I am happy to say both my children attended The Children's Station of Brewster. The facility is a warm and nurturing environment where trained professionals provide age appropriate lessons and experiences for each child. You (the parent and child) always feel like you're their favorite. The staff is attentive to each child making them feel special and important within the class and community. My children were also well prepared for kindergarten when the time came. I would highly recommend The Children's Station of Brewster!
