Mrs. Kristen and Mrs. Natalie are very hands on with the kids. Also, I can tell they really care about the kids a lot. Because my daughter Evonnie comes home every day and tells me about her day and what she learned that day. Thanks Mrs. Kristen and Mrs.Natalie you both are the real MVP.

I love how attentive the staff and educators are to each child. You can tell there's a love for teaching and learning. The staff and teachers have a family feel to the culture and treat each student with respect and kindness. Mrs. Dyniece and Mrs. Romona have been all but just tremendous to my child. My son has shown growth in his social and academic development. He truly enjoys being part of his class and loves his teachers. Thank you to Ms. Erika and Ms. Carolyn for their close attention to all children safety and support. We appreciate the Parker-Chase team!

My preschooler absolutely loves going to his new school. His first day, drop off was terrible due to his prior experiences of other centers. When I picked him up from daycare that first day, he told me how much fun he had and about his “nice teachers”. He says his teachers aren’t angry, and his room isn’t dirty like his old school. Every day since, he walks right into the center and his classroom without any issues. I’m never walking into chaos at drop off or pick up, it’s very nice seeing the teachers having calm control over their classrooms. Beyond thankful to have my kids in a place where I know they’re being loved and cared for!
