The Roop family wants to give a big thank you to heartworks Williston! More specifically, Alyssa and Caila! My son has been going there since he was 12 weeks old and turns five tomorrow and I can say with my whole heart that there is no other place I trust my child to be more than Heartworks. The love, knowledge, patience, and heart that Caila and Alyssa bring each day is appreciated and such a comfort for a mother! Thank you for all that you do ladies ???

We love Heartworks Williston! Our child is always so excited to get into the classroom when we arrive. Her teacher Dana is professional, kind, and nurturing. I love to see the skills she learns up in school transfer to home!

Naomi and Kayleigh are so wonderful, Patient and kind with our little dude! He says Kayleigh’s name everyday until he sees her. Naomi has taught him so many words and sentences! We thought leaving STEAMWORKS would be very hard for us we do miss all of the teachers there however ALL of the teachers here at HeartWorks have made the transition smooth. Thank you to everyone for what you do for our kids!

We LOVE Ms. Sarah because she brings a calm energy. She could have tots crawling all over her yelling and jumping, but yet she’s calm as can be! I also am convinced she has eyes on the back of her head … she can be looking one way and know a toddler behind her is about to climb on the table. Before you know it she has scooped them up!We also LOVE Ms Maia. Every time I arrive at pick up she is on the floor with the toddlers. She is holding them, singing songs or helping them jump on big foam blocks. She clearly shows how much she loves the children. That makes us feel so good as parents to know our children are in loving hands.We also LOVE Ms Michelle because she always greets us with the biggest smile. She will chat for days even when she probably has a million things to do!

Taylor and Koran are such great teachers. They have a very creative way to teach my child new things. She comes home everyday with something new to share. They go above and beyond with academics. Even during breaks my child asks if its a school day. Also when it comes to the school they do really fun things with the kids, during st pattys day the whole school was decorated. They do dance parties and most importantly make us feel like we made the right choose in Childcare.

We cannot be happier to be part of the Hearworks community. My child really enjoys her time, she loves her teachers and always tell me she loves her daddy, mommy and her teachers at school. Thank you so much for taking care of all the children at this challenging time. We are truly grateful.

We first moved into the area in the spring and transferred to a new school. Our teacher Jon made this experience so easy. He was a steady calm presence for our son. It has been a comfort knowing our son has such a fun and caring place in his life.

Mollie is the most incredible, patient, loving, caring, angel of a woman! I don’t know what magic spell she cast but my son is absolutely in love with her. What more could you want in someone who looks after your child!?

We are extremely satisfied with our Heartworks Williston experience. Our daughter has had a wonderful year. We enrolled her mainly for social reasons. While she has exceeded our expectations surrounding that, we are also really happy about how much she has learned about the world. She comes home telling us all about our world and how to make it a better place…. Between becoming a loving human and caring about our planet, I’m a happy parent!

Our son has been going to Heartworks since 2020, and we could not be happier with the care and support he has received. The teachers and staff (I will specifically call out Kori, Willow, Molly and John) have been incredible. Our son cannot wait to go to school to see his friends, his teachers and to learn something new. All the early educators at Heartworks truly believe in the Hearworks’ mission to support every child's social, academic and emotional growth. It takes a village, and Heartworks is part of our village.

We absolutely love Heartworks! From the clean and organized facility to the incredible teachers-it's a must if you're in search of childcare. We have the utmost confidence and trust with the staff and the teaching style they implement. Super bonus is it's officially a S.E.E.D certified facility! We couldn't be happier utilizing their services and our kiddo LOVES going to school!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Heartworks and all of the amazing teachers! Sarah and Maia have been outstanding and continue to enrich the lives of so many children. My daughter comes home every day so excited to tell me about her day and all of the fun things she has done in Sarah and Maia’s class. Thank you for all that you do!

My family and I absolutely love Heartworks. The school is a warm, caring and loving environment. While there are individual classrooms, the community between the children and teachers is strong and focused developing a curiosity for life long learning as well as holistic social emotional skills. Maria Ropp is truly a very special and talented educator. My daughter is currently enrolled in her pre-kindergarten classroom and loves attending school each day. Maria creates a loving and safe classroom which has afforded our daughter opportunities to exercise new skills, increase her confidence and truly ignite her love for learning. The curriculum delivery is exceptional. The academic and social emotional topics being explored at a young age are impressive, sometimes I even have to Google some of the topics she is learning about. The daily focus on STEAM allows for the exposure of innovative and exciting topics- creating volcanos, exploring water erosion, mechanical engineering, etc. We appreciate the school’s dedication to daily communication and receiving updated photos of our daughter throughout the day.Michele Karode is an outstanding school director. Michele is personable, warm and very communicative. Her ability to navigate the challenges of Covid within a early educational setting was nothing short of amazing. Her dedication to the school, teacher, students and parents goes above and beyond. We are so grateful to everyone at Heartworks!

We have had such a great experience at Heartworks Williston where my toddler and preschool aged children have attended for years. Despite the challenges with recruitment and workforce shortages that have been so hard on daycares in the state of VT since the start of COVID-19, Heartworks has worked hard to retain the amazing teachers and staff who keep our kids happy, safe, and learning. Particular shoutout to toddler teachers Sarah and Maia, who have made my 2yo's absolute year with their warmth, enthusiasm, creativity, and unwavering patience. Also major thank you to teacher John who took over mid-year when another teacher had to take a leave of absence, and has stayed on to provide our kids with consistency, excitement, and structure during an otherwise wild year! We are so grateful for all that they do, particularly under the direction of Caila Benoit and Michele Karode who make the world go 'round!
