I am so pleased with this center!! My son loves this daycare. He has been attending since he was and infant. The curriculum they use has helped my son to put together 3 and 4 letter words! He knows his colors and numbers in Spanish from doing it every week. When he starts school next year I'm going to be so disappointed the staff take care of the children with love and grace. The owners have done a fabulous job with taking care of the families that enter through the doors. Thank you Genesis One!

My son was so well prepared for school it was amazing to me. He is now a second grader but I have to contribute his knowledge to the time he spent at Genesis One. The staff is awesome, friendly and amazing with the children. The owner is an excellent care taker.

My first daughter attended Genesis One from 15 months until she went to Kindergarten. We had a fantastic experience! The owner Sarah and her husband pour their heart and soul into the preschool and it shows with the level of care that is given to the kids.

I was very pleased with Genesis One when my 20 month attended the preschool. Under certain circumstances I needed to take her out. The disappointment came when I left,and the items that I left behind were misplaced, thrown away or given to someone. I actually went back to get my items, and know one could locate them.  I then called and still to this day no one has called or contacted me about her items. Where is the respect!
