The curriculum thoughtfully builds personal emotional awareness while nurturing a real love of learning through play, exploration, and character-focused experiences. The overall atmosphere is consistently positive and supportive. Having the coworking space right next to the preschool is a game-changer for us.

As parents we appreciate the attention to detail that is brought to the development of the center's curriculum. We've also come to rely on the staff's expertise on navigating early childhood milestones (toddler tantrums anyone?). They meet our child where she is at and help her grow in all the right ways. My husband also loves the ability to work upstairs in the co-working space and see our daughter playing in the yard or hear her laughing from the classroom. Take the tour; you won't regret it.

Since my child has been going to Cadence Academy, I've noticed a definite change with her speech as well as her social skills so I'm very satisfied over the top with Cadence Academy!

She's…read moreonly been there two weeks and has already adjusted so well, which really speaks to how caring and attentive the staff is. The staff retention is incredible (many have been there for decades), and you can tell they genuinely love the kids.

I just wish they went through TK!

We're so grateful for everything they've done for our family and would definitely recommend Forever Young to other parents!

He especially liked Miss Mai, and I know this because when I let him know he'd be going to see her he got very excited. The facility is kept super clean and organized, breakfast and lunch are made fresh every day, they read, play music, do arts and crafts, have time outside, etc. I got a daily report and they'd also send me pictures of him so I could see how he was doing. The staff are certified teachers with degrees and are young enough to keep up with all the kids (LOL). Just writing this review makes me sad all over again that I couldn't keep him enrolled. Don't hesitate to check this place out if you are looking for great childcare.

Our son has been attending Little Big Time since July 2016. We have enjoyed our time at the school…read moreand really appreciate their participation in various programs such as hearing and vision screening and First 5 enrichment programs. They have gone on field trips to the Capitol for Native American Day as well as to the farmer's market nearby. All of the staff are very caring and do a great job engaging with the kids, both during fun time and academic time. They have "themes" for each week or month - books, aquatic life, Olympics, and maps are just a few that come to mind. The lessons, art projects, and books displayed around the center are all geared toward the theme during that frame. They post photos to a private Shutterfly site that parents can subscribe to and are very flexible when I need to get our son for a doctor appointment. We also love the meals and snacks are included, which saves us a lot of preparation time at home every day. They have a great play area outside, as well. All in all, we are so happy we found Little Big Time and highly recommend it!

We moved our daughter to Busy Bee after a difficult time at her previous center, where she cried…read moreevery day at drop off and pick up for two months, well past the transition period. She visited Busy Bee for two hours to see if it was a good fit and was immediately comfortable! No tears. We like to think she chose this daycare. Busy Bee has been a nurturing environment for our little one. The teachers are attentive and engaging. I really like that they have been willing to work with our daughter's own timeline rather than forcing her into a schedule. For example, while she was transitioning from two to one nap, the teachers were great about allowing her to nap when needed rather than immediately forcing her into a one nap day schedule for that classroom. They were also understanding as she weaned off a bottle and learned how to use a sippy cup. The classrooms are clean and stocked with lots of toys and books. There is a common indoor play space with lots of opportunity for babies/younger toddlers to develop gross motor skills and an outdoor play space for the older kiddos. The COVID precautions have been excellent at this facility. They truly care about the health and safety of children and staff. Bonus: Busy Bee provides breakfast, lunch, and several snacks throughout the day as well as milk and water. This has been a lifesaver for busy parents, and we appreciate that she gets healthy, balanced meals. They also have a music enrichment program and gymnastics! Busy Bee does not use an app to provide updates and photos throughout the day. Personally, I do not mind this at all as I used to obsessively check my phone at work for app updates. It is nice that the teachers are able to focus on the kiddos instead of logging everything on a tablet or phone. They are very good about relaying information at pick up. We are interested in nap time/length so the teachers always have that information for us. Other parents would like to know about diaper changes, eating habits, etc, and the teachers are excellent about communication with each family. My daughter talks about her daycare friends and teachers when she is at home. While we have to work, it is comforting to know that she is not only well cared for at Busy Bee but that she is happy to be there!

The teachers here are nurturing and passionate about working with infants and children. The space is wonderful and the courtyard that the infants play in is so bright and beautiful. I love that there is an on-site cook; it takes the guesswork out of making lunches. Although my daughter is still too young to participate, I love that they offer gymnastics for the 18mo and above children. That is something to look forward to in the near future. I can't say enough great things about this great community and their teachers. I'm happy to send my child to Busy Bee.

Switching to Art Beast was one of the best decisions we made. He adjusted incredibly quickly, in fact, within his first week, the teachers commented that it felt like he'd been there forever. They also played a huge role in helping us potty train him, and he was fully potty trained within about a month of starting. The teachers are genuinely kind, caring, and deeply invested in the kids. You can tell they put their heart and soul into the activities, projects, and experiences they create every day. We love the creative, play-based approach, while still having enough structure to help kids thrive. One thing that really stands out is the mixed-age environment, which has been a great fit for our son. The space itself is multi-story, and thoughtfully designed. They also make great use of their backyard space, which is impressive for a Midtown location and the pricing is on par with other daycares in the area. The location is convenient, and I've never had an issue finding parking for drop-off or pick-up. I highly recommend Art Beast to any family looking for a creative, nurturing, and well-structured play-based daycare.

Not…read moreto brag but he was their first student so I think that is a pretty good qualification in rating this place. Our experience with this program has been nothing but love. They genuinely care for the children, and create a safe place both physically and emotionally. There are so many activities offered throughout the day so the kids never get bored. My initial fear in putting my child into a new environment was quickly quieted once I met all the wonderful teachers. The actual space is beautiful as there are activities designated to different areas of the facility. These include: mud kitchen in the backyard, art on the main floor, dance studio upstairs, fire truck room, and plenty of comfy corners to read a book, just to name a few! If you're on the fence I recommend at least taking a tour of the preschool. You won't find a more inclusive and welcoming space elsewhere. My family has had a wonderful experience, and we look forward to many more memories to be had at ArtBeast.

I was able to make things work but what if I had no other options. We had this arrangement for almost a month. Was very excited for my daughter to go here. Staff seemed nice. Pricing was good. All professional encounters until the last. But maybe it's for the best if she's willing to back out of a commitment 2 days before it starts. Also hours are not up to date.

Now that he's moved up to the Intermediate class, we're amazed at how much he's learned and grown. He talks nonstop about his teachers, Ms. Kat and Ms. Alexis--we can tell how much he loves being around them. His excitement about school says it all. Everyone we've met at the school has been so sweet, welcoming, and supportive. You can really feel the sense of community and care here. I recommend this school to anyone who asks. We're so grateful to be part of it! -Adriana Hernandez
