My son started at this school when he turned two. They only take two year olds through VPK (that's…read morethe only negative thing about the school). Ms. Sarah is the two year old class assistant and she is firm, but loving. She talked to my son about the weather and his feelings and he would come home saying the funniest stuff. She treated him like the little person he is, not just another kid. The lead teacher retired this year after 12 years and was replaced by the wonderful, enthusiastic Ms. Alba. Now that he's in the 3 year old classroom, the kids take turns as line leaders and calendar leaders, learning how to share responsibilities while also learning about the months of the year. They also work on their letters, colors, and numbers, of course. The school has a better handle on managing any rare instances of discipline problems than other schools I've experienced. My son has learned great ways to share; how to ask for a turn rather than just ripping something away from another child... and how to accept when it isn't his turn. He's always been tiny and was picked on at other schools, but just as he is learning how to use his words to deal with problems, so are the other children and I find that he doesn't get roughed up at this school. Some Facts: The school is non-denominational. They have the best playground in town. It is open all summer and works great for government workers who are headed downtown. Its holiday schedule matches up with the government's holiday schedule. No fall or spring break to scramble to find a babysitter for. I think the price is very reasonable. You can buy a really healthy lunch for an additional $2.50 per day. The menu changes, but they always have a fruit, a vegetable, a protein and a whole grain. Sorry such a long review ... but it's hard for me to let him go and grow up. The only relief is knowing that when I can't be with him, he is in a place that loves him, protects him and helps him grow.

I was snotting everywhere but she didn't care. I was so much worse than the baby.The prices are a lot more than stated above.

Great food and fun for the kids. Lots of activities and stimulation. I hate that we are going to loose this place in our move. I feel like we are leaving grandmas and aunties behind . If you're looking for a place, look no more. This is it.

These two things were very important to us. We toured other schools in the area but found most of them to be more daycare then school with teachers that were very young and only had the minimum requirements. I love that not only do I have a relationship with my children's teachers but with the administration and most of the staff. Every teacher in the building address my children by their names and always make us feel welcomed and loved. I only regret that since it's a small school not everyone can have this experience! We LOVE YOU IHA!

His water and power bills went down and he didn't pay his teachers. But he said his billing would be the same because his costs were the same. He then kicked my kids out because I left a note asking how he justifies his claim. Meanwhile theres mold, the roof leaks, the ceiling was caving in in the baby room. When I said I was advocating for the teachers, he said, "it's not your place to be their advocate." He also reminded me that, "[I'm] the parent." Yeah, I am the parent. That's why I'm advocating for the women in direct contact with my kids and I am holding you accountable, Patrick. He also called me an "adversary" and said he couldn't trust me. All because he couldn't be professional regarding a note.

We had to stay with this childcare facility since we had no other place to turn to. We were finally…read moreable to leave. The infant room was where we had our issues. The children/babies were not strapped in to the highchairs and then were left unattended while workers changed diapers in other room or were tending to other children. Babies were unattended with bottles propped. Causing my son to have multiple ear infections. This can also cause choking if not monitored. My baby was fed food other than what I specified and brought multiple days. (at one point it was a week straight) I had witnessed the wrong bottle (of milk) given to the wrong child on a few occasions. One morning I was compelled to stay until 9 am and help because they had too many babies/children ratio per worker. I would repeatedly mention issues but wouldn't show my anger since I didn't have any where to go and didn't want to piss off the people watching my child. I just repeatedly stated my expectations and wishes and it would be disregarded. Even though they had too many children in the infant room they would keep accepting new applicants. Children that were not ready to move up in classrooms would and other times children that were ready to move up were not able to because of number of children and the classes/rooms being understaffed. Changing table may have been "sanitized" but daily I would change my child and see food, hair, dust,and dirt covering edge of the changing table. I would end up cleaning the changing table. Same with the floor. grass and dirty on the rug that the babies would be playing and crawling on. I would have to remove grass from babies mouths. Noses were constantly left untouched with snot rolling out of noses and into mouths. Workers would see and just keep playing with babies while this snot was getting all over kids and toys. Witnessed prescription being stashed in kitchen drawer. was told it was pain pills. These could easily be accessed by children. Often I would show up and no one was watching the children eating in the front building. No one would greet me at all or not until I made it passed to the infant room. This is just some of it... We were not the only ones to get fed up and have to pull our child. we couldn't handle it any longer. Now family is on a rotation until we are picked from waiting lists. The daycare still had the nerve to ask for money to pay for the 30 days notice that they didn't get. We enjoyed out time there in the beginning. The more time I spent there, the more I saw with my own eyes. I never met the owner. I like some of the workers there on a personal level. Some were nice. This doesn't make up for other workers or poor care. Couldn't stand another day. 6/25/2014
