Here's what parents have to say about University Avenue Discovery Center:

    "UADC has changed our lives. The additional tools and framework that Robin and Susan have provided have made us happier and better parents. Our son, a shy child, is a more confident, happy and outgoing kid!"

    "My family discovered UADC shortly after moving to Madison two years ago. The Center has been a wonderful place for my daughter to make friends, and we both feel very connected to the other families and teachers. It's a great school and a great place to make new friends!"

    "UADC has a fantastic chef. As a parent, it feels great to know that my child has the opportunity to eat well-balanced foods that, unlike at many other centers, are made from scratch."

    "When I first started at UADC I was a little hesitant to change my daughter's pre-school....she was a very shy and quiet child and didn't mix well with other kids. She had been at her old pre-school for about a year and a half and I was concerned about what the change to UADC might do to her. However, UADC proved to be an excellent choice...within weeks I could see a tremendous change in her...she started making friends and becoming more and more independent, so much so that her teacher at the time, Carla, told me that she was one of the liveliest kids in the classroom. I believe that the change in my child had a lot to do with the cultural sensitivity, excellent classroom management, and wealth of knowledge and skill in designing and conducting instructional experiences that the teachers at UADC possess. I have found teachers at UADC to be very honest, straightforward, extremely pleasant, and tremendously helpful in answering and alleviating any uncertainties or questions a parent might have regarding their child. I am glad I made the change and switched to UADC."

    "Our 3-year old daughter has developed a wealth of social skills since enrolling at UADC. She enjoys helping others and contributing to collective projects. The teachers are skilled at channeling young children's energy and curiosity in directions that will be useful to them as they grow. They do this while making sure that each day is full of fun and opportunities to learn."

    "When our daughter started pre-school, her teachers were great "second mothers" for her first experience away from home. Since she was quite young (not yet three), it was great to know that her teachers were not just experienced and professional, but also loving!"

    "It is great to be able to talk to your child's own teachers twice a day (at drop-off and pick-up), not just once in a while at a parent-teacher conference, like at some day care centers. The teachers tell us a lot about our child's day (how she felt, whether she napped, etc.). We also get pointers from the teachers that we can apply at home afterwards."

    "Now that our daughter is in school, we appreciate the continuity of having her come back to UADC as a school-ager, so she can see some of her old friends (and teachers!) from preschool."
