Mt Joy, PA
My daughters transition into the duck classroom has been fantastic. The duck room teachers have given my daughter an extraordinary educational experience but most importantly have a very caring environment. I am so beyond happy with the transition to this center and with the classroom.

The culture, environment, people, and curriculum is second to none. Very great staff members from the top down regarding patience with the kids. Everyone truly wants to see the kids develop and grow each and every day. Best choice we’ve made regarding childcare.

Many opportunities for play and learning. My son loves going to 'school'. I feel comfortable that he is safe and cared for. I love the new app they started using to communicate information about my son's day.

The teachers in the infant classroom are amazing. They significantly lessen the mom- guilt I have for leaving my kiddos at daycare. My daughter gets excited to see them in the morning and that makes me so happy.

The low turnover, variety of activities offered, and flexibility in scheduling care e.g. before/after school care and full-day kindergarten. Everyone at the center seems engaged and invested in the kids.

I love the teachers! Every teacher in the center knows my child, which creates a warm, intimate environment. I love the programming. All children are involved in age-appropriate, interactive activities that vary throughout the day and week. I love the space, the rooms are clean, bright, and inviting. The playgrounds have lots of toys and equipment. The imagination room is amazing! My daughter always asks to go there. I love how caring and responsive everyone is, staff, teachers, directors.
