I have waited a long time to write this as I have taken some time to cool off…read more I do not recommend this child care center. The staff are extremely unprofessional. I did not find the center to be clean. It often smells of feces or if that's too high level for you as it may be for their employees, poop: it smells like poop. Many times when I would pick up my daughter, she would be soiled and need to be changed. In their care, she was frequently unclean. I was told of incidents that happened that I was not given any proof or video footage of. No other caretakers had one single issue with my girl yet these folks seemed to get 'sick of' my girl and the longer she was there, the worse things got, the more serious their claims became, and the more ridiculous the whole situation progressed to. I felt like I was dealing with 10 year olds (the employees) and truth be told, no one is/was very highly educated in early childhood development. I was jubilant when I heard word of a GED. When I asked to see everyone's/anyone's credentials, I was told that was a HIPAA violation. Ok that term applies to healthcare, not daycare/childcare. The employees always smelled like cigarette smoke or the devils lettuce. They usually looked and smelled like a nice quick shower, a bath or heck, any form of soap and water would do them wonders. If you love your kids or even like them. Don't send them here.

I would like to start our review experience with the Bent Creek U-Gro facility by giving a little…read morebackground information about our family. My wife and I are foster parents and have been on and off for a very long time. In the fall, just before the pandemic started, my wife and I were asked to come back into foster care for a family of 4 siblings. This is where we meet M. M is rather large for her age, a ball of fire, and that is being subtle, I think. As the pandemic set in, and my wife and I needed to continue working, we were in need of childcare. U-Gro welcomed us and our little girl that was placed in our care, with open arms. When we first met M, she couldn't verbally communicate at all! Look at where she is now--you can hardly get a word in edgewise at times. There is so much our little girl has been able to learn and accomplish in a very short period of time, and during a pandemic all at the same time. My wife and I attribute so much of her growth to the U-Gro team and your determination to help our little girl grow up. As with every child that we have ever had in our house, our little one has experienced trauma in her life. I am certain that there are children in your care every day that have experienced different levels of trauma in their short lives also. In an effort to limit the effect of M's past trauma, we surrounded her with support systems: family, daycare "family," speech therapist, play therapist, CASA, caseworkers, etc.  This is the point where my wife and I find ourselves completely dumbfounded and completely canceled by the U-Gro Team! Why someone would completely ignore all of their training and go outside of M's support system and play God with her life is almost unforgivable. At the time I write this the U-Gro Team has removed the two strongest supporters M has in her life,family and U-Gro, and has managed to remove all our trust in the staff there. We all have worked so hard to protect her from ever having to experience another traumatic situation, but that is exactly what has been thrust upon us by someone on the U-Gro team.   When working with families in the future, staff should meet the families of the children they work with, outside of pickup/dropoff. They should also take the time to learn more about the histories and backgrounds of the children, asking for input on behavior/discipline issues from their parents and therapist (if applicable). They would be better informed, and know how to handle situations as they arise. My wife and I were such fans of U-Gro and the work you do day in and day out only to have it squandered by someone's lack of training and knowledge of the children you work with and inspire everyday.   I want to thank you for taking the time to read our review/letter.  Sincerely  Jeff and Tammy Martin

I can't believe no one has reviewed this little gem. They've been around for I think over 20 years?…read moreThe director, Adrianne, is amazing. She is experienced, caring, organized, and loves what she does. Her leadership sets the tone for the whole school. Although this is a Jewish preschool, it is inclusive. We are not Jewish but we loved the exposure to the Jewish faith and culture our son experienced. Special shout out to miss Lori, who does the books and makes sure lunch bunch and aftercare run smoothly. Extra special shout out to miss Cynthia and Mrs. Pittman, the Fours classroom teachers. They are outstanding educators who love what they do. There is no shortage of affection and love given the children. One thing I noticed, you never hear crying, screaming children there. Seriously. In the whole year I never saw it. I believe the children know they are aafe, secure, and loved. That doesn't mean sometimes there may have been kids who experienced separation anxiety? I'm just saying if they did, they were attended to quickly and lovingly. Prices are reasonable, care options are very flexible. I believe they have before care starting maybe at 7am? I never used it so I'm not sure. I think they provide care until 6pm if you need it. I'm lucky that I have family in the area so I knew this school was good and respected- but if you're new to the area and are looking for a fantastic school for your child, try Beth Israel. We truly loved our experience there.
