Their staff photographer sent me photos of my class before I even got home, confirming that they had the proper model releases to be able to do so and hadn't taken photos of anyone who didn't want them taken. It was such a wonderful surprise to get such excellent photos. They also sent me home with two tote bags designed and printed in house, one of which all the students in the workshop signed in henna :) What a great experience. Thanks for having me, Riverzedge!

I have 2 kids, one started in the infants room and has moved up to toddler. My oldest started in preschool and now is in the after school program. All of my experiences have met or exceeded expectations. They have a solid leadership group that is committed to providing more than just a babysitting service. There is an educational curriculum at all age groups, and extracurricular activities including music class, sport camps, computer time, culinary skills, a large indoor gross motor room, a splash park outside, and use of the Wide World of Indoor Sports during the long cold winters. They have a nurse on staff who visits both campuses, and the staff is very communicative about any of those unavoidable outbreaks of common kid illnesses. In addition, when my oldest was experiencing some behavioral challenges, the teachers and administration all worked with me to develop a plan that best suited my child's needs. Can't say enough about this place. Pop in for a tour. Tell them Jenn D sent you.
