Children show enthusiasm for attending and demonstrate significant growth in social skills and academics.

This establishment is top notch. My daughter did not have the social skills and behavior for dealing with children her own age as mine and my wife’s job were and still are demanding. Heartworks has done a fantastic job of making our daughter feel at home, and their patience and expertise is something that every parent and child should have the privilege of experiencing. Shout out to Ms. Nikki for being my daughters favorite person in the whole world. We can’t say enough good things about this place!
We love STEAMworks. It has been such a wonderful experience for our 4 year old son. Everyone is so friendly and they do many enriching activities that is helping to prepare him for elementary school. Miss Lauren has been the best and our son looks forward to seeing her everyday. The director Amy is amazing and treats every family with kindness and love.
This is the first time that we have sent our children to daycare, and I am so glad that we chose Heartworks in Essex! Everyone here is pretty nice and keeps updates each day to let us know about the child. We love Amy, Crystal, and Demi, thank you all for your patience in taking care of the children and providing a nice environment for children!
We have been a part of Heartworks in Essex for couple of years now and could not recommend it more. All of my son’s teachers have been dedicated, loving, committed. Lauren is always so positive and never stops thinking of new ways to engage the kids. They have monthly themes like meteorology or astrology and the kids learn so much every single day. Amy, the director is just amazing, always engaged and simply dedicated to her job.
Crystal at Steamworks has been truly amazing to have lead our sons' class. She has gone above and beyond to not only gain his trust and friendship this last year, but has gone above and beyond to advocate for him and work with him on a personal level. She has helped him grow and develop in ways we didn't think possible at the time. It is such a joy finding a care provider who cares as much as you do with each milestone gained or progress made. We consider ourselves exceptionally fortunate to have her in our class!
