Care Member says "I’ve had both of my boys at SSMB, and I couldn’t ask for a better environment for them. The teachers are fun and attentive, and the kids get a healthy mix of social-emotional learning and early curriculum. My one year-old is in the infant room and he jumps down out of my arms every morning to go play. It’s such a relief for my day that he is happy there. Beyond the care/classrooms, the owners and directors have created such a tight sense of community throughout the school. "
