“After sending both of my kids to Mrs Laureen to learn piano for one year, even myself as a mom that once knew nothing about music and piano benefits from observing the lessons while Mrs Laureen is teaching my kids. Now even as a parent, I understand the basics of the music theories and start playing piano using two hands! Miss Laureen is very knowledgeable on techniques and music theories! She is also very generous and she is such a sweet lady! She is willing to work with us to encourage my kids to continue their interest with music and she also seek out the best way to accommodate our family needs!”

“I cannot express enough how grateful I am for CKA. My child has thrived in CKA's environment. We were having issues with our previous daycare and needed to find a new place. The director and staff at CKA welcomed our family with open arms. They are accommodating to my child's needs and sincerely care about each child. Thinking back, I wish I enrolled my child at CKA sooner.”

“I can't say enough positive things about Everbrook! My daughter has been going there for almost a year now, and this is everything we were looking for in a daycare, and more. The staff and teachers are amazing, and the curriculum is designed to help kids grow and learn in a variety of different areas. Prior to enrolling her at Everbrook, I was worried that she was slightly behind in developmental milestones. In just a short amount of time she has advanced so quickly, and is now ahead in many areas. I love that there is a weekly lesson plan, but that they also understand that playtime and socialization are just as important at this age (my daughter is almost two). Another big plus is that they are constantly disinfecting and sanitizing, and because of that, my daughter has not caught any "spreadable" illnesses since starting; Whereas the last daycare she was sick around 4 times in a two month period. The curriculum, staff, cleanliness, safety measures and overall experience makes this the best center in the area, in my opinion.”

“We switched our 3 year old from a different center, and coming to NHA has been such an amazing night and day difference! It felt like such a welcoming home and community greeted with smiles and genuine hellos and goodbyes. The food served is well planned and thought out. The activities and projects are fun and engaging. My son immediately felt comfortable. Find ways to budget and attend NHA.”

“Two of my kids went this location is the best daycare and is family friendly can’t wait to take my youngest daughter this year I would never choose another place for my kids to be we went there for 4yrs”

“I have had my daughter in a few different daycares, all in a different city. I had heard about Primrose through other family and friends and decided to give it a shot! We enrolled her and she began learning faster than we could keep up. It was amazing how much she would tell me she did in a day during our 45 min car ride home. She would sing, and dance, and continued to tell us what she learned day to day.This year, she started into Kindergarten in our school district. In November, when they closed the schools due to COVID, she was expected to be full distance learning and complete numerous packets for her work. She began to "hate school" and didn't want to go to school, even though she stayed home.We heard there was an opening in the Private Kindergarten and without hesitation, dis-enrolled her from our local school and placed her back at Primrose. Within the week, she was back to loving school, singing and dancing. Nothing makes my heart melt more than her smiling and giggling as she tells me about her day and how much fun she had.If it wasn't for Primrose, I can't imagine where my little girl would be in the realm of her education as well as her mental health. Even though school is back in session and she would be welcome back in our towns school, we refuse to pull her from Primrose and will make the 45 minute one-way drive every day, as it is more than worth it for us and her.”

“We have been an All Stars family for the last 11 years, and there's a reason for that. The owners and staff provide the utmost respect and care for my two children, and treat all of us like we are part of the family. I love the summer program and all the field trips my children have been able to experience. The preschool program was wonderful for both of my kids as they were getting ready to head to kindergarten. And now that my oldest is getting close to the age of being able to work, she wants to work there because All Stars has made such an impact on her life. So thank you All Stars, you guys are the best!!!!”

“We went from a large franchise type of center with 15 kids in a class to American Montessori where there was 1 or 2 teachers with only a few kids and we immediately saw a change in behavior in our boys. We love Mrs Mariza! She was really good for our boys. We also feel that our boys got a great education as well. Our youngest son tested very high (almost a perfect sore) for his Kindergarten ready assessment. Highly recommend sending your children here.”

“I love tutor time! I always watch my baby girl on the live cam 24/7. They are great with her. She loves going to daycare and is always happy to be there. They are flexible, caring and clean. I highly recommend (I was surprised by its low rating when we interviewed places, but wasn't concerned after the tour/consult!) This place was the most flexible for 1x a week care and was the most affordable.”

“I am on my 2nd child through Westview. Both are high level learners and have had a great experience. They have an excellent enrichment and gifted/talented program. The kindergarten, first grade, and 2nd grade teachers have made my daughter (in 2nd grade) a sincere lover of learning. She wants to be a teacher when she grows up - just like them. Both of my older children have had Mrs. Lyrek and she is probably one of the best teachers I have ever seen teach. (I work in a school out of the district and have seen a lot of teachers). My daughter looks forward to going back to visit her teachers from 1st grade and kindergarten and gets the chance to read to the 1st graders once in a while. She is scoring above average on all state tests and my son, now in high school, continues to score at the 99th percentile on state tests. Mrs. Lyrek still asks about my son, although he had her 7 years ago and now towers over her. She is always highly invested in all her students and goes out of her way to make every student feel special. We have not had one issue with this school in 7 years. The teachers and community of parents are the best. We always feel welcomed and not judged. Everyone is an equal at Westview. They encourage friendships with everyone and my daughter demonstrates this by being excited to help others, to go on special breaks with students with special needs, and befriending students new to our country as well. We are proud to be bulldog strong.”
