What parents say

This is the most amazing daycare on the planet!! Our one-year-old daughter is SO loved at this center!! We've experienced three other daycares between our son and daughter (Goddard, Balanced Family, Bright Horizons), and this place is hands-down the best. The teachers genuinely care, go above and beyond, and most have been there 10+ years. Ashley, Vjosa and Nita are truly wonderful teachers and people! I use to feel…

I'll second Phil's review of Kare-A-Lot. Our son is 11-months old and his face glows when we walk in the door every morning. He's always very happy to see his teachers and his friends. We could not recommend Kare-A-Lot enough.

We love dropping off our little girl here. She’s runs up to her caregivers and hugs them. Neta and Vjosa, her teachers, have become very close with our Phoebe! Would highly recommend.
