MARY MARGARET DAY CARE AND LEARNING CENTER

We love Mary Margaret’s!!! They are kind, responsive, consistent, and loving. Our son was born during the early part of the pandemic and was in the NICU. We had in home care for the first almost 2 years of his life and were very nervous about moving him to a center. Until we found MM! He is happy, loves going to “school” and is welcomed in every day with a smile and positivity. It makes dropping him off and being away so much easier when you fully trust those caring for your baby. Highly recommend!!

As a first time dad, I wasn't ready to jump right into a daycare center. We tried in-home support and then started looking for home-based daycare. I wasn't comfortable with any of the home-based options we found. I didn't like the idea of having only 1 responsible adult for a handful of children. I'm sure there are wonderful options but the ones we saw felt chaotic or even had a packs of cigarette and a beer on their front porch during our visit. Nope! For a daycare center, I was looking for something like a Montessori option. There was an opening at Mary Margaret, so we went to check it out. They just expanded, so half the facility is brand new. All the classrooms get lots of natural light and are full of primary colors and natural wood. The kids do art activities every day that they bring home. There is lots of play, nap time, singing, reading, and dancing. They have 3 meals and get to go outside to play on the 2 new playgrounds every day as long as the weather is nice. Our 3 year old has been there for over a year and his language skills, play skills, and social skills have exploded. He loves going to school every day and raves about his teachers every evening. We love all of his teachers and the admin & management staff are like family. They take important rules and guidelines seriously and never close last minute due to weather. The consistency of care and communications makes it worth every penny.

We feel incredibly lucky to be able to send our daughter to Mary Margaret. She was just over 6 months when she started attending, and she's almost a year and a half now, and she LOVES it. Ms. Carmi, Ms. Erika and Ms. Alyssa and the ALL teachers in her room(s) are so sweet, and they always send her home with adorable art projects, books, and reports on her meals, naps, and diapers. When we ask her, "Do you want to go to daycare?" she claps her hands and laughs, which is priceless. We're beyond thrilled with the care she receives. Thank you Mary Margaret!

We've been sending our oldest here since he was 2 months old and he's adored it. The staff is so friendly and great at communicating how his day to day is going so that I still feel like I'm part of his day when I can't be there. Every morning, he walks in and goes off to his room without any fussing or hesitation. While my momma heart would love it if he would at least look back at me, I'm comforted by the fact that he knows he is safe and loved in this place and that he's so at ease. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mary Margaret to anyone looking.

Both my daughter and son have been going there since they were 6 weeks old, my son is now 3 years old and absolutely loves it there. He has never been unhappy to go in in the morning and he adores his teachers and friends. I have always felt that both my kids were cared for and loved by the staff just as they would their own children, even when my daughter's baby behavior was less than ideal. Ms. Sherry in the infant room is my all-time favorite teacher -- I was so happy to get to have another kid go through her classroom :-)
