I would HIGHLY recommend NOT taking your children to this childcare center. The staff is very…read moreunprofessional and the caregivers do not take proper care or pay close enough attention to the children. My son came home with a deep cut on his finger and busted lip and no one could explain what happened. They offered to change his class which I did but never felt comfortable because the new classroom was not Visible from the outside as the first one was. I've witnessed caregivers being very rough with the children , including my own , when she was changing his diaper and didn't realize I was standing outside the window , she throw up down very aggressively and changed his diaper rough. I convinced myself I was being paranoid because he's my "baby" but i wasn't. As mothers we have intuition and we have to trust it. Mother to mother, find another daycare, there's tons of other options within miles. I will also try to upload the photo of my sons injuries and the email I sent addressing this matter.

Since the Centre is in the SW Medical complex, they cater to the babies of those employees but non-employees can bring their little ones here too. My two year old has only gone for a day but she absolutely loves it! I'll update later... Update: It's now 5 months since my initial post and I'm just so grateful for this place. I love that parents have to go through 3 passcode protected places to get into the facility: once to get into the parking garage if you go that route, once on the external door of the daycare, and once more after you've checked your little ones in with your fingerprint. Other daycares make you wait upfront and they go get your kid....not a fan. I like the built in accountability that places on staff. If a parent can walk in at any moment, staff really have to be fully aware of every action taken and word spoken. I have an infant and a preschooler who both love it. There are set schedules for each class and my infant has gotten super strong from all the tummy time she gets. She loves being around the other babies and they grin and giggle when they get to bounce up and down on their bouncers together. The staff are wonderful and I haven't seen any turnover. Parents of infants, take note, there's pretty much always a waiting list. I've talked to several moms who put their little ones on the waiting list while they were still pregnant...but you might get lucky.

My son has attended Firehouse Kids since he was 4 months old and I could not possibly be more…read morepleased with the loving care and educationally stimulating environment Firehouse Kids has provided to him. I am a working mother, so I was only able to take off twelve weeks after my son was born. Needless to say, I was terrified about the thought of leaving my infant child with someone other than myself. So I did what any mother in my position would do: I researched every childcare option under the sun and put potential providers under the microscope until I found one I could feel good about. I narrowed my search down to a handful of places, and then went to each one's website, DPFS, & interviewing and observing the centers firsthand. Firehouse Kids were very professional and took my requests to interview them seriously (twice, went there before my son was born and again after he was born). When speaking with Mrs. Ashley, director of Firehouse Kids, I felt that she understood what an important and difficult decision this was for me. The way that she explained what a serious decision it was for parents to place their angels in her care and how that knowledge guides and informs everything they do at Firehouse Kids really struck me. Every day I get a daily report of what he ate, diaper changes and how long he slept & the only suggestion or wish they did further would be to provide what he did, such as circle time or puzzles or coloring or played on the playground, etc.. I feel that information would make me feel like I know what he did all day and that I was somehow a part of it, which is something I know all working moms struggle with. So a year & half later Firehouse Kids is such an important part of our lives, Infant I teachers ( Mrs. Helen (absolutely AMAZING), Mrs. Kaitlyn & Mrs. Amanda who spoiled our baby boy in their care) & Infant II teachers (Mrs. Lorri (his 2nd mama), Mrs. Hillary & Mrs. Michelle who have been there for all his "first") has made our son so happy, & go above and beyond what is expected of them. As you can tell we grew very fond & attached to the teachers we dropped off our son with in the mornings. They do so many wonderful things to show that they value our trust and support of them. They're very caring and upfront and honest if they have issues or concerns, which I love because you have to keep the communication lines open.

I won't be too specific as I understand that my experience is contextual but if I were a parent I would be aware of the following The Lack of tangible progress and documentation; what the sold as curriculum is NOT what we saw. Insufficient engagement and educational activities; observed periods were often filled with unstructured time and excessive nap durations.

In addition, I'd like to know what is actually being taught in Pre k here? My child was previously…read moreenrolled in a Children's Courtyard where she had 10* worksheets and several different paper crafts they would make in her folder that she would bring home every Friday. They had journals; the teacher would have a sentence written on the board before class begins daily and the students would copy it, using the finger space method to space out the words. This place does not use worksheets at nor are they practicing writing their names or anything else. They are not practicing holding pencils or writing ANYTHING!!! In three weeks of attendance, she brought home ONE picture she had drawn- ONE!!!. Granted, she missed a couple days during her time enrolled here, I refuse to believe they were actually doing any kind of schoolwork on those days my child happened to not be there. I thought I'd be able to rely on this school, however it is hardly a school; it's a kiddy jail with a pre k teacher that doesn't have patience and screaming is the only way she can try to keep control of the classroom. I may lose patience with my little one at home from time to time, however I will not PAY someone else to do it on a daily basis. I confronted the teacher about this on my daughter's second day, repeating to her what my daughter had told me. She admitted " Yes, I do scream, I do get loud with them, but I always apologize though." Excuse me!!! WHYYY are you screaming at 4 & 5 year olds!?!?! Mind blowing!!! I am in agreement with the other reviews that stated they had the feel that this place strictly about business. I would not be surprised if they are offering discounts for positive reviews, because ain't NO WAY!!!

The staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in the kids' growth. My child is always excited to come in each morning, which says a lot. The classrooms are clean and organized, and the teachers keep a great balance between learning and play. I appreciate the consistent communication--daily updates, photos, and quick responses whenever I have a question. It gives me real peace of mind. Most importantly, I can see how much my granddaughter has grown since starting here. The team creates a safe, encouraging environment where kids feel confident and cared for. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a trustworthy, positive place for their child!

I am deeply disappointed and concerned. My child has been…read moreattending this facility for quite some time, and the recent dismissal of Ms. Candice, one of the most loving, nurturing teachers, is nothing short of heartbreaking. To say I'm upset is an understatement. As a parent, my top priority is the care, safety, and emotional well-being of my child--and right now, I have serious concerns. The decision made by Melissa, the director, feels cold and calculated. For her to dismiss such an impactful caregiver and then deflect responsibility as if it wasn't her call is beyond unacceptable. Let's be honest--this is a daycare, not a corporation. These are real children with real emotional needs, and parents who deserve transparency and honesty. Ms. Candice showed up for these kids every single day, even when she had personal things going on--because she cared. You don't just replace that kind of heart. What's worse is that when issues are brought to Melissa's attention, she acts like she's going to address them--but nothing changes. Kids are no longer being nurtured. Hygiene standards are slipping. And still, we're expected to pay premium rates? Parents deserve better. Our children deserve better.

I'm very concerned about how this daycare handles discipline and supervision. In my experience,…read morethere seems to be favoritism when staff members have their own children in the classroom. When issues happen, it feels like other children are blamed instead of addressing everyone involved fairly. My nephew was accused of behavior that did not match what I've personally observed from him. When we asked for clarification or video footage, we were told cameras were not working, which made the situation even more frustrating. Communication from administration was unprofessional, and we did not feel that concerns were taken seriously. As a paying family, we expected better accountability and transparency. I would recommend that other parents ask detailed questions about supervision policies, discipline practices, and camera systems before enrolling their child."
