Parent Testimonials
"As a working Mom, it was very difficult for me to return to work and leave my children for the day. Clapp Children's Center provided all I needed to feel my children were being well cared for as if at home. The loving staff cared for my four children in a safe and trusting environment. My oldest two children have now entered elementary school very well prepared cognitively and socially. My youngest two children still enjoy the center and bring many new discoveries home daily. Clapp Children's Center has been a blessing for our family."

"The Clapp Children's center played a fundamental role in my son's development and success. I was amazed at the level of competence of the teachers and the care and compassion that gave to every child. The curriculum in the preschool ensured that my son was ready to enter kindergarten. The children were always doing exciting projects and I couldn't wait to see what he was working on next. It gave me peace of mind, knowing that I could visit him during my lunch. Daily, I hoped that I might see him walking through the halls with his class. The exposure to seniors and to people with physical frailties instilled a sense of kindness for others in my son. The Clapp Chilren's Center was the best investment I ever made for my son."
