As a grandparent and having vast experience with childcare centers, when you enter Morning Star you immediately know it is a special place! The sound of young children engaged and immersed in play and staff that are warm, friendly and dedicated to creating an environment that is 5 stars!!
Lisa SpurlockJun 19, 2026We love Morningstar! The teachers and staff are like family, and truly love what they do. Our son has been here for 3 years and our daughter starts next week. We live 35 minutes away but it is absolutely worth the drive to us to have the peace of mind knowing our kids are being so well taken care of.
Ashley KowatchMay 29, 2026Two of my children were at MSCDC this past year and it has been an excellent experience for our entire family. The staffing of both the administrators and teachers is top notch and there are many staff members who have worked here for decades. Good staff retention is typically a sign of a great work environment. My children's teachers are all so positive, understanding, patient, and loving. They are always coming up with so many great and creative activities for the classroom. For example, my son who was in Pre-K worked with his teachers and classmates to create an entire story from scratch, including the characters, plot lines, artwork etc. and then published the book at the end of the year. He also learned a lot of social skills throughout the year and improved his emotional intelligence. My two year old daughter had a major improvement in her communication this past year while attending MSCDC and we are actually shocked at her advanced level of speech. We love this school and would highly recommend it!
Ember WilderMay 23, 2026Morning Star Child Development Center is truly one of our favorite customers to work with! From the moment they place an order, their whole team brings so much kindness, joy, and positive energy. We print their t-shirts, but honestly, they make our job feel less like work and more like catching up with friends. And can we talk about Miss Megan for a second? We’re pretty sure she runs on coffee, patience, and pure superhero strength. Caring for that many pint-sized kiddos every day deserves a standing ovation… and maybe a lifetime supply of snacks. 😂 Thank you to the entire Morning Star team for trusting us with your shirts and for all the love and care you pour into those little ones every single day. Y’all are absolute rockstars in tiny-shoe territory! ❤️ Priscilla Gagnon Director Of First Impressions Threds
Priscilla GagnonMay 21, 2026I am a nanny and I have two children In care that attend Morningstar. I dropped them off, pick them up and have interactions with their teachers and the staff. It is a wonderful place. The staff the teachers are all amazing. I feel totally confident in the care, love and attention that might charge us receive while there. I highly recommend Morningstar child development.
Connie HodgkinMay 19, 2026We absolutely loved our experience with Morning Star Child Development Center. Our children attended for several years and even continued in the after-school program once they started kindergarten. The curriculum is excellent for young learners and helped prepare our children academically while still making learning fun. One thing our kids especially loved was all of the creative art activities and hands-on projects. It was always exciting to see what they brought home each week. We are so thankful for the care, support, and memories our family had at Morning Star and would highly recommend them to other families!
