What parents say
We’ve been part of the Nest community for just over a year, and it’s been an incredible experience. As a first-time, very hands-on Dad , I value communication, safety, and being involved, and Nest has exceeded my expectations in every area. The teachers, staff, and leadership are caring, responsive, and genuinely invested in each child’s well-being. After experiencing another childcare center, I can confidently say…
Richard Mutts · 5/5 on Google · 2 months agoOur one year old son has been absolutely thriving at The Nest since he was 4 months old! He is so well cared for by all of his teachers and is so happy to “go to school” each day. His classroom is a beautiful environment with hands on learning and so many creative spaces for the children to explore. We are so happy to have chosen such a wonderful place for our little guy and have recommended the Nest to friends also.
Maureen Lyden-Ruhe · 5/5 on Google · 6 months agoWe joined the Nest School back in October, into one of the preschool (3) rooms, and have had a very positive experience since that time . Our son enjoys all of the structured activities and friendly and loving staff. There is outdoor play and well planned and thoughtful programs. He is learning something new every day. The facility itself is well maintained and clean! Seeing him happy speaks volumes to us!
Melanie B · 5/5 on Google · 7 months agoThe nest is such a wonderful daycare. Our child has been going there for a little under a year and he loves it. The teachers are friendly, kind and great at what they do. There is so much that they do with the kids including science, math, reading and so much more. My son’s speech has improved since taking him there and we really enjoy it. Highly recommend!!!
