If you have google I updated my review their as well. I am altering my initial 5 stars due to how…read morepoorly things ended with care of my 5 year old son. I think this place in theory is wonderful and such a good start for children before school. In reality the providers are tired, short fused, and unable to recognize that they are not helping parents navigate big emotions and changes in behavior. The reaction from the teachers and center director to my sons behavior was to isolate him, allowed my son to be labeled the "bad kid" and ultimately was (from my perspective) a bid to kick him out. It took us 6 months to bring our child back to center and encourage him to communicate his frustration instead of shut down. I wish I noticed how much my son had been made to feel like the "bad" kid sooner. He isn't an angel and I hope this review doesn't come off like I'm excusing anything from his end that happened. I am however disappointed in how the adults, myself included, handled my 5 year old. Disappointed in how uninterested the providers were in helping him, or my husband and I, get past this development stage. This daycare is not cheap, and I was expecting providers that cared to give a resource or provide some kind of guidance other then what actually happened. I left three stars on here because Ms. Mandy is a gem, and of the two years we were there the first year was wonderful. The things they teach the kids and the summer program are great too. It's really just the extremely poor way our time ended.

They genuinely appreciate children, have a deep understanding of child development, and have decades of experience between them. As such, they treat children as they deserve to be treated, respecting them as people and helping them to grow socially, emotionally, and academically. Our children learned that at Abbott, they and their classmates are all friends, and so they were encouraged to cooperate, support, and learn from one another. My children enjoyed going to school, formed lasting friendships and attachments to their teachers, and were well prepared for kindergarten when it was time to enter elementary school.
