Parents' Comments

Parent #1
Jack and Jill is a nursery, daycare and preschool. They currently teach VPK. My daughter attended 2 yrs there. She was more than prepare when she entered kindergarten this year. Their teachers are highly qualified and are consistently updating their knowledge attending workshops in our community college. Best of all it is a family environment, you can walk in at anytime of the day and witness a class in session. The children are feed healthy cooked meals(breakfast and lunch)everyday. I was impress and would highly recommend their services for your child.
