Our 6mo has been attending Dolphin Stars for a couple months and loves it! We get daily updates and photos on his activities and Tommy the director and the team are so knowledgeable about helping the littles grow and develop. They have been so patient and kind with my little guy and he is so happy to be there every day! Love the trips to the park and library during nice weather as well! Highly recommend!

We love dolphin stars! We love the focus on play based learning and the regular trips to the park and library are a plus. The teachers share frequent daily updates and photos and each day is full of fun and educational activities. Our son comes home from school every day happy and well fed. So happy we found dolphin stars!
