As a parent who has always been weary on daycares and what goes on behind the scenes , I must say I…read moremade the right choice by choosing Little Friends in Grafton, WI. The new management (Mason and his wife) is a married couple with kids who attend this same daycare - who can relate to many working parents. They are so kind and understanding and have made incredible changes (clean environment, new floors, new outdoor play area). Since my 1.5 year old started, he has been thriving, HAPPY, talking/babbling way more, and during drops off he is so smiley and so excited to see everyone. The staff is so wonderful. Hardworking, positive people who always have a smile on their faces. They send me real-time updates and pics and videos constantly and I couldn't be happier. The price is actually quite affordable and I cant say enough good things about Little Friends in Grafton. - From a happy parent who lives in the area and constantly worries about her kids and every little factor in their lives!

I called the center the beginning of May to make sure they had all the information needed for our son to start. I received a text message back from Brooke the owner, basically stating that somehow they overlooked our deposit and no longer could take our son. So now 3 weeks before I return to work we are scrambling for care. Brooke did not offer any type of solution and did not seem sympathetic with the situation she has now put us in. All things aside we feel like we dodged a bullet sending our son there. If that is how Brooke runs her company that is not somewhere I would want my newborn being cared for.

My daughter has been at Grandmas House since she was three months old. The care has been…read moreoutstanding. The Director and teachers truly love the kiddos. It was a very hard decision for my husband and I to leave our first baby girl my first day back to work. You can imagine the nervousness, but even on the first day, Ms. Jefferson went out of her way to reassure she was going to be OK. Ms. Kristie was kind enough to answer all my calls/questions when I would check up(mostly in the beginning ha). Our daughter is now 14 months and looks forward to going to school and has made so many new friends. She's gained many skills along the way and doesn't seem to miss us when we drop her off:( Thank you staff and Leadership for making the transition to parenthood as working parents an easy one!

As a parent, choosing a daycare is such a stressful endeavor. Finding a high quality place with…read morecaring and knowledgeable teachers that is in the right location and is in your budget is next to impossible. Luckily after touring 4 different daycare facilities around Wauwatosa (where I live) and Muskgeo (where I work), we found Grandma's house. A huge plus is that the center is a 3 minute drive and less than 15 minute walk from our house. Also, we love V's teachers- They have made the transition to daycare so much easier, trusting that they are providing lots of opportunities for playing, learning and interacting with others. Grandma's house does family style homemade meals and they try to keep the center very clean (constant handwashing and parents must wear blue booties over their shoes when they enter). They're also very willing to go with the flow with their schedule. Rather than having exact start and end times for activities, they adjust the start and end times to fit with how the day is going. The kids nap at different times depending on their need for the day, which then allows for kids to have more one on one time while other kids nap. The only thing that is challenging for my family and this center is the cost. I think they provide financial assistance for families in great need, which we are not. But we're kind of at the edge, where this is a bit more than we can really budget, but can't imagine settling for less. However, I won't take off a star for this, because they are willing to let teachers or others who only work part of the year, take off during the summer at no penalty. This keeps her attendance there within our financial ability. Overall, we are very pleased so far. If you're searching for a daycare nearby here, make this one stop on your list!

It's a home based daycare for 2 to 5 year olds so you have all the comforts of home (with a small group of other kids) plus a preschool curriculum. Theresa posts photos and videos on the parent log-in page on her website so we can see what our son has been up to at daycare. We love the art he brings home, that he talks about the other children, and that he's learning so much -- daily life skills, social skills, and early academics. I strongly recommend Little Sprouts. Really glad we chose it for our son.

We have been sending my son to cedarburg kindercare since last year when he was 2...he was doing…read morewonderfully bc the teachers really cared and you could tell because he would talk about them all the time. Then he switched to the 3/4 year old room and he started off great but then teachers started to change often and then a child started pushing and hitting my child. At first when it happened we told my child to tell him to stop doing that if it happened again and then go tell the teacher...he must have done as we asked bc it stopped but then started up again a couple of weeks ago. Also a couple of weeks ago we noticed when we would drop him off no one would acknowledge us so of course my child didn't feel welcome and then he would tell us this child would push and hit him. What bugs me the most is that no one said anything to us but I found out from my child and then when I confronted the teacher she played it off as a game! How is pushing and shoving a game? What if someone got hurt? Also did the teacher really see it happen and wouldn't they stop it if it did? I paid all this money for him to be well taken care of and apparently no one cares! Why couldn't the teacher tell me when I go to pick up my child that something like this happened before I had to find out from my child! He use to love going but he didn't want to go anymore. Right after I brought this up to the teacher my husband took my son to drop him off and that's when they started acknowledging him but to him it seemed really fake meaning very over dramatic. The next day I called to talk to the director and she would play it off and make it seem like it was no big deal and then she proceeds to tell me nicely that it could have been my child fault! That is when I had to stop her and tell her that we wouldn't be attending there again. I found out later that day that this has happened to other parents and it is unacceptable! We are paying them a lot of money to make sure our children have a safe place to play and learn. Also another thing I need to bring up is that we decided to have my 3 year old do phonics only to find that his workbook looked like his teachers did it for him just by how perfect it looked... I am so very upset. I do not recommend kindercare to anyone especially at the cedarburg location. Please beware!!! I also sent this info to Kindercare but apparently they don't care.
