My Nonprofit Reviews

We moved our two kids to Emerson from a big chain daycare when I changed jobs. One of the things I really loved about it was that it seemed to mix the feel of an at-home care facility and a professional center. The facility is welcoming and homey, and just also happens to have two of the coolest outdoor play areas I've ever seen! The teachers know all the kids in all the classes; I would hear about my kids' day from two to three teachers each day when I arrived. They engage in gentle discipline and treat the kids with incredible respect and empathy. The kids get to participate in community gardening and caring for animals and spend a great deal of their day outside, which was important to me. And the fact that a percentage of their student population has special needs made me so glad that my two kiddos would be growing up with inclusion and tolerance an integral part of the way they interact with others. We don't have any other family in town; the staff at Emerson became our second family. I highly recommend Emerson to everyone.
