What our parents are saying

What you have is something so incredibly needed in our world right now: a place to belong, a place to be safe, a place to grow and be challenged and be loved.

Cornerstone Parents

The teachers didn’t just care for our boys- they LOVED them and cared about them. You have a special place with SUPER special teachers loving and shaping all of these little people.

Cornerstone Parents

Cornerstone is our biggest blessing - exceeds expectations - and knows what we need before we know what we need.

Cornerstone Family

I am very grateful for the resources, teachers, and level of care and development of my children at Cornerstone.

I'm so blessed to have found a school as amazing as Cornerstone. I'm a very protective mom but I feel a sense of security sending my children to Cornerstone.

Cornerstone Parent

You all are so attentive to the children and loving it warms my heart. Thank you for all your kindness and patience.

Cornerstone Parent

Greeting each child and parent enthusiastically by name every single morning is unfortunately not always the case in schools and daycares. It shows that you guys care and love the children.

Cornerstone Parent

[Our child] loves coming to daycare, and your cheerful smiles and gracious greetings make pick and drop off so easy. We love the community at Cornerstone and couldn't do it without you.

Cornerstone Parents

Thank you all for creating such a wonderful environment for all of the kids that walk through your doors each day. Cornerstone is a special place and I am so thankful to be part of the community.

As a parent, there is no better feeling than knowing that not only is your little one safe while he's away at school, but he's also loved and having a ball. You all are the best!

Cornerstone Parent

I truly appreciate how dedicated you all are with caring for my child and all the children of Cornerstone. Throughout the years I've built a strong relationship with many of the staff members and consider them family.

I am so grateful that [my daughter] is a Cornerstone kid. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thank you so much for creating such a loving and supportive environment for [our son]! He comes home happy every day and is learning so much.

You all are really super heroes in my book. I know when I drop off [my son] he's in good hands, and I'm reminded with the smile on his face when I pick him up.

Cornerstone Parent

Thank you for your constant creative and thoughtful care!

Cornerstone Parents

Thank you for taking care of and loving [our daughters]. They absolutely love school, mainly due to the relationships they have with the teachers and staff. We could not have asked for a better loving, supportive school for them.
