Our son has been going to Dot to Dot for 6 months now. We have seen great improvements in his communication and social skills since he joined dot to dot. The teachers and staff are amazing. They show a lot of love and care for the children and we trust them completely. They have creative art and music activities and activities to develop their fine motor skills and language. The outdoor playground is beautiful and feels like a natural space in the woods. We absolutely love the school and drive a considerable distance just so that we can send our son to this school. He loves school too and asks to go to school during the holidays as well.

The teachers are very caring and cater to the needs of each individual child. The school management is friendly and professional. The classroom is well designed and they have so many educational toys. Their food education program is unique and teaches children about different foods. Lunch and snacks being provided at school is a huge plus. Our son loves going to school everyday and playing with his friends. We feel safe and happy whenever we drop him off at school.

We are very happy with Dot to Dot Childcare Center! The staff are incredibly caring and kind, creating a warm and welcoming environment. My daughter loved the daycare from day one, which was a huge relief for us—especially since she’s not always the easiest child to settle in new places. We are so glad we found this wonderful childcare center and feel reassured knowing our daughter is in such good hands. Highly recommend!

It’s been over a year since i pulled my youngest son out of this school, but i still feel this review is important for all the below reasons.

1. Negligence /safety issues
2. Not reporting cases
3. Unprofessional teacher/staff
4. Dismissing child’s concern
5. Lack of activity in the classroom

This review is purely for my youngest son who was there for six months but was left him completely traumatised. One of the child in the classroom was throwing toys / items at my son and it impacted him a lot. Cases were not being reported and when asked, teacher said the other child is still learning to process his emotions more efficiently. No steps were taken to make sure my child is safe. Incidents happened multiple times and none were reported. Sometimes it was paint, sometimes toys, etc. My son was scared to go to school. Every other day there used to be new staff in the classroom and none were aware of this situation and they let the other child be next to him. He was impacted emotionally & psychologically. I strongly feel teacher was unqualified, unskilled, unprofessional, lazy & uncaring. The staff was not helpful in spite of raising concerns about teacher. During drop off i had witnessed teacher eating kids snacks that was supposed to be served to kids later that day. My son used to hysterically cry during drop off and during pick up he was still crying. Every staff member told me he will be fine in few. I am glad that one day after dropping him off i waited in car a little longer to go check on him and see if any of the staff members helped calm him down but they did nothing. I just went in and picked up my son and walked away.
None of the staff members/ owner reached out to follow up. This truly speaks volumes about the school.

Be wise and make a better choice.
Somethings are too good to be true. I am happy with my decision & grateful for his new positive experience.

Some good teachers, particularly senior ones, but overall Dot-to-Dot academy is an outrageous example of unprofessional management which dictates every single aspect of day-to-day activities from how a kid must play, which classmate a kid must play with to what the kid must eat or must say. Do your kids a favor and stay away from Dot-to-Dot.

We have had our 2nd daughter enrolled at Dot to Dot for the past year and a half. We could not be happier with the care and compassion she receives at this school. All of the teachers are professional, caring and kind. The space of the school itself is open, bright, clean and happy. Art is a big focal point and evident when you walk through the door. Our daughter always comes home happy, nourished and loved. Dot to Dot has exceeded our expectations for working hours childcare needs.

My daughter LOVES this preschool! The teachers and administration are caring, intuitive and well educated, the facilities are adorable and utilize a lot of natural elements and the students are taught social skills, how to manage emotion and teamwork in addition to normal academic topics. My younger daughter is SO excited to be able to start there in the fall too!
