  • Children First has gone above and beyond in caring for, teaching and mentoring our kids…they have helped teach them so many important lessons…academics, peer acceptance, responsibility, so many life skills and lessons. CF, Donna and her staff have had a hugely positive impact on these kids and their families. My only disappointment is that CF didn’t have a preschool thru 12th grade option; other than that, Children First is one of the best places for children to learn, grow, and have fun. At CF, you become family and that remains long after these kids have grown and gone on to other schools.

  • Children FIRST has been an absolute incredible experience for our two children through preschool, nature base, kindergarten program and school-age summer camp. The Director and the teachers are top notch. Providing lots of love and support while maintaining high standards and expectations. Highly recommend.

  • My youngest attended CF all preschool through elementary ( ages 4 till 10). I could not have asked for better quality care for my child. Donna, the director is very compassionate easy to work with. Donna's main focus has always been about providing the very best care for the children and having top notch caregivers on staff. Donna and the entire CF team helped give my child a solid foundation one full of how to respect, love, and communicate effectively. Highly recommend!

  • Both of my children attended Children First. It was the best preschool! The staff loved them like their own and their nature focus helped them (and me) to realize there is so much more to learning than just learning ABCs. Hands down the best foundation I could have given to my children was to have them go there for preschool. Highly recommend!

  • Children First has been the best decision my husband and I have made regarding our kids. Not only is the staff professional and organized, they are also incredibly warm, welcoming and loving. What a gift to find a center that understands the importance of “school readiness” and unstructured play time and to be able to facilitate that balance on a property that feels like a secret garden?! Both of my kids have been through their program all the way through Kindergarten and I can honestly say they, AND we as a family are better for it.

  • The Children First Center is top notch quality care. Director Donna is amazing goes above and beyond for her staff, children and families they serve. From the moment you walk in and interact with the team at children first it is an experience like no other. Children and families are treated with the utmost respect. Donna was one of the most caring and loving Directors i have ever encountered in my 20 years working with children and families. I have never seen a center so dedicated in providing high quality services to the community and children in their care. The experiences they provide the children will never be forgotten. The team at children first makes a difference daily with their high quality care.
