When I think of a child care facility, two types of places cross through my mind. A place or building that you drop your child off so you can go to work and then there is a place that feels like an extension of your home and your child is being cared for by what feels like friends and family. For my family, Duck Pond Learning Center has been such a wonderful place that has been an extension of our home. From Amy whom runs the center to all of the amazing teachers that have shown so much love and care for my son. Words truly cannot describe the thoughtfulness, peace of mind, and family-like connections that were built throughout my son’s time at Duck Pond. I will always have friends at Duck Pond and hope to keep my connection going even though my son started his next big adventure. I highly recommend Duck Pond Learning Center, Amy, and all the workers/teachers to any family looking for a place to take their children that is more than just a place to drop them off, but an extension of your family and home!

We have nothing but great things to say about Duck Pond and the teaching staff who work there. It has a family feel that many other places don't and we felt that all the teachers genuinely loved our son. Many thanks to everyone who made the transition to daycare an easy one and for the great care our son got during his time there.

Duck Pond was our first daycare experience (our son was exactly 1 year when he started) - and we absolutely loved it...cannot say enough great things!We were nervous about putting our kid in daycare during a pandemic, but the owner's genuine warmth made us feel like we were going to be ok. I could tell how much our son's teacher(s) actually cared for him and he came to us at the end of each day with a big smile on his face.We also saw our son progress quickly at home, and I truly think it was because he was learning essential skills (socializing/dancing/sharing) at daycare. We've since moved but will be back next summer and hope to come back to DPLC, if there's a spot open! Thank you to Amy and Heather and all the amazing teachers there! <3

Our son started at the Duck Pond Learning Center as a six month old baby while on a wait list for another daycare. We are so happy we ended up at Duck Pond. The teacher to child ratio is small enough to allow enough individual attention for the kids, and the teachers are incredibly nurturing and very experienced at approaching each child in the best way to fit their unique personality and learning style. We have grown very fond of Duck Pond and enjoy watching our now two year old toddler develop and thrive in the care of the dedicated and friendly team of teachers. The center is divided into five rooms by age with a semi-open floor plan that allows the children to interact with younger and older age groups during play time. We love this set up as it allows our boy to naturally flow into socializing with kids of different ages, and has allowed him to explore different toys and activities. The teachers are great at balancing play time with structured activities, and we definitely see results of that at home in how our boy is progressing in his skills. We are also grateful for how accommodating and understanding the owner, Amy, and all the ladies are. Whether it’s being mindful of our baby’s dietary needs, our own parental preferences, or adjusting to my and my husband’s schedule changes, we always feel heard and respected. This is a very caring and nurturing environment that allows the kids to not only learn but create friendships.

My wife and I are so excited to share a review about Duckpond learning center. There is so much to say, but what stands out to us is that Amy and staff ALWAYS go above and beyond in creating a nurturing, fun, safe, and loving environment. This atmosphere allows the little ones to feel at home, have a sense of belonging and just be themselves. A peace of mind, communication, healthy child development and a nurturing approach were our priority and to date I have no concerns in any of these areas. As a matter of fact, we actually received ongoing guidance, assistance, support, with potty training and eating habits. Another bonus about Duck Pond Learning Center it that it feels like family and the same faces have been with us on our journey since age 19 months to now age 3 and we appreciate everyone there so much.
