Wow, after touring this extremely modern facility, I was anxious to see how it's smaller size would meet the needs of my children and family. During the tour, the management went over everything from curriculum to philosophy and the differences, that I found, made them stand out compared to the other places I toured. I teach in the public schools and was thankful to hear they have an online application used for everything from payments, to communication with my children's teachers. The teacher sends pictures daily and I always know what my children are learning. They are extremely focused on keeping the facility clean and organized. I love watching my children run up to hug their teachers, who are both so excited to be with my child. I really feel like they care and always ask questions if they are unsure about an illness with my child. Their rates are a bit lower than other similar facilities although they are a private facility. I was bummed they didn't have much on their playground, but they have a bunch of stuff for the children to do and the lack of playground equipment wasn't as important once I realized how much fun my children had without it. They also have an edible garden on the playground. The classroom ratios are literally the lowest of every center in the city. They have an infant ratio of 1 staff to 2.5 babies, but the state guideline is 1 to 4 and every daycare I called follow that 1 to 4 ratio. This is ultimately what caused me to check them out. They always have staff greet us at the door and I love seeing extra staff cleaning. A few things to note; they are just right outside of town so they are pretty secluded, they have security cameras in every class and on the playground, and they are open from 7am-5:30pm. They don't accept child care assistance payments. But, when you notice that your child's pediatrician brings their child to the facility, it definitely helped us to realize this was the place for us and we still love it. They are strict on illnesses, but it has helped keep our own children less sick, which we appreciate. You are asked to leave your child's nap materials at the daycare so they can wash them weekly. At first, I didn't like that, but then realized it cuts down on items bringing in headlice etc. If you are unsure, take the tour, you will love seeing how they always have extra staff helping in the rooms and the experiences cant be beat.
DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS. THE STAFF TURNOVER RATE IS HORRIBLE AND DIFFICULT FOR KIDS STABILITY
