Words simply cannot describe the appreciation I have for Noah’s Ark. Having the confidence dropping off everyday knowing that my son is loved and cared for is the best feeling any parent could have. The staff are simply the best and provide a great atmosphere for all kids. I truly could not imagine sending or recommending to send any kid anywhere else!

Our daughter has been attending Noah’s Ark for the past four years. It is much more than a daycare; it’s a consistently positive and nurturing communal environment. It feels much like an extension of home. The teachers are so loving and skilled. I cannot thank them enough. I am so grateful that we found Noah's Ark!

We have had the most incredible experience at Noah's Ark with both our toddler and infant for the last two years. The teachers are loving, engaging, and treat our family like their own. My son runs into his teacher's arms every day and is so excited and happy to see them, you can tell they have such a strong bond.
We have very clear communication on diaper changes, feedings/meals, any illness, and any accident reports. We have recommended Noah's Ark to all friends and family who are expecting in the area. Audrey and Alise (the center directors) both have tons of experience and they know each and every child at the center by name. Our toddler has learned so much at school and has been taught sign language, manners, and they have conferences with us where we discuss their developmental and behavioral growth.
We could not be happier with Noah's Ark. They made us feel very comfortable bringing our first baby almost two years ago and it really feels like a second home to our kids now. The teachers are so sweet, we have even had some of them babysit for us in the evenings. Would absolutely recommend to anyone searching for care.

Noah’s Ark is a great place. My daughter has been so loved while she attends! Every adult knows who she is and says hello when she is around. Even her past teachers take the time to give her a big hug when she comes or celebrate her new skills!
I feel like I can be at my job, focusing on my work and not worrying about how she is doing and how she is taken can of. I trust them and know they are supporting her. Thanks for all your love to the kids who are at Noah’s Ark!

Amanda Sullivan1 reviewiTotal number of Google reviews Amanda has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Noah’s Ark has been a phenomenal place for our two children to grow up in during their early years. Our oldest has been at Noah’s Ark since 2019 and recently our youngest started this past spring.
The care, attention, and support our children have received over the last many years has been incredible. Both have been able to achieve important milestones as a result of being at Noah’s Ark and we couldn’t be more thankful.
From potty training, to developmental growth with vocabulary and art, to physical activities like weekly soccer practices and constant play outside - Noah’s Ark is truly an amazing place to send your children and call home as they grow up.
We highly recommend Noah’s Ark!
