My child has been attending MDNS since she was a toddler and I'm thrilled with the level of care she receives. The teachers are compassionate and loving, educated in child care techniques, respectful and professional in dealing with parents. The staff have never used physical punishments. Assuming parents discipline properly at home and teach children to be respectful, the staff can focus on teaching and preparing children for school. Can't say enough wonderful things about MDNS!

I was nervous about the switch from a home daycare to a center, but My Little Preschool is proving to be the best of both worlds! We have 2 kids currently attending - one toddler and one preschool. Both are happy to be there and coming home with so much new knowledge and smiles on their faces - a parent's dream really. They are flourishing in this environment. The written reports I get to read every day help me stay involved. Would recommend My Little Preschool to EVERYONE :)Read more
