The check in process is easy and I can do all the paperwork before I arrive so the wait time is minimal before being brought back to donate. I have had very good experiences with all of the people drawing my blood. They are skilled, efficient, friendly and professional. I am usually in and out within 45 minutes. I do wish they had more zero sugar drink options as well as healthy snacks when I am finished. I always want to have a snack but don't want to eat sugary or fatty snacks. Carrots and hummus or string cheese or something like that would be easy to keep in the fridge with the drinks. I love all of the promotions they have and love knowing I am making a difference. Easy parking!

The staff here is every bit as nice, friendly and professional as when I first started here in 2011. One tip - it's my understanding that state employees are allowed 2 or so paid hours to donate blood. If you work it right..say on a Friday .... just sayin'.

Who was the mom!? Not that tiny kitten I've been adopted by??? YES! They were indeed hers and another week later, she had gone and left them to me to care for! Of the Three who lived to be old enough to have spayed, I was able to get them treated on vouchers issued from C.F.A. And together we put the brakes on spreading the population and diseases. The three are thriving near and around my little minifarm. catching voles and rats and once in a while allowing me a full on cuddle session.

In our contract/set up plan, they had written 250 chairs and stated they would be able to fit 10 guest per table, and that I could bring the banquet permit the day of the reception. 2 days before the wedding, they call me stating that they cannot fit 10 guests per table and that they could not have 250 guests in the venue. They also needed the banquet permit at least a week in advance. They were extremely rude over the phone and in person. Only provided 230 chairs, not the 250 they promised us. And continued to state that "i don't know who is telling you this information about the guest count and what not but that's not how we do it" . They never apologized for the inconvenience or anything. I explained we would have never booked with them if they could not do 250 guests. But they kept raising their voice repeating the same thing "I don't know what to tell you. That's not how we run things" . I would NEVER recommend this place. Ever. To anyone. As a daughter of a retired vet, it disappoints me that they would treat customers the way they treated me and my family the day of my wedding date. But since I have to have 1 star, I give it to the worker, Joe. He was the ONLY person who would help us get things done. Management was awful. But joe was awesome. Thank you Joe.

If you come to place one to work there are a few things to be aware of. First thing is they could…read morecareless about the staff and only care about there clients. And forget if you have any type of family emergencies or even having a baby they get pissed if you miss any work to be there for the birth of your child, and don't expect to be able to stay home for a few days to enjoy the new life you brought into the world cause they will get pissed and annoyed. Even if your baby ends up in the hospital cause there really sick and you want to stay to at least get test back and figure out what's wrong with them they will Scold you for caring about your child and threaten your job for not caring about your work. Because to them work comes first and not your family. Even better if a client threatens you with a knife and your life they don't care they will take a month to do an investigation with no pay or call you back to inform you how much longer, they won't even have you come in to discuss what will happen, they will just send a letter saying your fired cause someone pulled a knife on you, and will use the days you missed to be there for your baby being born and in the hospital against you saying that is part of the reason you where fired. This place says they are Christians and care but in all honesty if it's not there clients and money they could care less about you. Also the head boss don't ever expect a call cause pansys don't ever try to talk to you, he will try any way he can not to have to talk to you and if he does he will send a letter to communicate and if you have any questions about it, just forget it cause once he's done with you nothing you have to say matters. So if you want a place that doesn't care about you as staff and all about money and want you to careless about your family this is by far the place for you!!

From the moment I entered the facility I knew they were far better suited to care for our daughter than any of the other locations I had toured. The area was clean and the management was friendly. As for the infant room the ladies that care for the babies make sure you feel comfortable. As a new mom I'd spend at least 10 minutes each day getting a play by play of our daughters developments. Kayla and Alissa work hard to know your child and provide them a safe and loving environment. With daily activities, from bubbles, to paint, and outdoor adventures, Childrens Courtyard has got it right!

Update 7/29: We are still loving the Children's Courtyard…read moreSouth, specifically my son's Pre-K class and teachers. The teachers truly care about their students and want them to thrive. My son loves going to school and loves his teachers. Can't say enough good things, if you're looking for childcare with a quality pre-k program please consider The Children's Courtyard South. ------------ We really love The Children Courtyard SOUTH. My son started at the North center and he was not thriving there at all. Then he was bit on the face by another child and they didn't do enough in our eyes to protect our child from further incidents. He had been bit a total of three times in about a two week span. The first two incidents weren't reported to me and I found out by my son. When the child bit my son's face I had had enough and was very furious with the North center. They opted to not remove the boy who kept biting my son so we removed our son and began care at the South center. Anyways, we were really hesitant to give the South center a chance because we were just not happy with what had happened at the North center, but the two facilities operate completely separately. Because they are separate it gave us the confidence and hope to give CCY South a chance. We are so glad we transitioned to CCY South. Initially it took awhile to get our paperwork transitioned over to the South center. It was a little confusing and we weren't guided through the process as well as I had hoped, but eventually we got it all figured out with the director Samantha. The staff and teachers at CCY South are amazing. My son absolutely loves his pre-k teachers Ms. Brittany and Ms. Larissa. They give all the kids so much care, attention and kindness. My son missed a day of school while we were visiting family and he told me he had to go back to school because Ms. Brittany would miss him. Tip: 1. Sign up for the Brightwheel App so you can easily communicate with the school. They also send you photos and videos of your child throughout the day. I love the communication regarding naps and meals. I feel connected even when I am away at work. It is secure and you only have access to your child. 2. Sign up for the WatchMeGrow App so you can see a live video feed of your child throughout the day. It's a great way to stay connected while you are away from you child. If you have a need for childcare and want your child to receive quality care and an education geared toward their age level, please check out CCY South. My son loves his school, his teachers, and the staff here. He is now thriving and we love CCY South. Oh and I should add that they handle incidents very well and communicate with the parents each time and incident happens.
