I am a nanny and have worked with multiple families who send their kids to Thistlewaite.
This place is amazing!
The staff is so well trained, great with the kids, challenge them, expect and teach manners, are affectionate, and actually play with the kids.
You can tell everyone there absolutely adores children. The facility is always clean.
I love the toy selection! Very heavily focused on STEM play, fine motor skills, vocabulary, and nature.
I've worked with several families who I knew prior to going to Thistlewaite, and see a dramatic positive change in behavior, focus, and how they interact with adults etc.
I've been told it's expensive, but from what I've seen, it's worth every penny!
One complaint: I enforce naps strictly. I noticed that they would let one of the kids I worked with get up and play when he really needed to be napping.
But I know that's really hard with groups of little ones though. read more
