A New Day Child Development Center

Love, Love Love A New Day! I toured several other «highly recommended» preschools and they seemed like institutions to me. Babies were crying, teachers looked like zombies, no one seemed to be having a good time. At a New Day it’s more like a home. Children are loved and nurtured and everyone has a smile when you walk in. My daughter takes a while to get accustomed to new things, and they went out of their way to make her transition successful. So refreshing and exactly what I was looking for!

I am very happy with my son’s progress here. He has learned numbers, shapes, and colors within a month of attending the school– he also started saying please and thank you! And he just turned 2. Irma and her staff are so thoughtful, caring, and are excellent teachers! My husband and I continue to be impressed.

My husband and I LOVE this place! We actually pulled our daughter out of Primrose in favor of A New Day. For the 12 + months we had her at this well-​respected pre-​school, we had a ridiculously hard time convincing her to go. It was excruciating to know how much she didn’t want to go, yet finding no visible reason to quit sending her. We finally made the switch when we were looking to cut expenses and drive time. After a couple of days, we noticed the first sign that we’d done the right thing. We went inside to pick her up. She was busy at the arts and crafts table. I gently ran my fingers through her hair and she didn’t turn around to see who had touched her. WHAT?! At Primrose, she would whip her head around to see who it was and either begin crying (I assume with relief) or drop what she was doing to grab her backpack and want to get going STAT. But on this day, she continued her craft even after she realized we were there to pick her up. I took this as an indicator that she probably receives a good amount of affection. In the mornings, she’s eager to get dressed and get to school to see her friends. Ms. Irma keeps us informed as to how she’s doing — just yesterday we got a text letting us know that our daughter had been coughing. I was able to stop by the pharmacy and pick up saline spray before picking her up. («A» is for Austin and Allergies!) Ms. Irma cares deeply about the children and it shows. She runs A New Day like a well-​oiled machine and I have full confidence in leaving my precious cargo with her. I can’t believe we waited this long to make the better choice!

Fantastic alternative to staying home with our son! When we lost hope of securing a spot in any of the schools we visited, we found Ms. Irma and her school and knew we were in the right place. That first day of wonder and uncertainty was alleviated by the multiple text and photos regarding our son’s progress and smiles of his first day of school. The staff is top notch regarding each teacher: loving, caring and nurturing. Whether a regular school day, theme day or field trip day, the kids are safe, nurtured and taught something special toward creating a foundation of learning in each child. We are grateful to Ms. Irma for creating such a place for our son to spend his day!
