"My son and daughter go to Little Zaks Thornton 1 and absolutely love it! I’ve seen such an amazing change in my 3 year old son compared to his previous daycare. My daughter is only 1 and she loves all her educators so much which makes drop off times so much easier. All the educators are amazing and go above and beyond for my children and Hayley the director is so great! I wouldn’t go anywhere else!" - Analise
