my kids are so happy to go their and they were well prepaired for kindergarden.the staff is very friendly and an excellent price,i have not had one complaint from my kids in the 3 years,and the miss brenna is a sweatheart.
For every ones concerns. I did call the state to see if this place was licensed which it is NOT. The owner listed that she works there and gets paid which after talking to one of the employees she does not even show up but 1 time a month. the employees are free labor. something sounds fishy here I bet the IRS would love to know about this place
I love this daycare for my daughter, and she loves it there to she has been at Brookside since she was 6 weeks and she is 2 now. I have never had any issues there at all. I think it is awesome that they higher high school that want to go on with childcare. They teach these kids, and love these kids so much. Awesome place to send your kids.
Agree with others that say they hire high school kids. So true, horrible experience, pulled my kids and would not recommend especially for young children . Thankfully mine are 8 and can tell Mom and Dad when there are things that aren't right. You have a problem call to speak with person in charge and she is a kid herself that argues with you that an incident didn't happen without even investigating. My last straw was them letting the children watch a PG 13 movie with curse words. Come on really a Christian academy allowing that. Miss Breann denied it happened when indeed it did. Who's watching these kids. Mine will never step foot in that place again. BEWARE!
This place is wonderful, so warm and inviting. They hire high school seniors in work study programs and students interested in early childhood or elementary education as a career. Providing them with knowledge and training they need. The place is clean. The workers love these children, they comfort them and teach them.
Do Not even Waist your time at this dump. very dirt place and the people that work there are kids from high schools. your warning is here
This place is a joke I pulled my son out of there as soon as i found out. the owner gets free or really cheat labor. I found out hiring high school kids and giving them a report for college. NOT A LICIENCED CENTER AND NOW WAY A SCHOOL OR CHURCH.
