I am pleased to offer my strong recommendation for First School. In my role as a speech-language pathologist providing services within their program, I have had the opportunity to see firsthand the level of care, dedication, and professionalism that the director (Sarah) and staff bring to the children and families they serve.
What stands out most about this daycare is how deeply invested the team is in each child’s growth and well-being. The staff consistently create a nurturing, engaging environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to learn. They take the time to truly know each child as an individual, responding thoughtfully to developmental, social, and emotional needs.
From a professional standpoint, their openness and cooperation are exceptional. Sarah and her staff communicate clearly, welcome collaboration, and actively support therapy goals so children can make meaningful progress. They are proactive, flexible, and consistently follow through on strategies and recommendations, which greatly benefits the children receiving services.
In fact, this is the only daycare in the area where I currently provide therapy services, specifically because of the positive, team-based approach and the strong partnership I have with them. Their willingness to work collaboratively and their genuine commitment to doing what is best for children set them apart.
Additionally, as a SLP that specializes in feeding therapy, their healthy menu and approach of exposure to a variety of foods is a welcome change to daycare environments.
I confidently recommend First School to families seeking a caring, professional, clean, healthy, and child-centered early learning environment.
Sincerely,
