We believe that all children deserve high quality care.  Research shows that children who participate in a quality preschool program are more likely to succeed in school and in life than their peers who do not.

Here are some quotes from our parent survey:

“I felt supported through the transition period when my child first started daycare… I think the transition period was very important for us emotionally.”

“I appreciated the teacher parent conferences where we sat down together to go over expectations, schedules, and check in on how my child is doing.”

“It was important to find a school that offered community since we do not have family in the area, and the fact that we could have our child attend from infancy through kindergarten made us feel like BlueSkies would be able to offer that and a great choice for us.”

“My child is thriving and the teachers are so supportive of who she is as she grows.”
