Foundations Early Childhood Education

I can’t say enough good things about Foundations. My daughter started there at 10 weeks, just after they opened, and our whole experience in the infant and toddler rooms has been great. We’re constantly amazed at how much she’s learning academically. But the real value for us is in how much love and attention she receives from the staff. They treat her like family. It’s great to know she’s spending her days in such a caring and stimulating environment.

Coraline has been attending Foundations for just over a year and we have been so happy with the school, the location, the owners and the staff. She absolutely loves going to school here. She is treated well and feels very welcome and comfortable here. In addition to lots of free time to play and hang out, they spend time focusing on helping the kids learn (letters, numbers, colors, etc). When I ask Coraline how her day was, she gushes about how she ‘played, read and sang with her friends’. She is never ready to leave when I come to pick her up at the end of the day. This is a really well-​managed school and we are so happy it’s just down the street!

We are so very lucky to have found Foundations, and able to get our daughter in right before the wait lists started. Every single teacher is always smiling and seems to know my two year old. Even with a full classroom, I can see each and every child receives individual attention and LOVE… My daughter gets upset on the weekends that she can’t go to school and asks for her teachers and friends by name, one at a time
I am one of the last parents to pick up (very few day cares are open until 6:30 which is necessary for my job) and see the freshly cleaned rooms and bathrooms every night. I have never once worried about cleanliness here.
…And on that note, FOUNDATIONS ACCEPTS CLOTH!!! Not only do they accept cloth, but HAPPILY! Other places agreed, but were obviously not happy about it. The Foundations teachers never made me feel like I was putting them out or being difficult, which was a huge relief.
There are so many more great things about Foundations, but I think you get the point.

When I was looking for care options for our daughter in December I was nervous. We had wanted a nanny, but that didn’t work out. So I decided, hesitantly, to look at daycare centers. Foundations is right between my house and office, so I stopped in more as «well, it would be convenient». And I immediately fell in love with the people. Everyone is so loving and kind and caring. The children love them, and love what they do there. My daughter was very introverted and shy. She used to get very upset and overwhelmed in places with lots of people. They were so nice to let her gradually ease into being there. They were excellent with how easily she was upset by new people. And after only a few months, all those problems were gone. She’s still an introvert, but she can do crowds and new people just fine. She can walk up and say hi to kids. They don’t make her get involved with the rowdy kids (and make sure that they don’t overwhelm her). They do so much art and fun and reading. Some mornings my 16 month old doesn’t even cry when I leave her (which kind of makes me sad). She is always happy and engaged when I get there. Often I have to tear her away from what she is doing because she is so engaged. They don’t have the fancy extra rooms that some of the other places do, but they more than make up for it in love and excitement and deep caring about the children. The people are more important than the stuff. I am so glad that we found Foundations.

Love this place! When our at-​home provider left on short notice we were in a bind. We hesitantly visited a number of local daycares and were quickly sold on the people here. It’s been about a year since then and we are 100% satisfied. I am regularly in touch with my son’s teachers and Krissy (Director), the rooms are always clean, and the activities are evolving and engaging. Great neighborhood find!

Our little guy has been at Foundations for about two months and we just love it. The staff is super friendly and dedicated to providing a nurturing environment to our baby. We switched from a nearby church-​based daycare to Foundations after we were disappointed with the care and attention he was receiving. It seemed like he spent most of his time in a swing with a pacifer at the old place. At Foundations he gets daily sensory activities and plenty of attention and care. It’s amazing that I’ve never walked in to pick him up or drop him off and heard a baby crying; they are so well looked after. We are so much happier after we switched to Foundations and look forward to our baby growing and moving to the other classrooms for toddlers.
