Kids Express has exceeded our expectations. The teachers are awesome and personalize their care toward the children. They are always giving us updates on our 17 month old regarding words she says, connections she makes, food she likes/dislikes, and shares pictures/video frequently. The campus is beautiful. It's relatively expensive and doesn't have a meal program like other places, but you get great facilities, fantastic teachers, and great care for your child. Worth every penny.
I know a couple parents who've taken their children to Kids Express for many years. They're very pleased with their experiences. In addition, knowing Matt Dahl in a different capacity, I can certainly see his passion for the children, the campus, and the future of the school
