Our daughter has been attending Carousel Academy since she was 7 months old (she just turned 3). Carousel is a wonderful center that truly cares about the well being of the children. Our daughter is excited to go to "school" every day to see her friends and teachers and to learn something new! I think this is a testament to the warm, nurturing and inviting atmosphere that has been created at Carousel. Every single day when we enter the building, we are greeted by the teachers with a warm smile/hello and a hug for our daughter - it has truly become a second family for us. I can tell that the staff genuinely care about the work they do and enriching the lives and enhancing the education of the children. We love the different events they put together (parents craft days, grandparents art days, parades, soccer practices, pajama days, multicultural celebrations, egg hunts, etc.) We weren't sure how long we were initially going to keep our daughter at Carousel because we had to make a quick decision after our maternity & paternity leave ran out (and the commute for us from work can be hard), but as you can see, here we are 2 1/2 years later! We have been beyond happy with the care that our daughter has received at Carousel Academy!

This is an amazing daycare and by far the best in the area. We absolutely love the school's facilities, curriculum and methods of communication. The teachers and staff are phenomenal! My child looks forward to going to school and spending with her happy & loving teacher and her friends. I am confident that my child is receiving the best care possible!

This is a wonderful preschool! My son hated letters and writing, but because of Carousel's methods (handwriting without tears) he is excited and confident about writing. My younger son lacked a bit of confidence. The teachers gave me concrete methods and quickly we saw a positive outcome that has really prepared my son (and us) going forward. The teachers and staff care about the children and each bring unique talents to the school. I love this place and so do my sons. I feel I am a better parent after being a part of the school and learning new methods. The student/teacher ratio is low too!

Could not be happier with this child care . Top notch staff, very caring management/directors and the owners are very involved and always happy to listen and take feedback. Their focus on education and overall well being of the children is beyond excellent. Facility is clean and well maintained with two large well equipped playgrounds. Strongly recommend this center for all your child care needs.
