WHAT MOMS ARE SAYING...
As a working mom of four (ages 5, 4, and twin newborns), I’m amazed that many people in Huntsville have never heard of an ‘au pair’ before. We are new to the area and I would love to share our best family secret – having our in home help, through Au Pair Care. We’ve had Au Pairs for the past five years, and it has been the ideal childcare for our family. If you have more than one child, it is almost always more affordable than daycare. If you have young children, having an au pair means you don’t have to get them up early, they can stay at home and on their schedule and in their environment. We also are a bilingual family, and the au pair program has helped us reinforce the language and culture of my husband’s family (he’s Swedish). The benefits are endless. Au Pair Care is a great agency, and offers very hands on, friendly area directors to help you find your perfect match. Would love to see more moms in Rocket City take advantage of this! – Stephanie G.

I cannot say enough great things about Hampton Cove Preschool! My son has been there for 3 years and my daughter has been there for 6 months. The teachers are outstanding!

I highly recommend! – Jessica J.

WHAT MOMS ARE SAYING...
I must start out by saying that I am a mama who is VERY hands-on with my daughter. I own my own business, Valley Birkenstock, and my husband is an engineer so we work very hard to balance work and family life. I knew it was going to be a challenge to find somewhere that I felt like was taking the care that I demanded for my daughter and I found it. I am such a big fan of Ardent. We toured several daycares/schools to try to find a good fit for our family and I was so impressed with Ardent. They have wonderful teachers and staff that truly love on the kids. My daughter has excelled there in every way. When I say “Are you ready to go to school?” she runs for the door. She absolutely loves it there and it makes me feel so good to leave her somewhere knowing that she is safe and happy. They have cameras in every classroom for accountability and you have to have a code to enter. You can bring your own lunch and we believe in a low sugar diet which they happily follow. They do a different color, shape, bible verse, and character value each week. It AMAZES me when I go in to pick up my daughter and all of the 1 year olds are sitting in chairs doing lessons. I’ve walked in on many an occasion to the teachers singing songs to them and even doing lyrical dancing for them one time. I can not say enough good things about this school and recommend it to anyone and everyone that asks! – Julie P.
My little one is in Kindergarten now, but she started the preschool when she was 3months old. We have loved it. Great academics and kinetic learning in a clean Christian atmosphere. – Cheryl B.
We have been sending our child to Ardent since Early 2011. She absolutely loves it and has learned so much. I love not having to worry about my child while I am at work because I know she is being well taken care of. I also love that they are backing up the same Christian values we are instilling at home. – Christina H.

I absolutely adore Latham Child Development Center. I have had my daughter there since she was 5 months old (now 17 months). The staff is knowledgeable, loving, and flexible to the needs of each child. My daughter has always been happy to see them! It makes it a lot easier to go to work knowing that she’s in great care. The staff has always provided a lot of support to us, the parents, as well as to the babies and children. They are also great about keeping the place and toys super clean. I would definitely recommend them. – Carrie C.

What a Wonderful School. The People at Little lambs are what make it so Special. Pastor John, Ms. Elsa and Ms. Deborah, have a Love for Children , that is a calling for God. That Love is in Everything they do. – Janet L.
My youngest son Griffin attended LLLC in the 3 year old class in the 2011/2012 school year. We were so blessed by this preschool and Griffin absolutely loved attending. He learned so many educating skills for Kindergarten readiness but the most important was the biblically based themes in which he was taught. Elsa is such a wonderful, caring and loving director and teacher as well as all of her staff. We enjoyed all of the special programs too which allowed parental involvement. We had Grifin signed up for the 4 year old class the following year, but unfortunately we had an unexpected move out of the area. I highly recommend this preschool. You will. Or be disappointed. God Bless. Julie S.
My 3 year old went to Little Lambs this past year and we just LOVED it. It was perfect for her. They are a very Christ centered program so the children attend chapel every Thursday with the church’s pastor Who plays the accordion and they sing bible songs together. My daughter asked to go to school every day. In the classroom she was taught days of the week, letters, counting, cutting skills, etc but also got plenty of play time. This is a small program where everyone knows everyone else and that means a lot in this big world! You will love it! – Ellen S.

My 10yo really struggles with basic number sense and also has dyscalculia. Phillip at Mathnasium in Madison started working with him and we saw results almost immediately. My son has gained confidence, caught up to his grade level, and is excited about math again. Honestly, I was hesitant at first because of the price tag, but now I’m a believer.

I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for day care or pre-school for your toddler. When I found MSH I was not thinking about school yet, but since my first visit I never had a second thought that this was where I wanted my son. I hope that he will stay through 6th grade in this amazing school. Every child at this school is amazing, a true testament to how this method of teaching can build intelligent, independent leaders for the next generations. – Amber
My son has been going to Montesssori School of Huntsville for 4 years now. I have been amazed at his progress and education. I am a firm supporter of the Montessori Method and have implemented many of the ideas and tools at home. I plan to keep my son in MSH for as long as we can. Molly R.
Our son has been attending Montessori School of Huntsville for over a year, and we couldn’t be happier. There is such a huge benefit to starting your child off with a montessori education. When we first went to the school to learn about the methods of montessori we were taken aback by the calm atmosphere and the independence of the children. We were amazed! We met our son’s teachers and spoke with them before we chose to send him there. I cannot say enough about the wonderful teachers and staff at the school. They are there to help your child grow individually, and they put their hearts into it. My son is 3 1/2 and he loves school and loves to learn. I credit that in large part to Montessori School of Huntsville. If you are considering Montessori school I suggest you check it out like we did – take a tour and learn about the method…you won’t be disappointed! – Ava

We are so thankful that the Randolph School is in our community! Our son absolutely loves to go to school! The curriculum gives children a well-rounded education which includes art, music, science lab, computer, foreign language and physical education. I highly recommend Randolph to all families looking for a high academic school that truly loves its students and pushes them to succeed! We are overwhelmed by the opportunities at Randolph and the education we are giving our son. He is so excited to attend school every day! – Lindsay R.
This summer was the 1st time doing camps at Randolph. Our children (K, 2nd, 4th) had a blast! They looked forward to going each morning even with having to get up and leave early since it was a 30+ min drive there. – Lisa M.
The summer camps at Randolph are amazing and the teachers are great. They are worth the money and would recommend the camp to anyone who asks. – Jennifer S.
