From the moment my oldest son was just 6 weeks old, he began his journey with The Sitter, a nurturing place that embraced him until he aged out. Now, my youngest is following in his footsteps, having been cared for by The Sitter since he was also a tender 6 weeks. This wonderful facility has not only provided my sons with the attentive care they needed while I’m at work but has also become an integral part of our family story. They’ve witnessed my children’s growth and development, thriving in a warm and encouraging environment. Now in second grade, my youngest still benefits from The Sitter’s services for school drop-offs and pick-ups. I can’t express enough how positive my experience has been; the staff is truly exceptional, always radiating kindness and support.
Our 2 year old has been attending The Sitter for almost a year now, and we couldn't be happier. We left an all-white daycare/preschool that keeps kids separated in different rooms all day to join this multicultural school which feels more like a family. The teachers love my daughter, and my daughter's language and confidence have grown tremendously. She has been blossoming, and we are very grateful.
I have had a great experience with my child here at the sitter. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I am a 1st time father, and I often ask the staff questions regarding newborns at the time to toddlers. They have helped my child with a lot in developing. I am always amazed by the things that are learned. My wife and I always ask each other if that is new? New skill acquired, we say. The sitter has been heaven sent for us with all the great help activities and information they provide. So thank you to the crew and staff from the bottom of our hearts
The Sitter Inc. Is family to myself and my children. My son which is now 13 has attended The Sitter since 6 years old and now that he's aged out he still comes to speak to the staff and owner Mrs. Phyllis!!! The staff is absolutely amazing and loving, and very attentive to the children and parents. If I could give more stars I would Thank You The Sitter Inc.!!!!🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️
A very God-fearing owner who hires only the best staff being highly dedicated to the emotional, health, and educational well-being of all children. Extensive background checks and character references are required before positions are filled. Five of my grandchildren have attended the establishment, and they were blessed by "Miss Phyllis'" gifted touch. Twenty years of service without negative reports is a testament of blessings and the work it takes for commendable early childrenhood education. The Sitter Inc is highly recommended.
