I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I cannot say enough about the nurturing staff who give a lot of individual attention to each child. The teachers go above and beyond to provide dynamic, hands on activities and an excellent learning environment. Each child is encouraged to explore, think and learn. The classroom is always so beautifully decorated with the children’s art and they are made to feel right at home. Now that schools are online, Miss Nicole continues to deliver a meaningful live story time daily followed by fun activities. We also get daily messages that include important info and more fun ideas from the teachers. They have absolutely thought of everything and met every single need for the student every step of the way in this unusual time of COVID 19. I highly recommend this school!
