We couldn't be happier with The Madden School. The staff truly feels like an extension of our family, and the love and care they provide is outstanding. We've seen so much positive growth and development in our daughter since she started. It's an incredible feeling to drop her off knowing she's in a safe, nurturing, and loving environment. We highly recommend them to any family looking for top-notch care!

The Madden School is a safe and stimulating environment where children can learn and grow to their fullest potential. The teachers and admin truly care for each child and work to meet their individual needs. As someone who has worked in the Early Childhood field, finding a high quality program that not only met the stateβs standards and my own as well, was no easy task. The Madden School checked all of my boxes! They offer a rich curriculum and extra curricular activities that are age appropriate and fun for the students! My daughter loves going to school each day and often talks about how much she loves her Teacher Tonia and Ms. Yvette! We are so lucky to have such a great program in our community! π
