Ms. Kristina is the best I've had watch my child. She does such a good job listening to the kids and teaching them as if they were her own. Her and Ms. Lockett are people I trust with my child and that is rare and hard to find these days. Truly a blessing.

Excellent learning center for our child! Wonderful customer service from the director to each child care worker! They show so much compassion and care for our little one!

My daughter loves her teacher and the staff, so it keeps me at ease. Keep up the good work!!!!

My daughter has been going to this location for almost two years. She has learned so much and has little best friends. I love that they have cameras to see in the classes and playground at any time. In addition to the cameras the teachers send pictures through an app and other updates. She has bonded with all her teachers. It is also across from my work so that is convenient!![]()

Chappell San Marco is a wonderful childcare facility. I used Chappell Riverside for my oldest daughter in 2018 and had a great experience so I was very happy that San Marco had an opening for my newborn in July 2022. My youngest daughter started at San Marco when she was 12 weeks old. Ms Chrissy and Ms Karen in the Pandas classroom are infant whisperers! They took such good care of my little girl! Mrs Helen is an absolute Angel and both of my girls have sweet, engaging interactions with her! Ms Mina, Ms Britt and Ms Charita in the Koalas classroom are excellent with the mobile infants. They did so many cute activities with them! They did a cute keepsake painting on my daughter’s First Birthday that I will cherish forever! The teachers in the Alligators and Elephants are great with the toddlers! All of the staff is very friendly and know my daughters by name. Ms Stacey, Ms Carmen and Ms Sammy the Director are all very approachable and visible for parents and families to see. The Celebration of Nations that the school did in April was a great opportunity for them to engage the school community and as parents we were able to connect with the staff and had an opportunity to see the VPK students perform. It was an interactive immersive cultural experience that myself and my family enjoyed. I would 10/10 recommend this Childcare Facility to anyone looking in the San Marco/Riverside Area. It has a great playground for the kids and the staff treat your children like family.![]()

We send our 18 month old to the San Marco location. The transition from being home with us for 1.5 years to starting daycare was rough, like 3 days of him nonstop screaming rough. The staff at Chappell could not have been more helpful! They kept our hopes up that he would adapt and thrive, and he did. He is greeted so warmly every morning by all the teachers and he can't wait to start his daily art activity. Being able to livestream the classroom and have photos sent to us through the app is such a plus. Not to mention, the campus is beautiful being right on the river. Had 3 people recommend this school/daycare to us. So grateful they did and that our son got a spot.![]()

This school has been absolutely amazing . They have have truly made me feel like my daughter is safe. When I ask my daughter if she wants to go to school she tells me yea. This is such a nice change from having to drag her in to her old daycare![]()

We love Chappell School San Marco! The team is easy to communicate with, cheerful, and most importantly, our young children (ages 1 and 3) couldn't be happier. Alma Porcic has made a real leadership impact in the last year and we love having Sammy in charge at our happy daycare home away from home <3
