We have had our two sons (ages 5 and almost 2) at Flock for almost 3 years, and have been very pleased with their care. The teachers are loving, and the boys are constantly amazing us with new things they are learning and picking up. Our five year old speaks very fondly of his teachers and his friends from "school." Unlike the previous reviewer, I appreciate that they get plenty of time outside for free play and that screen time is limited. I really can't say enough good things about their staff--from the infant room caregivers, to the pre-K teachers, to the administration.
We are planning on having our 3rd child (due in July) start with them as well.
Teachers are one to a room, ratio is greatly unbalanced, adults are not happy, children are being yelled at, face to face, electronics snatched out of their hands by adults. Children are bored with too much time on their hands, rules are ridiculous such as one movie a week, an hour of electronics per day, etc. didn't keep my little boy here once I was told all this.
