My son went to this daycare he’s now 22 and in the Navy… This was open when I was a really small. My mom tried to put me here I’m now 46. My son was learning Spanish and French at 2. I hate it’s gone. My friend daughter went here she has her bachelors degree. This place produced well rounded adults. I hate this place is gone, it was a pillar in the community.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING STAFF AND ENVIRONMENT!!!!! I enrolled my twins back in March when they were only 9 months old. I had a TERRIBLE experience with their last daycare (my son was chewing on plastic when I got there to pick him up) so I was nervous at first. Their staff is extremely professional. They offer amazing activities, even for the small children. The environment and classrooms are VERY clean and well kept (NO SHOES ALLOWED IN THE BABY ROOM). My children are always clean and dry when I pick them up. They also call me if there is an ever an incident so that I'm aware before I even get there. I LOVE THEM and I plan on keeping them there until they're school aged (they'll probably do the after school program then though lol)
This place is a breath of fresh air compared to a lot of the local daycares or preschools. I wanted my daughter somewhere productive, clean, and nurturing. And it has been delivered plus more. I love the progressive style of the classrooms which range 2-5 years old for toddlers and it is important to me because my 3 year is very smart and has potential to exceed if given the opportunity. Previously, she just traced letters and played all day and was not challenged. It makes me feel better as a full time working parent that I can trust that she is in good hands and someone is evaluating her and giving her comprehensive work. The classroom has structure but the kids still have fun and learn at the same time. The entire place is clean and fresh everyday I come in, no matter what time. I'm thoroughly impressed and relieved I came to this preschool! She loves coming to school now!
Mrs. Washington was the best teacher I ever had. Mrs. Nolan was the best daycare director. I still thinking about them even since I graduated from the Children Development for 38 years.
I really wish this school was still open and owned and operated by the same people me and a friend was just reminiscing about our time as parents there
