“We transferred our son to IC3 last fall when we were frustrated about many things. According to his former teacher, he had a lot of problems. Although I believe that's normal for many young kids, he just wants more care and attention as a foreign boy who cannot make friends here very easily. Luckily we were able to get a spot at IC3. Almost half a year passed and I am glad to see my son has experienced great change. He is more confident and active. He makes a lot of friends. We are so appreciative of everything the teachers in the Pre-K room do for him. They are so patient and professional.”

“Our youngest daughter started at IC3 in the late summer/early fall at the age of 2. Between her and her 2 older siblings we have spent many years with the IC3 family. The program has been wonderful for all three of our children, and we have felt a true partnership with the teachers who have worked with them. I’d like to express my sincere appreciation to the staff who work hard to make a difference in the lives of these kids. We feel fortunate to have such a solid, quality program and group of professionals, several of whom have become close family friends.”

“It is impossible to express our gratitude for the professional and loving care that the IC3 staff have provided to our daughter. IC3 has had a special place in our lives as a partner in the development of our child.”

“Both our children had superb care at the Ithaca Community Childcare Center. At IC3, our children had wonderful, caring, loving teachers who became extensions of our family. In the combined 10 years our children attended IC3, they experienced only 2 teacher changes and just a few teacher assistant turnovers. Both of our children were in IC3’s infant, toddler and pre-k classrooms and their staff, program, and curriculum helped our children grow and thrive socially, emotionally and physically. We wholeheartedly recommend IC3 to friends and colleagues looking for quality daycare.”

“To say we have been pleased with the care our son has received at IC3 would be greatly understating what his experience has meant to us. I am so very thankful for their love and care and most especially wonderful teachers for creating an exciting environment for learning and a warm, supportive community for families. Every day our son shows us a curiosity about his world, an eagerness to explore and experiment and a sense that he is loved and cherished. So much of that has come from his time at IC3.”

“We wanted to tell you how impressed we are with our daughter’s teachers. They are just wonderful. It’s very clear that they have a special bond with them as individuals. We are equally impressed with (and appreciative of) their obvious knowledge of early childhood care giving techniques. They are consistently thoughtful, patient, creative, and loving with the babies. It’s obvious they love what they do and put a lot of thought into it. Needless to say, our daughter adores them equally. We are always grateful that they are in our daughter’s life.”
