Stocklmeir CDC

Lots of activities for kids to do after-​school care

I have a first grader who LOVES to come here. The center provides such positive energy, and it’s all about the children. The devotion and attention the children are getting there is heart warming. Orchid, Stan, Linda, and Mrs Evangeline to say the least, are doing nothing but the best with such tenderness, passion and affection, it’s like they’re on a «higher mission».
During camp time, the program just keeps getting better. They hold stations around various subjects: science, art, food etc. Always the appropriate book, songs and activities to support the overall subject.
In addition my son have met some wonderful kids, friends whom he get to see during school year at school.
Last thanks goes without a doubt to Robin, who runs the place with such attention and care, and most of all PASSION to serve well the children.

We were not happy with the Stocklmeir CDC. There are some very nice teachers, who seem friendly, caring and fun, but some are unfriendly, not caring and are just not great with kids as educators/​teachers must be. To be fair, they do create a safe environment. The facilities are nice and clean. Good toys, an aquarium, birds, a lizard and other animals. However, if your child will spend every day there, you would want your child to love going there, to learn something and to feel cared for. Our child does not feel cared for and we feel that he gets nothing out of the CDC due to lack of motivation or inability of some of the teachers to engage and interest kids. In addition, if you ever need extended care (e.g. before school care for which they charge $ 20/​morning), they are going to make it very difficult for you even though nowhere in the parent handbook does it say that you can only use extended care once a month or no more than 3 times/​3 months. If you ever need extended care care more than once a month, they will say that you need to sign up for before and after school care, which is over $ 700/​month (just to bring my child 2/​month in the morning)??? There are not many options for afterschool care in the area, unfortunately, but we are certainly getting out of Stocklmeir CDC. That said, we are probably very picky parents, yet we absolutely LOVE both the Nimitz and the Stocklmeir teachers and the environment. So maybe we feel right about the Stocklmeir CDC.
