“We can't say enough good things about Kids Country. The staff is second to none across the board, and they treat our child like one of their own which is really great. Everyone is friendly and the learning environment seems to be excellent because our child has learned/progressed a lot since joining. The facility is top notch and very clean. We love that we got our child enrolled there when we did, and we highly recommend it to anyone who asks.”

“I grew up going to this daycare. I have a lot of fond memories from here. It was a wonderful experience and it most certainly positively influenced me and made me who I am today. Their Christian curriculum for kids is fantastic, the owners are delightful people, and all the staff really love working with the kids. I highly recommend this daycare.”

“Mrs. Grubs is the best teacher! ?? we are so blessed to be in her class! My son is very excited to go to school so he can meet and learn with Mrs Grubs! She’s very passionate, and loving and knows how to make kids feel special and loved! She has a talent for teaching kids the way I as a mom is not able to.
Mrs V is another reason why we love and encourage you to be part of this school! She knows every child and their family, which makes you feel so unique and a very warm welcome! I do have a daughter who is still a year old, but as soon as time comes I will let her attend the Hobby Horse school!
Thank you all you are amazing people!”

“We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Wishing Well! Our son truly loved coming to the school! he’s learned and grown so much in such a short time. A huge thank you to the director, Elaine, for creating such a nurturing environment, and to his amazing teachers, Ms. Powell and Ms. Istanbouli, who have been truly wonderful. Their care, patience, and dedication made all the difference. We’re so grateful!”

“The staff is so very kind and attentive to the kids! They are very good at notifying/reminding the parents of upcoming events, making sure the parents receive pictures throughout the day of their children and even host some holiday events for the families. Would definitely recommend this daycare to anyone looking!”

“As a parent, nothing is more important than knowing your child is safe, loved, and growing every day—and that’s exactly what we’ve found at KinderCare. The care, attention, and dedication the staff puts into creating a nurturing environment is truly something special. Our daughter absolutely loves going each day, and that’s largely thanks to the incredible teachers she’s surrounded by.

? Ms. Kailey – Her energy and patience are unmatched. She has a natural way of connecting with the kids and making learning fun. Whether it’s a creative craft or a fun activity.

? Ms. Desi – We are so grateful for the warmth Ms. Desi brings each day. Her calm and caring demeanor gives our daughter such a strong sense of belonging in her room.

? Ms. Elaine – Ms. Elaine is simply a gem. She has a magical way of making everyone feel special. We are thankful for the kindness she brings to every interaction.

We are so thankful to have found a center where our child is not only cared for, but truly seen and celebrated. Thank you to the entire KinderCare team for helping our daughter thrive.”

“Enrolling my son at The Goddard School has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made as a parent. From day one, the entire staff has gone above and beyond to create a warm, nurturing, and stimulating environment. Their passion for early childhood development truly shines through in everything they do.

Over the past year, my son has grown in so many ways — academically, socially, and emotionally. He’s become more confident, curious, and excited about learning, and I give full credit to the incredible teachers and staff who pour their hearts into every child. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to keep children engaged while also fostering creativity, independence, and kindness.

The Goddard School feels like a second home to him — so much so that he’s genuinely sad he can’t be there all the time! That speaks volumes about the love and care he receives every day.

If you’re looking for a school where your child will be celebrated, encouraged, and supported every step of the way, I can’t recommend The Goddard School enough. It’s more than just a school — it’s a family.”

“We could not be more happy with our decision to send our daughter to the Co-Op. The classes are small, and the teachers are absolutely phenomenal. They truly care about these kids. As parents, you have a unique advantage of being as involved as you'd like to be in the activities and committee ongoings. If you're looking for the perfect preschool, this is it.”

“The team work is crazy here! Such a clean, and welcoming environment! We treat the kids as our own! We strive to have each child succeed in their own ways! What an amazing daycare, everyone including the children feel so loved! The communication is absolutely wonderful! Would recommend to anyone!”

“The enrollment and orientation process at The Goddard School in Medina was a breeze! The staff was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. After just one week, it's clear that our child is thriving in their supportive and engaging environment. The daily communication with photos and updates on learning standards is a huge plus for us as parents. We're so happy with our decision to choose Goddard!- The Travers Family”

“Kids First is an asset to the OF community. While facilities are older, the staff and general morale are wonderful. The staff are kind, attentive, and approachable. Childcare is hard and under appreciated, despite this the staff work hard to make every child feel seen and loved. Our experiences with Amy, Jayden, and Shelby have been great. Our son has learned so much academically and socially. Communication from Kids First is clear and consistent. I love the Procare app they use to share photos, meals, and bathroom break throughout the day. We are looking forward to continuing through their daycare and preschool in the coming years.”

“We cannot say enough great things about Primrose. From day one, we have always felt that our children are truly safe, loved, and cared for. The teachers and staff are incredibly accessible and welcoming, you are always greeted with a warm hello, and it is clear how much they genuinely care about each child.

Communication has been excellent, and there is a wonderful sense of consistency. The staff truly knows our children, and any concerns we have ever had have been addressed immediately and thoughtfully. Dropping our kids off each day gives us complete peace of mind, which is priceless as parents.

Our son has been attending for over three years, and our infant has been there since birth (now 8 months old). We have watched both of our children grow, learn, and build strong relationships with their teachers, and it means everything to us.

We truly feel blessed every day to have such wonderful care for our children and would recommend Primrose to anyone looking for a nurturing, supportive environment.”

“Wow what a great place. My husband and I tried it out at the end of the 2024 school season and it was wonderful. The food was great...the staff and service just as great. I had a filet, mixed potatoes and broccolini and my husband had the burger and fries. And we had a delicious cream puff for dessert. My husband and I are looking to go again this school season as well. I also want to have a girls lunch there with my neighbors. Its a great learning experience for these future chefs.”

“Meec is absolutely the best. my daughter attended the speech summer camp and the staff is absolutely the best. they take pride in there work and are amazing with the kids. the speech therapist would let me know what they did for the day and how my daughter did. the teachers are wonderful. everyday they give you a daily report what they did for the day and how the kids did for the day. All the teachers are wonderful meec is absolutely the best.”

“I live at the Senior apartments directly across from the daycare! I enjoy watching these children everyday along with their Teachers! Well today, I received a stack of holiday colorings from my "little neighbors ". The delight was overwhelming, still crying over the gracious gift.. I could have ever received. They all know me, as the highlight of my day is watching them play and hearing their joy and screams too! ? And all the waves I get! This school is a blessing as I see how delighted the kids are to be there...they run in from the cars! So thank you for making my day! Much love to all ”

“There isn't enough words to describe how incredible this business is. My daughter who is now 7 has been going to PLL since she was 2 years old. I cannot give enough credit to the wonderful owners and teachers who have helped her grow and develop over the years. The curriculum is top notch. I cannot recommend PLL enough!”

“This is a very clean and well run facility. The kids always seem to be engaged in fun activities. The ratio of children to teachers is also very good. I highly recommend it!!!”

“5 stars so it can be seen.My daughter has only been enrolled for 3 months and in those 3 months she's been getting hit by her classmates on an almost daily basis. She was kicked in the mouth by another student and then the very next day scratched so hard in the face that it left a mark, by the same student. The teachers write incident reports when it happens, but don't bother to call the parent because the injuries aren't "serious enough". I had initially received a discounted price because I couldn't afford the care and I qualified for it, but they have taken that away because my child is 3 and not 4 (which they knew about when I was applying). This has been my experience with this Center I hope it helps.”

“It was just a little confusing where we were going exactly & my husband works for the BCSD ! But we got to where we needed to go . Carol Mansell was great on helping us get me on my husband's insurance because as of the end of April I will not have any & I need it for my Medical issues . my job where I was just up & closed the doors & company no warning no nothing Worked on Monday & on Monday (4-10-2023) at 9:45pm I received a EMail that said I & all other employees were out of a job ! Carol was so great & made my getting on the Insurance fast & easy as well !”

“I have experienced quite a few daycares with both my kids but this one is by far the most compassionate, caring, knowledgeable, and fun i have seen. The staff is phenomenal and the changes that have been made recently have upped the experience by even far more than my expectations. I am beyond thankful for everything they do for my son.”

“I’ve had three kids attend SK and they are like family. Everyone is friendly and engaging with your kids, making them all feel special. The teachers are great and it is a cozy environment like you are at home.”

“Amazing food - beautiful atmosphere- amazing people.
I did a pick up order via their online system. It was super easy and they had everything ready for me when I arrived.
Students were all working hard and everyone was extremely friendly!
I cannot wait to have a dine in experience at the Center Cafe! PS/ I ordered the salad and I’m glad I snagged a pic because it was so delicious!!”
