What parents say

My son (now in K-prep) has been here since he was a baby; my daughter now 4 months is in the infant room and will stay at Gorse til she's off to school in 4-5 years. I love this place so much, and so do my kiddos. I know almost all the teachers, and every one of them is special and wonderful. The regular updates sent via the app throughout the day are terrific. I sent my son back, and enrolled my baby daughter into…

Gorse is the only center where I would feel comfortable sending my children (infant and K-prep), especially during the pandemic. The center is extremely well organized and run, the teachers are caring and plan fun, age-appropriate learning activities for the children, they have many amazing outdoor spaces with different playgrounds and bikes, and most importantly, my kids LOVE going there everyday!

Our little one has been going to Gorse for over one year, since the age of three months, and we couldn't be more pleased. The environment is soothing, the staff are friendly, respectful, and responsive, and the activities are thoughtful. We call it 'school' because it feels like a truly enriching place for him to learn intellectually and socially and be well cared for. Highly recommended.

The Gorse Children's Center has been a fantastic experience for our 4 year old. He enjoyed every day he was there and learned a lot while playing. The Covid-19 precautions were exceptional and made us feel very safe enrolling him. I'd highly recommend it for any parent.
