Hear What Parents Have To Say...
East Bank has been a part of our lives for over 10 years, it truly is a magical place. When I drop my daughter off it feels like she is with family all day. The HighScope curriculum makes learning fun for her while also setting her up to excel in elementary school and beyond. We are grateful that a place like this exists. Knowing your child is happy and thriving all day is a big relief as a parent.

We looked at so many childcare centers, and East Bank was the only one that made us feel at home as soon as we walked through the door. The teachers and staff know every child’s name - even the ones they haven’t taught yet! As an educator, I love the play-based curriculum, and I’m so grateful that my son is excited to go to school every day. He is known and loved at East Bank, and he is learning so much each day!

We are so glad EBLC was recommended to us and is now part of our lives! The teachers and staff are so welcoming every day and I am so grateful to have such good lines of communication with the team. Our girls just love it here, love all the teachers and I truly feel that their best interests and individual needs are put first. It’s so fun to hear what things they’re learning and what activities they get to do each day. We love EBLC!

We sent our first child (of four) to East Bank in 2017. Selecting child care is one of the hardest things to do in life. From day one, we have always felt safe and have had the utmost confidence in the loving and nurturing environment that our children receive here. And when it has come time for them to move on, we have found that each one has been exceptionally prepared by the High Scope Curriculum. We'd never recommend anywhere else.

We are thankful to EBLC for all that they do for our son. Teachers’ individualized attention, interactions, patience, planned activities and updates provided to us parents demonstrate their tireless efforts in ensuring the safety and happiness of our son, and our peace of mind. We also appreciate EBLC leaders’ communication to us of their future plans for any process improvements and plans of action. All this to say, we can see EBLC truly cares and are grateful for their passion and dedication everyday.
