What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
I’ve had multiple children cared for at ACR. The interior is regularly updated, it’s kept clean, the staff and teachers are warm and friendly, there’s no drama, the owners are dedicated, the communications are clear and regular, the cost is very reasonable. I’m very happy I found this local gem.
Our boys attend ACR and they both love it. From teachers to staff members, everyone is friendly and helpful. We have also seen really low turnover rate here at ACR, and we are so happy to see the consistency that our kids have at school. Our older son is going to kindergarten this fall, and ACR has well prepared him for the next adventure.
We have only been at ACR for a few months but are loving it so far! ACR has lower ratios than most other daycares in the area which really allows the kids to thrive with the amazing teachers. We love the bilingual program and our girls are so loved and well taken care of.
We sent our son to ACR from the age 18 months old and now he is just about to start kindergarten. This has been an incredible school for him. The teachers every single year have cared for and educated him better than we could have ever asked for. He has made friendships with the kids in his class from over the years that are his best friends. We had toured all of the schools in the area before choosing ACR, and we have nothing but great things to say about the school. He is ready and excited to start kindergarten, and they've provided all of the tools he needs to be both a good student and a good person.
Our son is in the school age aftercare program and we’ve really loved the team here. Everyone is so kind, welcoming and supportive. They pick up from school and the kids get a snack, some centers time with games, art or building things, then they go outside to play. He’s also done the summer camp and really likes it - field trips, fun splash time, games and theme weeks. My son loves it and we are very happy with Ms Isabel (very communicative and understanding!), Ms Laura and Ms Marisel. The best!
