Especially for Children

My son went here for a few months. It was close to my work so we decided to move him to a center closer to home for a few reasons… I’m torn in my review. I don’t like the center, but I loved the teachers in the infant room. The teachers are kind and caring and I have a special place in my heart for them since they raised my baby the last few months. However, I think they have too much on their plate so often times babies are unhappy. I visited over lunch every day so I got to observe a lot. I went at different times too. There were some days, I felt if I wasn’t there I’m not sure my son would have been happy at all or fed on time. That is again no slam to the ladies, they work their butts off but that’s just the reality with a 1:4 ratio. I learned to except it and I think that’s just the way things are, there were more good days than bad so that kept me coming back and there were many moments that made me smile when I did see kids being read or sang to. The teachers definately try their best and I can’t say enough good things about them…
The biggest complaint I have is that the facilities are nothing to brag about. classrooms are small with many children packed in. The bouncy seats, toys, high chairs, etc are all ancient. The playground is small, and when it’s cold or raining there is nowhere for the children to retreat to. If you are a new parent I would highly suggest finding a place with large facilities so your child has room to run around as the grow. Here in MN that is very importatnt seeing that it’s cold most the year! We are at a new daycare now with an indoor gym and I think it’s going to be a godsend this winter!
Overall, they do a good job but I wasn’t wow’d so I gave them a 3 star.

Awesome daycare! The teachers here are great, they are so patient and flexible. My little guy loves it and I don’t feel worried that he is happy during the day.
