Powered by GoogleExcellent place!! I cant recommend them enough. My son came here for spring break week and will be back for summer camp. He has had a great time, made new friends and even tried new foods.
Our daughter Loves Sappington and all of the teachers. She looks forward to seeing her teachers and friends and we love seeing her develop and learn.
My daughter has been at Sappington Child Care Center since right before she turned 3, and we couldn’t be happier. She started in the Rabbits and just moved up to the Beavers, and she has loved every single teacher she’s had—Miss Madison, Miss Emily, Miss Mary, Miss Summer, Miss Teresa, Miss Rachel, Miss Bree, Miss Phyllis, Miss Carol, and more. They’ve all been so patient, kind, and caring. She comes home excited to tell me about her day, and I’ve watched her grow so much in confidence and independence since being here. It means so much knowing she’s safe, happy, and loved while I’m at work. We’re so thankful for this place!
My daughter attended the summer camp. She enjoyed the field trips, learning how to swim and all the new friends she met. She already said she definitely wants to come back next summer.
This is the 3rd year that my son is attending preschool here. He loves all of the teachers and swimming in the summer. All of the programs that they have throughout the year are so much fun! Highly recommend!
