  • I can't say enough great things about Christie's Carousel of Learning. We have been part of the Christie’s family since 2011. Our son was two when he started in the Little Ducklings room. He attended full time until he was ready for kindergarten. He loved every minute he spent with the friends he made, the amazing teachers he had and the overwhelming love he received from the wonderful Christie family. We are thrilled that our daughter is also able to experience the same nurturing environment that makes Christie's second to none. She looks forward to and loves going to school, and is sad to leave at the end of each day. She is truly happy – which makes my heart happy. In addition to early educational learning, we believe the environment that Christie’s offers has helped our children develop confidence, understand the importance of being kind to others, explores creative thinking and expression and encourages them to be their unique and wonderful self. The team at Christie’s is committed to making sure our children know that they are safe and loved, even when they are away from home. We truly enjoy the performances throughout the year and summer camp themes are always so much fun! We have so many wonderful memories throughout our years at Christie’s and we are looking forward to making many more. We wholeheartedly recommend Christie’s Carousel of Learning. We know you will love it as much as we have!

  • We have enjoyed our first year with Christie's Carousel. Our son is in a 2 year old class and the staff have been great helping him make a smooth transition into a new environment. He enjoys going to preschool and really loves his teacher. As parents, that is all we can ask for. The staff at Christie's have been accommodating with our schedules and provide great monthly updates to keep us informed. Christie's is a great place for young kids.

  • Great school! Our daughter has been at Christie’s since she was 2 and she is almost 5 now. She loves going there and looks forward to going in the morning.. the staff is great and cares about every student there. She has excelled in all of her studies and will be ready for kindergarten when the time comes thanks to the loving staff at Christie’s ❤️

  • My son has been going to Christie's for nearly a year and I can't explain how much he enjoys it! He has made friendships that I'm sure will last a lifetime! Previously, he had been in a private daycare (which was great at the time) but he was ready to socialize more and meet new kids. While the first few weeks were a little tough, all of his teachers did a great job and he is confident now. The space is everything you would expect a daycare/pre-k space to be and so much more. He has such a fun day everyday and we look forward to the seasonal performances the kids put on! Thank you so much to everyone at Christie's for making this experience one to remember!

  • Christie’s Carousel is the best thing to happen to our family. My son Chris started attending the summer program when he was two and I saw vast improvements in his behavior, socialization and communication skills. He’s excited to go to school and enjoys learning and playing with the other children. The school provides a safe and structured yet fun learning experience. I trust the owners and teachers; not only because of their experience but also because of the obvious passion they have for what they do.

  • From day one everyone at Christie's has been very welcoming. Since starting, we have seen our child get excited about school. There isn't a day in which he does not bring home at least one drawing or craft which he shows us with pride. I have recommended Christie's to many friends - it's a great environment for kids.
