We’re so thankful for Make Way for Ducklings! Our son was struggling at his previous daycare, but once he started here, everything changed. He was excited to go every day, made great friends, and learned so much. He’s now writing his name, recognizing all the letters, and even holding his pencil like a second grader. The teachers are incredible!

We are so glad we chose to send our son to MWFD. He truly enjoys every minute he is there. The school has been great with communication and always has something fun and educational planned for the kids. We couldn't be happy with our choice!

Make Way For Ducklings runs a structured, scholarly, and safe environment for all of their students. Their communication with care givers is appropriate and timely. Involving families in their community is a priority and they always make us feel heard. My child leaves our house smiling and excited to start his school day and always looks forward to coming back when we leave. We couldn’t be happier with Make Way for Ducklings and we are so grateful for all of the opportunities they provide for our little life long learner!

5 stars! My 3 year old currently attends and we love it! I have toured plenty of pre-schools to say this school is the best. The children follow a routine and the school is usually quiet for it being a pre-school! There are less than 10 kids in my daughter’s class as some don’t attend daily, which gives the teachers time to dedicate one on one attention. There is always something fun and educational planned. We bring home arts and crafts all the time. The teachers are so sweet!! They are all caring and have positive attitudes. The progress report that we received half-way through the year was very comprehensive. I could go on and on…love love love!
