I have used the Farmhouse for both my children starting when they were just infants. I have had nothing short of a great experience. I trust them 1000% with my children. I would highly recommend them to anyone searching for childcare
This place is PHENOMENAL. No words to describe honestly but I’ll try! They love the kids as their own and meet their needs while keeping them at their educational level or higher! They are very communicative with parents and staff. All members of the team are excited to be involved in any event! The teachers and admin are ALWAYS coming up with the most fun activities and events. I can NOT say enough about The Farmhouse Daycare Co! 10/10 recommend!
After having bad reviews on their Facebook page, this provider deleted their page and started a new one. Do your research. Call up the adhs and ask about complaints and any of their public records. Starting new pages doesn’t change the fact of how they run, just deletes the record
for diaper checks, the teachers just squeeze the diaper instead of looking inside. every check, 85% of the children were “dry”. my child was never checked by the teacher doing diapers so i would always have to change her myself, plus i would change the children who were supposedly dry as well. after meals, especially lunch, the children were able to get up and play with toys before cleaning their hands. that left all the toys covered in spaghetti sauce, crumbs, cheeto dust, etc. i was let go as a teacher because i wanted to make changes that benefited the children. the fire department came in and we were told to tell them if they asked, that we knew where to go for a friend and that we did drills every month. i worked there for almost a year and never did a single one.
