  • This preschool has such a cute, quaint atmosphere that immediately feels warm and welcoming. The teachers and administrators truly care about the children and consistently go above and beyond to make every child feel loved, supported, and successful. It's clear that the staff are passionate about what they do, and we're so thankful to be part of such a wonderful school community!

  • First off, Melissa, Rut, Amanda, and Marlyn are the best teachers ever! I’m so impressed with this daycare! We tried another one in Gainesville, and now we totally understand how much the other was lacking. They have cameras in each room, which is a huge plus for me. It’s so convenient to have that extra security and to be able answer any questions if an event occurs. The school also gives us a monthly calendar with all the meals, which is really helpful. My child has food allergies, and they’re super accommodating and always have alternatives ready. I love that they host events that parents can attend almost every month, and that the teachers are so involved in my child’s education. Even though he’s in one classroom, all the teachers know his name! It feels like he’s really cared for here. They also have separate playgrounds for smaller and bigger kids, which is great for his development. At two, my child knows his ABCs, can count to 10 confidently, and can even identify objects and colors! The school has weekly lesson plans that they center around and include fun activities. I feel like this school is more than just a daycare, and my child really benefits from going here. You can get updates on the website with photos and activities, which is really helpful. I wish I could respond to the teachers directly through an app, but I can always call the front office and they’ll speak with my child’s teachers. All the teachers here are amazing! There’s not a single class I wouldn’t recommend. I’ve volunteered in almost every classroom and met most of the teachers, and I know they truly love their jobs and the children they care for. I wish we had started with this daycare from the beginning and recommended it to you over any other.

  • Mrs. Melissa ,Rut, Amanda, and Mrs. Renee are all great teachers. My kids love them and never cry when I leave them there. They have been at this daycare going onto 2 years and i know they are well taken care of and loved on everyday. Mrs, Nora, Marlyn, Paula, Paola, Stephanie are all great!!! And i dont say that lightly. Let me also add that I drive opposite way 30 mins to take them there because i do not trust other people with them.

  • My son was there from 6 weeks old to almost 15 months old. When the school was run by Ms. Elizabeth we had an amazing experience there. I can’t say enough good things about the infant care team there. Paula and Ms. Nay are 10/10. Even Mrs. Rachel the assistant director has been nothing short of amazing. I never thought I would have to write a review on this matter. The new director is just not good. I had to pull my son out of the daycare unexpectedly due to some unfortunate circumstances with his new teacher. And let’s just say I haven’t received one phone call from the DIRECTOR about how my child is and if he is doing okay. Not one! The assistant director and the infant teachers have all reached out on the subject but not the new “director” I would have recommended this place through and through a couple of months ago but unless they do some hire up changes I wouldn’t come back. PLUS THEY DECIDED TO RUN MY CARD WHEN MY CHILD DOESNT EVEN GO THERE ANY LONGER.
