"An extension of our family"

"Warm, welcoming"

"Safe, creative, encouraging growth"

"Structured, yet nurturing"

Important parts of the MCC program:

"I'd highly recommend MCC (and do) to friends.  I loved the relaxed atmosphere where kids are safe, comfortable, creative and cared-for.  Love that academics are present but secondary to life skills"

"Having my son in a warm, nurturing and safe place (when he shows up the first thing he does is hug the teachers which shows me how safe and cared for he feels)"

"I love the focus on socialization/friendship/kindness"

"Where do I begin? The warmth you feel from every staff member every time you walk in is incredible.  It's unlike anything I could have imagined.  I also love that there is a true focus on learning through play instead of the rigid structure I know exists in other programs."

"I love the way the teachers all work together even if they don't teach the same class."

"As a parent, communication is one of the most important parts for me.  I love the daily emails and appreciate the ease of getting in contact with someone as needed via phone or email.  Response time is SO quick.  Safety and kindness are also important, I know my kids are safe and well cared for at MCC."

"Children are safe and loved, they are not just in childcare, but are actively learning and preparing to be successful in kindergarten."

"MCC is very personal and involved with the entire family.  The teachers invested so much time getting to know my children."

"Thank you for all you do! We are very happy and extremely impressed with the effort to make each child’s experience tailored to his/her own development.  A million times different from past programs we’ve been to"

"The staff is amazing, they are trustworthy and caring"

"The kids feel empowered and at home at school"

"Highly competent teachers, low turnover of staff"

"I know my child is safe, happy and loved"
