I have two children here and I must say it's a wonderful place to be. My children love it and my 2 year old learns a lot. They are not just a babysitting service, they actually teach the children because at 2 years old my daughter recognizes 8 colors, 7 shapes, body parts, and she sings every song she learns at home. I also will say the relationship isn't limited to only the children but they have a relationship with the parents so it feels like a village/community. They work with their families. They have good communication and an amazing and friendly staff. They have a schedule that provides structure. They take trips in the summer and invite the parents. They even had a graduation once. It's hard to trust others with your children but I trust them!
I had my son Bless in essential element daycare for almost 3years..such an great experience amazing staff...the provider is absolutely wonderful..my son was always change clean feed and most importantly with this daycare It was well organized...if it wasn't for me wanting to explore my child future with private school,Bless will still be attending...we love this daycare and I highly recommend they services....

My child has been going here for over 1 year now and I must say I am a happy parent! Leaving your child with someone is never easy but at Essential Elements they help ease that concern with love and attention they show each child.
