This school is amazing. My children are loved and cared for and taught respect and pre-K prep. My School age child receives help with homework and they have one of the best summer programs I have ever seen. The school is staffed with caring professionals and is constantly updating with new supplies, furnishings, learning/teaching toys and centers. I live in Newport and it is worth the couple of miles to drive to the day care to avoid the Newport daycares! I recommend Childcare Network #74 over any other option!
This location provides a professionaly, nuturing environment. My son has been attending this location for nearly 5 years. He started at the tender age of 6 weeks. Mrs. Sherry and her staff embraced my baby as their own. They've embraced him (and all the other kids) as part of their extended family. My son feels safe while in their care. I leave him each morning, in what I know to be lovable hands. I recommend this location to anyone. In my eyes, they can't be beat!!
