He Can't Wait to Start the Day with Us

What keeps kids – and their parents – excited about our Child Development Center? Karmen Benson, the mother of Kruz, shares her CDC story.

There are many benefits since enrolling Kruz in the center. He has always been really advanced, but he has excelled more since starting at the center. This includes learning numbers and words, forming complete sentences, and telling stories. The community and friendships have impacted Kruz as well with his social skills. 

Although he doesn’t have siblings, he shares and plays great with other kids. He loves playing outside with his little pals and also looks forward to the different activities daily done in class. The movement room, fun and creative activities, and the natural playground allow Kruz to use his imagination. 

The staff is always helpful and friendly. Initially, I was nervous about sending Kruz to daycare, but I can’t think of any other place I’d rather send him. I trust the staff and Ms. April is amazing as well! All the staff know Kruz and make sure he is safe and happy as they do with all the kids.
