6/2/2026Ms. Harris and Ms. Powell have been outstanding teachers. Ms. Harris does an amazing job with the kids. She connects with every kid in special ways and holds high standards for them while giving them so much love. I love hearing the stories she shares about the kids and the passion she carries in her teaching. She was one of the reasons I chose Childcare Network. We toured many schools but as soon as my son met Ms. Harris, his little face lit up. Ms. Powell also does an amazing job and I love her social emotional skills teachings so the kids learn to regulate their emotions and be open to expressing their emotions in a healthy way. She is so loving and always ready to listen to the kids and help them navigate tough situations. My son loves both of them so much and has learned and developed so much under their wing. I will forever be grateful for all their love and care for my son and they will always hold a special place in our hearts as our favorite teachers :).

5/28/2026Seeing teachers making sure their classrooms have the required trash bags, taking out trash missed by other teachers and politely discussing about that really stood out The teachers and entire staff are amazing. Welcoming, polite and ready to assist. Learning curriculum is topnotch. My child improved significantly throughout the school year. The practice exercises was also great, my child now know our home address and phone number thanks to the teachers

4/28/2026We truly love this school, and our son does as well. He has been enrolled since he was an infant and is now 3 years old. The school provides a loving and supportive learning environment where children feel safe, valued and encouraged to grow. Ms. Towana, the Assistant Director and our son's infant teacher, has always been incredibly sweet and patient. Under the caring leadership of the Director, Ms. Angela, our son has become so comfortable and happy that she even got him to smile for his school pictures for the first time in three years.
