Paidea Child Development Center

Paidea is the BEST! 10/10 recommend. During our daycare search, they stood out to me because of their focus on social emotional learning. We also appreciated how intentional they are when enrolling new students. Prior to our son starting there, the director, Sarah, personally sat down with us to get to know our son, let him get to know the space, and make sure they had all the information needed to help him thrive. He was also allowed to come visit his classroom before officially starting and we got to practice leaving him alone for a few minutes at a time. It felt very comforting bringing him in for his first official day knowing that he was already familiar with his teacher and classroom. We’ve been thrilled with the care he has received at Paidea! All of the staff that work there are wonderful and he is so excited to go every day. Additionally, Paidea provides monthly events and classes for parents which really creates a sense of community. You will not regret sending your child here!

We are really lucky to find a daycare like Paidea. The teachers are so caring, patient, and thoughtful. The staff and daily events are well organized, which enables the great experience. My kiddo is not always easy to handle, but the daycare does an amazing job. She ends up loving this place so much because of the much of love and care she got. I really love daycare with little nature reserve, and sand and dirt in outdoor (better much than artificial plastic playground).

This is truly the best daycare and preschool I know. Before enrolling my child at Paidea, I toured and interviewed 17 daycares in the surrounding area. Paidea stood out immediately for so many reasons. The staff is loving, caring, and deeply hands-on with the children, creating an environment that feels warm, welcoming, and like a second home. The school is clean, safe, and stimulating, with thoughtful activities that keep children engaged, learning, and excited to come each day. The teachers are kind, supportive, and genuinely invested in every child’s well-being. What makes Paidea especially special is that every staff member is involved—it feels like a true community that is nurturing, helpful, and fun, always going the extra mile to support not only the children, but the whole family. My child has truly thrived here, receiving educational, emotional, and social support, and I feel complete confidence knowing he is in the best hands. In addition, my older son attends the summer program and absolutely loves it. It offers the same strong sense of community while giving him the chance to learn so much and have a wonderful time. I wholeheartedly recommend Paidea to any family looking for a place where their children will be cared for, supported, and encouraged to flourish.

Paidea has helped our little girl learn and grow SO MUCH in the few years that she’s been attending. We are so thankful to have found such a warm and loving place that our daughter LOVES going to! This is a very special place, we will be coming back every summer after she graduates.

Paidea was our third daycare and we couldn't be happier with our choice. Our son started in pre-school and also went to Kindergarten. Our daughter started in the toddler room and is now in preschool. They both LOVE going to Paidea. The curriculum/activities are very well thought out. You can tell the teachers put in a lot of effort to enrich the kids days. They have music, yoga, field trips and more! Our kids get so excited about various special events and would bring up things that happened at daycare even days after. We (both parents and kids) also love their artwork and activities. They are not fancy but very creative. A lot of the materials are from recycling materials from family donations. Our kids always have so much fun. Paidea specializes in children's emotional development and helping kids deal with big feelings, which is an important skill to learn for both of our kids. Paidea also has monthly parent nights to discuss kids development milestones and parenting tools. The director, Sarah, also the owner, really cares about kids and has a great passion for child development. Sarah is truly an incredible resource when it comes to parenting. When we felt like we hit a wall when parenting, we consult with Sarah, and she is always able to provide suggestions and ideas that work for us (both parents and kids). She helped us numerous times on various parenting obstacles we had, from sleeping, big feelings (frustration, fear, disappointment, angry etc). Paidea is definitely more like a community than just a daycare. Paidea's building and playground is not fancy and the toys are not new but after experiencing two other daycares, we think the fancy facilities are for parents, not for kids. What Paidea offers, which is caring, loving and long-tenured teachers, is way more important for the kids. They don't have cameras and they don't send pictures because teachers are focused on interacting with kids, not reporting to parents. You will know your kids enjoy the school when they love going to school everyday and don't want to leave when you pick them up.
