We have been at OUAT for 3 years and love it! The staff and curriculum are excellent. We have always appreciated how great communication is between parents and staff and know our kids are in good hands.

My son loved once upon a time when he was in preschool! I loved how much information they give you about the center and also the way they teach your child here. The openness and the teachers are awesome and so nice. I had no problems at all here and I can’t wait till my daughter starts going here!

The teachers are so nice and you can tell they love their jobs. The teachers take very good care of the kids and speak to you every time you come in with big smiles. My son loves coming to school here.

This school has been great for both our girls! Easy transition, the teachers all know their names and share fun things about their days with us, and the owner is amazing!! So happy we made the switch!

I am very impressed with my child's experience at OUAT. This is our second year and I am thrilled with the experience and education he is receiving. The teachers are incredible and very accessible. They always take the time to talk to me about my child and are phenomenal about keeping parents informed about the day's activities. I did a lot of research and visited several other options around the area and am so glad I found OUAT. DeDe runs a tight ship and it is clear from the smooth transitions, pick up/drop off times, and excellent communication. Security is phenomenal - I feel so safe having my child there.
