What Parents are Saying about Our Schools

It is amazing how much my kids have learned.…

We started at the School for Amazing Kids, Pelham almost a year ago. I have 3 year old twins. My husband and I have not had one complaint with the school since they started there. The kids love it there. They even ask on Saturdays if they can go to school. It is amazing how much my kids have learned.We love all the extras that are a part of this daycare as well. They have a parents night out once a month. We love that we get to go on a date without having to pay a babysitter. They have classes like ballet as well as programs for music and sports. They have fun things like a Sweetheart Banquet, PJ day, water day, fall festivals and the Kona ice truck in the summer.Wouldn’t change anything about or experience at this daycare.
