They are absolutely amazing. They have great staff that pays attention to the children individually. I have two children there and I highly recommend them. They are educating them, not just babysitting them. My 3-year-old can already count and read. I rate them a 10 out of 10!

Our kiddo was here daily from 5mos old to 2.5y (when she aged up to a bigger place). She was always well cared for, learned a LOT, loved going, and made friends. We so appreciate Ms R’s and her staff’s loving support. Whenever we needed a little more info, all we had to do was ask.

My 3 little granddaughters all love attending this special school. We all love the emphasis on outdoor activities and cooperative play. Socializing is so critical for children, and all this has been well managed especially in this era of covid. I am thankful for AUCP.

Ms Maria, Ms Olga, and Ms Rosa have been great with my 2 yr old and 1 yr old. Both have been here since they were about 4 months old. My daughter walks up to the door every morning smiling and seems genuinely happy to see everyone. Both my kids are thriving and hitting their milestones.
