  We switched to this daycare in 2021 when my daughter was 2.5. Everyone was so welcoming and helped ensure she had a smooth transition. She learned so much during her couple years there and was very prepared to start Kindergarten this past school year at 4 years old. Every teacher was so kind, happy, professional, and engaged with the kids. She especially loved all the art projects and creativity time she received. Definitely would recommend this daycare to others!

  My son attended Great Expectations from the fall 2020 to summer of 2023. We were very sad to have to move up to the big school because we had such a wonderful experience during our time with GE. The teachers, staff, and owners took such great care of him and gave him a solid foundation for prek. He had many therapies and needs during his time there and everyone was patient with scheduling and him learning new skills on his own time. They new when to push him and when to support him. We will miss GE and highly recommend this daycare to any growing family.

  My first grader started at GE when she was 3 so completed pre-K and Kinder-Ready here. We absolutely loved the small center and even after she graduated, we kept in touch with her teachers. She was so well prepared for kindergarten last year and I am forever grateful to them for that. When I changed jobs to work from home, I decided to put my younger daughter at a home daycare close to my house. Unfortunately it didn't work out so we brought her to GE at 2.5 in the purple toddler room and couldn't be happier that we made the switch. She has grown leaps and bounds in the 3 short months we've been back. The new things she's learned, the songs she sings, the friends she talks about...its incredible to see the transformation in her. The new tadpole app is amazing too. I know what she does every single day and seeing her pictures daily, reminds me when I miss her at work, that she is loved and care for, happy and learning more then I could ever teach her at home. Plus my older daughter loves to go back when we pick up her sister to see her old "school" and all the teachers. Everything happens for a reason, and I truly believe that's what brought us back to the best daycare around. I recommend GE to everyone who is looking for a daycare or preschool. So much so that I think half my neighborhood has enrolled their kids too!!!

  We have been a part of the Great Expectations family since 2012, and have never had any second thoughts about it being the best place for our children. The center itself is always neat and clean and the teachers are phenomenal. Our 4 year old has been through each room at the center, and has learned so much along the way. I believe she will be well-prepared to enter kindergarten in the fall. We now have another infant who will undoubtedly learn and grow at Great Expectations just like her sister. Great Expectations is highly recommended!

  Can not say enough positive things about this daycare center. From the second you walk in you feel welcomed. The staff and owners go above and beyond to make this just like your second family. My 5 year old graduated from their kinder ready program and my 3 year old is currently in the purple toddler room. My 5 year old is rocking kindergarten because of all their hard work preparing her! My 3 year old is learning things i would never think to teach him. Thank you to all of you lovely ladies for loving my children as if they were your own. This place comes highly recommended!

  We have just started sending our 3 year old to Great Expectations and have a great experience so far. The staff are always warm and excited to see my son. We also are able to get all our questions answered quickly. I especially love the app that is used to for daily reports and a picture every day. My son loves going to Great Expectations!! EDIT: Still loving Great Expectations! We have been with them for 5 years (2 kids). It is going to be sad when our youngest finishes in the summer and heads off to kindergarten.
