East Aurora Community Nursery

Apparently someone at EACN didn’t like my picture of the open hot tea on the media cart and voted to remove it.
Due to the limitations on how much you can write on Unilocal reviews I couldn’t previously add that a final problem we had was EACN’s inability to wipe our daughter — she came home numerous days with clumpy poop stains in her underwear because they didn’t go in with her! SHE’S 2! She doesn’t know how to properly wipe! They simply let the kids go to the restroom unattended and don’t monitor them well enough to make sure they wash their hands. We watched while there on a couple occasions as kids simply went in, shut the door for over 5 minutes and then simply came out and went back to playing (yuck!) without washing their hands. The teachers never even noticed.
Also their «reading chair» in one room is the back seat out of an old pickup truck. One of the pictures recently submitted by «M.N.» actually shows it with a person reading to a kid on it. They’re dingy and nasty, not to mention probably dangerous on the underside since they aren’t intended as actual furniture.
Bonus alert — the walk from the cafeteria area to the classrooms contains an external exit that can simply be pushed open by any kid. I watched a teacher walk a class of kids from the cafeteria back to a room without turning around to watch them once. Any of those kids could have bolted down that side hallway and headed out that door and been gone for at least 5 minutes before being noticed. (There was no teacher at the back of the line.) There’s no fence at this particular exit and a major street directly outside. Most facilities have a button out of reach that must be pushed to open the door.
This place is seriously rinky dink and the teachers are simply OK at best. Fisher Price should be ashamed to have a place like this on it’s campus.
Speaking of the campus — don’t try to pick up your kids between 5 – 5:15pm. They block the only entrance (dumb) to the campus by making it a double lane exit only. You’ll get turned around at the gate if you try to enter. Why not put in a secondary «exit only» gate with spike strips to prevent entry? How long has this place been here? What happens in an emergency (especially to kids) and you’ve got 200 yards of double lane traffic blocking the only entrance?
