Parent Reviews
We love LADC at Trinity. Our son has been there for two years. The staff are caring, thoughtful, and communicative. The curriculum is age appropriate and they get lots of time to exercise their bodies and minds. LADC administrative staff are responsive and helpful.
Our family was impressed with the level of communication that we received about program content on a consistent basis. Additionally, the teachers were responsive to our questions and would often follow up to ensure all was well. A program component that we utilized frequently with our schedules was Before Care. It was reassuring knowing that, even in the early morning program , the children were given gross-motor opportunities for open-play. As a family, we had many opportunities to emotionally invest in the program through volunteering to support classroom projects, visiting the classroom as guest-readers or working on engaging at-home activities connected to the week/monthly theme.
This discovery center is nothing short of amazing. I would recommend them 100% to family or friends. I have had 2 boys who have both gone there for years. The teachers still remember my oldest sons name even after he was in elementary school. All the staff are some of the best and safety is always a top priority. Hands down 5 out of 5 stars!!!
