We sent out daughter to Positive Alternative from the time she could start (age 1) until she went to kindergarten. We had such a great experience with all of the teachers as well as the entire Positive community. Absolutely cannot recommend them enough and we will be sending our youngest there as soon as she turns 1 as well.
We have loved Positive Alternative school from the moment we started, which was 1 year ago! Everyone is so welcoming and incredibly kind! The teachers and staff are knowledgeable, patient and genuinely care about all of the children. We feel so fortunate to have found such an amazing place so close to our home!
My kids have been going to PA for 7 months now and LOVE it. I have a 1yo and a 3 yo, they are in separate rooms (age appropriate) but still get to see each other throughout the day. The teachers are all wonderful and give my kids the best care. I feel confident and comfortable dropping my kids off in the morning - one stop drop (which I love!) and they are excited and happy to see their friends and teachers. I highly recommend PA!
INCREDIBLE child care. We chose Positive Alternative for our 2 year old daughter due to constant turnover at her previous school. We have been impressed from day 1. Almost all of the staff has been there for 10 or more years, which is almost unheard of in the Child Care world. We started bringing our 4 year old son as well, and he came home the first day and proclaimed "My first day was AWESOME!!!". He has said that several times since. They have great educational field trips in the summer that both kids love. All of the teachers are amazingly talented and dedicated and we feel blessed to have our children cared for so well.
Positive Alternatives has been incredible for our family. We've had both our boys there for several years, and they have been treated with nothing but kindness and love. Marcia cares so deeply for the children, and it is felt throughout each classroom. We are so grateful to know that our children are safe, happy, and growing in so many ways while we aren't with them. We HIGHLY recommend PA.
