Testimonials

Our recruiting team recently participated as a vendor at the JA Inspire event at the Civic Center this week. As I was asking them about their experience at the event for a story I am writing, they shared with me that the students from WDS were very engaged, interested, pleasant to speak with and asked great questions. They said it stood out to them among the thousands of other students at the event.

We send our daughter Lucy to WDS for so many reasons but most importantly we know she is safe, while receiving a great education. We love the small class sizes and the family-like environment. Having the option to take advantage of before and after school care when needed is awesome too!

I love WDS because the curriculum that is set up to help the children has helped my Tori so much versus being at a home daycare. She is so interested in learning new things, like her shapes, letters and colors. She loves to be read to now. She has learned a lot of independence,especially with using the bathroom. The staff is always pleasent and I can feel the love for my daughter. Tori has the best teachers and she has made so many friends. I love all the activities and events to keep the children motivated. Overall our experience, meaning my comfort and Tori's learning, has been amazing.
