Great Center! Very family oriented center. !All 5 of my children attended. Love them
I am currently employed at My Shades of Green Learning Tree. This is by far one of thee best child care facilities Ive worked for.They have a excellent curriculumand and great activities for children of all age. There was a situaton when a parent dropped her child off and claimed to had left $50 behind. However, none of the staff had seen it.Because the money was never recovered the parent took the child out of the program. There is always a heavy crowd of people coming in and out of the center in the morning and anyone could have gotten their hands on it. It is an adults responsibilty to be responsible for there own items. At one point when it was time for a childs dismissal a staff would accompany the child downstairs for the convience of the parents. However, if you wanted to come up and get there chid you were always welcomed no part of the center has ever been off limits to any parent .Never the less our program is so awesome dispite all the discripancies months later the parent reenrolled the child back in the facility.
Excellent childcare facility. My daughter has attended since she was 1 years old. They have the same group of teachers which is important to me. They worked well with working hand and hand with me to develop toilet training skills for my daughter. The meals are always nutrious. also, I love the way the center is family oriented.
My daughter attended this child care for about 4 months. In that time she learned her colors & the days of the week. The minus parts were: I sent her with two outfits when she first started, Only one outfit was ever returned to me. I also dropped her off with a blanket which was not found until the second week that she was there. My daughter is 2 so she was upstairs with the older children. However, everytime I went they would always bring her down. It was as if they did not want anyone to go upstairs, which did not sit well with me. The reason that I took her out was, one day when I dropped her off I inadvertently left a $50 bill sitting on the desk where I signed her in. I got to work & called the daycare (because, I knew exactly where I had sat the money). The worker that was sitting at the desk where I sat the money said that she didn't see the money. Nonetheless, I removed my daughter from the daycare because I did not feel comfortable leaving my daughter with people that were dishonest.
