I visited several day cares when we were making our decision, and Dayspring was the best by far. We have never regretted our decision! Our son was 18 months old when he started, so it was a difficult transition for both of us, but the teachers really made him feel comfortable. He is now 2 and knows his teachers and friends by name and is excited to go every day! He already knows his ABCs and can count to 13. He knows colors, shapes, and letters. They have water play during the summer once a week that he absolutely adores.When it came time to put my second son in day care at 12 weeks old, it was an easy decision to send him to Dayspring. They accommodated him on short notice when my other arrangements fell through. He was not doing well with his bottle, but they worked with him happily and lovingly. He now loved going to daycare every day and recognizes his teachers faces.They really get to know each child and their unique personalities and needs, and nurture and care for each one with love and respect. I would not put my children anywhere else!

We absolutely love Dayspring. They are great with both of our kids and offer lots of extras like parents night out. None of my friends can believe that they offer such a great service like that. It sure is nice to be able to enjoy a night out without finding and paying for a sitter. The teachers are great with both of my kids and I can tell they are learning so much since they transferred to Dayspring 6 months ago.

For two years, our daughter has been blessed to attend Dayspring daycare. This loving experience has definitely enriched her life. The staff at Dayspring is wonderful. They exceed our expectations in the God-focused learning environment of Dayspring. The classrooms are clean and comfortable and the facility is safe. We could not imagine our daughter having a better learning and growing experience than what she has at Dayspring.

School for Amazing Kids in Helena has been an answer to prayers for us. We moved to Helena recently and this is the second place my girls have attended since moving. It is a clean, welcoming, and safe environment that my 3yr old LOVES going to everyday. I also have an 8 month old that I never question her care. They are such a nurturing group of people and we are so grateful to be able to attend SFAK Helena. I would recommend this school to anyone.

We dont call Dayspring daycare because we call it school. It is such a great environment for kids to learn, but the children still have time to enjoy free play. My daughter can already write her first name and is now learning how to write her last name. She knows her letters and most of her sounds. She can also count to 100. She loves her teachers and her friends. We will miss Dayspring next year!

I absolutely love Dayspring! The teachers are great and I feel safe leaving my child on a daily basis. Its like a home away from home for my daughter. Its is by far the cleanest daycare that i have ever been in! I also love how much my daughter has learned in just over 6 months! I am so very glad we finally found the perfect fit for our family. I would highly recommend them!

After being skeptical concerning placing our (at the time 6 month old) twin boys in child care, my husband and I were immediately at ease after our initial visit of the School of Amazing Kids, Helena because we could feel the genuine love and care the staff has for kids. Since they have been attending school we can see a major development in our boys in just a short period of time! Not only that, but the same love and care we could see from the staff shown to our boys, we can see the love returned from our boys to the staff in their interaction with them. I would totally recommend School of Amazing Kids, Helena to anyone looking for child care where kids are loved and taught!

We have an 18 month old currently enrolled at Dayspring, and he is learning so much. They have such a great environment for the kids like a huge playground, activity mats, and plenty of toys. They always greet him by name with a smile.This daycare is always extremely clean. They provide free coffee in the morning, which is nice to have if you ever forget to make your own. My son always looks forward to the gummy bear they give him on his way out. I think this is a wonderful daycare.

From the time I walked through the door at Dayspring Childcare Inc. I felt like a lost child that made it home. The Director and Co-director were so welcoming to me. My first time talking to Tina Logan she was very real and straight forward with me. She answered all of the questions I had for her. She made sure that she told me that if I had any question while on the tour to feel free to ask them. I am a first time parent with a child in daycare for the first time, so this was a somewhat emotional day. My child had been home with her grandmother for the first year-and-a-half of her life. I was SO worried! Would she adjust well? Would she know how to play with the other kids and share the attention? Would she be able to understand the new schedule she would be on? These are all questions that filled my mind! I was so nervous until I met her fantastic teachers! They assured me that she would do fine and that they would work with her until she felt comfortable. The amount of patience and time they invested with her was remarkable! I could call at any time that I wanted and I thought that was really reassuring. I am completely in love with the care that my child gets at Dayspring and I would highly recommend it to anyone who asked me. Dayspring makes you feel like more than just a daycare center they make you feel like part of their family!

My 2 year old son loves Dayspring. Every morning we pull up he is ready to run in the door. When we walk in we are greeted by friendly faces. I love that he gets excited to be there, it makes me feel so much better that he is happy. I like how clean the facility is and how caring the every member of the staff is. They make sure no child is left out. My son loves the playgroud and all the games they play.

My son has been here since he was 9 months old, hes 4 now. There has never been a day when Ive been worried about the care of my child at School for Amazing Kids, Helena. He has been there for almost 4 years and the same teachers are still there. I know that my child is in good hands every day he is dropped off!

We LOVE this school and the staff! Both of my children have attended this school since the day I had to return to work after my maternity leave with each of them. My daughter is 5 years old and my son is 2 years old. This school has such a low turn over rate that the same sweet teachers that taught my daughter are now teaching my son. They both love their teachers, and dont miss me or my husband too much during the day while we have to be at work. I cant ask for anything more than my childrens happiness while we are apart. Both of them learn so much more than I could ever imagine being able to teach them myself. I am confident that my daughter is ready for Kindergarten next year! They have activities for the children any chance they get (water play during the summer, Fall Festival at Halloween, pictures with Santa at Christmas, visits from the Easter Bunny, class parties for the holidays, In Tune Kids with Mr. Brad).

We love Dayspring!! The staff is excellent, very friendly and personable, they love my daughter so much and all the kids there like their own, I dont feel that bad going to work because I know that shes happy there and well taken care of. They are very good at keeping the parents involved and aware of what goes on in class each day. My daughter has learned so much not just academically but values as well. I also love that it is Christian based, she learns about Jesus and memorizes verses. We are very grateful for all they do. Its an awesome school!

School for Amazing Kids Helena has been a true blessing to our family. For the longest time, we didnt know it existed because its well-hidden off the road! Our family had been attending a sister School for Amazing Kids school a little further away. We requested a transfer to the Helena location as a convenience to our family. BOTH locations were helpful through the transition, and as a bonus, there was NO re-enrollment or transfer fee!We have found the care at SFAK Helena to be kind and cordial, professional, and convenient. The administrators treat you like people instead of a number or client. Our child is happy and well-adjusted, dare I even say rotten because of the way the staff loves her well while she is in their care! We love School for Amazing Kids and think that you would too!

We are so grateful for the sweet people at Dayspring! They are so loving and caring to our baby. It makes me feel so much better about taking him to daycare knowing the love and care that he receives. They even take time with the parents too, my first day to drop off my baby, I cried like most parents do. Two of the teachers prayed with me, then I knew without a doubt that we had found right place!

My husband and I toured several daycares when looking for a place for our 3 month old. Dayspring was the last place on our list and we knew immediately that this was the one for us! They have far exceeded our expectations. Our son is almost two now and we are always getting compliments on how smart he is. My reply to them is that he attends a great preschool! He learns so much every day and the staff is amazing!

The teachers and staff at SFAK Helena are wonderful! I was always extremely nervous about having my children in daycare. I wanted to ensure that they were learning stuff during the day and not picking up the bad habits of other children. Enrolling my children here was the best decision I could have made. They learn constantly without being stressed out and are taught good manners and behavior through positive reinforcement. I know my children are in the best hands.

If you are looking for an excellent daycare, you should visit Dayspring Child Care. Our 2 year old son has been going here for about 9 months now. We are very pleased. I feel that the price is reasonable, the security is advanced, the staff does a great job keeping everything sanitary, and I feel that they genuinely love my all of the kids there. Our son used to cry when we left him each day at his old daycare. Since hes been at Dayspring, he actually seems excited to go to daycare each day. We really love this place.

My family has been nothing but happy with the care our daughter has received at Dayspring. I see evidence daily that she is well taken care and loved by the entire staff. Staff members that dont have daily contact with her know her name and speak to her when we pass them in the hall or office. I have seen her learning development grow by leaps and bounds since she started at Dayspring a year ago. She loves her teachers and is happy to go to school every day. The toddler program is run like a kindergarten class and I closely compare it to my older daughters kindergarten experience.

School for amazing kids, Helen has truly been a blessing for me and my child. Being his first real child care I was a bit nervous for him. The staff and all the teachers there have made it so comfortable and such an easy transition for my little one! I couldnt be more impressed. He now enjoys going to school and hes learning so much! He looks forward to seeing his teachers and friends, also getting his gummy at the end of the day. School for amazing kids Helen has went above and beyond as a school in my eyes. I would recommend everyone come check them out if your looking.

School for Amazing Kids has been a blessing in my sons life! The staff is always friendly and loving towards my little one. Coming to school each day is a pleasure, we are always greeted with smiling faces and How are you today big man? When my son walks into this Daycare/School he feels like a big Boy. In the last year my son has developed such a love for learning and going to school because of School for Amazing kids Pre K program. I have no doubt that the transition from the Pre K program to kindergarten will will be extremely easy! Than k you so much School for Amazing kids for the AMAZING learning experience for my child!

This daycare has been a wonderful place for my two children to attend. The teachers and staff are kind and really treat my children like family. My two year old son is happy to go to school every day because the staff makes learning enjoyable. He is always surprising us with his learning. He learned his days of the week, months of the year, and counting up to twenty already. He loves to sing and comes home singing songs he has learned at school.My daughter is five months old and is happy as she can be at school. She loves to interact with the other babies throughout the day. My wife and I never have to worry about our childrens well-being while we are at work.Dayspring is like a family away from home. Its also very affordable. My wife and I are both teachers. They offer a teacher and multi-child discount which is really helpful.

Being a new mother, I was terrified to return to work after my maternity leave. I didnt know who would be taking care of my son. My mother helped to take care of him for six weeks after I returned to work to help make the adjustment with a child easier. I was looking for a childcare place that I would love and felt safe for him to be at while I was working. I found the School for Amazing Kids in Helena and checked them out. The teachers in the Infant 1 class make my little boy smile every day and make his safety a top priority! Thank you for helping to care for my son! If you are looking for childcare, the School for Amazing Kids in Helena is the place!!!

Our kids have been at Dayspring for about a month now and they love it, and so do we. Our three year old loves to tell us about what he has learned that day. The staff and teachers are great and very friendly. Everyone knows the kids names, even teachers not in their rooms. Tina and Dana, the directors, are great. Our three year old loves that he gets a gummy bear each afternoon if he has been good all day, so far he hasnt missed one. Not sure if that is the structure, activities, or gummy bears! We love the school because they want parents involved and have activities that include the parents, like donuts with dad for Fathers Day and theme parties.

I love Dayspring Daycare! My child looks forward to seeing her teachers every day. Since being enrolled in Dayspring she has learned more than what I could have fathomed. She will come home and point out specific shapes and colors, which is not something she was doing before starting school at this center 6 months ago. I would recommend Dayspring to anyone I met that was having anxiety issues with placing a child in daycare. The staff here is phenomenal and they make me feel a sense of peace when I drop my child off every day.

I love everything about Dayspring! As a new mom I was so terrified to send my son to daycare and have someone else care for him that I did not know, but Dayspring staff made me comfortable. They are so nice and caring! Elijah loves all his teachers and the teachers loves him and you can tell they care so much for each child! The directors are so easy to talk to! I know when I am at work I know my child is safe and well taken care of.

I remember searching around the area (Alabaster to Pelham) when I was six months pregnant and worried sick about putting my newborn in childcare; until I met Dana and the staff. I felt so comfortable the minute I walked in the door. Love the staff at dayspring! I dropped my baby off for the first time when she was 8 weeks for 6 hrs. (To help me transition into going back to work). Of course as a new mom I was torn up about leaving my baby, however, after talking with Ms. Sharon (infant 1 Lead teacher) I felt better. She saw how upset I was & asked if she could pray with me. She prayed for me to find strength and gain trust in them; among other things. Immediately I felt relieved, just to know she was not only looking out for my babys best interest, but mine as well made me feel so much better. Baby had a great day and I received nothing but praises from them when I picked her up. I greatly appreciate all the staff for helping me make this transition. Everyone has been great and has helped make it a smooth one. Best place to take your child! I loved them when she was 8 weeks and still do at 10 mo. GREAT PLACE TO BE A KID!

My daughter has attended Daysprings since she was about a year old. I am amazed at how much she has learned and grown over the past few years.The staff is always super nice and the facility is always clean.

First of all, we are so thankful to Dayspring Child Care! We moved our daughter there when she turned one year old, because the daycare she was in, was nothing more than a babysitter. When we took our tour of Dayspring, we could tell that their center provided so much more than just babysitting... they are they to teach your child and prepare your them for school.Our daughter is now over two years old, and comes home daily with new words and expressions. As a mother, I have always felt guilty about not being able to stay home with my child, but I know now that Dayspring is offering her so much more than I ever could! We are always greeted with friendly faces and we know that our child is well taken care of!

When we first moved to Helena, we looked at several places for our then four-year old to attend. My wife and I were impressed with professionalism of the establishment. After enrolling our son, we found a very caring place where the teachers and staff took an interest with our son. My greatest endorsement for Daysprings is the fact that when it came time to choose a daycare for our daughter, we did not even consider any other place, it was Daysprings for us. Being in a more social environment and in the midst of the schools curriculum, our daughter has blossomed from her shy, introverted shell. As if a good educational program wasnt enough, its the little things that Daysprings does, that mean a lot to us, such as a Valentines dance for the children, a Fall Festival, parents shopping days for Christmas and many more.

Daysprings is a wonderful place for childcare! We are new parents to our almost 5 month old baby, and choosing a daycare was a huge deal for us. Although our baby cant tell us how great Daysprings is, the smiles when dropping off and picking up says it all!The teachers in the infant room are amazing. They have the patience and knowledge needed for their job. Im so thankful for that, especially since our little one hated taking a bottle for her first few weeks of daycare. The only negative I find is the size of the infant room, but the people who work there and the affordable cost outweigh that!Were so happy we chose Daysprings!

My son has been attending SFAK-Helena for fourteen (14) months. I have been pleased with the quality of education that he has received. The staff at SFAK-Helena are very personable and they truly care about each child that attends the center. The staff has gone above and beyond for my son to make certain that his experience at the center is memorable. My son is now in the Pre-k class and he is always excited to do his homework on Tuesdays and Thursdays. He is even more excited about his daily progress folder. I would recommend SFAK-Helena to anyone! An awesome learning environment for all children.

Daysprings is in my opinion the best in the state! When my 9 year old was in daycare I went through 6 daycares before deciding that she just needed to stay with her grandparents while I worked. It was hard to leave her when she was younger and none of the daycares I tried made it any easier. When I knew it was time to find my 3 year old a daycare I dreaded it! I posted online to see if anyone had any recommendations, withing about 30 minutes I had NUMEROUS recommendations for Daysprings.The next day me and my husband set up a tour. Tina was amazing and made sure that all of our questions were answered. Dana handled the registration for Lilly and was also amazing. I was still unsure about putting her in daycare because of past experiences. Dana called me at least once a week seeing if I had any questions. Finally about 4 weeks late we decided to give them a try. I DO NOT REGRET IT ONE BIT! The staff at Daysprings made me feel very comfortable leaving my daughter in their care. Lilly absolutely loves everyone their! She has progressed so much since starting there and I am so glad I made the decision to choose Daysprings.
