Why Are You the Best of the ’Burgh?
“The biggest thing that we always preach is that we’re a family. Kids don’t just come here and leave; they’re not just a number, here. We have a very tight-knit, family feel. We’re very, very close. I have a couple of teachers that have been here for years, and they get invited to birthdays and family events. Other than that, I have to brag about my teachers. They are incredible. My director, Madison Galbraith, is our pre-school teacher and, honestly, the heart of this place. I’m honestly so lucky to have her. She really holds this place together. We wouldn’t be the daycare we are today without the constant support of our families, and our friends.” — Fran Hernandez, Owner
