  We couldn’t be happier with the care our children received here. Ms. Renee was incredibly warm, patient, and truly invested in my child’s growth. We especially love the consistent updates and photos we receive throughout the day, it gives us such peace of mind knowing they are in such a nurturing environment. It’s clear the staff loves what they do!

  I feel so fortunate that my child attends The Wooden Shoe Nursery School. Everyone has been absolutely amazing from the school director to my son's very first teacher, Ms. Roberta. With the guidance, care and educational classroom structure that she provided I watched my son flourish in just a short period of time. I can't thank Ms. Roberta enough as this is my child's first time in a school setting. If you are looking for a daycare that cares and educates look into The Wooden Shoe Nursery School.

  Finding the right daycare—a place that offers not just care, but education, trust, and reliability—has been a real challenge. We’ve spent countless hours reading reviews and touring facilities, but this place has truly stood out. Choosing you has been by far the best decision we’ve made. Thank you for providing such an exceptional experience and for taking the time to answer our questions and ease our concerns. You’ve given us peace of mind, and for that, we’re incredibly grateful.

  I’m incredibly grateful for the love, care, and dedication this daycare has shown to my daughter over the past three years. She started when she was just a little one, and now at 4 years old, I’ve seen her grow so much—emotionally, socially, and academically—thanks to the nurturing environment they’ve provided. The entire staff deserve all the praise. They’ve always been kind, professional, and attentive. I never had a single issue, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing my daughter was safe, happy, and well cared for every day. Now that she’s getting ready for Pre -k, I truly feel she’s ready for this next chapter. The strong foundation she received here has prepared her so well for what’s ahead. Thank you all for being such an important part of her early years. We will always be grateful!

  I couldn’t have chose a better School to send my daughter. From the staff to the teachers, everyone has a bright and positive energy that makes it enjoyable for my daughter to want to go to school every day. She has learned and improved tremendously in her speech, her critical thinking skills, her manners, and I absolutely adore the fact that they have activities every month that helps with their exploring minds. I highly recommend this school to anyone that’s looking for a place to put their child!

  We're having a wonderful experience at this school. The teachers are incredibly patient, caring, and attentive to our child's needs. They take the time to help our little one grow and develop at their own pace, providing both support and encouragement along the way. We've noticed a big improvement in our child's confidence and social skills, and we truly appreciate the nurturing environment the staff creates there every day for our little ones. We couldn't have asked for a better place for our child's early education! We're very happy overall.
