A great place to send your kids. Learning environment and teachers small class size opportunities for kids to flourish. Highly recommend.
We couldn’t be happier with this kindergarten. 💛 The trilingual education system is truly impressive. It’s amazing to see children naturally exposed to multiple languages while learning and having fun at the same time. Even we just started, my kids start to learn and speak few Spanish words. The teachers are caring, patient, and genuinely invested in the children’s development. Seeing our kids go in happily every morning and come home excited to share their day means everything to us. We’re so grateful to have found this place. Highly recommended! ✨
A wonderful school! Me and my husband just had our first baby, and we both had to return to work with our daughter only being 12 weeks old. We had to find a daycare that we trusted, with high standards, care, and staff that worked best for us. Thank goodness for Amici Trilingual Daycare, and for Shauna who took extremely good care of us for the enrollment process. Ms Debbie, our daughter’s daycare teacher, is taking excellent care of our girl everyday. Enough to calm a worried mama’s mind. It is such a trusted environment and I am so relaxed knowing our daughter is getting the best care!
