I'm a big proponent in my life if "you get what you pay for". Here we are making a decision for our children, something that we made ourselves that could really help or hinder their development and I just don't see how anyone makes another choice. Our son has been at the Nest since he was less than a year old and from the first few days we saw a huge jump in his abilities to do just about anything! The curriculum is awesome and it's great that there is one in place and it all but guarantees development for your little one. The meal menus are fantastic making sure they hit all the food groups and it helps busy parents mentally to not feel bad that they may get their favorite Mac and cheese dinner more than once a week lol. The staff here is fantastic! Through every class room change each person has been there to help calm the drop off storms that ensue with every child to help make it easier on us and then the bond building begins. This staff from the director all the way to the chef truly care about your children and it shows. This place is great and I wouldn't even think of not telling people about our experience here!

The constant communication. At any time I can call to check on my child and get quick response. I also love the constant updates through the Procare app.

Every teacher knows my child by name, and there is a genuine interest in their growth and well-being. My child loves going to school.

We love the teachers at the nest! Deanna and the staff have been amazing and we believe they work hard to make a fun and safe environment for our daughter. She learns so much there, and we love discovering all the little things she picks up there from her lessons. That all being said, the shake up a couple weeks ago when corporate stepped in was not a great experience, and we considered leaving because of the way corporate handled it. We were very relieved when we received the message that Deanna and team would be back. Please keep this local team in place and support your teachers and staff. We know that turnover is unavoidable, but actively pushing great people out will only cause more and more turnover to the detriment of the kids, faculty, and our families.

The Nest has been an incredible experience for our daughter, and she absolutely loves going to school! We've seen such amazing growth in her learning, and the communication with the teachers has been nothing short of wonderful. It gives us such peace of mind knowing she is in a safe and nurturing environment where she can thrive. We couldn’t be happier with the care and support she receives!

My wife and I have greatly enjoyed the Nest. Our son has done very well, he’s learned a lot, and really enjoys going each day of the week. The staff does a great job caring for him. He’s learned sign language and is even starting to speak with new words daily! He will be 16 months this week.

We love The Nest. After only being there a few weeks, our son is already so in love with his class and his teachers. He is comfortable and feels safe! I know I am leaving him in good hands when I drop him off, and that he is going to have a great day filled with so many fun activities, and that he is going to learn so many fun new things. He is constantly telling me something new!

The staff at The Nest is fantastic! Our son gets plenty of love and attention and enjoys playing with everyone. We get updates throughout the day on when he sleeps, eats, and gets his diaper changed. In addition, we receive photos of him trying new activities and playing. My wife and I are very grateful to have found a place at The Nest for our little man!

This is our first daycare experience and as a nervous first time mom with an infant, the nest has been great about fit for us. Our son has a great connection with his teachers and has lots of smiles for everyone he sees.
