This place is AMAZING. Their prices are listed on the website fyi…read more I honestly can not find fault with them. They have top notch security, they are located in a isolated location so that part is great. They offer OUTSIDE time every day for the kids. Each room has its own backyard. They have a lot of art supplies and toys. The facilities are spotless and this place NEVER smells like poop, unlike some places i visited. The quality of care i get is like from extended family. I honestly feel that they LOVE my children. I used extra student loans in order to afford this daycare, and honestly it was worth it, my children flourished there and i could never put a price on that. *i do wish it was cheaper though, i have to pull my kids out when school is not in session because of cost*

All the teachers are so nice and the whole place is very homey. The pre-K room is so big and bright with plenty of natural light and a really cool loft/play fort. My daughter is free to express herself and be creative and learn how to get along with others. She is really blossoming since we started here. They are only closed a few days a year which is great. The prices are very reasonable and the location is convenient - it's nice to stop down port for dinner on the way home. Highly recommend!

There is no other word that more accurately describes this daycare than "homey". The staff is extremely attentive to my daughter, always polite, friendly, welcoming and makes learning so much fun!

Habor View facility was recently renovated and even has all new toys, materials, books, etc. They offer competitive prices and a flexible schedule to meet each parents' needs.

This school has been amazing for our family. One thing for everyone to note: although this school…read moreis located next to a church the school is not a religious school so it is open to all families of all religious backgrounds. I wanted my son to complete his first year before writing my review to see how the full school year went. This school has been great for us in so many ways. Our son who is now just over 2 has completed his first Stepping Stones year. His two teachers Ms. Celina and Ms. Lisa treat our son and his classmates as if they were their own children. The kids get a lot of care and attention. The classroom environment is a very positive and well organized one. Our son loves going there every single day, which makes life easier for us parents knowing our kid loves it there and is in great hands. The other families who attend there have been very welcoming and friendly. Within just 1 year we have become friends with many of the parents at the school and love hanging out with them outside of school. The staff really goes above and beyond for the children and parents. Whenever we visit the school, everyone's always in a great mood. If you're looking for a school where your kids won't get lost in the mix this is a perfect school. The school is also very safe - everyone there takes school safety very seriously which is so important these days. They even has a summer program for the children which is great. The school and parents do an awesome job with the events they organize for the students and parents. I've had the pleasure to get to know the Head of School, Meg Sheehan. She really cares about the students and the families that attend. She's very easy to talk to and is willing to do whatever it takes to guarantee the children and parents have an amazing experience there. All in all, great experience. We're looking forward to our son's next year at this school. Thank you so much NSMS for going above and beyond for us and everyone who attends your school.

At 2.5 he grabbed a paper towel and cleaned up a spill at home! This was something they taught at school. As a parent I love how I can be involved and I gained many like-minded friends because it is a tight knit community of families who believe early education is a top priority .

My son got hurt multiple times here and saw the EMT. No one ever notified me both times this happened. The final straw was him hitting the back of his head on the pavement and having a lump, he complained of a headache and thats when I found out they were playing sharks and minnows on the pavement! No super vision, counselors are on their phones most of the time, they barely check IDs at pickup. When I tried to withdraw him they decided he was no longer a fit. When Amy refused to give me a refund for the weeks we were not going to be coming any longer I asked to speak to the owner, after refusing to call him several times she finally decided to call him and said to me "you know what your a real pain." Apparently their policy states absolutely no refunds even when your child is in danger. Do yourself a favor and look somewhere else!
