The teachers are warm and loving while they guide the children toward academic and social growth. The field trips and in-class guests enhance the educational experience and gymnasium is a HUGE asset in wet or snowy/cold weather, since gross motor development is so important at the preschool age. I would higly recommend this preschool to anyone who is looking for a top of the line educational experience for their child.

If your child has any type of delay please do not have them attend this daycare for they are not patient or even caring enough to work with you and your child to try and better them to succeed. They refused to help my child with his speech delay and they do not help potty train and if you are a single mom like me working a lot then that is key. This play is constantly getting new workers, my son had a different teacher aid in his classroom every three months. The owner dared to ask me for a note from my sons doctor so he could move into the preschool room after I just explained to her that my son is in speech therapy. This place isn't even worth the one star I'm giving them. THE WORST DAYCARE IN THE AREA!

On our first trip to the Sanctuary, we ended up doing the trail to Hanging Rock. Because of my height, there are portions where I had to crouch from one rock surface to get to another stable flat area to get my footing. My husband, who is taller than me by a lot, was more easily able to traverse the various rock heights. So what I'm saying is - Shorties, be careful out here!!

It was a nice weekday, not too cold, a little windy, and sunny. The entrance fee is not too bad for what you get (especially student price) and you can spent all the time you want on the trails. There are binoculars you can use or you can bring your own (not sure if theirs come with a rental fee). They have a lot of trails and a map to help you navigate the space--although I would recommend asking questions at the front desk and paying close attention to when they explain the map since it is not drawn to scale. I do wish they had more color markers along the way to help with knowing what each trail is. We did think we'd get lost at first, but we found our way around quite well and the explanation from the staff starts to all make sense once you're walking. The paths are well maintained and there are slightly elevated wooden bridges for areas that are muddier. I would recommend hiking shoes or boots, mostly for one of the trails with a tougher terrain. There are tons of picture worthy moments, although pictures don't do it justice. Although I did not see too many "unique" birds, we did come across other animals like deer and turkey. We spent a little over 2 hours here and got through about half of the place so if you do want to take it all in, I would recommend a 4-5 hour chunk of time (if you're in no rush).
