"I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking to go back to work or simply looking for some structure to your child’s day away from mommy, definitely get in touch with Ms Samantha. At first I didn’t want to send my then nearly 2 year old as I was a stay at home mom, but she flourished SO much!" -Olivia G

"Ms Samantha is a fabulous teacher. This is not a day care it’s a school! She teaches my son the alphabet, numbers, colors, shapes, they do science experiments, kid yoga, cooking, Spanish and the list goes on and on. My son learnt to spell his name by 2.5 years and Ms Samantha was the reason why. She works holidays, is incredibly flexible with times (drop offs/pickups/vacations). I can not recommend her enough." -Natalie H

"My son has thrived at tot spot with Samantha. We took him out of HPMDC as we continued to hear and see friends children’s surpass the education he was receiving. We plan on sending our second child this fall. Samantha is driven loving and connects with the children in a way I have not seen. They do new activities every day and are constantly stimulated. We love tot spot and could not be more happy with our choice!" -Amelia K

Ms. Samantha and Mr. Jake run a great program. It’s more school than daycare, and run by folks with big hearts. For the past three years our son has learned how to be responsible, play well with others, yoga, reading, writing, math…and a lot of good life lessons. Samantha and Jake are excellent communicators and we always feel like we know what’s going on at the school and with our child. Playing outside includes time with rabbits and chickens and dogs and cats. It’s really wonderful. -Theo D

We can not say enough good things about Tot Spot Playschool! My son has attended since he was 18 months and we can’t wait for our daughter to start there as well. The best experiences and the skills the kids learn here are so wonderful, they are more than prepared to start kinder after attending. We are so grateful to have found this in home daycare! -Meghan E
