We are so grateful for Caterpillar Care—it truly feels like a partnership in our parenting journey. The team is incredibly communicative, attentive, and nurturing. They keep us updated on our daughter’s needs, milestones, and daily experiences, which gives us so much peace of mind. What stands out the most is how genuinely happy our daughter is to go every day—she literally kicks her legs with excitement at drop-off and can’t wait to join her friends. Knowing she’s in such a supportive and loving environment makes all the difference. We can’t recommend Caterpillar Care enough!

We had an amazing experience at caterpillar care from 12 weeks to 3 years old. The smaller school was an ideal environment. They are flexible and meet the individual child's needs (or mom's expectations). Despite some staff changeover, they always prioritized hiring of quality and experienced teachers. They provide a safe, stimulating and fun environment that our little one was always excited to go to and helped us feel reassured about where she was spending so much time each week.

Our son has been at Caterpillar Care for the past two years and it has been so fun to watch our son grow and develop throughout his time there . I have been consistently impressed with the curriculum and how it progresses with their age. You can tell he is constantly learning and is so excited to go to school each day. The directors and staff create a very special community with all the children and their families. Wanted to particularly highlight Miss Erika who is always so communicative to us as parents and takes time to really build a special bond with our son! We will truly miss Caterpillar Care and are grateful for the wonderful experience our whole family has had. Thank you Caterpillar Care!!!

Our son has been attending Caterpillar care for the last two years. We have experience in both Noble square and East Village locations, both of which have exceeded our expectations. Caterpillar care’s atmosphere and professional teaching staff create an optimal learning environment. Our son’s verbal development has greatly benefited from his experience in Caterpillar Care. It feels like he learns a new word or phase everyday. I want to give a special shout-out to Erika and her team. They are top notch. They are easy to communicate with and very responsive! You can tell they really care for their littles. The daily updates and pictures are also great! Thank you, Erika and the whole Caterpillar Care team for an overall great experience

Our daughter thrived at Caterpillar Care. Special thanks to Ms. Dominique in the toddler room for helping make our daughter’s first daycare experience so wonderful. Among many other skills, she knows sign language (more, please, thank you, milk, and help), takes off her shoes when she comes inside, washes her hands, and plays well with others or independently. She had excellent care in the infant room starting at six months, too. We are grateful for all the teachers for creating a loving and comfortable space for our daughter to learn and grow. Thank you, Caterpillar Care!
