Long overdue review for the infant classroom! Our daughter started at WKS when she was five months old and has been there almost a year. It was so stressful trying to find good care for a baby, but WKS has exceeded our expectations in every way.

The teachers are so unbelievably caring and knowledgeable – you can tell they really love the kids and the work that they do. Our daughter is so excited to get dropped off in the morning and always has the biggest smile on her face when she sees all her friends. The days are always packed with activities and lots of outdoor time, and since she’s gotten bigger they’ve offered a full lunch and snacks daily as well.

The school is very professionally managed – we get frequent photos and updates and the sick/closed days are minimal. There has also been no staff turnover since we started which is amazing for the kids!

We consider ourselves very lucky to have found WKS and I recommend it any chance I get. Our daughter is really thriving in every way and I give the amazing WKS team a lot of credit for that!

My child has been attending Whole Kid School for over a year now and we could not be happier. Their staff are all wonderful, communicative, thoughtful, and care about the children so much. Our child loves her time at school, her teachers, her friends, and their amazing out-door space. They have a great companion app for parents that makes it easy to communicate with staff and receive updates on your child throughout the day. The team is incredibly responsive and always ready to team up with you on parenting strategies so that home and daycare are coordinated (i.e. potty training, introducing foods, etc). I could go on and on, but we really feel it has been a great fit for our child and we would recommend it to anyone looking for daycare in the area. Thank you to the Whole Kid School team for all that you do and for taking such great care of our child!

WKS had been an incredible experience for our daughter (and us!) who has been going for more than two years.

She seems to learn something new every day, and our pediatrician is always impressed to hear from her about what she’s learning “at school”. We started in the infant program and I initially wasn’t excited about the idea of having her be watched in a “group”. Fast forward a few years and we’ve welcomed another baby who I’m excited to have him start going to WKS at the end of mat leave.

Teacher Shell does an incredible job of creating a team of teachers that truly love children and matches them perfectly with the age groups. We love the regular updates and parent teacher check-ins, mostly because you can truly tell that the teachers love what they do and are invested in helping them grow into smart, kind, and curious friends.
