Testimonials
We have two children ages 4 (Aidan) and 18 months (Ella) at RSCC and we could not be happier. We looked at about every daycare center in the area and really think we found the best. Not only is RSCC a brand new state of the art facility, the teachers and directors are wonderful people who do all the extra things to show us they truly care about our children. Whether it is a picture emailed to us because one (or both) kids had a cute moment that day at school or a simple phone call to tell us some exciting news, we know our kids are happy at RSCC. We call it a school, because the programs and curriculum for both our kids are more like a school than a daycare center. RSCC offers hot lunches, yoga, soccer, ballet and exercise classes weekly, school pictures, field trips, homework, holiday parties and even an inauguration party! It really does feel like we are sending our kids to school and not a daycare center. We had a nanny for the first 3 years with Aidan and to say he has shown growth in the last year is an understatement. Aidan has truly developed into a wonderful young man with the help of RSCC and little Ella is not far behind! We feel confident both our children will be better prepared for kindergarten because of RSCC. If you have any questions please feel free to email us at rehfield@verizon.net

I wanted to share the
perspective of a long-time parent at Rock Spring Children's Center. We first
enrolled our daughter in the previous location when she was 6 months old. She
is now 4 1/2 years old and has blossomed under the loving care of the teachers
at the center. Her 2 year old sister also loves her classmates and teachers and
is already learning her letters and talking up a storm.
I have complete confidence in the teachers and directors
at Rock Spring. They are responsive and communicate well, and they also are
flexible and laidback enough to manage the ever-changing needs of a group of
small children. A daycare center can be a noisy and chaotic place, and this one
is filled with love and excitement for learning. The teachers are expert at
transitioning babies from two/three naps to one, weaning from bottles, teaching
table manners and fair play, potty training (thank you!) and of course colors,
letters, numbers, and the other standards in a preschool curriculum.
We also love the new facility, with two outdoor
playgrounds and two huge indoor play spaces for bad weather. One thing I adore
about the center is the emphasis they place on outdoor play and physical
exercise.
If anyone has questions about the center for a parent,
feel free to email me directly at kakki_lewis(at)hotmail.com

My son has been at the
RSCC for two months and within that time I have seen a significant growth. My
son has made friends with his class mates and enjoys the teachers. He would
normally cry for a few minutes when I dropped him off but now he will go to his
teacher with little or no fuss. One of the reasons that I chose the center is
because it is located in the building in which I work but I can truly say that
when I drop him off in the morning I no longer feel a need to constantly go down
and check on him because I know he is receiving the best of care! Coming from a
first time Mom, that in itself is amazing! The staff is always attentive and
informative. Our family look forward to many years with the RSCC!!!

We have been loving the preschool program at the Rock Spring Children's Center. They follow the "High Reach" curriculum in the older classes, which is an activity based, hands-on approach. One of the nice things about the Center is that even the younger classes (toddlers, twos and threes) follow an informal version of this style so that the transition to a more formal curriculum is rather seamless. Nothing is forced on the children, but so much is available for them when they are ready to handle it. Our daughter just turned 4 and she is writing her name, knows how to identify all and write most of the letters and can do basic addition and subtraction. She even has voluntary homework (which she loves). I have no doubt she will be reading by the time she gets to kindergarten. We are always amazed at the things she seems to learn each month. Our 22 month old is counting to 10, singing his ABC's and can even say a few things in Spanish. It is also nice that the program is a full day, year round program. With both of us working rather demanding jobs, we have the peace of mind of knowing that our children are not only well cared for during the day, but they will also be more than ready for kindergarten. Plus, they both love going to school!
