Favorite Memory

Our favorite experience has been the Thanksgiving lunch. I can see all the effort that is put into it. I like that we can all come together and have that experience with the other families and kids. Plus the food is delish!

Positive Experience

The day Maia Williams came home speaking Spanish and knowing all of her colors in Spanish. She was so eager to go to school everyday. Also celebrating and marching in the Halloween Parade at Kidz Ink

Favorite Memory

My favorite memory at kidz ink is when they went on field trips and we had teachers engaging in all the activities even when they went swimming. Also the positive experience that we have is how the teachers help the children do their homework and my child talks highly about the teachers helping him with his homework and making sure that he stays on task.
