Centre Reviews
So so happy to have found a place at Story House! We’d been attending another center locally that we weren’t 100% happy with,... So so happy to have found a place at Story House! We’d been attending another center locally that we weren’t 100% happy with, and even after 8 months our beautiful confident boy still hadn’t settled and found his place and we could tell he just wasn’t himself there. After visiting multiple centres and talking to a few friends Story House was recommended to us more than once. Even from our first visit we were smitten. The teachers are gorgeous (and consistent, and welcoming!), the space is well thought out and a joy for the kiddos, the activities set up in the morning are varied and engaging, the program and routine is perfect and even after a week our son has asked to go to Story House rather than his ‘old’ daycare. Thank you guys so much for giving us so much peace of mind that our kiddos are being well taken care of. It’s such a blessing! Read more
