I can definitely see the difference between addy's academic success and Landon's due to the preschool environment. They both are thriving but your knowledge and attunement to their needs made a difference. Both love school and wouldn't have it any other way but I can see a difference. Through my research in my PhD program, I know the importance of what an early start makes. You are incredible!!!

Finding Cindy and CCYL is one of the luckiest things that has ever happened to our family. The atmosphere at CCYL is progressive and accepting. It would be a great place for families of all colors and beliefs. The food there is really good! It's healthy, delicious, and homemade, and it has helped us encourage our child to eat a wide variety of things. We can't say enough good things about CCYL.

Cindy had a very intentional way of speaking to and interacting with the children. The training she received through Making the Most of Childhood Interactions. As the children played and interacted with each other and with Cindy, she supported both their language and mathematical development. Cindy constantly surveys the scene for opportunities to pick up a child’s action or statement for further exploration.
