Parents Testimonials
I love Emerson. My son attended for all 5 years (he’s in Kinder now) and now my daughter is there (just turned 1). The staff cares about the kids, educates them, and prepares them for the transition to elementary school. The kids love the animals, love the playground. And the amount of time the kids play outside make me very happy – I know some other schools limit the play time in favor of more schoolwork, but I think allowing the kids to get their energy out enhances their ability to learn when they are inside. I wouldn’t have my kids at any other daycare! My only complaint would be that they do not provide lunch, but they do work with an outside food vendor if you wish to order hot lunches for your child.
My son is 2 years old and has been attending since he was 11 months old. He LOVES it. The staff is great! The curriculum is great! The children are loved, individuality is encouraged – and each child is helped along through their milestones. The parents are also friendly and get to know each other for play dates. I originally had my son at a commercial daycare where he cried everyday. I took him out after 3 days and placed him at Emerson. On the first day I picked him up from Emerson he was smiling and happy. He has loved it since. In fact, sometimes he doesn’t want to come home. I highly recommend it.
