It is a great place to have your kids there.
I have 3 year old girl and she likes there now.

My son attended for several months in 2015 until the kitchen lady started watching the kids in the morning before the actual teachers arrive. I witnessed her discipline a child by yanking her up by the arms and yelling at this 2 year old because she pushed another child with her leg twice… unacceptable.
I did discuss it with the director, but she didn’t seem to care.

Our 1 year old son has been attending this daycare center once a week for over 8 months. We pay in full for every month, have always been current on our payments and we try to give proper notification of schedule changes. We like to have our son in daycare once a week for exposure to other children and to help with his growth and natural learning by the influence of others.
The first issue was regarding our son not moving up to the 6 – 12 month class after he turned 6 months old from the original 1 – 6 class they offer. Originally, we were told that he was unable to move up to the 6 – 12 month class because it was too full and that they can’t move children out of the 6 – 12 month class until they are walking. I guess I understand that criteria, despite passing judgement on the parents of these underdeveloped children. Now fast forward to our son at 10 months old… he is still not in the 6 – 12 month old class because «he does not attend daycare often enough.» So because we aren’t funding your center as much as the next parent, our son loses his spot to move up to the next class? So there he was, sitting in a classroom watching a bunch of infants sleep and be immobile all day… that’s not what we envisioned when we enrolled our child.
Well, today was the last straw. After FINALLY being moved into the appropriate class a couple weeks ago, we were told by the director that unless we can commit to enrolling our son AT LEAST twice a week, for the same two days every week, he will no longer be allowed to attend the school. I’m sorry, but I never thought I would be in a position of being turned away after being a loyal customer who has always been current with payments.
The teachers who handled our son were great, but one of them left. The director who originally managed this school when we signed up is gone. All that’s left is double speak and people who look at your children as dollar signs. Unless you are enrolling your child full time, don’t bother with this location, as your child will not be a priority compared to the families who are providing more revenue for the school.

This place is a must go to in the Phoenix area if you have a young child. There is a TON to do for the kids on 3 very large levels…
All of this is ‘pretend land’…
Ice cream cart
grocery store & warehouse
car wash
HUGE climbing, exploring structure
air & pipes & scarves
many ball related learning mazes and activities
and MUCH more
just GO!
