Care-A-Lot has been a wonderful experience for our family. The teachers are genuinely caring, attentive, and invested in the kids. They keep the days fun with engaging activities and a consistent routine that my children really thrive on. We’ve been so impressed with how much our boys have learned during their time there. From the things they know academically to the social skills and independence they’ve developed, it’s been amazing to watch their growth. We’re very grateful for the care and consistency they provide.
Natalie BensonMar 3, 2026We have been sending our daughter here for almost three years now and only have wonderful things to say about this place. Our daughter genuinely loves her caregivers and they demonstrate they truly care about her as a person each and every day.
Ann MasenFeb 2, 2026Care A Lot came highly recommended and we are really happy we have our child there. Our experience has been wonderful! We had left a childcare facility in the area that the staff was not very experienced and patient with early toddlers. It was stressful to find a new childcare center, then be anxious about your child having to change and adjust somewhere new. Additionally hope that you don’t have the same experience as you did at the previous childcare center. Our child thrives at Care A Lot, enjoys it a lot! The staff is really kind, nurturing and patient. A total gem.
D. B.Feb 13, 2025A family oriented environment and some of the most caring people I've ever met who've watched over my childern. 🥰
Ms. AsheMay 17, 2023My son went to Care-A-Lot for 3 years .. he is now 20 and he’s still best friends with some of the kids he met here. we have the fondest memories of this wonderful place .. always thankful to the staff for the great care they gave my son and all the children :)
gloria kostyrka athanisMay 1, 2019They are a loving group at a reasonable rate. I have no safety concerns, educational concerns at all. It just has a low ceiling so it is loud. But kids like loud!
