I felt compelled to leave a review because of the way I frequently hear staff speaking to the children outside. On a routine basis, there is a lot of yelling such as "Stop that!", "Don't do that!", and "NO!" in very harsh tones. As a parent of a one-year-old, I personally would not feel comfortable with my child being spoken to that way. I understand childcare can be challenging, but I wanted to share my experience so other parents are aware.

The teachers are very detailed in how they approach each child. Furthermore, I very much enjoy how they spend time with the kids to help with homework and other daily tasks. Their security measures are seriously cutting edge; top notch. To sign in and out your child, the doors can only be opened by your fingerprint or personal backup pin. No joke. They really put parents minds at ease by focusing on the well being of our kids. Finally, I very much love how they make sure the kids know how much they mean to Jesus, as this is a faith based place. It's nice after a day at public school for my daughter to have connections to like minded children and teachers who love the Lord.

There was a slight mix of ages, which was great for my daughter to experience as an only child-one year it was like having older siblings and then she was the big sister! Rebecca (owner) & Hope gave me so much support as a new parent; they were completely in tune with my child. I asked for & welcomed their spot-on/invaluable feedback b/c I could see they were right; their guidance+advice and the time at Robin's Nest absolutely helped my child to develop into a magical little being. We established a solid Waldorf foundation built on a well rounded curriculum, love, & friendships we still and will continue to have for life.

My child was enrolled at this center on 8/6/18 for 7 weeks and in the first week his bottom was so…read moreraw he was bleeding and it took at least 3 days to heal. After another full week, on Friday I took him to the center with a healthy bottom, no rash or other concerns, and when I picked him up later that day his bottom was raw and bleeding again. We had to treat his bottom all weekend with extra care so as to not have him crying in pain. Within the month, he contracted Hand, Foot & Mouth disease and was out 7 full days in recovery. He returned healthy and only three weeks later he contracted Roto Virus which is another highly contagious disease "common" with children under age three. He was picked up early Monday due to fever, out Tuesday and again Friday and severely ill all weekend with 104-105 degree temps and severe diarrhea and a trip to the urgent care on Sunday. He was kept home again on Monday because it had not been a full 24 hours since he had been without fever. In total my child was out upwards of 2 full weeks combined days of illness and I like most childcare contracts, we paid for those days of care with no refund or credit; a cost upwards of $300+ in services not rendered due to illnesses contracted at this center. I have four children ages 23,16,4 and my infant son and in all my experience with childcare/school and risk of illness, I have never experienced this. When I provided notice to withdraw, I was told this is "normal" for an infant who has never been in childcare but I disagree. Never, ever have my children contracted these nasty diseases and we have received care from several other licensed centers in two plus decades. Also, when I delivered my final billing statement; instead of a pro-rated bill for private pay at the fixed rate, I was billed an additional $50+ based on an hourly rate which was not disclosed in the care contract but is the supposed rate the State pays for those receiving childcare assistance. I was told if I don't pay the disputed amount, I would be sent to collections. The owner of this center is never on-site and is not involved in the daily operations of the two centers she owns and operates. The staff are overall friendly but I would not recommend this center to anyone.
