My child has attended Twin Oaks Child Development for the past 3 years and is currently in the Pre-K 3 classroom. Twin Oaks Child Development Center does it right. They provide a curriculum based program with age-appropriate activities using different modalities to keep learning exciting and interesting. Play is both structured and un-structured. Learning centers provide structure in play-themes such as dress-up, cooking, reading, and building/construction. Un-structured play or free play allows for child-directed exploration and the development of creativity. Play is closely monitored and appropriate play is facilitated by the staff. Inappropriate behaviors are minimized with use of re-direction and positive re-enforcements. Behavioral expectations are realistic. Outside play is deemed important. As a result, my child has flourished in this environment. He is treated with kindness and respect; and knows that he is valued and important. He is nurtured and truly loved. All staff members know him, know his diet restrictions, know what makes him 'tick', what motivates him, what he likes, and what excites him. Strengths are recognized and his weaknesses are addressed. They know my goals and expectations for him, and work with me on achieving and exceeding those goals. He comes home with clean hands/face but filthy clothes, a good sign that he played hard. Dinner time is one of my favorite times, as he tell me excitedly about his day. Twin Oaks staff is actively engaged in my child's academic and social-emotional development, and they do a great job. If you want a school that whole-heartedly invests in your child, then Twin Oaks is for you. Cory Brainard, Pediatric Occupational Therapist

I knew Twin Oaks CDC was a great place when my children were excited to go to school and regularly talked about their teachers as much as the friends they have made. The staff does a great job of communicating and giving personal attention to our child’s needs. The curriculum and staff are obviously effective as both of our children come home regularly with some new skill and surprise us with what they have learned and can do. Parents of young children know they are sponges and there is plenty of good to soak up from Twin Oaks CDC. William Rehmann

Where do I begin about this remarkable place I get to call “home” for both of my children J My Mother owned an in home daycare for 35 years. When I became pregnant, I had zero worries due to my baby would get to go to this amazing in home daycare and also get to be with their grandparent. I never had a worry in the world and always knew she was taken care of, better than most. Unfortunately, my mother acquired more and more medical conditions as she aged, that kept her from not being able to be on her feet. I had to let go of being so comfortable and trusting and find a daycare that I would not need to worry 24/7 for my child’s health and education. I knew I wanted a daycare that had cameras from hearing all of the horror stories on the news about certain daycare centers. I also saw amazing reviews about TWIN OAKS on google which is something I like to look at a lot whether it be shopping or looking for a car. Real reviews tell all. Some are exaggerated, but you will see a pattern. I called every day to see if I could get my 3 year old in a twin oaks. They had a wait and my anxiety grew and grew. I got a phone call from Andrea who put my worries to ease. It’s not easy going from family to a business watching your child. Your child no longer “number one” and getting all the attention. Well needless to say….there are a TON of kids at twin oaks and the teachers treat my spoiled princesses just like their own. You could not find a more down to earth, honest, caring daycare. Mrs. Susan has really put her heart and soul into TWIN OAKS and I will forever recommend TWIN OAKS until my children are grown with their own. Michelle Santa Cruz
