This is my last baby, and I thought the first one was tough. It was difficult to let him go. Leaving your little one is hard, leaving someone else in charge of them is harder. I have to say that Creative Castle has been wonderful! The teachers are so caring and truly interested in each child as an individual. The classes are well organized. Always learning, while having fun. They have an outdoor play area, an indoor tumbling room. Which I might add comes complete with a certified gymnastics teacher! The indoor play area has a large train table and a castle of course. They call it Castle Time. The children are given free range of the dress-up clothes and of course the castle! My four year old has learned so much in such a short amount of time. He can write his name, sing songs and much more. I am very pleased with the faculty here and the care they give my little one.

Thank you, thank you! We are so grateful we found BSP in 2021 as visiting other places left us uneasy. However, walking into BSP and meeting Ms Carmela and the other amazing teachers, left us with a sense of relief. Then when our kids started, the teachers kindness/support towards all the children and staff's great communication with parents only reinforced our decision. Both our kids graduated from BSP! Our most recent just this last Fall. Our kids loved their teachers and friends. It's like a little family that was created with the kids and parents. My husband and I are so grateful to all the teachers and staff! Thank you for academically preparing our kids! Thank you for your kindness and respect.

My daughter attends daycare here and I wanted to share what a special and unique person her teacher…read moreis. She is simply amazing. The kids in her class absolutely love her and she is always working with them and helping them learn and grow. It is clear that this is not just a job to her. She truly cares. My daughter has had some challenges and her teacher has done so much to help her. In addition to the feedback and pictures we get on the Life Cubby app, she always gives us verbal updates whenever we see her and coordinates our daughter's needs with us. She is so caring and loving towards the kids and treats them like her own children. We noticed the positive changes in our daughter quickly when she started in this teacher's class and it was amazing to see how she blossomed. The feeling of knowing your child is with someone who truly cares and nurtures their growth is so comforting. My husband and I both work full time and we have 3 kids. To be able to leave our daughter in the care of someone that genuinely feels like a family member is priceless to us. We know our daughter is happy and comfortable when we leave because she loves her teacher and her teacher loves her. I also wanted to mention that the other teachers and staff as well as the Executive Director, are wonderful as well. The center is so well-organized and there is consistent communication with parents. Everyone is always so pleasant and helpful whenever we come in to drop off or pick up and even though I know your waitlists are full, I continue to recommend others to this daycare center because I truly believe it is the best. The Executive Director is usually at the front desk when I come in and even though it is busy, she always pleasantly greets us and makes us feel welcome or takes the time to answer questions we have. Despite the phone ringing, other parents coming and going, and other business to attend to, she always makes you feel like your concerns are important and that she can help. I

It's a great school all around!

My child has been at Wirtzies since he was 6 months old and he's currently a little over 2 years…read moreold. This means I have now experienced childcare in 3 different rooms at this center and at different stages of my child's development. I chose Wirtzies because when we walked the center the assistant director at the time acknowledged children with their names as we walked through. She showed that the staff there would care about my child and treat them like a little human and not just a child. My gut felt that this would be a good place. They offer an inner generational program where the children have time with the elderly adults in their day program. This also was something that was of interest to me. My gut was right. They care about my child. My child has learned so much from them that he wouldn't learn at home. I get pictures and updates from them regularly. There have been incidents where he is hurt or hurts someone else. But you would be hard pressed to find a parent who watches their own child and never gets hurts. You can't watch your child 24 hours a day and neither can they with a state ratio of 5 to 1. They have addressed each incident appropriately. They care about my child and that is worth anything I need to pay them but they are affordable. I know they also offer state subsidized care if needed. My child is happy there. He loves his friends and his teachers. He even loves the ladies at the front desk.

Update! It's been a few months now and my daughter has excelled beyond my expectations. She speaks…read moreso much now! She learned how to express her feelings by communication better. Knows how to follow directions at home. I now love watching her sing and dance by herself. She is excited to go to school in the mornings and gets sad on days she doesn't have school. Andrea and Vanessa have made my daughter feel safe and comfortable. Outstanding teachers/caregivers are very rare. Hats off to Andrea! She just knows what my daughter needs (as if she has known her longer than a few months!) Vanessa with her kind smile, is there to help my daughter feel secure that she can wear her backpack till she's ready to take it off. Seriously, the teamwork that has been developed in this class is what any parent would hope for. To all the other ladies as well, I just wanted to give a huge thank you for guiding my daughter in this class! I am forever grateful! I drive away every morning knowing my daughter is in excellent hands!

I've had two children attend this center (at different times since March 2023), and I can honestly…read moresay it has been one of the best decisions I've ever made for our family. From the very beginning, the teachers and staff have gone above and beyond--not just to "watch" the kids, but to truly teach, nurture, and connect with them. The growth I've seen in my children has been incredible. My oldest has graduated out but my youngest comes home excited, confident, and full of new things he's learned. What stands out most to me is how intentional the focus is on true development and connection. They don't teach just about letters, numbers, or milestones--they help each child grow into themselves with kindness, curiosity, and confidence. As a parent, specifically a single parent, I'm especially grateful for how seamlessly their approach aligns with the way I raise my children at home. The parallels between their teaching style and my parenting make it easy for my kids to absorb and retain what they're learning, which has made a huge difference in their growth. It's rare to find a place where you feel your children are not only safe, but also understood, supported, and genuinely loved. That's exactly what this center has given us. I can't recommend them highly enough!
