We love the art, STEM curriculum and most of all how much the girls love going to school every day. We trust the Center and staff to keep our kids safe and learning and very happy with helping us transition to all the infant and toddler firsts.
— Elizabeth H.
We have been consistently impressed with the variety of activities that help engage the kids, build new skills and master movements or language. The meals help them explore food items we may not have often at home — being around other kids makes new food seem less scary.
— Leah W.
One thing we love about CKA is how everyone knows our child - not just the teachers in his room, but when we're walking out of the building at pickup time, any staff member who passes us in the hall says hi to him by name. It makes us feel like he's part of a community and that the staff really know him and care about him.
