  We couldn’t be happier with Luke and Friends. From the very first day, the staff made our daughter feel safe, welcome, and loved. The teachers are not only warm and patient, but they also go above and beyond to create a fun and engaging learning environment.We’ve noticed such wonderful growth in her—both socially and academically. She comes home excited to share what she learned. Communication with parents is excellent, and we always feel in the loop about her progress and daily activities. Most importantly, our daughter truly loves going every day. Knowing that she is in such caring hands gives us tremendous peace of mind.

  Luke and Friends is an extraordinary place that fosters the growth, creativity and imagination of each child. From the director to each teacher, the entire staff is compassionate, loving, thoughtful, and ultimately puts the needs of each child first. I am grateful for the love they give my son each day and I know he is well taken care of and in a safe place.

  Luke and Friends is such a wonderful place. We’ve been sending our children there for almost two years and we love it! Everyone is so great. They communicate everything that’s going on and you always feel like you’re in the know and that’s a wonderful feeling when you’re leaving your children with someone else everyday! They also do such fun things for the holidays throughout the year and include the families on activities when possible. We would highly recommend them!

  We were part of the Luke and Friends family for 10 years! We started with our oldest when they opened. He was in the infant room with Miss. Donna and we were hooked! He had separation anxiety and Miss. Donna put my mind at ease every day by welcoming him into the classroom every day with a hug. She was so warm and welcoming that he quickly got over his separation anxiety at drop off. He spent 5 years there and he went into Kindergarten fully prepared and ready to go. My older son graduated from Luke and Friends right before my youngest was born, but Jen and Audra held a spot for my youngest for when he was ready to start! My second one started in Miss. Donna's room right before COVID hit and he loved it there as well! He made so many friends in his 5 years there and started kindergarten with every tool he needed to succeeded. I highly recommend the Luke and Friends Family... they treat your children like their own and I felt very comfortable dropping my kids off there!

  The absolute best! My daughter has been going since she was 5 months old and is now a thriving and happy 4 year old. She comes home everyday with creative art projects and loves to tell me what she’s learned. We’re always impressed with how much she’s learning academically. She absolutely loves going and gets upset that she can’t go on the weekends! Our 7 month old recently started in the infant room- Ms. Donna and Ms. Vangi are the most warm and amazing people. My little guy gets so excited to see them every morning. It’s such a relief to be able to drop our kids off at daycare and know that they are in a warm, safe and nurturing environment. Luke and friends is part of our family, don’t know what we would do without them!

  I can’t say enough about the child care services at Luke and Friends. As a nervous new mom I was upset to leave my boys with anyone that wasn’t me. Miss Donna was so loving and caring with them, made me feel comfortable knowing she and the others were caring for them on a daily basis. The entire staff are amazing.
