The Children First Center

My youngest attended CF all preschool through elementary ( ages 4 till 10). I could not have asked for better quality care for my child. Donna, the director is very compassionate easy to work with. Donna's main focus has always been about providing the very best care for the children and having top notch caregivers on staff. Donna and the entire CF team helped give my child a solid foundation one full of how to respect, love, and communicate effectively. Highly recommend!

The Children First Center is top notch quality care. Director Donna is amazing goes above and beyond for her staff, children and families they serve. From the moment you walk in and interact with the team at children first it is an experience like no other. Children and families are treated with the utmost respect. Donna was one of the most caring and loving Directors i have ever encountered in my 20 years working with children and families. I have never seen a center so dedicated in providing high quality services to the community and children in their care. The experiences they provide the children will never be forgotten. The team at children first makes a difference daily with their high quality care.

I have had more than one child attend CF from pre-school to school age. The staff is caring, thorough, and truly wants what is best for the children in their care. They approach situations from a holistic lens and listen before taking action through education. They have a great understanding of child development and meeting the children’s needs where they are- regardless of chronological age. CF also takes into consideration hours of operations to balance staffing with caregivers working hours. They were flexible when they were able to and supportive always.

Children First has been the best decision my husband and I have made regarding our kids. Not only is the staff professional and organized, they are also incredibly warm, welcoming and loving. What a gift to find a center that understands the importance of “school readiness” and unstructured play time and to be able to facilitate that balance on a property that feels like a secret garden?! Both of my kids have been through their program all the way through Kindergarten and I can honestly say they, AND we as a family are better for it.

Our family has so many GREAT things to say about Children First! My child has very positive experiences there. The children are happy, the teachers and staff are warm and welcoming, the whole atmosphere there feels happy - it even smells comforting! I am unbelievably grateful that my child is around positive and supportive adults that are not only great role models to the kids, but also help foster relationships with their peers. The kids have fun with plenty of outdoor play on a beautiful piece of property, and the teachers facilitate lots of different activities to keep them engaged. I have never encountered a more devoted team to the children’s growth and development. The staff really work hard to understand the children and their families to provide the best care. A+++
