Parent Testimonials
I have four children who have been a part of the Kessel family for over the past ten years (and it does feel like a family). It’s nice to have a reliable daycare that you know will be there no matter what with staff that treats your children with love and extra care while you are working and unable to fill that role during that time. I enjoy that during the summer months they do extra activities with the children such as trips to the fitness center, parks, out for ice cream and other random little field trips. Also, the teachers are good about educating the children and keeping them on a schedule so that when all of my kids started school they were prepared and ahead because of what they had learned during their days at Kessel. I am thankful I have had a safe space for my kids throughout these past years!
