“So much of my child’s academic success I attribute to their early start in KinderCollege. Our daughter has been at EmBe since she started daycare at 8 months old. Now that she is five and will be going to Kindergarten this fall, I look back on our experience with EmBe and I am so thankful that this team of caretakers helped raise my girl into the sweet and fun person she is. She has always felt that she can be 100% herself at EmBe – and that type of safe space and comfort fosters so much love and happiness.” – EmBe South Parent
