As a working parent, I can't say enough good things about STEM Child Care! The hours are super convenient for our schedule, and I love that healthy meals are included. The daily updates and adorable pictures/videos on Brightwheel give me such peace of mind. My child adores Ms. Bailey and is always excited to share something new he's learned. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a nurturing, engaging preschool! P.S. we've been to other centers, and this one is the best that we've found. Skip the corporate centers.

Both of my children love the teachers at KinderCare. My son went into kindergarten knowing more than most of the children in his class thanks to the teachers at KinderCare.
