All I can say is WOW! As someone who has 4 kids and has seen her fair share of daycares (centers, homes, churches), I can say without a doubt that LeafSpring is TOP NOTCH. I currently have 3 kids attending LeafSpring - one in the daycare and two in the after school program. They are all SO excited to go there each day! (I'm often told I pick them up too early and they'd prefer to stay a little longer.🤷♀️) The staff members are nice and engaging and there are always plenty of fun activities that spark learning, creativity and curiosity. With my background in education, finding a school/camp where my kids would enjoy learning through play and exploration was very important to me. The "village" at LeafSpring has every activity imaginable for them to participate in, including a drama/theater room, a library/media space, a HUGE gym and even a full kitchen! (With my oldest, the kitchen was a huge hit...although I'm pretty sure I gained some weight, as he was baking something daily, once the counselors discovered it was a passion of his!)
As impressed as I am with the after school program, the summer camp last year blew me away! Fun weekly themes, field trips galore, ample pool time... and hours that actually allow me to still follow my work schedule. Super convenient!
Melissa Milgram, the village/summer camp director has been especially AMAZING to work with. She is always smiling when I see her and is responsive to questions and receptive to feedback... though, to date, my feedback has only been how impressed I've been with her program!!! I know my kids are in caring and capable hands! You should definitely contact Melissa if you're in the market for an amazing summer or after school experience for your child(ren) - I can't speak highly enough about LeafSpring!
