I have used this provider for more than 6 months

If I could give more stars I would. We have been at AWNWA for a little over a year and I'm honestly wondering if it could get any better than it already is. The facilities are kept clean and tidy (as tidy as can be when the kiddos are playing) and the staff are all so kind and attentive - it is a wonderful environment that my little one is thriving in. We are a very Happy AWNWA family! I highly and enthusiastically suggest it!

Great school, perfect location and the staff is amazing.We have been with the center for 2 years and couldn't be happier. From the first day of our visit the teachers have always greeted us with a smile and open arm.My daughter learns so much and has even mastered potty training thanks to the girls. We are expecting our second we are so happy we have a second home to bring her to.Bernard, Dana and Michelle and their teams of teachers are the best.
