Parent Testimonials

EDCC has been an absolute lifesaver for us. As working parents without family nearby, the program gives us peace of mind knowing our son is safe, supported, and genuinely happy in this enriching environment. The onsite convenience, extended hours, and care on school closure/early release days provide the reliability we depend on.
We were drawn to EDCC for its blended curriculum, and while our son has learned so much through the program, it’s the exceptional staff who set it apart. They are warm, empathetic, and attuned to children’s development, partnering closely with parents to support social and emotional growth. We’ve seen meaningful growth in our son and he loves being at EDCC.

We highly recommend EDCC to families seeking high-quality after-school care.

EDCC Cottonwood Parent – Ashley Migliore

My son LOVES EDCC. He never has once complained about going and typically wishes he could stay a little longer. He has built special relationships with the staff and it is not uncommon to talk about him wanting to do something special for them, or tell me about something delicious Ms. Monica made, or a game he played with another teacher… he feels loved, connected and as a parent, I do not think there is a better place he could be.

EDCC Green Parent – Julie Parsley

As parents, we constantly question the decisions we make regarding our children and EDCC has helped simplify that decision!

The support of the teachers has been outstanding. They are willing to try new things and help my child grow and learn at her own pace. I like the fact that the teachers and staff are very caring. I love the staff here and I feel that they are always here for me as well as my child. I’ve often said to others that it’s so hard to tell when the teachers and staff are having a bad day because they are always so pleasant and friendly in general. I feel very involved in the program and comfortable with staff and teachers. I can always come to them with any need and they help me.

I am happy to know that my child is in a nurturing environment with teachers who genuinely care about her wellbeing and happiness.

Parent of Kindergartener at Fred EDCC – Sandhya Gopalan

I just want to say thank you for all the love and support you have not only provided the children but parents too. I know your employees have a very challenging time and it can be stressful. At times they may even think “Why am I doing this job?”

But I wanted to let you know that the job they are doing is impacting my child for his future and shaping him to be a Citizen in this big world of opportunities. That in itself is irreplaceable but takes so much talent.

A really big thank you and to you and your staff. I know we have had some challenges but you all have handled them so gracefully.   I believe all the parents appreciate you and your team. Keep up the fantastic job and keep smiling.

EDCC Parent at Dougherty – Rami Tumber

We are very pleased with the Murray EDCC program and have seen so much social and independent growth in our child since starting the program this past summer. All of the teachers are amazing, and having Ms. Jenn lead the Sharks classroom has made such a positive difference. We are so happy and truly grateful for the supportive, nurturing environment the program provides.

EDCC Murray Parents – Jasmine & Brian Nguyen

I am beyond impressed. EDCC continues to wow me with their creative and rich instruction and projects. The range of activities that my son is able to participate in is nothing that I would have ever expected. I am amazed with the teachers and their hands on involvement (example: outside: playing, not watching, with the kids on fantastic physical education games). The cooking, language, art, performing arts…WOW! And, I have to say, the teachers make the environment look like a museum. The boards they put together are award winning.
