Dot To Dot has been an incredible experience for our daughter. We joined Dot To Dot when our child was in the Seedlings program when she was 18 months. We feel seen as parents by all team member, our child is loved, the educators are extremely qualified, and we feel that our daughter is thriving. We are provided with lots of feedback in regards to not only our child yet what the classroom and school community is doing. The Food education program not only provides our daughter with nutritious meals yet ensures she is provided with a variety for her palette. The school has a Food Atelier where our daughter is able to visit and explore through food and our daughter loves the Chef.The school also has a social emotional support team that is there to support the children yet help guide us parents with feedback, suggestions and our questions, a rare find in a early education setting.We are grateful we have Dot To Dot for our family!
