Gretchen is simply the best. She treats each child as they are her own and provides educational activities and lots of wonderful outdoor learning. She has helped shape my child into the little person he is! Very thankful to have her and would recommend to anyone looking for daycare.

My son has attended both the toddler program and the children's house. The teachers are so warm and caring. I was a nervous mother sending him for the first time, but they made the transition easy for him and it really is an extension of home! And the education part is BONUS!
