Parent Testimonials: The Child Day Schools
My daughter attended the school for over two years, first beginning in the young preschool, then moving on to the preschool and finally into the pre-kindergarten class. We have nothing but positive things to say about our experience.
My daughter has some speech issues that make it difficult for both adults and peers to understand her. I was concerned about how she would do in a mainstream preschool environment as she was used to special ed classrooms. She ended up thriving here because the teachers were aware of her issues and were very patient with her and the behavior issues that often arose because of her frustration at not being understood.
The staff really cares about the kids. Their consistent, patient and gentle approach with the kids is really wonderful and I know my daughter responded very well to it. She loved her teachers and the rest of the staff very much as did I!
Academically, I loved their learner centered approach. This was very similar to my daughter's previous school and falls in line with our family's preferred learning style, so it was like a match made in heaven. I'd highly recommend TCDS to any family looking for a high quality preschool for their kids.

My son attended the Child Day Schools for a little over a year.... Here's the thing... He has TYPE 1 DIABETES so my of course my concerns where reallllllllly high. THE CHILD DAY SCHOOLS did EVERYTHING they needed to do to make sure my son was well taken care of. The staff were really understanding with his medical needs and went the extra mile to accommodate his daily routine with feedings/snacks and administration of medications. He loved the Child Day Schools and never wanted to leave to go home!!!
---------------------------------
My kids have been going here for almost 2 years now and they absolutely love it. They have improved socially and academically. I recommend them to anyone with kids.
---------------------------------
My child has been in the after school program for about two years. She loves it. The staff are very caring and experienced. The atmosphere is very comfortable. Staff is very friendly and wonderful with the kids.
---------------------------------
I have had two of my children attend The Child Day Schools and I have to say that I wouldn't send them anywhere else. Their preschool program is top notch and it is very clear that the entire staff loves the kids. Every child there knows that they are important and they are loved. They have a strong focus on social interactions and teaching the children how to interact with each other in appropriate ways and how to resolve their conflicts when they occur. I feel very lucky to have found this preschool and to have had the opportunity to have my children be involved in such a quality program.
