First I would like to give a special shout out to Mr.Grundy and his staff. The amount of commitment and knowledge they pour into this program for our children is absolutely phenomenal! I can not be more happy with the quality of education, structure, and commitment to growth. The routine they have in place is very effective, while having high expectation for all students and parents which is everything I was looking for. Mr.Grundy was very informative on learning tactics and curriculum they offer. Effectively communicating with me throughout the whole enrollment process to make sure all my standards and my child’s needs were met. Thank you to the whole entire staff for all that you do not many facilities are run whole heartedly so I am very grateful for you guys!!
I am extremely grateful we found STEMS. My two year old son has flourished under the guidance and care of Ms. Anna and Mr. Grundy. My sons confidence, speech, manners and behavior is exceptional, much of it due to his time at STEMS. They provide an excellent curriculum, and it far exceeds a regular pre-school experience.
I absolutely love the support and encouragement from STEMS. From day one they have made it a priority to communicate about my sons behaviors activities and potential. My son hasn’t come home once with an issue about anything that has happened and he is very vocal. He talks about Ms Ana & Mr Grundy with such joy. Simple things like Ms Ana making sure my son is bundled up before walking out the door & Mr Grundy always giving us motivational and inspiring conversations. The school communicates meal plans & general syllabus for the month, Shares pictures of the children daily activities and does the very best to communicate any changes. It takes a village and I love this one!
It’s not a “DAYCARE” it’s a learning facility a stepping stool for these children. Helping them learn, as well as teaching them manners, sharing and much more. It’s the best decision I’ve made. My sons interactions with other children have changed in an amazing way. Thank you.
My daughter loves going to school each morning and she’s very hard to please. She learns new things each day and doesn’t want to leave when I come get her. I highly recommend it here
Mr.grundy is a sweetheart n he cares about the kids. He haves the best interest for our children. Everytime hes at the center he communicates alot and always ask if we have any concerns. My son really loves going everyday. They not only watch and feed them they also teach the toddler motor skills n more they give them homework. The main thing I like is that they have an app call brightwheel which they send you pictures, communications of any kind. My son loves hes teachers he gets excited to see them. After the first daycare we thought we wasn't gonna have him in any daycare since we had bad experience there. but once we found stems we fell in love with it from the beginning.
I highly recommend stems learning childcare center. I have a 2 yr old he dont speak but he understands and that was one of our extremely high concern. This is hes 2nd daycare and will be the only daycare he will be attending until he starts school. The first daycare he went we had a bad experience and stem is a way better childcare you can smell the cleanness and my baby loves the place everytime we take him he be excited and he dont be wanting to leave he loves miss iris and miss elsa.
Great place to take your kids friendly and super sweet staff especially Mrs Iris...friendly and helpful coordinator.. Hes about your kids hes not about the $ a lot of places dont care about the kids and only want the $ this is not one...i am very happy and pleased with them...i dont have to worry about my daughter they have an app called brightwheel where they send me pictures and updates about her so i am very happy i found this place she will be going there until she starts school and shes only 2yrs old..very very good place :) <3
Beware, the owners are very unprofessional and disorganized their rules will be followed and changed on a day by day basis and they literally tell you any time you complain just leave then . The ONLY GOOD THING IS THE TEACHERS . I LOVED THE STAFF THEY CARE ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN . AS FOR THE OWNERS THEY SERIOUSLY DONT NEED TO BE IN CHILD CARE INDUSTRY. complain to parents about how we dont pay for their vehicles if transportation vans break down they will lie and say they gave you notice of rule changes and have no prof of these such notices . Refuse to pick up your children as you need to call them each day you need your child picked up from school although they get paid for full time everyday care ! But if your desperate go i can say their staff wont mistreat your child. Especially ms stephanie shes an amazing person ! My kids will miss her . 1 star for daycare the other star is just for Ms.Stephanie. disappointed and disgusted.
