Parent feedback includes comments describing the school as “perfectly clean” with “kind staff” from Vivienne’s mother in the Infant Classroom and noting that families “never worry” and feel their children are “in caring hands,” from Avery and Miles’s mother in the Pre-K Classroom. Other parents mention a “welcoming environment,” organized and engaging classrooms, and staff who treat families “like family,” with several parents saying their children learn a lot and seem to enjoy attending. One parent notes that staff are friendly and that their baby receives adequate personal attention even in a room with several infants, and another says the teachers in every room are dedicated and make them feel at ease leaving their children in the school’s care.
