My toddler has been going to Paper Planes for a couple of weeks and is already in love with school! We couldn’t be happier with our decision. He loves his teachers, we get multiple daily updates, and they take his allergy very seriously. Coming from a teacher who takes education, safety, and play very seriously herself, you won’t be disappointed by joining the Paper Planes family.

I can’t believe that Calvin will no longer be a student at Paper Planes Early Learning Center in a few weeks. The experience and love that he received is one that my words of gratitude will never be enough. He has learned so much over the past two years. He LOVES his friends, loves books and numbers, uses his words to share his experiences, and is forever curious. If you’re looking for an amazing place-, you’ve got it with Paper Planes.

My son loves Paper Planes! The staff is very communicative about my child’s needs and learning. The themes, lessons, crafts, and teaching are amazing. My son is always learning new things, and I can see the progress he is making just from the short time he’s been there. Their app makes it easy to communicate with staff, and I receive constant updates on what my son does every day! I’m glad we chose to send him to Paper Planes!

Paper Planes is an AMAZING daycare. My son has been with them since they opened their doors, and we don’t know what we would do without them. He has been thriving since day one of their care. We never have to worry about him while he’s there as they update you all day long, from pictures to naps and food and diaper changes. I wish 100 stars were an option. Thank you for a fantastic daycare and for taking such great care of our son!!!

This is our 2-year-old’s first experience with being at daycare. Paper Planes by far exceeded our expectations. We receive updates during the day, and our son loves going. I thought he would be sad to leave us, but on the first day, he skipped right to his classroom and didn't even say goodbye!!!! Paper Planes has an incredible and attentive staff. My family and friends are HIGHLY impressed with the online app they use to pick up our son.

We found Paper Planes after two failed nanny attempts, and we’re SO happy to recommend them. If you have any reservations about putting your kid(s) in daycare, you just have to find the right one. The staff are caring and treat your family like their family. The kids are always smiling and experiencing new things. On top of it all, the environment is super clean! So happy we found Paper Planes!

My daughter just experienced her first week at Paper Planes and absolutely loved it. The teachers regularly keep in touch, and I love the app. They send me pictures of my daughter throughout the day and tell me when/what she ate and when her diaper was changed. They are super clean, and the staff is terrific. I wouldn’t want my daughter to go to any other preschool!

Maria Ahrens, the owner and director of Paper Planes, is amazing! I've watched her groom her teachers, be affectionate and warm towards kids, and calm down anxious parents — all so effortlessly. I would entrust my child in Maria's care without hesitation because I know she'll treat her like her own. Highly recommend Paper Planes! Congratulations, Maria Ahrens!

My daughter is extremely shy, but they make her feel as comfortable as possible. When she comes home, she’s so excited to tell me what she did that day, and she always tells me that her teachers and friends love her. I couldn’t ask for more. I feel 100% safe dropping her off in the mornings, and the app they use is so amazing! I feel like I’m right there with my daughter throughout the day. They are definitely your best option for childcare!
