###### **Testimonials**

## FROM THOSE WHO KNOW US BEST

As a new mom, I was nervous to leave my baby anywhere. But after joining The Children’s Center, I’ve loved every minute. Even in the infant class, they include the babies in activities and crafts in their own way. I never worry leaving my daughter with Ms. Dana — she lights up when she sees her every morning! Seeing that joy puts my mind at ease. I truly have nothing negative to say and am so grateful we get to be here.

##### Kristen Peeler

We absolutely love The Children's Center (that includes my kids). One of the only infant care options on the Island. We have enjoyed it so much we have brought our toddler over to attend. What they are learning and the updates we get on the kids makes me feel comfortable with them attending.

 

##### Jordan Dave

This is a resource I wish every community could enjoy! Working families on Hilton Head Island should know about this great choice for childcare and preschool. The Center has existed for decades as a safe, affordable, quality place for children ages 6 weeks through preschool. Tuition is on a sliding scale, it’s open year-round for 11 hours a day, and provides meals and snacks. I’ve volunteered here for years and see amazing, happy faces every time I walk in.

 

##### Christine McKeag

All the teachers are amazing! They all truly care for all of the children and get to know everyone, their students or not. I can’t say enough about how genuine all staff members at the Children’s Center are. I am proud to take my babies here and know they are always being extremely well taken care of each day. Thank you to everyone at the Children’s Center! Y’all are amazing!!!

 

##### B. E.

The Children's Center is one of Hilton Head Island's hidden gems. Its mission is to provide high quality day care and early childhood education to the children of area working families. The staff is professional and caring, and the Center's facility near Jarvis Creek Park provides a safe, affordable and nurturing environment for nearly 200 children from six months to eight years of age. Check it out and see what they have to offer. You will be impressed!

 

##### Robert Eberly Jr

I have been very impressed with The Children's Center on Hilton Head. The teachers, staff, and board members are invested in providing a loving, caring, and nurturing environment for the children. The children are engaged in enriching and educational experiences that promote growth. The Children's Center provides an affordable option for parents needing childcare.
