  • We enrolled our son at Encounter for his pre-K year, and we have been extremely happy with his teachers and the school in general. The teachers create a fun, welcoming environment while also working on building skills that the kids will need in Kindergarten. The school also makes it a priority to plan fun events that the whole family can attend. This has been a great way to get to know the other families in the classroom. We highly recommend Encounter Learning Center!

  • So impressed with the quality of care my daughter receives here. I learned about this daycare from a mom out in the town and am so thankful that she told us about this hidden gem. My daughter has received loving care and honestly an incredible start of an education. She’s almost two and I’m so impressed every day with her language skills thanks to her teachers and all the staff at Encounter!

  • After touring multiple daycares, stepping into encounter learning I knew right away was the perfect fit for our family. It felt like the most genuine tour and they made us feel right at home. The teachers and administration all make the effort to get to know your child no matter what class they are in. It is a great community where I know my child is safe and loved. My son has been going for 2 years and my daughter will be starting in the infant program in July. We love encounter!

  • My 1.5-year-old daughter started at Encounter Learning Center last week, her very first daycare, and I can’t express how supportive and helpful the staff has been in making this transition smoother than we ever anticipated. Their knowledge and expertise with children are immediately evident and such a relief. We’ve especially appreciated the constant updates and open conversations about realistic expectations, which have helped us tremendously. We are beyond excited to continue being a part of this wonderful program!

  • My two year old started at Encounter a few months ago. I was anxious about the transition to daycare because the decision to enroll my daughter came quickly and after some unexpected schedule changes. She was welcomed with so much love. My daughter adapted relatively fast due to having so much fun throughout the day. She loves her teachers and is excited to play with her friends. The photo updates are fun to receive and are good conversation starters when I pick her up. I am grateful for Encounter. The staff is professional, communicative, and loving. My daughter is happy and I am happier. I am at ease knowing my daughter is being well cared for and is also having the greatest time.
