CLOUDS OF JOY PRESCHOOL & LEARNING CENTER REVIEWS

We are so glad that we found Clouds of Joy. After extensively researching a number of daycare/childcare facilities in the general area, we ended up choosing COJ because we felt like it was an extension of our home. The staff there are very welcoming, friendly and have really taken care of our daughter over the last couple of years. We have seen significant improvements with her both cognitively and developmentally. It was extremely important for us to find a childcare provider we could trust, and we found that and more at COJ. We highly recommend anyone looking for high quality childcare to check them out.

Great daycare and workplace! I’ve had the pleasure of being a part of Clouds Of Joy for about 2 years now! One because all three of my kiddos have attended and two, I’m now an assistant teacher. Clouds of Joy really does have some of the best people I know!.

My daughter had such a good experience at COJ. It felt like family- the staff does really care! She learned so much before kindergarten. Couldn’t recommend enough. Thank you COJ!.

LITTLE LANE PRESCHOOL AND DAYCARE REVIEWS

We love everything about Little Lane. Our 1 year old has only been there since December and he’s excelled in so many ways. My favorite thing about Little Lane is that I can leave him there without any worries. It’s clearly evident how much kindness they show to each child and their parents. They put the “care” in childcare and that’s the most comforting assurance. These ladies are excellent at their jobs and it shows.

This daycare has been with us since my son was 6 weeks old and they have been absolutely amazing! The staff cares so much and makes our son feel special when he is there. He’s learning so much that we are still so surprised how much he has picked up with all the songs, words, and sign language. They have always had great communication with myself and my husband and we are so happy to have had the opportunity to be a part of their daycare family. We can’t wait for our baby girl to join in on the daycare fun as well once she is old enough.

Little Lane is one of the best daycares in our community. We have gone through a few due to others’ closures and could not be happier. The staff genuinely care for our child and are so attentive to his needs. They are the best communicators. We love and appreciate seeing updates throughout the day on how his day is going. We highly recommend Little Lane for your child care needs.

CENTRAL CHILD CARE REVIEWS

We absolutely love Central Child Care! Our daughter has attended since she was an infant. She has ALWAYS been safe, educated and loved. Every teacher has been amazing and has challenged her to learn more. The facility is wonderful and truly focused on giving the children the best experience possible. Now that she is almost five, we will certainly miss all the teachers and wonderful staff.

We love this school. So many of the staff are amazing. Both my children were more than ready for kindergarten. They enjoyed their time there. The staff do a lot of activities and special things each week. The kids really get a great experience.

Wonderful place for children and families!!! Both of my children went here and thrived on so many levels! They were always safe and loved!.
