I did observations and interviews at a dozen preschools and daycare centers before we settled on Piccolo Nido for our daughter. We were really impressed with Dain Stoll’s talent, experience, enthusiasm for children, and sound educational philosophy. Since our daughter started we’ve been absolutely thrilled with how she’s been doing. She’s happy to go to daycare each day, she interacts well with the other kids, and she’s made good progress with her developmental milestones. We were amazed that a ten-month-old could actually do painting! Dain is very loving, peaceful and compassionate, and she watches the children to draw out their individual interests. Since the daycare is still small, we’re also glad that our daughter has had a virus-free transition.
