Today, SDN is leading the way for childcare and early childhood education. We strive to instill creativity and imagination in our young learners. From the "Eat Well, Play Hard" program to our reading skills and art activities, children are challenged and cheered on.
All 4 of our children have attended SDN since their newborn age at 12 weeks. It never gets easier to leave your baby to return to work after maternity leave, but the staff at SDN has always offered their endless love to our children, leaving my husband and I confident that our babies were in the best of hands. SDN has truly been a “home away from home.” The staff has always reinforced the basic fundamentals we’ve taught at home: manners, sharing, potty training, hygiene, etc., and helped ensure our children were well prepared for elementary school. My now school-aged children often ask to return to SDN to visit their teachers. Picking SDN as our daycare provider 12 years ago was by far one of the best decisions we made as first time parents.
