Homework Support That Builds Confidence

Social-Emotional Growth for a Stronger Foundation

As children grow, their social-emotional needs change. Our teachers provide ongoing support to ensure your child feels heard and guided, fostering a sense of security as they navigate their school years.

They gain valuable life skills for future success as they make lasting friendships and memories.

Extensive background checks and character references are required before positions are filled. Five of my grandchildren have attended the establishment, and they were blessed by "Miss Phyllis'" gifted touch. Twenty years of service without negative reports is a testament of blessings and the work it takes for commendable early childhood education. The Sitter Inc is highly recommended.

The Sitter Inc. is family to me and my children. My 13-year-old son attended The Sitter starting at 6 years of age and still comes to speak to the staff and owner, Mrs. Phyllis!! The staff is absolutely amazing and loving, and very attentive to the children and parents. If I could give more stars, I would. Thank you, The Sitter Inc!!!!

"The teachers love my daughter, and my daughter's language and confidence have grown..."

Our 2-year-old has been attending The Sitter for almost a year, and we couldn't be happier. We left an all-white daycare/preschool that keeps kids separated in different rooms all day to join this multicultural school, which feels more like a family. The teachers love my daughter, and my daughter's language and confidence have grown tremendously. She has been blossoming, and we are very grateful.

"The Sitter has been heaven-sent to us, with all the great activities and information they provide..."

I am a first-time father and often ask the staff questions about everything from newborns to toddlers. They’ve been a huge help in my child’s development. I’m always amazed by the things my child learns. My wife and I often ask each other, ‘Is that new?’ ‘New skill acquired,’ we say. The Sitter has been heaven-sent to us, with all the great activities and information they provide. So, thank you to the crew and staff from the bottom of our hearts.

My daughter has been at The Sitter Inc. for the past eight months. Her teachers are great, and she loves them. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. As my daughter transitions to another class, I hope to have the same positive experience as before. I would definitely recommend it.

"Any concerns I may have had, whether in the past or recently, have been dealt with professionally..."

My son has been attending here for 2 years now. They always greet him when he comes in. Any concerns I may have had, whether in the past or recently, have been dealt with professionally. I have never heard any of the teachers who work with my son speak to him disrespectfully. The location is very convenient for us, and I love that I can get to him in less than 5 minutes if he isn’t feeling well. Working with children has to be something that teachers, directors, and owners truly love to do, and I can honestly say the teachers my son has had have loved the job and loved him.

"She loves it here; she gets excited when we approach, which lets me know she is treated well..."

My daughter has been under The Sitter's care since she was 3 months old, and she is now 2 going on 20. She loves it here; she gets excited when we approach, which lets me know she is being treated well. I've never had any issues—everyone has always been friendly, and they do a great job keeping me updated. If I ever felt the need to address something, the staff has always been open to concerns, followed up with me, and kept me in the loop. Whenever she isn’t feeling well, they contact me to check in on her, and they know her well enough to tell when she's not herself. Thanks for all the love you all give my little sour patch child. 😊
