We had an extremely different experience (and a lot of frustration and tears) at a very big well known school out here.
It's not too good to be true. We've been there nearly five months now, two classes, one mid-switch in to their summer program, and it just keeps getting better.
Every morning when you walk in the wonderful smells of fresh baked goods hit you in the face. Every day you smell blueberry muffins, French toast, banana bread, and cinnamon rolls. I'm not sure what's more welcoming, the smells or all of the happy and loving teachers working together on the playground every morning.
It's the best way for a baby/toddler/pre-schooler to start their day, getting all of their early morning excitement out in a fun (and loving) environment. Every day, when you walk in, your child is greeted by not just their teacher for their classroom, but every teacher there.
The director, Ashley, is extremely responsive and fast and always kind and showing a nurturing, but very professional environment. We have never had any issues with other students, and the parents are all very friendly walking in and out every day and not snooty at all. It is the best feeling to have your child dropped off and then be so excited to go somewhere and then watch them receive a bunch of hugs walking in and then give hugs and friendly waves on the way out. The cost is more than worth it and we have yet to have any weird health issues that usually happen in daycare. I know it happens, but in five months we haven't had one illness! In our past experiences, this and unexpected pick ups were a very frequent matter. I love that it gives me the impression that their environments are kept very clean (you always see the two carts every day, one with freshly made foods and one with cleaning supplies for each room!).
They make fun plans for the babies, without asking for a world of donations every month.
This post is not long enough for me to recommend all of the things they have to offer, but just know that as a parent, our three year old has truly thrived and come out of her shell and wakes up happy and ready to go every morning to be here!
Thank you PKA, our only regret is not being a part of the family sooner
