Hear What Parents Have To Say...

The staff is always friendly, courteous and helpful, they are well trained and great second parents!!

We have been through just about every teacher in the center and have not had an issue to date. It is always hard leaving your child in the care of someone else, but this center makes it easier to leave for work each day knowing my child will be safe and cared for while I am away. My child never hesitates to walk right into her class and get started with her day, which makes me feel that much better about leaving.
- Jenelle K.

This facility has a high standard of care, this daycare is home away from home.

I love Impressionable Years! They have been so welcoming to my son and he has formed such great attachments to the staff. He is so happy and I feel very comfortable dropping him off everyday! He has learned so much and it’s exciting watching his progress. No matter who he is working with, I know they care about him. The owner has been so helpful throughout our 6+ months at the center.
- Sari G.

The staff are extremely personable and if I have any concerns, we are able to address it a positive ...

We love Impressionable Years! Our child has thrived under their care! He loves the center. The teachers are wonderful and the admin staff is also easy to work with and very responsive. It’s not a “chain” daycare center and it has a family/warm feel. Each staff member knows the kids, even when they aren’t in their class. We would highly recommend the center to anyone in the area!
- Kylie K.

Impressionable years child care center is a very clean, secure and loving place.

My daughter is on the Spectrum and they make sure she is included, help the other kids communicate with her and treat her fairly just like all the other children . All the kids are happy to be there and that makes a huge difference as a parent knowing that your child enjoys being there daily.
- Stacie G.

The teachers and office staff are amazing they are extremely pleasant and helpful.

We love Impressionable Years! It’s a wonderful family owned and operated center. Our 2 year old daughter has been attending since she was 4 months old during the pandemic. Her speech is at a level ahead of her age and she could say her ABCs and identify colors by age 1.5. She has had some great teachers over the last 2 years who have made her feel loved and worked with her to ensure academic success every step of the way. We are thankful for the staff at Impressionable Years. They have become family!
- Mandy H.

Sweet and lovely staff, clean environment, and very beautiful, and a great place for children.

We have been with impressionable years for seven months and they have truly been a blessing to our family. Each team member is knowledgeable, passionate and caring. They embrace our baby girl and it truly brings us comfort and certainty when we entrust our daughter into their hands. We are new parents and we are constantly filled with fears and questions and the IY team has helped to ease a lot of our anxiety, given us tips, guidance and love! I highly recommend this wonderful establishment.
- Amina S.

The staff is very nice and friendly. It's a beautiful place, cozy, clean & colorful, just like a "home".

My child has been there since he turned 2 and he loves. His learning has improved alot. My only complaint is that parents weren't notified when they changed his teacher(s). Other than that, this place is great.
- Ashlee G.

This daycare is home away from home. The teachers really care. They truly love children!

This is a great center that does a wonderful job of teaching and nurturing the children. We have sent 3 of our kids through them and they work very hard to make sure each child is ready in every aspect for kindergarten. We are very happy with our decision to trust Impressionable Years.
- Jaryd C.

The staff is super friendly they can always answer my questions and accommodate me!

I use to go here when I was little, when it was named daily discoveries. I always had the best times from what I remember. I wanted my daughter to experience the same as I have. You really feel the love. They know all the children by name. Every time they see me, the staff are always grabbing my daughter for me. Best place ever.
- Rebecca S.

So many interesting activities for young minds! I love the daily updates through the app!

The procare app gives me such piece of mind, I check it periodically through the day and can see videos and pictures of my kids learning and playing. I can message the teachers on the app and respond to notes real time. I definitely recommend the center.
