Review of The Giving Tree Academic Cente...

My wife and I enrolled our son when he was just 2 ...

My wife and I enrolled our son when he was just 2 years old. She had searched high and low, interviewing several care facilities and we fell in love with the people at the Giving Tree, instantly. It's a matter of trust, bringing your child somewhere for a full day-every day. My wife had stayed home with him until this moment and she was a hot mess, love her!! Our expectations were high, we were nervous and most of all we needed comforting. Was he going to be ok? The what if's were overwhelming...how's the food? Nutrition is important! We were a little high maintenance and you know what, within a week we were so confident and comfortable with the Teachers and Stacey, the Owner that we were able to relax, focus on our jobs and just have more ease daily; we knew our nugget was safe, happy and surrounded by people who truly cared. They cook the food fresh, daily. The lessons they teach, the care they give, the crafts they create, down to their follow up and communication-are all facets of their provided service that far exceeded our expectations.

We've moved and now and our little guy is starting Kindergarten. The impact the Teachers and friends have had on my son is beautiful and we are so grateful to the peeps at TGT. He misses them all so very much, it's heart wrenching. They still check in with us too! We were invited back to the graduation of his preschool class, having been sent the song they learned and instructions via email-our baby was able to not only come to the graduation but he was a part of it-cap, gown, the whole shebang. I cannot thank the Giving Tree enough for the amazing, warm and loving experience our little man had at this center. We made the right choice enrolling him here and I can say, it's incredibly hard for us to find anything in comparison. We've been ruined for future daycares. Seriously. And our sweet little muffin still sings that song from graduation....Kindergarten here we come, we know we'll have lots of fun....

Thank you TGT!! If we lived in a perfect world, you would come open up a new center in Maple Valley.
