Both of my daughters have gone here for a few years now, and it's been such a wonderful experience…read more The director is amazing -- so hands-on and clearly dedicated. You just know she puts in a ton of work behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly. The teachers are the best. They truly love what they do, and it feels like more than a job to them. My girls adore their teachers, and they're kind of like their little second family. They talk about their teachers outside of school a bunch so it really has a positive impact. The classrooms are always clean, which stood out to me when I toured several schools at the beginning. There's always a great mix of activities, and the kids spend plenty of time outside getting fresh air. Between my two daughters, we've had a child in every age group at some point, from infant to pre-K, and the care has been consistently great. When one of my girls had a phase of some behavioral challenges, the staff worked with us as a team to figure it out instead of pushing us away. Within a few days, things got better and she moved on from that phase. That's the kind of personal touch you get with a smaller school. They send pictures and updates, and it's just such a comforting feeling to know your kids are safe, happy, and having fun every day. We love Amore!

We have nothing but great things to say about Amore Preschool. Our child has been with them for 8…read moremonths so far and he is so happy at drop-off and pick-up. In the first month, it took him some adjusting and he was refusing the bottle while at daycare. As a first time parent, I was so worried about it but the director and staff at Amore were diligent in finding a solution and making our child comfortable. Definitely helped lift a load off my shoulders. It seems like all the staff knows my little baby and he smiles when he sees them. We have been incredibly impressed with their nurturing, caring and professional approach to child care. We are so grateful for their team. I love being able to see photos and communicate with the staff via their app as well. It's so nice to read about what they have been up to that day and see a picture or two to break up my work day. The monthly Parent's Night Out was great for us as well because we didn't have a babysitter that we trusted in the early months. We had a few hours to ourselves while our child spent time in an environment we knew he was cared for and safe. Analiese and her team really work hard to meet the needs of your child and they really put a lot of work into their daily activities for the children's social, physical and intellectual growth. My husband and I have so much appreciation for Amore.

We had such an amazing experience there with our son, who was part of their pre-k classroom!…read moreIncredible teachers, so much play time, and the co-op aspect of the whole thing was incredible!

This will be our 3rd year as a family at the Co-op and I can't recommend it more for not only your…read morekiddo, but also the community that comes with it. It is so nice to get together with like-minded parents that just want a place where their kids can play and explore. You yourself get a chance to be in the classroom and help out, play and see all of your kids' friends interact. Soon you will be getting your feet in the sand yard, going to parent meetings where the teachers will give you tips on how to calm your child during a meltdown, and you will talk to other parents and see that you're not alone. Some examples of community that I can think of during our time are the parent meetings, potluck events, a camping trip, and events at school where everyone is welcome for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. When we had our second child, and EECP knew we were finally home, we got a few gifts delivered for our new baby, but also a couple of big brother gifts and books from the school. When I'm at work and I get some photos sent to our parent group message board of what the kids are doing that day, it makes you wish you were at school that day instead of sitting behind a desk. Those are the times I know that we got lucky to find the EECP and other involved parents and teachers. One other thing I remembered that I enjoy is the stuff that our kiddo brings home. It is not just paintings that will soon be on your fridge or decorated shoe boxes, but also stories and music. Our 3-year-old would come home from school and teach me about Mardi Gras. He insisted on Mardi Gras songs being played in our home. He enjoyed dancing and marching and was explaining how parades worked, as if I had no idea what one was. It was so much fun to finally go to school and see all the kids parade around in fun costumes and carry around little decorated shoe boxes they made in class. This is just one of the events that we've loved as a family and now as a community.

You know, you hear two things from parents about putting your kid in daycare: #1) they're going to…read morelearn and blossom and all these great things, but only if your daycare manages to avoid: #2) the dreaded daycare horror stories. Some are truly terrible, some are just annoying or petty, but you hear about these issues so often, how can you ever actually be ready to entrust your most precious little thing in the world to a bunch of strangers? Well I don't know how anyone else does it, but if you trust your child to this group of amazing ladies just know your kid is going to be in incredible, amazing, caring hands. That's not fluff, I have the video evidence of it. I have the pictures. Most importantly I have a happy and blossoming child who has grown in motor skills and language and intelligence so, SO much in such a short amount of time with them. I've seen first hand the care and love given to these children. The class sizes are small so everyone gets personal attention. Every single adult in the building knows my child's name, every one of them smiles and shines at him just like they do for every child there. When he started to walk on his own he was a little tentative and hesitant, and you should have seen how incredible they were at encouraging him, cheering for him, having all the bigger kids help cheer for him...the thought of it brings a tear to my eye because everything is just so positive there. It's a small little place with a ton of heart. I can't even begin to say enough - Ms. Isha, Ms. Magaly, Ms. Cindy and Ms. Tina along with everyone else in the building deserve flowers every day for the work they do with these kids. Of all the things parents have to worry about daily, just know this: if you choose to bring your child here for daycare, you will almost immediately feel the weight of one less worry on your shoulders. They'll keep them safe, they'll keep them fed, they'll keep them learning and most importantly they'll keep them loved. I can't imagine a better place for my kid.

As a first time mom finding somewhere safe for my infant was really daunting. When future thinkers…read moreopened I checked out their website and loved everything I read. When I met the staff I knew this was the place for us. My son is thriving, the environment is safe, inviting, secure, and I get updates often that keep me in the loop. I'm so grateful!
