Lakeview Child Center at Horizon

Although one of the pricier daycares in the area, it is hands-down the best in staff and activities. They have a solid curriculum, teachers and staff who truly love 'their' children, and tons of activities both in and out of the classroom that the kids really get into. They're only closed for a few holidays (NOT the week between Christmas and New Years like Goddard is) and good with the hours. My two children (toddler and preschool) have on numerous occasions asked if they could stay at school or whined that they had to leave because they were having so much fun. They love the water days in the summer, nature walks, messy arts and crafts, climbing in the playground and just being kids in general. The potty training is awesome and right on target as it progresses through the introduction stage to the 'remind every couple hours' to the 'it's available when you need it' as they get older and more confident with the toilet. Their menu made us step it up at home on the healthy-yet-tasty front because we were embarrassed that they ate better at school than they did at home. All in all it's well worth the money to have the children in such a great program and positive atmosphere.
