In January I switched my girls to Hansel and Gretel at their Walnut Street location from a private home babysitter. They girls ABSOLUTELY love it here! The Owners and staff are amazing and always so kind and sweet. They all know your name without ever having to ask, and I’ve never been greeted Or said goodbye to with out a smile and something nice to say. The conversations you have about your kids with them and the way they talk about them let’s you know just how much they love and care for them as if they were at home with you. They are great at letting you know anything that goes on with your children and extremely responsive when you have Questions or concerns. I’m so thankful for finding them and the girls couldn’t be happier ❤️🤩

My 10-year old granddaughter loves this daycare! Amazing staff...from the front counter to the childcare...all friendly, caring, loving people. Very different from other daycares, as you are acknowledged even before you get through the front door. Call them anytime...they will make time for you at the drop of a hat. Don't know the answer, they will get it for you! And the summer camp is A+...lots of swimming, field trips, fun activites...and don't forget movie nights in the summer too! My granddaughter has friends she made there, and also is able to get on the computer for more learning fun as well. 100% love Hansel and Gretel Early Learning Center.

I went to school at the walnut st location from preschool to 4th grade (way back in the late 70’s- early 80’s). I loved it and still remember J. R. & Laura Grill. Summer camp there was the best, swimming in the afternoon, then story time with J. R. till our parents came to get us. I highly recommend this school!!
