★★★★★Samantha HeinThis is an overdue review, but I know I needed to share! We were only with the Whipple location for two months (September-November 2025) while we waited to a seat to open at a closer Concordia Place location. I was very anxious as this was my first time away from my 2 month old, but the teachers and staff at Whipple were amazing. In particular, Ms. Kristen and Ms. Cha’Nay treated my baby like their own. They genuinely seemed to love her. We seriously contemplated staying at this location because of how great they were, but couldn’t justify commute. All of this to say, we highly recommend the staff and facilities at Whipple!
★★★★★domonique skipperI truly have nothing but good things to say about Concordia Palace Daycare! The staff is absolutely amazing so patient, caring, and loving with the kids. They really take the time to make sure every child is learning, happy, and treated with kindness. My son loves going every day, and that says a lot! They’ve helped him grow, learn new things, and build great routines. It’s clear they genuinely care about each child like family. If you’re looking for a safe, clean, and loving environment where your child will be cared for and supported, I highly recommend Concordia Palace Daycare. You can feel the positive energy the moment you walk in it’s a place where kids truly thrive! ❤️
★★★★★Ivon LeguizamonI have been taking my son to Concordia since he was 2 years for the day care. We did the summer camp this year for the first time and they did an AMAZING experience for my son and for my family. He was excited to attend every day and always happy to be there. They really take best care of the kids. Everyday different activities, educational, proactive, social interaction, field trips and best of all I felt safe leaving him with them. The team make everything for them to feel safe and comfortable. Everyone always smiles and make you feel welcome. Mss Petra keeps you updated everyday with their daily activities, sending pictures and messages about the day. Mss Ariel, always giving you the best vibes, willing to help you and make you feel 100% safe that your kid will be HAPPY being there. I can’t thank enough to Concordia for taking such a great care of my son. Can’t wait to be back next year.
★★★★★Caitlin ZeienWe loved our experience with Concordia for our daughter's preschool! The staff is warm and friendly and so welcoming. We're thrilled that they offer summer and aftercare for older students too. My daughter is so excited to return this summer!
★★★★★Tatiana BermeoIt's hard to believe that a year has already passed since my daughter started at Concordia Place Whipple in the infant classroom. Looking back, it has been such a positive experience for our family, and I am incredibly grateful for the care and attention she has received. One of the things I love most is the communication. Even though we are both working during the day, Procare has made it so easy to stay connected with the classroom. Through the app, I can see updates, pictures, and videos of what she's doing, which really puts my mind at ease while I’m away. It’s like I’m right there with her, witnessing her milestones in real-time. My daughter is in the toddler classroom now, and the teachers at Concordia Place Whipple are exceptional. They are not only caring and nurturing but also dedicated to helping my daughter learn and grow. The bond they’ve formed with her is evident, and I can tell they genuinely enjoy spending time with the children. They’ve created such a warm, loving environment where she feels safe and excited to explore each day. I truly appreciate how the teachers keep us in the loop, answering our questions, sharing feedback, and celebrating her little achievements. It’s clear they take pride in their work and are committed to supporting each child’s development. Thanks to the entire team at Concordia Place Whipple, I feel confident knowing my daughter is in such good hands, and I look forward to seeing how she continues to flourish under their care. ❤️
