Back in June my then 18-month-old (2nd child) started at The Kids' House and by the time she was 20 months, she was counting to 10 and saying the days of the week in Spanish. She's now 22 months and can say and point out letters of the alphabet, can say colors, says the days of the week in English as well, can sing various songs, sips water out of a cup by herself, and is starting to show interest in using the potty (lets me know when she needs to pee), and says "gracias mama" after I hand her anything. It's pretty amazing. She's thriving and since we live a few blocks away, will literally run to her school because she loves it. They send photos of the kids daily, they have cameras so you can watch your little one, and they send monthly education plans with links to youtube songs they sing as well as the titles of books so you can play, learn, and practice with your little one at home. I only wish we'd sent our older one there!!! Love the teachers there. And they keep the rooms impeccably clean. LOVE THIS DAYCARE!
