The Children's Place is my child's home away from home and I couldn't ask for anything more! The staff are just great with the children. Since it is a smaller facility, the children receive a lot of individual attention. I definitely recommend this place to any parent who wants their child to thrive and be prepared for pre-k.
My wife and I love this place. Maybe more importantly, our daughter loves this place. We started her there when she was three months old and she's almost two years old now. Ixchel and Melissa run a great center and bring in the right people to keep it that way. We checked out a few places and this SEEMED like the best place we saw but there was no way to know for sure. Given the chance to do it over again we wouldn't change our decision to use The Children's Place.
I enrolled my daughter at Children's Place when she was just over a year old and she adapted really well to the center. Ixchel and Melissa are fantastic leaders of this center, and the staff really are great with the children, always putting their safety and well being above anything else. I highly recommend!
The Children's place is the best place for infant and toddlers. but they don't have much option of schedule.I wish they had more part-time options for toddlers. I enrolled my son when he was infant and was very happy. I had to travel to different locations for work and had to remove out of day care. Teachers are nice and very caring for each child.He was never sick during his program and enjoyed being there.
