My family has been a Fingerprints family for five years now and we couldn't be happier! My preschooler loves to go to school to play with her friends and she is very engaged with the curriculum. My infant son has also formed close bonds with his teachers and smiles when he sees them. I love how his teachers change the room around to keep the children active and they encourage tummy time. When my daughter started in toddlers, I immediately noticed a huge leap in independence. I am the Director of Fingerprints now and I am so happy that I found this childcare center for my family. Many of the Fingerprints teachers have been at the center over 10 years, several over 20 years! This is a special place that feels like a community. I am happy to have a safe place to bring my children since COVID started- there is even a new playground that is only for Fingerprints children! 12/2023: Hello! I am still the Director at Fingerprints... and now here with my third child. I look forward to connecting with you to tell you more about my family's experience.

We absolutely love Fingerprints! Our son joined Fingerprints at 8 months old and we intend to keep him in the program through preschool. He enjoys going to Fingerprints every day where he can interact with devoted teachers who care about his development. We have been very impressed with the curriculum, especially compared to other schools in the area. We feel like we are getting our money's worth and our son is able to be intellectually stimulated and challenged while also having fun. I trust the safety of the school - the playground isn't visible from the street - and the teachers send regular updates throughout the day regarding the children's activities and areas where they are succeeding. Our son talks about how much fun he had with Ms. Kim, Ms. Helen, and Ms. Monica once we return home for the day and frequently says that he is going to preschool soon. We know we made the right choice sending our son to Fingerprints when we hear the enthusiasm in his voice.

We have been a Fingerprints family for three years. Our first is about to age out of the program and we are enrolling our second child early next year. The Center has been a place where our child has thrived. The teachers are incredible, it is a great mix of teachers with literally decades of experience at the center, as well as fabulous new teachers who are so dedicated to the kids. I know several parents who have kids that are grown (in their 20’s) and their children had some of the same (WONDERFUL) teachers our child has now. It is a very special place and community with an established core team. The space is light-filled and happy, the kids have their own large personal playground in the Interior building courtyard, as well as a great “movement matters” large place space down the hall from where the classrooms are located. They have a good mix of classroom time, outside time, “water play days” where we send our kids in suits and they make the playground a little water park. The kids mix with other classes a decent amount, which has been very fun because it exposed our kid to playtime with all different ages (and there is nothing cooler to a toddler than playing with a preschooler). But really, the thing that makes this place special are the staff and teachers. We feel so lucky we are able to send our kiddos here where they are so loved and cherished by the entire team.

My family and I absolutely love fingerprints! We always get a warm welcome upon arrival or drop off when taking my grandson. The teachers are very knowledgeable and hands on with the children. My grandson loves going to school each day to see his friends. Ms.Michelle, Ms.Destiny and Ms.Monica are great in the toddler program! I can see the educational growth in my Grandson from being involved in such a great program.

Our kiddo has been in one of the infant classrooms for a few months now and we absolutely love it. The teachers are unbelievably friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. They provide frequent updates throughout the day, and very welcome suggestions of what we can do at home to help support mental and physical development. They engage the kids with all kinds of creative activities, both indoor and outdoor. Highly recommend!!
