So far we've had two of our children attend NCP, and anxiously await the time our third child will attend. We could not hope for a better place for our children to thrive and learn in such a supported and loving environment. Our children have been encouraged to be themselves and to explore and learn their worlds. The educators truly know each child, their likes and dislikes and encourages their learning in a way that works for them as individuals. The educators provide stability for the children as there is no high staff turnover. There is a real sense of familiarity and comfort and we feel reassured our children are safe, respected and getting the most out of their time at preschool. The children's joy and smiles at the end of each day and their keenness to get there each morning are a testament to the environment of NCP. The real sense of community is also something truly special about NCP, it feels like family. We're forever thankful to the beautiful educators for the special space they've created and feel truly lucky to have our children be part of such a beautiful community for learning and thriving in their early years.
