The caring center is the only day care we've had our son in, and it's the only one we've needed. We…read morestarted there when he turned 2, and he is about to turn 8 and still attends after school programs. It is a Christian daycare but does not proselytize, it simply incorporates good values. It stays up to date with teaching styles, especially since it became one of several daycares in the area to partner with the school district in hosting 4k. One year, our son was having some struggles, and we looked around at alternatives but decided to instead switch him to the montessori program, which was perfect. That program is something special, run by the extremely patient and competent Ms. Erin, and it is even available with the 4k program. Every problem we've had had been taken seriously and handled delicately. I would recommend this to anyone.

She was a no-show. Called to find out she was off. Called main number Tuesday. Henry said they would pick up Wednesday. They showed up Wednesday an hour late, but I wasn't concerned because there was snow on the ground and I knew they would refuse again, legitimately. Called Michelle, she was told I would move the three pieces to my garage. That conversation never took place. Lots of communication issues here and I have wasted 10 days time.

This place needs some love and I am literally so sad I never checked this place out until recently…read more I came here looking for a couch and certainly left with one which I've included below. I'll say that you shouldn't go in with expectations hoping you'll find something same day. However, I've already been back more than once this week and I keep leaving with things I need! I got this couch for $100 and I feel lucky! One of the legs could use replacement for aesthetics but it is sturdy in its current state even if don't fix it. I also picked up a table (I'm using it as an end table) for $15 because it was missing 4 nuts to attach the top to the legs. It had a few scratches on the table top but a little sharpie fixed it. I went in again and found a nice circular mirror for $35. I've been super pleased with my finds. Things are constantly being added so if you love something that much, buy it! Not everything is a "deal" per say but you can find some good things here. Check out their Facebook page as they've been a little bit more active on adding some of the things they've been selling which got me into their actual store!

The showers are huge- better than the one at my apt, heh! Also, the Ironworks Cafe has lots of potential, and the coffee is good and strong. EDIT: The fitness center is now 3 dollars a use, and you can get multi-use passes. Still my place for working out!

JFM has the best teachers and staff. We couldn't have enrolled him in a better daycare. There are family events scheduled throughout the year for special holidays or just simply, family movie nights where children get to vote for a movie. It is a fun and safe environment for children to learn and grow. 100% recommend JFM!
