“Very nice community church. They are very supportive of the community and the schools. The church hosts several holiday events and is very active with supporting the school athletic activities. I it great to have a church really give back to the community they are in.”
“My family absolutely loves childtime! The staff and supervisor are amazing and really caring. My child always comes home excited about their day. The place is really clean, safe and fun. I feel completely confident and comfortable leaving my little one. Highly recommend!”
“We love La Petite! My 3 year attends here and has since they were 18mo. As a first time mom, the sincere care the teachers and Jenny, the director, has for my child’s well being and education is beyond comforting. I love the app that keeps me up to date with daily activities and pictures that makes me feel involved even when I’m not there. I absolutely adore the other kiddos who know not only who I am, but knows my child and always say, “your mom is here!” I have seen a huge vocabulary increase and social awareness in my child. Can’t wait for my second to attend!”
“Love this school all 3 of my boys went here for pre-k. Definitely awesome staff and taught my children well. Pick up and drop off process is a pain and could be sorted out in a better fashion. But everything else absolutely love this school.”
“My daughter has been at CCYC for 9 months and even before that we definitely had our eye on the center (she was not two yet). Working in childcare myself it is important for me to know that my daughter is in a high quality center, and the daycare I had to pull her out of months before she could start at CCYC was awful. CCYC has low retention for teachers which means my daughter has not had a million different adults to have to meet and learn, they have field trips every month which many daycares (don't offer and encourages children's exploration and gross motor development), and she comes home telling me such fun stories including other children and the staff being nothing but kind to her. My daughter has skin sensitivities and CCYC has been so patient and helpful in making sure she gets the help she needs whether it is a dietary adjustment, lotion at certain times of the day, or anything else. It's too bad that CCYC only takes school agers for the Downtown school or we would definitely keep our daughter enrolled until she maxed out. I have not seen in the 9 years of living in the metro a better quality daycare to take my child!”
“I switched from an in home daycare to a center a few years ago. Since then I have noticed a huge growth in my son. Karen has helped me so much with his learning and getting us the help he needs. She brought in a therapist to work with him for PT, OT, and speech. She also brought up some behavioral issues he was having and since then we have been able to get his diagnosis and a start of an IEP for school. Karen and all the teachers are wonderful and truly caring!”
“We found them on a whim more than 8 years ago, and it ended up being one of the best decisions we’ve made for our family.
They’ve provided an incredible foundation for our daughters, and the love, safety & consistency they show every day is unmatched. The teachers truly care about your kids, and it’s been so special watching our girls grow up here.
They continue to invest in their facilities and programs, which shows their commitment to families. We are incredibly grateful and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for a daycare they can fully trust.”
“Clean, quiet, student free today (lol), and it is in a great location. They are the best clinic around. I have dealt with the Big Boy company and a Ma & Pop shop in the Metropolitan area. Very professional setting with great abilities. Thanks!”
“The staff here is a 10, they are amazing. While they have a security staff upstairs the one thing that has always bothered me is that to get in the backdoor you need a key fob for pre K access. Yet on the side of the building there is an unlocked door which you can get to 1 through 6th grade kids, yet you also can just walk around to the pre K kids rooms. So if security is important why not key fobs on both outer door access?”

“We had a great experience with this daycare. The staff was always kind, attentive, and made me feel comfortable leaving my daughter in their care. Valeria really enjoyed her time there and learned so much. Communication was clear and consistent, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend them to other parents!”
