  • We've been so pleased with our experience at the Children's Center. The space is always clean, safe, and welcoming. The teachers are genuinely engaged with the kids (not just supervising). They truly build relationships, and create fun activities each day. We've seen our child learn new skills, gain confidence, and grow in so many ways since starting here. As parents, it's reassuring to know our child is in such a positive and nurturing environment. We would absolutely recommend the Children's Center to other families looking for a preschool or daycare.

  • My two kids had the absolute pleasure of attending The Children's Center, both from 3-5 years old. The staff is kind, caring, professional, and communicative. The Center offered both academic and emotional enrichment. My kids graduated from TCC well prepared for kindergarten and have both thrived thanks to the stepping stones put in place by The Children's Center.

  • As a family member who has helped with drop-offs and pick-ups, I've had the chance to see firsthand what a wonderful place this preschool is. Every visit, I'm greeted by kind, welcoming teachers who clearly know and care about each child. The classrooms are filled with creativity, and it's always a joy to see the children's artwork and the fun, hands-on projects they've been working on. This preschool is a wonderful place for children and families alike.

  • We couldn't be happier with our experience at this preschool! From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt welcomed by the caring, compassionate, and dedicated staff. They have created such a warm, nurturing environment where children are encouraged to learn, explore, and simply enjoy being kids. What has impressed us most is how education-focused the program is while still honoring the magic of childhood. Learning is woven into play, exploration, and hands-on experiences in a way that keeps young children engaged without rushing them to grow up too quickly. The teachers are constantly creating meaningful projects that incorporate art, nature, and creativity, helping the children develop a genuine curiosity about the world around them. By the age of four, our child could explain the phases of the moon, understood the importance of caring for our planet, and was learning Spanish—all while coming home excited to tell us about new discoveries, friends, and adventures from the day. The growth we've seen socially, emotionally, and academically has been incredible. The teachers truly care about each child and their individual development, and the communication with families has always been outstanding. We feel so fortunate to have found a preschool that fosters a love of learning while creating such a joyful, supportive community. We are incredibly grateful for everything this preschool has done for our family and would recommend it without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional early childhood education experience.

  • Our children attended the Children’s Center, and our experience was disappointing. Communication under the current leadership was very poor, and we frequently out of the loop regarding important information. In our time there they got rid of enrichment programs, like music classes. Since switching preschools, we've seen firsthand how much difference strong communication, family engagement, and a well-rounded curriculum can make. Do not recomend.

  • We had a deeply painful experience at the Children’s Center. Throughout our time there, communication from staff and the director was consistently inadequate. Families deserve transparency, timely communication, and a genuine commitment to inclusion. Regarding The Children’s Centers' response to my original review: there was no honest, coordinated, or meaningful effort to address my child’s challenges while attending this school. We were repeatedly told the goal was simply to “get through the summer,” not to help my child succeed or develop, but to move my child on to the next school. Since leaving, my child has joined an exceptional school with highly trained staff and clear, effective communication. None of the issues experienced at The Children’s Centers have followed my child. It wasn’t until we experienced what quality care and support actually look like that we realized just how poorly our concerns had been handled.
