We love this daycare! Teachers and managers are great, all the teachers know the kids and parents. They are always having fun events, both at school and out of school. They are very creative and work very hard! We feel welcome there since day 1.

We had the best experience with Rivers Bend children center. All the teachers here are caring and understanding. Ms. Amanda is always available for my concerns and questions. My daughter loved going to school and I was amazed that she didn’t come home sick in the 8 months she attended. It was a great experience.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rivers Bend Children's Center. My son has been attending since he was 2 and I wouldn’t think of taking him anywhere else. Amanda & Clarke are wonderful and all of the Teachers are amazing. You can see the love they have for all of the children. My little one is really shy and has a hard time adjusting to change but he quickly adjusted and I have no doubt it has everything to do with the way Amanda and Clarke run their schools. I appreciate the open communication, feedback and professionalism everyone shows. They truly make you feel like family. I cannot recommend a better place to send your child.

I had the pleasure of sending my son to this exceptional children's center for 2 years of Pre School. Both my son and I absolutely loved the experience. As he transitions to kindergarten this year, I am filled with pride and confidence knowing that he is well-prepared, thanks to the outstanding education he received here. This is no ordinary daycare; it is a true learning center that prioritizes each child's development and growth. While learning the basics like numbers and letters is important, this center goes above and beyond to nurture and challenge young minds. I have witnessed remarkable growth in my 4-year-old son – he can solve math word problems in his head, a skill that truly amazed me! One aspect that sets this center apart is their focus on emotional intelligence. My son has learned how to understand and express his feelings effectively, which has not only helped him but has also made me a better parent. His communication skills are exceptional, and he articulates his thoughts and feelings with confidence. Reflecting on the incredible progress my son has made, I can't help but wish that my older child had the opportunity to attend this center. I am immensely grateful to the dedicated staff for their time and effort in giving my son a head start in this ever-evolving world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. May God bless all those involved in shaping young minds and hearts at this outstanding children's center.

My children have attended River’s Bend Children’s Center for just about 5 years and will continue to do so for latchkey care. Both my boys began in the infant room and have moved through to the preschool building. I cannot say enough good things about them. My children are safe, educated, and loved by the entire team. My oldest has multiple food allergies and they have taken the time to learn about them and provide alternative meals for him. Communication from Amanda and Clark Andrs is open and honest. Behavioral conversations are timely and encouraging, with a focus on how parents and staff members can work together to correct an unwanted behavior. With two young boys, we have had our share of those calls! As proactive parents, we’ve taken the route of working together with staff members, developing a relationship that will last for many years to come. We’ve stayed in touch with many of the young women who’ve since left for college or to further their careers. They love my children and I have truly enjoyed watching them grow into adulthood, some becoming parents themselves. RBCC has been an active participant in my children’s development since their time in the infant room. Every teacher is dedicated to their own learning to provide the highest quality curriculum to the children. They truly care about every child they have the privilege to have in their classrooms. My oldest is starting kindergarten this year and the teachers who did his screening were beaming afterwards. They were thoroughly impressed by his knowledge and social interaction. Your child will thrive here, academically and socially!
