Hear From Our Parents
The Romero Family
"I have nothing but amazing things to say about Celebree Estero! The staff has truly gone above and beyond for our family. From my very first phone call, I could tell this was a special place. When I requested a tour, Samantha, the Assistant Director, even came in outside of business hours to accommodate me (completely my fault, I didn’t realize they weren’t doing tours while they were still closed due to finalizing construction!). When it came time to enroll our child, Stacia, the Director, made sure we felt completely comfortable and had every question answered. And just recently, Karen, the owner, went out of her way to purchase a sleep sack for our little one because I had accidentally forgotten to pack one for the week. That level of care and thoughtfulness is truly rare and it means so much to us as parents. The three of them have become such an important part of our village. Every single day at drop-off and pick-up, we’re greeted with warm, welcoming smiles that instantly make you feel at home. They’re approachable, attentive, and genuinely invested in the families they serve, which is HUGE! I’ve also had the pleasure of meeting all of the teachers, and they are simply wonderful caring, patient, and full of positive energy. Each one brings experience and heart to what they do. At our Meet the Teacher Day, my child took her very first three steps right there in the classroom, as if to tell me, “Look, Mommy! I’m going to grow here!” My heart completely melted. On her very first day, instead of reaching up for me at pickup like she used to, she grabbed my hands and proudly showed me everything she had played with. In just one week, I’ve seen such incredible growth, from waving hello to speaking more often! This is something we hadn’t seen at her previous daycare. Celebree Estero has truly filled my heart with comfort and peace. Knowing my child is safe, happy, and thriving means the world to me. I’m so grateful to everyone there for creating such a loving and supportive environment for our family. ❤️"
The Pollock Family
"I could not recommend Celebree more highly! From day one I have been so impressed with every aspect of the school. The classrooms are well organized and have every thing you could want for your child. The outdoor play area is expansive and has plenty for every age group. The communication from both leadership and the teachers is top notch. You can tell that everyone cares deeply about every individual child and wants to make sure that they thrive at Celebree. When my daughter started she of course cried with drop off, which is completely normal. Samantha made sure to let me know every single day that she was playing and happy within a short period of time. I had toured other day cares and never felt as comfortable as I did with Celebree. Highly recommend!"
The Hilderbrand Family

The teachers are caring, professional, and make every day fun and engaging for the kids. The school is clean, organized, and truly focused on each child’s growth and happiness. Communication with parents is always clear and thoughtful. A special shout-out to Samantha, the Assistant Director, who goes above and beyond every single day as she’s warm, approachable, and always willing to help with anything. We feel so lucky to be part of the Celebree family and couldn’t recommend it more!"
The Porter Family
"I absolutely love how my daughter takes her time during pick-up. As soon as she sees me at the door, she grabs my finger and walks me around her room, proudly showing me her toys. It gives me such peace of mind knowing how much she loves being there. Celebree is such a nurturing environment for children, and I’m beyond happy that my child feels so comfortable and excited every day!"

The Hite Family
"My family and I attended the open house event over the weekend and I was incredibly impressed by the facility and the staff. The attention to detail and the planning put into every corner of each classroom and space shows the focus on the importance of childcare and education at Celebree. The VPK room had the cutest educational centers. The outdoor play areas were perfect for the designated age groups. After speaking with the directors and staff, I wouldn’t hesitate to enroll a student at this school!"
