"We ended up at OTR as a last minute month-long stint when our original daycare plan was delayed. We can not say enough about Kathy, Donna and the whole crew at OTR (particularly all the girls in the infant room!). This is our first child and therefore first daycare experience. The apprehension I imagine comes with bringing your 6 month old to daycare for the first time washed away the first day. Our son Hugh was not only well cared for but truly felt loved by everyone at OTR. We wanted to stay there forever and logistics the only reason we couldn't! Their staff is kind and thoughtful with caring for your child and our son was so happy every day he got to go in! Lastly, navigating daycare and waitlists was often chaotic and unorganized. Kathy was always incredible responsive, helpful and clear which was not always the case and incredibly appreciated. Thank you OTR for caring for our little guy!"

"Our family loves OTR! Our daughter comes home daily talking about all of the fun things she did and learned during the day, and she is excited to go back every morning. Our son started as an infant, and I felt very comfortable sending him there at a young age. The staff is attentive, friendly, and takes great care of the children."

"My son started here in 2022 when he was 5 months old in the infant room. He's now two years old in the transition room and we could not be happier! All the teachers have been fabulous and we really feel comfortable dropping him off every day. There is consistency with the teachers and we are always impressed with how much he is learning! Highly recommend!"
