Their interest in getting to know our entire family and the kindness they show our younger son (who will soon enroll at The Treehouse himself) is truly heartwarming. I cannot recommend The Treehouse enough to families who are looking for a welcoming community and play-based learning environment.

That said they are also reasonably priced. Since they are not a chain, it's very clear your tuition goes straight into the classroom for great teachers, activities and equipment. Our daughter attended here for 2 years. We are still in touch with them occasionally and go to their annual picnic because they were like a second family when we went there. I have 3 kids and have seen every type of daycare and preschool - Creative Sprouts is simply the best. The most impressive thing they taught my daughter was excellent social emotional skills. She was able to express her feelings, even in a conflict with her sister, from a very young age! Highly highly recommend.

We…read morelove that the school is doing their best to help build a parent community, the communication is excellent, and the teachers are SO caring. Other things we love: meal and snacks are prepared there and they use whatever is growing in the garden (and let families take the excess produce home too), many opportunities for parents and kids to get together during non school days, awesome child teacher ratio (smaller than state requirement), lots of outdoor play time (I love it and believe that's what kids need to thrive - be outside. I love seeing that my girl comes home with dirty clothes because of outdoor playing), loving teachers and staff who really take their time to understand the needs of your child and families. I can't say enough how much we love CS. My child doesn't want to go home everyday I go to pick her up. I think that says it all.

The school's approach to child-based learning was a wonderful introduction to the Montessori method, which has set our children up incredibly well for the rest of their education and life! The school's facility is large and open, with beautiful outdoor play spaces and lots of space in each of the classrooms. The teachers are highly qualified and especially caring. Every day our children spent at the school, we know was a day well spent where they learned many subjects, experimented, socialized with peers and were nurtured in a trusting and safe environment. The school's Director, Jayme, runs an amazing establishment and Montessori program. It was very comforting for us to see Jayme and the other teachers and staff everyday. They all knew our children, our family, and made the school a welcoming and inclusive place.

They have such an impressive array of outdoor/playground areas for the kids to enjoy in rain or shine. I could not imagine a more well run daycare!  They really know what they are doing!!! They were great at keeping up with latest Covid recommendations from the state for daycares and communicating the updates to everyone as clearly as possible. My friends with kids elsewhere would ask me about KCS Covid guidelines, and were always so impressed with how well KCS managed the craziness of the past couple years. I am sad that my eldest will be leaving KCS, but happy my youngest has another couple years.  Today was the last day of the school year, and my kids' teachers gave such touching cards and gifts to my kids for them to remember the year.  Thank you to everyone at KCS!  One of the best choices I ever made was deciding to send my kids here!

The staff at KCS was also a pleasure to deal with throughout our time at the school. Finally, I have to commend KCS on their handling of the difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. KCS was very conscientious in the application of health and safety precautions throughout this period, and the staff was very flexible as health guidelines continually changed. Overall, I couldn't recommend KCS more, and we will miss everyone there as our daughter moves on to first grade!

We ran to the dentist immediately hoping that they could fix the baby tooth back in place but unfortunately we have no choice but wait until the adult tooth comes in and that takes another 5-7 years. We parents send our kids to daycare entrusting the caretakers on safety and when they get hurt especially in cases of permanent damages its disheartening for parents to go thru such an incident and our loss is simply cannot be matched with whatever losses that the caretaker must or will incur. We visited her daycare post incident to retrospect on the situation. She showed complete lack of confidence to continue care for our son, recommended to pull our son out and would return our deposit. After few days she comes back saying its purely an accident and showed us a completely new attitude, which heavily shocked us as we have never seen that side of her. She was constantly talking about money, business and her losses. She doesn't realize that the losses that she must or will incur is merely nothing compared to what we have and are going thru in terms of pain and suffering. After a detailed analysis on the pre/post incident situations and her behavior, we simply think its purely due to her negligence and a bad judgment call that this permanent damage had happened. 1. The train table was not age appropriate 2. It lacked safety and had hard edges including objects with sharp edges on the table 3. She crowded the small area (basement) by placing it as an obstacle knowing clearly that he is a WADDLE+ER 4. The train table wasn't there when we first saw the facility as we would have completely advised against having it there (for example we mentioned about smoke alarm and absence of gate which took care eventually) 5. She clearly violated her own policy from her hand book - Page 26 Section 'Injury Prevention' - "I will check daily to make certain that both the indoor and outdoor play areas are safe for children and families - free from broken glass, toys and equipment are safe and the area is free from hazards...." In the end, we ended up walking out with a loss and were unfairly treated.
