We absolutely love Heart to Heart Daycare and have been going here for the last 5 years, since my daughter was seven weeks old, and now my son currently attends. This daycare is a 25 minute drive out of the way and I pass several other daycares along the way, but Heart to Heart has my heart and I would never choose another daycare!
Mr. Dan (owner) goes above and beyond to teach the kids not only the curriculum, but manners, how to appropriately socialize, and have fun! The staff organizes field trips about once a month to farms, the wolf sanctuary, museums, dentists, aquariums, zoos, hibachi, etc. and they provide the bus for transportation to these events. They organize family picnics, family dinners, an art show, egg hunt, Mother's Day and Father's Day celebrations, end of year graduations, talent shows, and always holiday parties… you might even meet Santa! They also offer parent-teacher conferences twice a year. This daycare is very convenient as it opens at 6:30 AM and closes at 6:30 PM which is a huge help for working parents who spend most of the day away from home. They rarely ever close for snow days because Mr. Dan lives right up the road and will always open the door for you, especially when you are in a pickle. This daycare is also reasonably priced and he allows you to choose a school schedule according to your personal family needs.
Mr. Dan ensures that not only are the kids happy at school, but the entire family is included, and the parents are also happy. There is a huge garden for kids to grow vegetables, they hatch chicks and butterflies and ladybugs too! Heart to Heart daycare also has a live camera to put parents at ease and I find myself checking in to watch my kids several times a day! I would never choose a daycare without camera access.
They also have multiple playground areas, go outside at least once a day, and have water play during the summer season. My children love going to school every day and cry when I pick them up at the end of the day. There is NOT ONE BAD THING I CAN SAY about this place and that means a lot when you have to leave your children in someone else's care. I absolutely adore Heart to Heart daycare and highly recommend!
My son attended Heart 2 Heart from 7 months to 5 years old, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. This daycare provided a nurturing environment filled with educational activities that prepared him well for kindergarten. Throughout the years, my son enjoyed many fun and unique experiences like watching eggs hatch, growing butterflies and working on art and craft projects that sparked creativity. The director, Mr. Dan, goes above and beyond to care for and teach the children. The ability to watch my child through cameras throughout the day gave me peace of mind. My son learned a lot and built a solid foundation here. I highly recommend Heart 2 Heart to anyone looking for a safe and enriching place for their child.

My son was at heart 2 heart full time from 3 months through pre-k, and I can not recommend it enough. Mr. Dan has developed an amazing program for each age group, and works with each individual student's needs to help them succeed. My son is naturally very shy and has blossomed so much in this program both socially and academically. As my son moves on to kindergarten I have realized that H2H is largely responsible for his being ready for this next step - they taught him to write his name, add numbers, read sight words, identify shapes, zip his zippers, and countless other things - not me.
Mr Dan also works very hard to create a community for H2H kids to be a part of for their early development years. He does a bunch of family engagement activities during each school year - art show, graduation ceremony, trick or treat, holiday dinners, summer picnic. Toddlers, preschool, and pre-k go on a ton of great field trips (zoo, aquarium, wolf sanctuary, apple picking, small farm, hibachi, and others) and activities (mystery reader, caterpillar to butterfly and release, egg hatch to chickens or ducks) that parents can be involved in.
I am so thankful for Mr Dan and all of his staff for being a part of my sons early development years. He has created a safe, loving environment that you can really feel good about your kid being a part of.
Also - every room has a camera that parents can access to check on their kids from home, which most daycares don't have and really helped me feel comfortable leaving my son at 3 months. H2H is also very capable of handling allergies (my son has had food allergies since the infant room) and will allow speech therapists etc to come in to school. The kids get outside most days and there is a large playground, grassy area to run around, a garden that the kids help grow things in, and water play in the summer.
Heart 2 Heart is an amazing childcare center! I had such anxiety putting my baby in daycare. Dan eased my anxiety from day 1. I looked at a few childcare places and I am so happy I went with heart 2 heart! They are very organized and well put together. They are so caring and great with the kids. My son loves it here. From the teachers to the owner. I would highly recommend!
My son has flourished in the last three years attending heart 2 heart. Heart 2 heart is dedicated to child development with a comprehensive curriculum appropriate for each child's age level. I am amazed every day at what my son comes home with and what he's learning from the caring and dedicated staff and teachers. Every person that heart-to-heart is kind loving and nurturing. The environment is conductive to learning exploration and fun. My son loves going to school at heart-to-heart. Hamds down the best center around
