DUCKLINGS EARLY LEARNING CENTER LANDENBERG

We have been with ducklings since 2021 and my first child is about to graduate preschool this year! Ducklings Landenberg has been a great choice for my family. The staff is loving and sweet and really take the time to get to know the kids. Ms. Mendi, Ms. Rachel and Ms. Julia are there to greet us every morning when we drop the kids off in the morning and I love seeing my kids run towards them, excited to start their day! There was a transition period when new management took over the center however I feel like we have settled back into the quality and stability we experienced prior to that transition. The new owners are very sweet, and my kids love giving them hugs at the end of the day. Overall we are thrilled to have been a part of this community, our children are always surprising us with new facts and songs and I feel like my pre-schooler is prepared to start kindergarten in the fall (with a whole bunch of best friends too) !

Ms. Becca has made our daughter’s experience at Ducklings so enjoyable. She always goes above and beyond and is simply a great person at heart. We are thankful to have our daughter in such a great environment.

We are having a wonderful experience with this Ducklings location. Our son is in the very best hands with Ms. Kristi. She is a natural with young children and provides my son with all of the love and attention he needs while away from home. He always goes happily into her arms at drop off! Plus she sends the best pics throughout the day. We are incredibly grateful to Ms. Kristi for being a part of our family’s village!

I’d like to take the opportunity to recognize Ms. Becca in the Cricket room. After a bumpy start to our time transitioning away from the warm, attentive, and communicative staff in the Infant and Waddler rooms, we have been grateful for the consistency, attention, and care that she has brought to the room since her arrival. Her presence and relationship with our daughter is evident from the moment we walk in for the day and our afternoons when she stays later are full of sweet goodbyes. She’s always able to share status updates that show she is attentive and caring for her well-being and development which has been a much welcomed improvement from when there was a lead teacher gap. Although I already have trepidation for an anticipated move up, I can only hope that we’ll continue to see improvement going forward. I’m hopeful that some of the communication gaps, billing confusion, and general staffing concerns will minimize and cease to exist with time. Ms. Katie as the new director has had a noticeably positive impact. At this point, my review reflects the impact of Ms. Becca. Without it, it would not be as high. I will be adjusting my review accordingly as things progress.

We have been at Ducklings for 5 years. We have had many wonderful teachers and the activities and the learning the kids do is great. Ms. Mendi is a fantastic teacher who really cares about the kids in her class and is a great educator. She is the reason we are still there.
