It was an anxious time for us but the staff were very understanding of our needs. They have supported our children as they navigated these big changes and we have watched them grow in a supportive environment that fosters learning through play and structured activities. They are very good at communicating with parents and always put our children first. The kids love coming here and we feel confident that they are well looked after. Highly recommend pearl street!
