Both of my children have attended this facility and I have been extrememly pleased. The staff is wonderful, treat the children just like their own. Both children have been well prepared for Kindergarden by the well organized program at A Child's Place. Hot lunches everyday, outside play time, and fair pricing....doesn't get any better than that! Pricing even includes 2 snacks per day and diapers for those that need them!
I have 2 children currently enrolled in this center. The center is very clean and sanitary. There are 2 directors on staff. The teachers are amazing and truly love the children in their care. They play outside everyday and even use the Rail Trail for nature walks. This center is a great value as they provide diapers, wipes and a hot lunch daily.
Awful place for children! It is unclean and unsafe! Staff members
Physically manhandle children roughly. The director is never present to listen to concerns. Food is prepared in a kitchen that a shedding dog is allowed to walk around in.

Our goal at a child’s place Montessori School is to assist children to reach their fullest potential as healthy, creative, constructive members of a community and to joyfully cultivate a genuine desire for life-long learning. Part of that assistance is to work closely with the parents, to respect the individual child and his or her needs, and to nurture the qualities of independence, warmth, imagination, honesty, grace and resilience.
a child's place believes that social, racial, religious and cultural diversity in the student body contributes greatly to the value of the school experience. It therefore does not discriminate in admission or placement on the basis of sex, race, religion, disability, creed or national origin.
