Ark Child Care

The Ark has been the greatest place to send our children. We have sent both our children to The Ark since they were infants. The care they receive is the best. The teachers really care and love the children. You can tell they love their jobs and are passionate about being early childhood educators. My son has learned so much in the pre-​school program. It is a great balance between academic and play based learning. There are also fabulous extra activities — such as soccer, sign language, cooking, and music. The class sizes are great, as the teacher to student ratios are lower than the state limits. The Ark has truly become my village and family. I highly recommend it to families looking for high quality care and education for their little ones.

We are so lucky to have found The Ark. They have been an extremely important part of our children’s growth, and we have been sending our children there for about 3.5 years now (our oldest is 4.5 yrs and youngest is 2 yrs old). The teachers there are loving, caring, patient and extremely knowledgeable in early child development, which provides a pieces of mind since both my husband and I have very demanding jobs in the tech industry. Before our first child was born, I did extensive research/​homework on child daycare on the east side (Bright Horizons, Montessori Schools, Private Home Daycare etc, and most have about a 6 mos-​1yr wait list). We visited about 10+ different places, none of them impressed us. I was in a panic and hired a nanny for about 4 – 5 months (which cost over twice than The Ark and was disappointed with her), luckily a friend referred us to The Ark because both of her kids also go there. Since day 1, I knew this was where i felt comfortable leaving my kids everyday, so I can go to work worry free. Seeing how happy our kids (and all the other kids) are while in school and how much they love going is the best testimony a child daycare can have-​most kids’ are long term with siblings all go there too, and the kids that started going as babies/​toddlers are still there. I would highly recommend The Ark to any family who is looking to bring up their children in a loving Christian environment.
