We have be using Young Innovators for over 1.5 years. To me there are daycares and there are places…read morewhere learning is cultivated and explorations is explored. After trying a few daycares we found Young Innovators and our toddler went from being upset about being dropped off to being excited. That is a huge weight off our shoulders knowing that he is enjoying his time there. The staff from the front desk and teachers throughout the building know my child's name and says hello to him everyday. We also use this parent's night out on the last Friday of each month and we drop off our 8 year old as well. During summer we like the summer camp for our 8 year old as well. With having themed weeks that we can choose which to attend such as Space week, CSI week etc it allows him to choose which weeks he finds most interesting. On those weeks they will go on fields trips and do find task at the building that is related to the week's theme.

My niece currently attends Kids Together. My sister and brother in law did in depth research when…read moresearching for a preschool for their daughter to attend, and they could not be happier with their experience thus far. My sister has to be one of the most OCD people when it comes to health, wellness, and cleanliness. So I know that she would not let my niece spend any amount of time in a place that she did not feel was sanitary. Secondly, kids are bound to get sick, just like us! There's no other way around it. Should I quit my job because I catch the cold my co-worker has passed around? I also find it terrible that one of your issues is "endless fundraising" to charities. There is no pressure to donate. It is completely voluntary. Furthermore, I find it appalling that you are complaining about fundraising for great causes such as "breast cancer." My sister happens to be a cancer survivor, and I've sadly lost several family members to this terrible disease. So if my niece's school wants to take one small step to finding cures for terrible diseases, then I say, more power to them! As far as contributing to the education of our youth's teachers, I completely agree with the other good reviewer. In today's economy, teachers are being let go, budgets cut, and education going on the back burner. I am more than happy to contribute to the training of the teachers who are enriching and educating the lives of our children. After all, they are our future. Also, lots of schools ask for help with supplies. So it's not out of the ordinary. And again, my sister has never felt pressured to pay for anything outside of the regular tuition. Lastly, the comment that got me the most heated when reading this awful, uneducated review, was the fact you were complaining about spending time doing an art activity with your child on the weekend. Are you kidding me? I thought most parents look forward to the weekend to be able to spend that quality time with their children. What an artistic and fun way to do this! I actually have two of my niece's artwork pieces proudly displayed on my refrigerator. She was so excited to hand deliver her artwork that she did specifically for her favorite aunt and uncle. By the time I got to the end of the review and read the complaint about teachers' gifts, I was down right annoyed. I find it nice for the preschool to offer up suggestions for those parents that want to get their children's teachers a thank you gift. I've seen several of my friends ask for teacher gift suggestions on Facebook. If someone can provide a list and make it easier, all the better! Next time you feel the need to leave a bad review of any company, I suggest you bring real disadvantages to the table, instead of these ridiculous ones. I also suggest maybe doing something fun this weekend with your children; if it doesn't take up too much time in your busy schedule!

Do not listen to the illiterate person who wrote the review below. If you read through her horrible…read morereview and notice all the grammar and spelling mistakes, it completely discounts her ability to professionally rate a school. I will address some of her issues before I tell you how amazing this school is... So-called disadvantage #1: First of all, a 2 year old's bowel movements are unpredictable, if the toddler cannot tell the teacher he has pooped, it may take a few minutes for her to notice it.. Secondly, the sickness that your child was experiencing is a normal part of the child getting his immune system prepared for the rest of his life. It is unavoidable for children to be well when around other children but it helps prepare them for society and future illnesses. And FINGER is spelled F-I-N-G-E-R... your toddler may have learned that already from his Kids Together, go ask him. You must've forgotten to add to the advantages the part that your 2yr old was sitting down independently reading a book,which is amazing. So-called disadvantage #2 I have never once been specifically ASKED to sponsor a teacher for training. There is a generic request sent out to parents that would like to voluntarily participate. There is no pressure, no guilt.. just the ability to educate teachers to assist in educating your child. Personally you should have attended these classes and benefited from the English/writing classes. The ADVANTAGE is that the teachers are more prepared and it helps keep the costs of running the daycare down so your tuition is reasonable and the teachers can get paid more. So-called disadvantage #3 This disadvantage infuriated me.. this is what is wrong with our society. LAZY parents who do not want to invest time in educating or even spending time with their child. And I quote: "I did not see any reason that I have to spend time to do art work from the daycare on weekend, just because my child is too young to do anything" No child is ever too young to do artwork and it saddens me that you feel you should not help them on the weekend. It's selfish and pathetic. The teachers are trying to create an environment for parents to do something fun with their children and show all their friends what they created. Imagine how proud your child would be to walk in and talk about the amazing artwork he got to make with his mom/dad this weekend.. instead you probably just sat him in front of the TV all weekend because you needed some time to yourself. So-called disadvantage #4 I believe the list that was sent out was help the parents that CHOOSE to give gifts out. There were no requirements, no judging.. only voluntary. So-called disadvantage #5 First of all, this school hasn't even been open for 10years. Secondly the retention rate of ANY school (including the one your child currently attends), will always be low because of salary and the stress from watching 12 children all day. Clearly you cannot handle watching one child on the weekend because you are complaining about spending time doing art work with him.. Now, that I have disputed all of your disadvantages, let me tell everyone else some of the advantages you forgot to mention... #1 - This school has an amazing security system set up in which the parents must enter the clean and welcoming lobby and enter a password specific to each family. Only then can you gain access to the children and their classroom. I have yet to enter the lobby without a front desk manager, who always has a warm smile for me and my child. (They always know her name too.) #2 - Art work of the children are displayed EVERYWHERE! My child loves running to her room and seeing her friends and her artwork. She is so proud of it and happy to show me what she did. #3 - This childcare is Gold Seal Accredited from the department of children and families. They have a NAC accreditation as well which is something every parent should look for in their childcare, regardless if they attend this one or not. http://dcfsanswrite.stat... Also, if you look at the reports on the provider page, you will see almost perfect Inspections from the department of children and families. If you go to their website and look at the 'honors section' you will see other awards they have received throughout the community. #4 - The children are REQUIRED to wash their hands when they enter the classroom. This was amazing for me to see because it enforces health and general cleanliness of the children and the room. #5 - Their disciplining involves redirection instead of punishment. I don't know about you, but I prefer this method when someone else is left with my child. #6 - My daughter has LOVED all of her teachers. #7 - Flexible days #8 - Big kid cafeteria! I've reached my word max but I love this school and so does my child, highly recommend this school and happy that the previously negative reviewer has left.

This daycare has truly been a blessing, especially when you don't have family nearby…read more My two children have been here for almost three years, and the experience has been amazing from start to finish. The teachers and staff are incredibly attentive, caring, and professional. I want to give a special shoutout to Mrs. Christy (Director), Mrs. Margaret (Infant Room), Mrs. Patricia and Mrs. Alex (Young Twos), as well as Ms. Jasmine, Ms. Arushi, and Ms. Shay. They've all played a big part in our children's growth and happiness. The entire team is patient, loving, and always willing to listen to concerns and support your child's needs. We're moving out of state, which is why I felt it was important to leave this review now. Our most recent experiences have been just as positive as when we first started--which says a lot about their consistency and dedication. We're truly grateful and will miss this daycare so much!
