Our sons have thrived during their time at Triangle Tots! Our oldest just graduated, and thanks to the love and care that the staff poured into him since he started at 12 weeks old in 2019, he has grown to be a loving and academically curious child. TT offered the perfect balance of the Bright Horizons curriculum with playtime and creative arts. He was read to every single day, until he was the one doing the reading! The teachers and staff were all invested in his progress, and it was such a joy to watch his growth, especially with reading, writing, drawing and simple sciences. He would come home with new facts every day, and it would make our hearts melt to get such enthusiastic reports. We loved getting updates, photos and videos via the app while at work, too. Beyond academics, the teachers and staff were tremendous helps with potty training and getting him to explore new healthy foods - both of which went smoothly for us thanks to them. Being a toddler during Covid was confusing and challenging, but the staff ensured he had a safe place where he could continue to thrive. As two working parents, it was a big help to have him at the same location as his younger brother, who also started in the infant room. We really value the boys being in a guarded, secure building with private outdoor play space and dedicated pick-up/drop-off parking for drivers. It's also directly above the Federal Triangle stop, and couldn't have been easier on the days we Metroed. And while big brother has moved on, we love that we're still part of the community with our younger son. We look forward to the amazing artwork sent home each day and learning what they've explored. We can't wait to watch #2 blossom at TT next!
