We needed to find a daycare for our 9 month old at the last minute because of extenuating…read morecircumstances with our nanny. Melanie was one of a small handful of daycares with space and looking back I think the timing of everything was just serendipitous. I can't imagine a more wonderful caretaker and teacher for my daughter. She's not only kind, loving, and incredibly grounded, she's also attentive to the individual needs of every child she cares for and creates a consistent environment. My daughter had trouble napping and had some stranger anxiety. Melanie worked with us to acclimate her and had her on a nap schedule within the first 2 weeks. To top it off, she teaches so well that my now 20 month old is singing her abc's and knows her shapes. She comes home with holiday projects. It's a home environment that feels like leaving my daughter with family and I couldn't recommend a better place!

Both children started around 6 months old and have grown so much here both socially and academically. The teachers are caring, patient, and attentive and I trust that my children are safe there every day.

The staff go above and beyond to create a warm, supportive environment that truly feels like an extension of home. We're grateful for the safe and happy environment for our children and highly recommend to any parent looking for a loving and enriching daycare! It truly feels like a second home to us.

We have had a wonderful experience at every stage and have always felt complete trust in their caregivers. The teachers are incredibly warm, nurturing, and attentive, and the directors do a great job ensuring a safe environment from maintaining strong hygiene practices to carefully managing who enters and exits the building. Most importantly, both of my kids were always happy to go in each day and even happier when I picked them up (sometimes they didn't want to leave!). It's clear they felt safe, supported, and excited to learn. I can't say enough good things about Loving and Learning. Knowing my children were safe, happy, and in such a positive learning environment meant so much to our family. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy place for their little ones. In terms of pricing, they are aligned with other facilities. I looked at several other places before deciding where to send my children, and cost was not a deciding factor.

And she's also learning so much! Her vocabulary has increased exponentially since starting daycare and she comes home singing new songs everyday. We've been so happy with the care she's been receiving and would recommend this daycare to anyone!

He has been attending since he was 3 years old, and now he's 4. Even though he'll be starting kindergarten in September, we'll definitely still stop by to visit since we're only about 3 minutes away. Every morning he's excited to get ready because he genuinely looks forward to going to daycare. This isn't just a place where children are watched--it's a place where they learn and grow. The teachers provide educational lessons and send home activities for the children to complete and bring back the next day so they can review what they've learned. The kids have so much fun with engaging lessons, creative activities, and exciting field trips. The staff also do an amazing job communicating with parents by providing daily reports, photos, and updates, which gives me peace of mind knowing how my son is doing each day. I truly appreciate everything they have done for my son. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a safe, caring, and educational environment for their child!

Your child will be able to read, write, recognize site words and count before they even hit kindergarten. Your child will learn potty training and develop independence, learn social skills and so much more.
