The quality of care at Manchester Early Learning Center is unsurpassed. I have two children who have been in various care settings (in-home private care as well as public centers) over the course of six years, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found affordable childcare close to home. The teachers at MELC are kind, compassionate, and meet children and families where they are. My children (one is school-aged, one is a toddler) both look forward to attending, and their lives have both been enriched since starting at MELC. Curriculum is developmentally-appropriate, Montessori-based, and best of all, children learn and are encouraged to express their creativity while playing and having fun. From an administration perspective, teachers and staff utilize prompt communication methods. My questions are answered quickly, even in the middle of the day. Moreover, children's safety is clearly a top priority. As a family with two parents who both work outside the home, we appreciate reliable childcare. You would be hard-pressed to find a better childcare setting in which children are encouraged to follow their own paths as they grow. What a true gem for early childcare!
