“My daughter started [at Concordia Place] this past fall, and the staff has been wonderful helping her adjust. They’ve been mindful of her uncertainty, meeting her needs with age-appropriate strategies (she’s 4 and was coming from a home-based daycare where she was used to a very free environment and had grown up with all the other children). Within a week, it was obvious she was comfortable at Concordia. I love how friendly the entire staff is, from the Director to the all the teachers. Every person I’ve spoken to has been open and understanding on a daily basis, always willing to listen and work with me. They’ve adjusted to our family’s crazy schedule and are very quick with their communication. I love that they serve (and provide menus of) healthful food and provide daily updates on my daughter’s daily activities. I appreciate their mix of free play learning in a structured, classroom setting learning. I think my daughter will be better prepared for Kindergarten because of Concordia.”
