacher, and we are the students. :) Even with 15 children to manage daily, Kate and Noah always remain cool, calm, collected, and have an amazing ability to help each child become the best version of themselves. Our son is so very confident in his own skin because of the environment of accepting, exploration, caring, and love that they have created. We will forever be grateful for our time at Carol's House! >

Carol’s House is a hidden gem that we were so lucky to have been a part of. Our son attended pre-school there from age 2 until he went to kindergarten. It is a testament to Noah and Kate that I was tempted to keep him with them for an extra year. They are kind, compassionate, and calm in a sea of play-based learning, outdoor adventures, and developmentally appropriate learning. I toured pretty much every pre-school in town and though there are fancier or better known places, Carol’s House immediately felt like home. We love that my son can attend in the summer as an alumni and appreciate the community of families that are fostered—many of whom are still dear friends. They have a waiting list that was a lot less intense than many other sites that seemed to want massive deposits every year/month. We were lucky to have called when my son was a few months old and got in at their earliest age of two. Sometimes they have spots open if families move or age out—so it’s always worth checking!

My son attended Carol's House for two years, from age 2-4, and he could not have had a better daycare experience than what Noah & Kate provide every single day. Carol's House is the perfect mix of an environment that feels like home, but fosters the intellectual and creative energy you want your pre-schooler to be exposed to. The mixed age class allowed my son to evolve from a shy, younger kid to being a leader that the other kids looked up to. Kate & Noah are patient, kind, and preternaturally calm in the face of all the energy the kids bring with them every day. Above all, Carol's House is a fun, safe place to start your young ones on their educational experience.
