My 2 y/o son is close to turning 1 year in the Circle, and I’m looking forward to have my newborn son start later this year in the Circle. We couldn’t have asked for more from a daycare. It’s often hard for me to pick up my son since he wants to stay, and even during the weekend he’ll be asking about the Circle, the staff, and his peers.
We appreciate Isabel’s flexibility, adjusting to our son’s needs (e.g., nap times, food, etc.). We appreciate Isabel’s communication & responsiveness, keeping us informed of any relevant events happening through the day (e.g., our son had a scratch from playing in the park). We appreciate all the activities that are planned for the kids throughout the week, including painting, dressing up, visiting the park, the library, the zoo, etc. Our son is not just safe and well fed, but he’s also receiving a lot of love, and having a lot of fun.
We are incredibly grateful to have found The Circle Childcare, and our son was blessed to have been cared by Isabel & the staff.
I don't know where to start with reviewing The Circle Childcare, there are so many wonderful things! Isabel brings a fun, creative and calming vibe to the daycare and all the children absolutely love her. She has created a warm and nurturing space for the kids to explore and learn. They read, sing, dance, build, get gloriously dirty and have so much fun. Our son is very spirited and she knows exactly how to celebrate his personality while also teaching him to explore safely. He is always happy to see her and often does not want to leave at the end of the day! They eat well and nap great. We also really appreciate that Isabel works to build the community of The Circle and we always look forward to the family gatherings. We feel so thankful to have found Isabel and The Circle Childcare.
