I have used this provider for more than 6 months

We've been with Ducklings for 7 months now. They have done a superb job keeping the kids safe during the pandemic. We've been to 3+ daycare's in the past 7 years and Ducklings is by far the best. They always keep us informed about what's going on in the classroom and send lots of pictures of my child throughout the day.

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

This facility is beautiful, spacious and clean. Staff are warm, knowledgeable and focused on the children in their care. I have 2 grandchildren in this daycare and even after a short time I can see social and developmental progress. I’m excited knowing they will thrive in this environment.
