Jordan Child & Family Enrichment Center

Our daughter has been at the Jordan center since she was 8 months old when we unexpectedly lost our nanny. As I think many people are, I was kind of heart broken at the idea of sticking her in a class room full of other kids at such a young age. Ten months later I couldn’t be more happy with our choice.
The first thing that I noticed was that the staff was constantly down at the kids’ level, on the floor, getting crawled on, hugging kids. It turns out that the staff at the Jordan center are pretty highly trained, the head teacher in our daughters infant class room had just completed her masters degree in early childhood education. They also have a very low turnover rate for staff and so I think staff develops real bonds with the kids.
I am constantly amazed by the things my daughter is learning from being in this environment. The other day I asked her where her ears were and she got a big smile on her face and pointed. Her language and physical skill acquisition have been excellent and her social skills are outstanding. I loved our nanny but I honestly don’t think we would go back to an at home nanny, I feel like she would really be missing out.
In the mornings, my daughter will bring me her coat (which she in convinced is a prerequisite for leaving the house, no matter what the weather) and points to the door. She runs in to her class room happy and is smiling when we pick her up.
