“When exploring early childhood programs for my children to attend, I considered all of the expected variables, ranging from curriculum to facilities, safety and of course price. Wooddale certainly checked all of the boxes in these domains, with evidence-based curriculum, beautiful facilities and a competitive price point. However, the hidden variable that has made us so passionate about the program is the love that the faculty and staff outpour onto my children. I have absolutely no doubt that when I drop my children off, everyone, ranging from their teachers to the kitchen staff, will love them like their own. It feels like a beautiful extension of our family. For me, there is no better gift in the world.”
