Our daughter has been enrolled here since she was 6 weeks old and it was the best decision we have…read moreever made. We love the staff here as they have so much compassion and love for the kids in the center. In the infant room the teachers are very flexible and make sure the infant's day is as close to a day at home as possible. They allow you to bring in food and snacks from home once the infant is old enough for solid foods and have no problem adjusting to any meal substitutions. Our child loves coming to the center and lights up every time she sees her teachers. They incorporate age specific activities in their curriculum to further the child's growth. Education is a big part of the curriculum in all classrooms which is very important to us. The Gingerbread House was voted best daycare center in Syracuse for a reason and I would highly recommend enrolling your child(ren) here.

We had a terrible experience at this daycare. The director lacks professionalism and any level of…read morebusiness acumen. The child/teacher ratio is extremely skewed during evening pick up, and it is obvious the few teachers present during that time are overwhelmed with the number of children they are responsible for. The children (of varying age groups) are herded together in either in one room during the winter or inclement weather, or out on the playground during nicer weather. There were several occasions when I picked my child up without the teachers noticing me there, and certainly no acknowledgement whatsoever of my presence. It's important to note that this facility is located within the Salina Town Hall, and criminal court takes place once or twice a week starting around 5pm. While on the playground during pickup, children are exposed to the inmates coming in from the county jail for their court appearances. Needless to say, our child is no longer in attendance.

My grand-daughter was required to change programs since she was accepted in UPK. SonShine was much better for her than the current program.

We just started and moved from another daycare and you can tell this one is better! There's more curriculum, healthier food, the teachers are so kind and patient and VERY capable, and my daughter is so happy and CLEAN at the end of the day. Naptime is set in stone with dim lighting and soft music and they work with her crib issues to get her asleep. This is a friendly, all involved daycare that I can feel good about her being in. If you can get in here, please don't hesitate, it's top notch. And being in the federal building, it's secure. I also love that they include what she is developing when she does an activity (motor skills, etc). And you get a detailed report at the end of the day!
