  • My son has absolutely loved going to daycare here. They throw all these great community building events and he's made so many friends. I also love they provide a snack and lunch each day. He's really thrived and we've seen a big improvement with his letters as well! Highly recommend!

  • We made the switch to Elm Tree a little over a year ago and couldn’t be happier! Center is very well run and a great setup for year round learning and physical activity for our 3 year old son. The director and teachers do an excellent job of bringing creativity and excitement to the classroom. Highly recommend!

  • We found Elm Tree back in 2020 when we were hoping to send our daughter somewhere in person during the height of Covid. We had such a wonderful experience, we've tried to get our other children in once they were old enough! It was full when we wanted to send our son, but now our second daughter is lucky enough to attend. I am so impressed by the curriculum, the engaging and play-based activities, and how genuine and loving the teachers and staff are. We love Elm Tree!!

  • My family has been connected with Elm Tree for several years, and the program has consistently exceeded expectations. Not only does this program provide children with structure and stability, but it also weaves creativity, community and love into every day the children are in attendance. The daily schedule is well thought out (academics, rigor in the morning) followed by rest and play in the afternoons. The food is well balanced and appetizing for the kiddos. The environment is a parent's dream with cleanliness, organization, but also wonderful artwork and displays of academic progress on the walls. Each season or occasion/holiday are celebrated in an informational, fun manner. My son has brought home so many treasures that I will keep forever (i.e., hand-painted Thanksgiving gratitude napkin, adorable Christmas ornaments, a Valentine's day craft, etc.). And the icing on the cake is the staff. Every single staff member that I interact with in the mornings at drop off and afternoons at pick up is personable, kind, and great at communicating. My son has special needs and the staff have accommodated him, but also challenged him to grow and develop alongside his peers. On his tough days the staff let me know what happened, but always end the conversation with forgiveness and a hope for a better day tomorrow with him. They are such good people. They genuinely care about their students, and as a parent, I absolutely could not ask for more.

  • I cannot say enough great things about this school and its staff. The growth I have seen in my son transitioning from another school has been incredible. The staff is always polite, welcoming and very friendly with my family. Their curriculum is excellent and exactly what my son needed to grow in his education. I would definitely recommend Miss Maggy and her amazing teachers for any family looking for a school for their children.

  • We have had several children in our family enrolled at ETC over the last 4 years. We could not be more pleased with the experience we have had. The care and dedication from the staff is tremendous. They do an amazing job of introducing new types of play to children along with creating unique learning opportunities for students over the course of the year. Would highly recommend sending your child to elm tree. The staff is amazing!
