Wow. Looking over the other reviews, it appears most people feel the way I do about I CAN. I definitely can’t say enough great things about this “Learning Center”. They have data posted as soon as you enter the building confirming that those enrolled are in fact learning a lot!! The fact is 100% of the children who have gone on to Kindergarten have exceeded literacy benchmarks. That’s impressive for sure. And based on the comments, I can tell other parents are equally excited as I am that I CAN has created such an effective curriculum. I am a teacher myself, so I understand the importance of a quality education. Furthermore, I have to also mention that your reports from your licensing agent (The Department of Social Services) have been amazing, as I was sure to review them before even visiting. I read the review from Mr. Velasquez - every experience I’ve had with the Program Director and teaching staff has been a positive one. As a matter of fact, I think they work hard at ensuring that they maintain a ‘family’ environment. I’m wondering if he attempted to share his concerns with Administration, I’m sure any concerns would have been addressed immediately. Keep up the great work I CAN. I can’t thank you enough for all of your hard work to ensure that our little people are loved and are learning.

We love I Can! My children have been attending I Can for nearly 2 years. My oldest has flourished in the Ladders classroom. At 4, she is reading and spelling and its amazing to see how her handwriting skills have improved over the past year as I look through her classroom journal. Our two year-old is learning sight words and has been asking to trace letters and shapes at home! She talks constantly about playing outside with her class and the art projects. She was snuggled and loved so sincerely in Mirrors that when #3 was born, we knew she could not be in better hands. Our youngest recently transitioned to Windows and loves testing her independence. I Can Child Care & Learning is special; it is so much more than child care! Our girls are receiving an excellent education in a fun, safe environment. The teachers work with each child individually to ensure that they are being challenged to grown and meet milestones (and often exceed them)! We feel very fortunate to have such wonderful people in our lives.

Overall the facility, itself, is decent. The staff and their supposed curriculum is suspect. I dont about anyone reading this but my wife and I dont work our tails off for our income to be wasted at this "LEARNING CENTER". The tuition they charge is absurd considering they have move time just about everyday. We are not paying them close to $1000 a month so they can show my child a movie!! For our family, that is a treat! Last point and probably the most important! I dont know who the director thinks she is to give any parent unsolicited advice on their child. She insulted both my child and wife on the reason why my child acts the way she does and why we need daycare. The director said, "You shouldnt feel guilty about leaving your child here. You chose to work." Needless to say after that comment, my child does not attend "I CAN CHILD CARE..". ***We asked around and apparently we are not the only parents she has done this to. We found at least 4 other parents the director has done this to.

I enrolled my daughter in I Can almost a year ago when she was 18 months old. I had checked out a few other child care facilities and I am so glad that I chose I Can. The most important thing for me when it came to choosing a child care facility for my daughter, after her safety of course, was the amount of emphasis placed on education. I didnt want her to be in a facility that just allowed her to play all day. From the moment I walked in to I can and indicated my interest in enrolling my daughter I was given a handout showing how former students scored on reading and math tests once they moved on to kindergarten and I was thoroughly impressed. They were the only facility to show me anything like that. The entire staff is also amazing. The all seem to know all of the children by name and to care very deeply for them. I could go on and on about how amazing of an experience my daughter has had at I Can. My family will be moving soon and I wish I could take the I Can staff with us.

As I say this I mean it with my whole heart. I love I CAN. My daughter started there when she was about 18 months old. She only attended 11 months before we ended up moving away. It truly is amazing how much my baby girl has grown. And it wouldnt be this way if I didnt enroll her at I CAN. Teachers take so much to work with the little ones and teach them so much. They also make time with their busy schedule to meet with us and tell us our childs progress. I honestly can say they were like family. The saddest part about moving is losing this daycare. I will miss all the sheets I get telling me what their current lessons are teaching them. Ill miss being dog piled by my baby girl and her best friends. I know Ill never find a daycare as warm and welcoming as this. Who treated my baby as their own and loved her as I do. Ill never forget anyone at I CAN and when we come to town we will visit as long as youre open!!!!! (Seriously I wishi could take the daycare and everyone with me)

Our daughter is about to graduate on to Kindergarten and I can still remember her first week at I Can almost 4 years ago. She jumped leaps and bounds in so short of a time that I knew I would do anything to keep her at I Can until she "graduated". We went from a daycare that had a "color of the month" to a day care that helped our child learn the alphabet, primary colors, counting to 30, and even potty training all in just her first year. Our second child was also slated for I Can the second we found out my wife was pregnant. He too has grown into such a well developed toddler, at only 19 months!, which we can only contribute to I Cans wonderful curriculum and staff. I HIGHLY recommend if you want your child somewhere that will ensure they exceed the baseline requirements of Kindergarten that you consider sending them to I Can. Same goes for any future children we happen upon :)

I was new to the area and was looking for a daycare center that provided structure and enrichment for my two children. I have been very pleased with the director and the staff. Between my two children we have been there long enough to have experienced each of the 4 classrooms at I Can. The teachers are very friendly and great with each child. They take the time needed to speak with you and answer any concerns you may have to ensure you and your child are receiving the best care and reaching all developmental milestones. I am happy that my 3 year old is able to read his basic sight word books! The homework given in Ladders is excellent in keeping up with your childs education, development and their progression week after week! My soon to be 2 year old is progressing very well with counting, colors and shapes.
