Imagination Childcare

This place is a hidden gem. It is just the right size and not a «global daycare» like so many others. My granddaughter has been going here since the first of December and absolutely likes «going to school.» She used to go to another center in Goodyear, but this change has been nothing but great.
I like that the it only serves 1 year through preschool age so it doesn’t seem so overwhelming inside. It is clean and smells nice. The teacher turnover rate seems to be good & low so far — so the kids see familiar, constant faces. She recently transitioned to the Preschool side and loves it! When I pick her up, she is NOT ready to leave. I’m not exaggerating. She wants to sit and keep coloring or playing. There are days that it is a battle to get her out of there. Literally, she is in tears because she wants to stay. This tells me she feels comfortable & safe here.
So many other positives to go on about… but I’ll stick with reviewing my overall impression & experience.
My only suggestion for improvement would be at pick-​up time. You have to make sure and ask if they took a nap, what they ate for lunch, or if they did activities. There isn’t a daily report card and sometimes the menu might be off a little bit. I know it can get busy at «rush hour» and they are ensuring all the kids get out of the door safely. So if you want to know about your little one’s day… give the teachers a few minutes to tell those who are leaving «bye» and just ask what your child did & they will gladly tell you.
I’m glad I found this center and hope that it continues without any major changes to its operation.

Not a bad place… the teachers there are awesome! Very friendly, seem to be very dedicated to their jobs and our kids. However, the «get to know the owner» section says the owner is always present. Too many times, I have been there and I have been told she was on vacation or out to lunch. Doesn’t seem to hands on to me.

My son was enrolled here for a few weeks and it looks like a very nice place. Very clean and nice until our problems started. My son had a boogers so they told me I had to pick him up within an hour so I had to leave work but he was fine no fever no other sign of being sick. Happened again and I got there a couple hours later and he was asleep but his eyes were so swollen from crying so much, an employee told me he was held in the office alone while they waited for me to get there can’t imagine how he felt my poor baby. We are also Hispanic which I think has a lot to do with it they are racist and would never recommend this place to anyone !!! Also was told by an employee that ALL their food is microwaved and nothing is fresh !!

I want to give a BIG SHOUT out to the staff at Imagination Child Care, from the fist time we walked in we were welcomed with a warm feeling. This placed has made a big impacted on our baby girl. She is communicating better, she sometimes is not ready to leave when I am picking her up. Imagination Child Care is refreshing.
