They do not check to see if the kids actually ate . They are not allowed to bring in their own water . There is no one securing the entrance/ exit . One instructor told me my daughter ate this and that . It was strange because I know my daughter is picky . I asked my daughter what she ate that day and she said nothing . Goes to show they will lie to the parents to make it look like they did a good job taking care of your kids . The director or woman in charge is very careless . There was issues with my fees and she did not do much to help . Everytime i tried to cancel our reservations she would try to convince me not to . I ended up not needing a reservation that she basically tricked me into keeping "just in case" . I had to pay 2 weeks of child care I never used. Will not recommend this place especially if you have kids that cannot speak yet . Who knows what they go through and there is no way for you to know because they will lie to protect their business .

We are so incredibly grateful for the care provided to our son and daughter. At all times we knew they were in an environment that was safe and surrounded by people who truly cared for them. Our children grew into such wonderful little people under their watch. Not only did they learn from an academic standpoint but they continued to grow socially and emotionally. Our children entered into public school well above their peers in regards to subjects like math and reading but, more importantly, they were more mature, knew how to be kind friends, and were ready to learn. I would recommend Ahren's without any reservations.

Safety was our first concern. Ahren's access control is on point. Normally Mr John is in his office and monitors access if not there is a teacher on duty. You have to walk through the front door to access the care center. Education was our second concern. Every child in day care is taught to prepare for kindergarten. It seems like our child moving from kindergarten is ready for 2nd grade. Communication and kindness. Ahren's staff are very communication heavy. They made going through Covid easy and painless. They call and email information as well as group and one on one face to face. Ahren's is not your typical day care or education institution, it's a family, you feel like family. I highly recommend Ahren's to parents wanting their child to have that edge for the future.

EDIT to reply: *Thank you for confirming much of what I…read moredescribed in my original review. To clarify, our concern was never your safe sleep policies or licensing regulations. Our concern was the expectation that a 7-month-old consistently adapt to a lengthy group nap schedule and remain quiet for nearly an entire two-hour rest period when he naturally woke after shorter sleep cycles. As parents, we made extensive efforts to support your classroom environment and implemented every strategy suggested to us. We adjusted his home schedule, feeding routines, sleep routines, and methods of falling asleep specifically to create consistency with daycare and make things easier for staff. Despite that, it continually felt as though normal infant behavior was being treated as a behavioral problem rather than a developmental stage. I also find it interesting that while stating you value privacy, your response still publicly references alleged gastrointestinal discomfort, feeding concerns, and discussions about our home routines. That only reinforces why I intentionally kept my original review general. I completely understand that group care may not be the right fit for every infant at every stage. My review was simply intended to help other parents understand that this program may not work best for babies.* I'm really disappointed to be writing this, but I feel parents of babies under 2 should be aware of our experience. As a prior daycare/childcare professional and a parent, I would not recommend this center for babies who don't comply with strict schedules. We enrolled our infant son here because initially we liked the environment. Unfortunately, we ran into ongoing concerns about how sleep was being handled, which ultimately led to us pulling him out. Our son has consistently taken short naps (around 30-45 minutes) since birth, which is developmentally normal for many infants. However, staff began sending him home early if he did not nap for at least an hour. This "one-hour nap" expectation appeared to be a requirement they set themselves, rather than something based on his individual needs. They did come out with various "sleep plans" but it felt like the goal post was always moving and they were never satisfied with the progress he made. It also became clear that a major concern from staff was that our 7 month old was not able to follow or adhere to "quiet time." This was confusing and concerning, as infants at this age are not developmentally capable of understanding or consistently following that type of expectation. At one point, staff described him as "disruptive," which was honestly shocking to hear about a baby. That raised red flags for us about expectations being placed on infants and how their needs are being interpreted. I also want to note that in reading other Yelp reviews, I saw responses from the business that appeared to include detailed context about individual situations, which I do not find appropriate. Because of that, I'm choosing to keep some details general here, as I'm not comfortable having personal information about my child and do not want a response. We understand that caring for multiple infants is challenging, but labeling a baby as disruptive, combined with rigid and unrealistic sleep expectations, made this feel like the wrong environment for our family.

I've never met a more unprofessional person in my life and this one has to be the most upsetting by…read morefar because this is a children's center a daycare somewhere where I drop off my child while I'm at work and trust these people to take good care of my child as I would! Up until recently, everything was great in my child's classroom and then there was an incident, and my child's teacher completely changed her attitude towards my child, which is very unsettling and uncomfortable. When I have to look at her every time I drop off my child at school and she has a smug look on her face. mind you that my child is a busybody. She's a child that you need to be on top of she is extremely intelligent she's also a three-year-old and we know how that is. This particular teacher was always happy to see my child and after the incident it was almost as if she didn't even want her in her classroom anymore and that's what I dealt with dropping my child off in that classroom after the incident every time! If you lack the education, you need to provide care for a busy child then maybe you should go collect your $16.50 or $16.75 somewhere else because these are our children not to be played with or treated as such because of any situation! This teacher also never reached out to me not in an email or a text message to even talk to me about the situation even as I passed her in the hallway recently, which is very upsetting. With this being said the Director of this daycare center was very attentive and helpful when I brought to her my concerns prior to my conversation with her about this teacher my child was switched to a different classroom, a classroom with two amazing teachers, that clearly have the patience and education that they should have to work with children! Teachers that genuinely care about our children are important and I'm thankful that my daughter has two of the best now at this daycare!! I was seriously thinking about switching my child to a whole different daycare because of this, but once she was moved to a different classroom with the two teachers that have dealt with her before on numerous occasions because she was sent to that classroom on numerous occasions due to too many children in one classroom, I am at ease now knowing my child is with teachers that value their job and care about our children! Thank you Tracy and thank you teacher Janelle & Qiana the world needs more teachers like you! The 1 star is for the teacher that forgot what her actual job is!! My child's two teachers deserve 5!

Ms Amanda said it would be fine if I had stay with my daughter until she got comfortable but had pulled me aside which also made me feel uncomfortable because she knew my daughter had anxiety. It honestly felt like Ms Amanda really only cared about the kids coming in to daycare to make the money. It seem like there was more and more kids everyday with less staff. The class would be full and teachers will rotate during the day so you might not know who ends up watching your baby.
