From the moment I met Inga and Jen, I knew Raising Stars would be the perfect place for my infant. Now, after four wonderful years, it’s bittersweet to say goodbye. The center truly fosters a strong community feel, making it feel like a second home for my daughter. They have expertly guided her through some challenging behaviors as she grew, always with warmth and understanding. The staff is consistently welcoming and provides excellent updates throughout the day, keeping us informed and connected. I can’t recommend Raising Stars highly enough! It has been an invaluable experience for our family.
Kristen GertsenJul 30, 2026We’ve had such a great experience at Raising Stars! As parents of a 2-year-old and a 4-year-old, finding a place where both kids feel happy and comfortable is everything, and this daycare really delivers. Communication is a huge standout. The teachers use an an app that keeps us in the loop throughout the day with pictures and updates on meals, naps, and even potty breaks, which we love. It makes those long workdays feel a little closer to them. Most importantly, our kids are genuinely happy, both at drop-off and pick-up, which says a lot. The environment feels warm and welcoming, and it’s clear the staff put a lot of care into building relationships with the kids and stimulating curriculums. They also spend a ton of time outdoors whenever possible, which we really appreciate. From a practical standpoint, the pricing feels reasonable for the area, and the schedule works well for working parents. The hours are great (we typically do 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM), and they only close about two weeks a year, which is super manageable. The only downside we’ve experienced is the sick policy, which is quite strict. We understand the importance of keeping everyone healthy, but the requirement to pick up a sick child within a short window can be tough with work schedules. We had one situation in three years where we couldn’t meet the two-hour window and received a written warning, which felt a bit rigid. Overall, we’re really happy with Raising Stars and feel lucky to have found a place where our kids feel safe, cared for, and excited to go each day.
Kristen PickholzApr 19, 2026We love this daycare! Our child is always happy to go, and the teachers are caring, attentive, and truly invested in the kids. We’ve seen so much positive growth and really appreciate the great communication. Highly recommend!
Lindsey WalkerApr 2, 2026Our two children attend the center. We have enjoyed the teachers the most about going here! You can tell how much they care for the kids and enjoy making fun curriculum for them to follow.
Julie RoccoMar 31, 2026We’ve had such a wonderful experience at Raising Star Center. From the very first day,Ms Grace preschool teacher ( my daughter was very happy every morning to see her and talk all the times how lovely and caring she was with her) and all staff from owner to director created a welcoming, safe, and nurturing environment for our child. The curriculum is engaging, and we could see real growth in both learning and social skills. What we appreciated most was the genuine care and attention the staff gave each child. Communication with parents was always clear and supportive, and we felt like true partners in our child’s early education. Though is hard to move on but we are so grateful for the foundation Raising Star has given our child. We highly recommend this preschool to any family looking for a caring, professional, and enriching place for their little one.
ersjola bullariSep 26, 2025We highly recommend Raising Stars!! Our son always has the biggest smile when he sees his teachers, and even the teachers from the other class rooms!! It is a community feel and everyone is so warm and welcoming. The live updates and pictures throughout the day are everything when we have to be away from him during the day. The teachers care for the babies as they would their own.
