We switched to this Daycare a few months ago for commute. We were skeptical with transitioning from a facility that had live cameras. My son adjusted so fast and quickly began to feel comfortable. There is times he does not want to even leave for the day at pickup. The staff is very understanding and takes every concern seriously. As a parent that means alot! We are very thankful for finding this facility and staff!

Ms. Tee was extremely helpful in explaining the childcare assistance program and walking me through the enrollment process. She also offered a tour for all four of my boys, ranging in age from 2 months to 5 years old. What impressed me most was her open-door policy—she made me feel comfortable knowing I could discuss anything with her. It is clear that she truly cares about supporting every family.

My girls have been attending Whistle Stop since they were 4 mo (now almost 4 yo) the teachers are caring and wonderful, the front the staff is so supportive that I don't know what I'd done without them. Everyday I know I leave my girls in the best care. I recomend this school to anyone but specially to parents with multiples because they have plenty of experience. Best decision I've ever made, I'm so glad I found them!

My son has been attending for almost a year now and I'm so grateful we were able to get him into this daycare! They always host great activities they families can join in on. They do a great job of teaching them stuff - colors, letters, words, etc. If an accident happens they immediately call to let you know what happened. Love being kept in the loop with their remind app as well!! They'll even occasionally send pics of your child and what they're up to ☺️
