Our family cannot say enough good things about Penguin Crossing Academy! Our older boy has been attending since we moved here a year ago, and our 1yo started in the Fall. The administration is organized, understanding, and kind. The (very) few issues or questions we've had have been addressed in a prompt, transparent, and helpful way. We have a child with severe food allergies and they have been understanding and accommodating, calling with any questions or concerns, and it has been an incredible relief to find somewhere he is safe.
The teachers are top notch as well. Our boys love going everyday and are seen for their individual selves, known by their names by all teachers, and they're always doing creative and educational activities that they send photos of on the Brightwheel app.
We feel like this daycare is a major part of our "village," putting our family's needs first and we're very grateful to have found them!
