The teachers here are very kind. They put extra love into caring for your children and you always know they are in good hands. My kids have learned, accomplished, and grown so much since attending KST. I will definitely recommend this pre school and daycare to family and friends!
Neisha KhanAug 5, 2026We love Ms. Shelly and the KST team! From the moment we met them, it was an instant connection! Not only did she feel like family but she treats our children just as her own! The moment my boys were in need to attend daycare, there was no doubt that KST was our first and honestly our only choice. They show consistent dedication in every learning experience and suggest areas of opportunities in which they personally focus on for each individual student. We receive daily check ins regarding their activities and progress reports which make the experience very reassuring for those who are hands on and especially for those who are first time parents placing their kids in the care of another! We love the diversity of foods and activities. Everyday there’s always something fun and interesting happening at KST! We receive monthly schedules and calendars of the events taking place. Celebrations are a must which we love! The transitions from not only one but two of my babies has been so smooth and always reassuring that they are in the best hands! Everyday my son tells me how much fun hes had! Thank you for caring for our family! I would always choose them in a heartbeat!!
Shavana MahadeoAug 3, 2024My husband and I were beyond nervous about entrusting someone outside of the family with caring for our little girl. Our once shy and reserved pandemic toddler has blossomed into a sociable, articulate and independent child thanks to the support and nurturing she receives at KST. It’s been incredible to see her intellectual curiosity develop as she’s progressed through the well thought out, dynamic curriculum. Her education at KST has been the perfect balance of structured activity and free play, all delivered by KST’s remarkably kind and supportive staff. The fact that our little girl has grown incredibly attached to her teachers, including Ms. Janet, Ms. Annie, Ms. Ronita, Ms. Ana Lisa and Ms. Davi, speaks volumes. As for Ms. Shelly— our little girl took to her almost instantaneously, which is unusual for her, and Ms. Shelly continues to be one of her favorite people. The peace of mind that comes from knowing that our little girl is in safe and caring hands has meant the world to us as parents. The updates and pictures posted in the parent portal throughout the day help us feel that we’re a part of our daughter’s day. The staff is always accessible and communicative, both by phone and through the portal. Ms. Shelly also does a wonderful job of incorporating special days that encourage parental participation throughout the month. We also appreciate the bright and engaging learning space, which is always meticulously clean. We will forever be indebted to the KST family for helping us raise our little girl. I always recommend KST without hesitation to anyone in need of child care. In fact, our little boy will be joining in a few short months. Thank you, KST family!
arya ranasingheAug 2, 2024Shelly and her team at KST Daycare are beyond amazing! They are welcoming, supportive, caring and make you feel safe and reassured when leaving your children with them. This was the first school setting my oldest experienced when she was 2 and she still talks about Mrs. Shelly so much that we brought her back for summer camp and she’s now 5. Along with that we also had no doubts this should be her sister’s first school experience as well (age 3). We have all intentions of bringing them back summer after summer.
Kavita Chandanie (Kuhveetuh)Aug 1, 2024Our journey with KST for the past 2yrs has been nothing short of amazing. I would highly recommend this daycare/preschool to any parents looking for quality early childhood education. Ms. Shelly and her dedicated staff always go above and beyond making sure my son is comfortable. So much fun and learning, outdoor playtime, the place is very clean and safe. My son has learned valuable habits and made excellent progress. He has made so many friends and countless memories.
Cassandra AhmadJul 30, 2024KST daycare has the place I wanted to send my son even before I was pregnant I joined the waitlist since my son was 6 months old since there wasn’t no availability but I didn’t mind I knew I wanted to send my son there, even before meeting ms Shelley from our first conversation I knew I would wait however long I had to. My son goes part time and I cannot be more happy with his progress and his social skills has expanded, I love receiving the updates from his teachers ms Julie ms Davie. I love all the activities that he does he is exploring and learning at the same time, his meals always looks yummy. Since sending him he has started to eat a lot more different foods and I couldn’t be happier with his progress. KST daycare is different from others because of the curriculum the activities they engage the kids in , placing them in a school like environment . If you are thinking about signing up I highly recommend it . Your child will be in good hands as they love your child as their own. Thank you ms Shelley and team for all you guys do for my son ❤️
