My son has a July birthday, so I chose New Bridge's 5 star preschool program to ensure he would be…read moreready for kindergarten. He went both part time and full-time and the curriculum was wonderful!! We were invited back to celebrate his teacher's retirement, and I put my 2 girls on the waiting list. Now, I am excited to send my girls to such a warm, nurturing environment. You get what you pay for - educated, experienced teachers and a wonderful facility. My son, but the way is now excelling at Mountain Island Charter in the AIG program. Thank you, Newbridge!

My second child is now attending Newbridge and we have always loved it. I always feel - honestly -…read morethat they have my child's best interests at heart. After attending their 5 year old program, our daughter skipped Kindergarten and is excelling in 1st grade. All of the teachers seem to truly love the children and I feel completely at ease when I drop off my 12 month old. The price is one of the highest in the area and is the ONLY reason I don't rate them with 5 stars, but after considering the piece of mind I have there, I couldn't see us anywhere else.

We switched our 1.5 year old here from a different daycare that we were at for a year. After a…read morelittle over a month at dogwood, I'm impressed! They exceeded all expectations, and I am realizing what childcare SHOULD be like compared to the old daycare. Dogwood excels in the following areas that I find important: Communication: The staff is prompt to communicate on all platforms, through the app, email, and phone. Food: they send out the weekly meal plan, and it's always healthy and nutritious food that my son loves. He's a 99th percentile guy, and so he eats a lot and is never hungry when I pick him up (unlike our old daycare). He probably eats better than me most days here! Staff: I can't say enough great things about the management and teachers here. From the moment we walk in, there's a smiling face at the front desk available to help with anything we need. The teachers clearly love what they do, my son loves them so much. After a year of challenging drop off and pickups with tears at the old place, it's refreshing that there hasn't been a bad handoff since the 2nd week. He even tried to go back in after picking him up he likes it so much. Facility: it's a beautiful facility and CLEAN!! Ample parking, and well thought out. Photos: I have received photos every day, to me this is important as the old daycare I was lucky to get 1 photo a month. They even put little text with it sometimes. This makes going to work and leaving my son at school a lot easier. To summarize this very long review, Dogwood is excellent and my only regret is not coming here sooner. We do drive 10 minutes further because we feel the level of care our son receives is worth it.

Deceitful and dishonest enrollment process…read more My wife added our daughter's name to their waitlist in January. Never heard anything again until we decided to contact the daycare again in June. I called multiple times to figure what was going on and whether our daughter's name was still on the list. I kept being transferred from one person to the next and the call would always end up with someone promising to call back at a later date. Certainly, no one ever called us. Finally in July we got an email saying that our daughter's name had been taken off the waiting list, stating that we had decided for her not to attend (not the case at any point).
