Dk's Childcare and Academy

Our Teachers

Shari Horton, Director Shari Graduated from Rochester University with an Early Childhood Education degree. In, 2015 she realized her passion for working with children and from that moment was determined to have her own Early Childhood Educational center. Her favorite thing about working with children is being able to see how much the children learn from when they first came into the program. She focuses on having small classes in order for her teachers to have a more intimate relationship and focus on each child.

Testimonials

“My child has learned so much since attending DKs childcare. At just 1 year old my son was able to make complete sentences, identify his colors, shapes, count to 20, just to name a few. All from the amazing teachers at this center. My sons social skills have grown tremendously, learning to help babies smaller than him at school. I can tell that my child really loves the women that work in the daycare, he is always so happy to stay and in such a great mood when I pick him up.

Ms. Horton and Mrs. Horton both provide amazing communication and the center utilizes class dojo so that we can have constant daily communication.

My son has never gotten sick after attending for over 6 months, which means so much. I love the hours that the daycare operates, they have the best hours of availability in the area.

This is such a great center if you’re thinking of enrolling your baby, I highly recommend. 5 stars and wish them even more success in the future.”
