I am pleased to be able to give you my recommendation for Amber Towles and Blossoming Friends…read more When I first visited with Amber, I was impressed with her organization, her pre-school experience and the thorough way in which she was setting up her school. Now after several months and the addition of a few more students, I continue to be impressed with Amber and Blossoming Friends. The children are well cared for, taught skills commensurate with their age and slightly beyond. She is conscientious of both their physical and learning needs. She shares with parents continually throughout the day, adheres to healthy standards for the children, and follows guidelines precisely. I am very happy our granddaughter was "accepted" as a student- I can see positive changes in her in the few months she has been enrolled and feel she is truly in a learning, caring environment, not just a "day care". I do not hesitate to recommend Blossoming Friends to any parent looking for a safe and caring learning environment for their child.

I am basing my review on the 5 months my son spent in the preschool (ages 2.5-4) classroom. My 3 stars are based on some things we liked a lot and some things that were disappointing, so I'll organize my review into those categories. ** Things we liked a lot: ** - The facility is excellent. The building is secure, light, bright, and very clean. The play yards are large with a fair amount of shade. They have a lot of tricycles and outdoor toys. The slide equipment is in excellent condition. The physical space is premium. - They use an app to share things like: what your child ate, when he went potty (or had an accident, if you're potty training), and snapshots of the children learning and playing. This is one of my favorite things about Cottage Kids. (On the "disappointments" list is their spotty use of this excellent tool.) - The main teachers are highly educated in early childhood education - like they have college degrees in this area of study. This is a *career* they have chosen. They are educators and not babysitters. They are very professional. (I'm not sure the same is true for the support staff. More on this in the "disappointments" list.) They can talk to you about developmental milestones. For my kid, who is super tall for his age, they could explain about his coordination and how he is learning to use his body. I valued this perspective. - They are NAEYC accredited. That's the National Associate for the Education of Young Children. This means their curriculum is very structured. I liked the quality of the planned activities. - They provide hot meals and quality snacks. No one is eating saltine crackers and a thimble full of water for snacks here. Their menu includes Olive Garden style breadsticks with marinara or pita bread with hummus, etc. In fact, he ate so well at Cottage Kids that some nights he wasn't too interested in dinner at home. ** Disappointments: ** - This place is expensive! Sure, we knew that going in, and we agreed to pay it because our expectation was that with this premium tuition, we would be getting premium care. For us, the value never measured up. How expensive, you wonder? For 3 days/week of preschool, the rate was just shy of $1000/month. (That rate reduces for federal employees and perhaps other contracted businesses, but if you pay the "community rate," you will pay dearly.) - Perhaps my expectation was unreasonably high about the app, but I thought I would see updates in real time. Sometimes you don't see updates until the end of the day. Sometimes you don't see updates at all. Sometimes you only know they ate pears for a snack or peed at 10am. Sometimes you get 6 really great pictures of the kids during the day with explanations about what they are learning. The point is - I thought I was going to get all that every day, and for the price we paid, it was disappointing when that turned out not to the be standard practice. - The classrooms are big and full, and for my kid, it was a challenging environment. He would often come home and report that children (he would name names) were "hitting" him or "hurting" him. We addressed this with his teachers and the on-site director on multiple occasions, and to be fair, they always listened and sounded concerned. For a while, they were able to separate the boys, but on the early and late ends of the days, the classes mix. That means the preschool and pre-K kids may play together, and again, with large class sizes, the teachers literally can't have eyes on every kid at every moment. This left my kid, who was having some issues, vulnerable. This was among the top reasons we decided to look for other options. - Right now, they are short staff in the preschool room, and the revolving support staff was a point of frustration. Having new staff means your kid who is no longer wearing diapers or pull-ups might be diapered at nap time. (If you are potty training now, you understand why that is HUGELY frustrating. If not, just trust me.) It means the temps don't know about the "hitting" issues and may not know to keep kids who need to be separated away from each other. Continuity of care is really important to me, so this was a major point of frustration. Overall, this is a good facility, but it was not a great fit for us. For the price, I needed the fit to be excellent. I know other parents who are very happy there, and I think if your kid isn't coming home telling you he's being hit in the gut by the same 2-3 kids, your overall impression would be much more positive. I just wanted to provide a comprehensive review because other reviewers have made comments about the tour and the price, but Cottage Kids is light on substantive reviews. I hope this helps prospective parents.

As two working parents, it was so important for us to find a place that is safe, reliable, and truly nurturing. At A2O, we have complete trust in the teachers and administration. They are caring, communicative, and genuinely invested in each child. But what makes this place so special is how much FUN the kids have while they learn. They're painting, singing, dancing, playing outside, splashing around on water days, and yes--even playing in the rain. It's joyful, hands-on, and exactly what early childhood should be. Our kids come home happy, engaged, and excited to go back. The community is also incredible--warm, supportive, and full of families who really care. That sense of connection makes a huge difference. We recommend Acorn to Oak wholeheartedly and have referred many friends and family members--everyone has had the same amazing experience. We truly can't imagine sending our kids anywhere else.

We loved every teacher and the admin staff is very communicative. The teachers lead/teach with kindness and understanding and our daughter truly loved coming to school.

I always felt like our daughter was well taken care of and safe, which is the most important thing you want in a daycare. She also came out of this skill with emotional learning, reading, and math skills that I think will help her going into TK. It is probably one of the more expensive daycares we saw in the area but absolutely worth it for the quality in teachers and space.
