My child thrived at CSP, because of the loving, attentive, supportive, well-trained and vetted teachers here. I cannot speak highly enough of the school. I received thoughtful feedback from the teachers and program director during my child's time there. My child was more prepared than others entering Kindergarten, both academically and socially, because of the special environment here. This is also a place that is incredibly accommodating and helpful for working parents - they have great hours and limited closures during the year. I knew my child was always safe and getting the best care!

The teachers are kind and caring and our child has thrived in this very supportive environment. We love that it has a smaller feel compared to some of the larger programs where your child gets lost in the mix. We wish there was more outdoor space but feel they've maximized play space with what they have and our child has never complained. We started our child here when she'd just turned 2 and they created such a safe supportive place for her - we look forward to enrolling our next child when they are of age!

Fast forward to over a year later and she has been at DT for about 7 months in the infant room and we are so happy with our decision. The staff are friendly and provide great care and attention to the children. Even in the infant room they make sure to provide age appropriate structure and themes for each day and week and provide a wide variety of activities for the kids to enjoy. They utilize the parent app a lot so we have a good idea of what our child is doing throughout the day and a lot of fun photos. Most importantly our daughter loves it. She is wiggling in excitement when we are walking up and always looking around to wave goodbye to her teachers when we leave.

I work for the state and my coworkers told me about this place. after the first tour with the incredible director, I actually cried. this place was a breath of fresh air. it was so much better than my kid's previous daycare. the director was so loving to myself and my son. they have taken impeccable care of my son since the day he started. he struggled immensely over potty training at school. the director took so much time to work with my son one on one. she completely respected and saw what he needed to feel comfortable and made that happen. this school has a great app where pictures and notifications are constantly posted. they are always in communication about food that was or was not eaten, potty time, nap time, everything. and they are always just a message away with a very very quick response time. the first few weeks and even month of drop offs were so hard to see my son cry but I was always relieved seeing pictures within 20 minutes of him playing and smiling. it was the most comforting thing to me. I couldn't be happier that we made the change to go to this school. they have truly been a godsend to me and my family, especially my son. I would recommend this care facility to anyone.

He started here at just 5 months old, and yesterday, at 4 1/2, we said goodbye as he gets ready to start his next chapter. For more than four years, this daycare gave our family something truly invaluable: the security of knowing that when we dropped our son off each day, he was safe, cared for, and genuinely loved. As a parent, there is no greater gift than having that kind of trust and peace of mind. Throughout the years, we watched him grow from a baby into the funny, curious, confident little boy he is today. He learned so much, made wonderful memories and friendships, had so much fun, and formed special bonds with the teachers who cared for him along the way. Leaving is incredibly bittersweet. This daycare has been such a meaningful part of our family's life and our son's childhood, and we will forever be grateful for the love, patience, care, and support they have given him -- and us -- over the past four years. Thank you for helping raise our little boy. We will miss you more than we can say.

It was the best thing ever. It was so aggressively adorable - there were bubbles there was one kid who said - gimme your money- you gotta pay for that! It was hilarious. Pretty sure I paid $5 bucks for half a cup of lemonade lol- If we had more cash we woulda gave it all to them. That was super fun. The staff here are great to the kids and let them do whatever within educational and safety reason and I'm here for it. It's actually the owner and the staff and I don't need to lists names- they're all really good to the kids and add so much love to the neighborhood- great job - I'd never take pics of kids that are not my own so no pics...

We highly recommend DOT Tot!

I would highly recommend DOT tot! My children currently attend here and have for the past 2+ years…read more Finding childcare initially was such a difficult task. I am a "planner" and had toured many places and got on waitlists early at the time. Initially I didn't think dot tot would be in my top choices because we do not live near or work downtown so location wise it was not ideal and even today is quite far but so worth it for both the overall cost and quality care! I remember with many tours liking some other facilities that felt big and new, because dot tot is an older building in general, but when I asked about the more important aspects, like teacher retention and years of service, some of the "newer" places had major red flags, like teachers that have all only been there a year, or the most seasoned person being there "3 years" while dot tot blew me away- they have 2 teachers that have been there since the 80's! The director is very proactive and has been there 20+ years and most other staff have been going on at least 3-5+ years now. This really speaks to the culture of the place and that they treat each other well and care about the work they do. I have also seen over time with my little ones and the various classrooms how helpful they are across all the rooms and with each other as an overall center. This gave me such great peace of mind compared to considering either a nanny at home that would have no accountability from someone else around, or larger centers that seemed like each class was their own "island" with little support from other teachers. Logistically, they also provide ALL the wipes, diapers, and milk [once they're past breastmilk/formula] meals and snacks. This makes packing up SO much easier each day, and that being included into the cost is amazing. It is still one of the most affordable places somehow, likely because it is a non-profit! It also has a board of directors run by current parents so participation is really key and helpful and has kept up a culture of people that truly care about the kids, the environment they're learning in, and the teachers well-being too. I may come to later regret this review if I eventually have another baby and then there's a longer waitlist now for this awesome center, but your little ones would be in very caring hands here! It is never easy to hand over your most precious baby to anyone, but these gals are amazing in the daily work they do- they are so calm, patient and kind with them and truly care for the children they look after.

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.

Acorn to Oak is such a special place. My daughter attended Acorn to Oak from age 1 through 4, and I…read morecan honestly say that I would send her back in a heartbeat. She was immediately comfortable with the teachers, especially Shareé, despite being a hard baby. The teachers were so patient and gentle with her, and that was the case in all four classes she was in. The teachers are absolute angels. The curriculum has structure, like a weekly theme to learn about a different topic, like bugs, or plants, or the seasons. But the kids are able to learn through play. We loved that each class went outside, rain or shine, in appropriate attire. So much of the day is spent outside so kids can play and explore. It was so fun to hear my kid come home talking about finding worms and pill bugs, or about how she learned about practical skills l telling time. The Acorn to Oak community that the staff and teachers have built is so wonderful. There are fun opportunities to hang out with other families at events on and off campus. We built close friendships with many families, and we have memories that we will treasure for years to come. I cannot recommend Acorn to Oak more.

Her experience shines through in how well the school is run, and the kids absolutely adore her. Arista has nurtured our children's confidence, and we are immensely grateful for the positive impact it has had on their development.

The play-based approach is exactly what we were…read morelooking for - our child loves the rotating activity centers, dramatic play areas, story time, and art projects. I really appreciate how much choice kids are given throughout the day. The teachers are experienced with long tenures at the school, which speaks volumes about the work environment and quality of the program. Love how communicative and hands-on the director is--my kid is always excited to greet her which I think reflects how she's involved in the day to day classroom experience. The facilities are also fantastic including a big grassy area, kid-sized garden, playground with sandbox, and access to an indoor gymnasium on rainy days. As a working parent, the afternoon extension program (12:00-2:30 pm) has been great. I do wish it ran through the summer, but I imagine this model helps prevent teacher burnout and keeps staff happy and engaged. While the preschool is housed in a church, the program itself is almost completely secular and welcoming to non religious families.

I loved the social skills and work habits my kids developed while playing and having fun. Every child is respected and able to grow at their own pace. It is also a wonderful church community with lots of fun activities for kids like VBS and Upward basketball where my kids see their old preschool friends. The other review that complained about the director must be fake. Julie is terrific and professional always. The FNS program is designed to meet the learning needs of children, but is not full time child care for a parent's work day. I think there is a big difference between school and babysitting. This is a developmentally appropriate school for 3 and 4 year olds, hence the limited time frame.
