Wee Care Academy

pros: — nice teachers
I met two teachers when I walked to their office. Both of them were really nice.
— clean facilities and bright classroom
Actually I don’t have a chance to take a deep look at their classrooms but I just shoot a glance at them.
cons:
– delay response
My husband gave them a call yesterday afternoon around 3 and tried to made an appointment for tour. The front desk received the call and told him that she could not make an appointment for him only the director could. But the director was not there and would be back in a few minutes and she would call him back soon. However, no call was received after then till this morning. So I decided to go to their office and made an appointment by person. When I saw the director, I told her that my husband was trying to made an appointment by phone yesterday. However the director didn’t let me finish my words and interrupted me immediately. I did expect an explanation and an apologies that she didn’t call my husband back from her but… It is really what a well-​educated person will do.

– tours’ schedule is rigid and limited
I have toured several centers/​preschools so far but no one has such a rigid tour schedule like Wee Care Academy. Usually most other centers will ask parents’ available time and then make an appointment for parents. Some are even better since they do walk-​in tours. But you do not have any other choice for this center. You have to come at a exactly date and time they offer. That’s fine for me since I’m a staying-​at-​home mom and I’m pretty flexible but my husband who want to join the tour is not. If we can’t make this one, then we have to wait one more month to join another tour. That’s OK too if I just go for the tour without my husband but the time is really not for a tour… The director told me the tour will be starting at 4 pm! Honestly so far not a single daycare center or preschool suggest me to tour their school in a late afternoon. They all recommend me to tour in the morning between 10 – 11 am since at that time they will have a lot of activities for parents to look at. More kids and teachers’ interaction to observe, which will help parents to make a wise decision of attending a daycare or preschool. I really doubt the reason why they schedule a tour at 4 pm.

– misleading website
On their website, they state that their fireflies classroom (for older 2 – 4 years old) still has spaces available for Monday and Friday. But the director told me they are full already for all the classes and I have to wait 6 more months to get in. I told her what I saw on website was quite different and the website showed the space information was updated on 7÷7÷2014. She did not answer me directly but made a new statement «your son is too young to attend the preschool class unless he is close to 3 years old». I really got confused by what she said. On their website, they have clear age range for preschool class– from older 2 to 4. My son is 2 years 7 months old and based on my understanding, I don’t think he is still «too young» for attending a preschool class. But the director insisted that he was not old enough to attend the preschool class. So why don’t you make a more clear clarification on your website for age ranges of each class? What «older 2 yeas old «means to the director is totally different from what it means to me.

– untrustworthy director
Remember she said that all the classes were full? Remember their website showed they still have spaces available on Monday and Friday for preschool class? (If you don’t remember, please read my last paragraph again.) The director changed her words after she knew that my son was potty trained. She told me that they did have opening on Monday and Friday for preschool class in October. What?! You just told me that your classes were full! Within a couple of minutes, some kids dropped off from their class?

We were very anxious about putting our 4 month old in daycare, and have been very pleasantly surprised with Wee Care. It is a small daycare with a very homey feel. The teachers are loving and engaged with the kids. Several teachers have their own children at the center, too. Jordan is great with the infants. My daughter is very happy there and I feel good about dropping her off each morning.

For new parents, deciding on a daycare can be daunting – and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. The caring, personalized attention, professionalism and warmth from each and every teacher and staff person at Wee Care is more than we could have hoped for. Our daughter has thrived in their care, and we so appreciate the intelligent, challenging and loving approach they take! The director of Wee Care runs the school expertly and sets such a positive tone. Their commitment to diversity, partnering with parents, and maintaining a challenging curriculum is so impressive. And the building and grounds are lovely – surrounded by a greenbelt. Such a great place for growing minds and bodies!

I cannot say enough good things about this place!
I shopped around for quite a while trying to find a nice, clean, positive environment for my stepdaughter and thankfully stumbled across Wee Care. I felt like a lot of other day cares we’re more like a child cattle farm, they just collect your money to entertain your child for a couple hours of the day. At most other places I never really felt the love from the employees like I did here.
Wee Care employs very qualified individuals that honestly love working with children, and it really shows. They don’t just try to keep the kids busy, they actually teach! All of their activities seem geared towards stimulating the children’s minds and encourage creativity, inclusiveness, and generally good social interaction/​behavior while injecting basic learning.
The awesomeness doesn’t end there, though! The absolutely BEST part about this place is their food and snacks. Their Chef, Quinn, prepares fresh food and snacks every single day, all organic, and totally delicious; No junk here! My daughter loved it.
They really do make you feel like family here, a vibe I did not get from any other daycare I checked out. The real icing on the cake is that Wee Care is AFFORDABLE. For the quality of care they provide. They could charge a WHOLE lot more, but they undercut every other place I checked out for full time daycare.
I cant say a single bad thing about Wee Care. At the VERY LEAST, go pay them a visit and check the operation out, they’re A+ all the way and you’ll be glad you found them.

This Center is under new ownership with a new name, used to be ELDC. Amazing thing is we still have the phenomenal staff teaching and caring for our kids everyday, These people have been apart of our lives for the last 5 years. It is a blessing and relief, as a single working mom, to know my son is literally loved and cared for by the women. I tend to spend a few hours of my days off every once and while there and feel like I get to see the real deal, I trust the most precious thing in my life with this center and know I made the best decision in doing so.
