I just wanted to write to you for the OUTSTANDING care Angel and Eric receive at the Child Development Center. I can't even really explain how thankful I am that my children are part of this amazing school. I thought of Ms. White, Ms. Lucas, and Ms. Askin tonight when Angel was going to bed. We were reading nursery rhymes together, and as I was singing "Bah Bah Black Sheep", she started singing along. I'd never read it to her before! It seems that everyday, she will share something new with me that surprises me. The other day, she told me where the front, back, and spine of the book was. She is counting to 12 voluntarily, playing with blocks and counting using 1:1 correspondence, and acknowledging letters vs. numbers. These are things that I work on with my kindergarteners! Eric is progressing along at the same rate, suddenly taking an interest in books and coloring (without eating the crayons)! He loves Ms. Malcombe, Ms. Martin, and Ms. Winfrey (!) dearly.

You do such a fantastic job managing the school by keeping up with everyone and knowing EVERYONE by name. It makes life so much easier knowing that my children are loved and cared about by others when I have to leave them during the day. Angel is so excited to come each morning, regardless of the long hours she is there!

Thank you so much for the highest quality "second" home that I could ever want for my kids. You have made such an impression on me, and I wanted you to know. With much love and regards

“From the moment we set foot in the door, we were treated as if we were family. We worried about our son adjusting to a new environment and new teachers after leaving his previous school. We had no reason to worry… he walked in and was scooped up by the teacher with a huge smile. Our minds have been at ease ever since.”

“SCDC is a nurturing environment, not only for the kids, but for the community around them as well. The staff is family-focused and has a passion for maintaining a level of excellence in everything they do, continuing to strive for the best -- never settling for mediocre. At SCDC, I feel the best interest of my child (and all the children) is always a top priority. When I leave my daughter at Scottdale, I’m not just leaving her at school, but with family.”
