About the Provider

Description: Aside from a safe and healthy environment, the most important aspect of quality child care is an atmosphere that is pleasant and enjoyable for the children as well as the care givers. We feel that for young children this is best achieved through a loosely structured program which reflects the loving and casual atmosphere of the home and family.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

This center is very warm and friendly. There are always fun crafts hung that the kids did. They bring them out to play every day, sometimes a couple times during the day. If its cold out or rainy then they have a greenhouse play center they can play in. They are very structured and teach good values to the children. It is a very clean center which is very important to us. We would recommend this center.

This is a daycare I trust with my children. They are caring and very involved in my children. It is a very structured school and it shows. This is a very clean center as well. Highly recommended.

Pros:
- The indoor playground in the greenhouse
- Kids spend plenty of time outside
- Very clean
- Teachers actively interact with the kids (talk with them, play with them, etc rather than just overseeing their safety)
- Teachers stay for a long time
- My child has made tremendous academic progress, is VERY social, and loves her teachers and friends

Cons:
- Communication (daily communication sheets are often incomplete and when you inquire about the child's day they have trouble recalling who was here at that time of day/how they could find out)
- Teachers aren't as consistent from one day to the next as I would like and there is no lead teacher in the room to direct questions through so it often takes several days to get a question answered
- Provided snacks are not very healthy and the type of milk provided in the rooms is inconsistent (if the pediatrician suggests whole milk for one year olds then the one year old room should only have whole milk in the fridge)

When you find that one place that you feel comfortable dropping your little one off too, it is a good feeling. There is nothing more important than leaving your child in good care. My son goes to The Club House in the toddler program. The positive energy they give towards him is great. He is always happy to be there when I drop off and pick up. I love seeing all the projects and hearing about the fun activities the staff does with them. I feel that the staff there give a mothers comfort when I cant be there.

Only center I've ever seen with indoor playscapes and outdoor playgrounds! Kind and loving staff. I love the Christian based curriculum.
