- OGOlya GrechynaOct 14, 20255.0Great school with great structure in my opinion crucial for boys development. Great facilities. Only area to improve is snacks for the tuition we pay should not be anywhere near.
- AGAmanda G.Oct 12, 20255.0Can’t say enough good things about this wonderful school! The teachers truly meet the kids where they are developmentally and educationally on all levels and the building is spacious, clean, and well-equipped. The onsite owner and office staff are all top notch as well. Highly recommend!
- DWDavid WassersteinSep 23, 20255.0Remarkably quiet and orderly considering all of the children there.
- CCChris CumminsAug 14, 20245.0Our oldest started here as an infant only a few weeks after they opened and our youngest just moved on to pre-k at our local elementary school. Speaking from 6 years of experience covering every developmental level they offer. They definitely earned my 5 star review. As an overall team, I always felt that the teachers and staff were wonderful. Over the years there were many who stood out as exceptional. They have always managed to bring on great staff despite all the challenges similar businesses faced 2018-2024. They also did an amazing job providing consistent care for children of first responders in 2020-2021. The facilities were always abundant and well maintained. The front office was always responsive and helpful. The on-site owners have remained involved in day-to-day operations and have been consistently available to address concerns.
