Parents' Comments
Parent #1
My twin boys are so happy at EDDC. I frequently recommend people to EDDC because it is a small school and has a very close-knit family environment. I like their flexible schedule they have 2,3,4, and 5 day a week classes. The prices are great and I feel great knowing my boys are in good hands when I am at work. Also, they do tons of art work which I really like. I have it hanging all over my house.
Parent #2
The separation subject was never an issue with my children especially since they attendes this day care facility from infancy. I do know that the teachers and director all assist in any way necessary to assist families that might have this sort of issue.
Parent #3
My son is only two, so there aren't to many goals at this point that would involve regular parent/teacher conferences.
Parent #4
Wonderful sense of community and little turn over with enrollees -as well as staff. Warm, caring and nurturing environment where they value parental input and participation.
Parent #5
This school has a great community of parents dedicated to the growth of their children socially and academically. It is a great support system for all types of families.

A Great Book Rhymes!
Kids are a funny bunch. They are often loath to change and anything new. But still, our little ones are open to so much -- and so much more than we more ossified parents are! Think of poetry: preschoolers happily read and repeat poems with ease and
