  • All three of my kiddos have gone to ACT, and I couldn't be happier. If you are looking for a place that allows kids to just be kids and have fun while growing and learning, then this is place. They also have an amazing pre-K and summer programs. I would recommend this daycare to anyone looking for an amazing place for their kids to thrive.

  • ACT has been amazing to our daughter and to us. They treat us like family. She's been enrolled since she was 5 months old. She's nearly 2 now and loves going to ACT. No worries about meltdowns at drop off for us. She runs to her classroom. As a parent, it makes it so much easier. This place is wonderful!!
