We absolutely love their daycare service…read moreand here's why: -all the staff and teachers are extremely attentive, knowledgeable, professional and very caring about my kids! -they offer a "phonics" program for my 4 year old and he knows the whole alphabet and also knows how to write his first and last name. I am very satisfied with the curriculum they offer. -the infant teachers patiently and lovingly assisted my infant in taking a bottle (and she was a stubborn one!) -I truly feel like the teachers are partners with me in raising my children. They bring up concerns and praise depending on how my children are doing. -they notify parents way ahead of time of any holiday hours/closures. -they assisted me with my military fee assistance paperwork. -I get to see pictures and videos of my children all day everyday on the app. Along with real time updates on meal times, diaper changes, activities, etc. Overall, I love Eastlake Kindercare and would 100% recommend their daycare services to anyone in need of childcare!

There have been multiple incidents where my child with autism was neglected missed treated and left to sit in her own urine. The teachers have very little patience with the children's. The child to teacher ratio is too high. The books and toys are all used and there is always request for more book donations in classrooms. With the amount of money being charged weekly crazy how they can't afford good books. The director Ashley is by far the worst director I have ever encountered. She is a manipulator and controlling of staff members. Her direct line of contact is 2zero9-two4seven- 6seven4zero. The staff members will lie and cover up for one another. It is the worse daycare I have ever experienced and I will never be going back.

I have nothing but great things to say about Munchkin Palace. As an educator myself, I'm always…read morelooking for quality and professionalism in an establishment that cares for children. My kids started going to daycare in 2017, since then my children have been given the opportunity to learn, play, and make new friends. I enrolled my two boys and I was impressed with the team Arlene put together to run the daycare. Arlene has dedicated her time to making sure to run her business with integrity. Everything is pretty much straightforward and it's written in the contract. Although I can see that sometimes as parents we want more flexibility, nevertheless they are very accommodating. Also, if you start work early and/or get out of work late, Arlene and Fred make sure to pick up you kids from school (if the school is nearby) which gives you a peace of mind when you get stuck at work. I give Arlene and Fred my highest recommendation! Additionally, what makes this place even greater are the nurturing and loving ladies that work along with Arlene and Fred. It is true, Ms. Carolina and Ms. Sonia are great with the kids. The children love them, and I'm sure Arlene selected this team due to their compassion and kindness to working with small children. They are a gem to have, an perhaps one of the reasons many children continue to want to come to Munchkin Palace. I'm glad we picked this place to care for our little ones, not only do they have routines which is great for children, but they teach the kids so many things. By the time my son started school he had a head start. My kids learned the ABCs, a bunch of songs and the numbers very early in their development thanks to the structures and attention they were given. We are so pleased to have chosen this place and can't wait to use their services once again.

This is the first daycare my son attended. It was right after Covid. He started at 9 months old and…read moreended at almost three years old. We were forced to switch schools when I switched jobs and worked in a different area too far from this location. My son is now almost four years old and he still brings up his "old school" and talks about how much he misses his teachers. I loved the home cooked meals and the flexibility they provided. They are genuinely sweet, caring women. Even though I love his new school, I appreciated the attentiveness of this school. They always applied sunblock and made sure he was wearing his jacket outside when it was cold. I can't say enough good things about the teachers there.

This is a post warning other families of the nightmare we have experienced at the hands of Cecilia…read moreSandlin, owner of Cece's Day Care, in the hopes that no other parent or child have to go through this... My son started at Cece's Day Care last fall, after my mother became ill, and could no longer care for my child. At first, everything seemed great, she seemed loving, caring, and even had the kids make a poster for my mom who was battling an illness. I raved to other parents asking for referrals, even making a nice Yelp review at her request. (I have removed this). As he started her program, I started to notice my son's behavior change drastically. My sweet boy turned aggressive with his own family. ADHD runs in my family, and I sought therapy for what I thought was behavior stemming from a possible chemical imbalance earlier this spring, and other life stressors. What I found to be truth would be devastating. It started with my son coming home with multiple bite marks in his back, and being ashamed to tell me what happened. I had to ask Cecilia about it, and not once was notified. She let me know the next day that she would be speaking to the parents, but no incident report was taken. My son started begging me to not take him to school. Being a single mother, I thought he just missed being with me. I would pick up my child, and I would constantly see a new teacher, and at times could not even communicate with me. Cecilia would say she was inside the home, but no notice was given. My son was gone for an out patient medical procedure, and had been away from her day care for a few days, and my child revealed to me that she had been spanking him, along with other physical and emotional abuse. To hear that from him broke my heart...This was someone we thought cared and loved my child. I made sure to make the appropriate reports, and although it came back unsubstantiated because it was hard to physically prove, even with my son's testimony--the PTSD and trauma he is going through at the hands of Cecilia will remain forever. We are not the first family to report her for hurting children, but I pray to God we are the last. I highly recommend looking at her licensing citations, and I have attached another review regarding her assaulting another child who attended her day care. There were several other red flags, and I should've listened to my instinct before. By the grace of God, my son is just starting his journey to healing. Now that he is no longer there, and with a wonderful provider, I finally have my son back. His behavior has completely changed, and my once angry son, is smiling again. I am hoping one day he will feel safe and secure completely, and no longer be afraid of the world. Please do your research before sending your child here.

I've toured other In-Home Daycares and have not seen this in their homes. Safety is my biggest concern. If you want your kiddo to be in a fun loving environment, this is the Daycare you want to choose! *Update* - For my Military Brother's and Sister's, great daycare for Admin hours. If you have a Non-Traditional schedule, she doesn't operate weekends and will reiterate that it's only M-F. It's misleading when the website states they're opened weekends.

The Good & The Bad…read more Start with the Good: Some of the teachers are amazing. My son loves Ms. Kerry, he will ask for her on the weekends and we have to explain Ms. Kerry is at school. He talks about her on the drive to school, and can't wait to spend the day with her. She's made a comforting lasting impression on my son that I'm very grateful for. She's cares for him, fixed his "boo boos", taught him so much that words can't describe how grateful we are she's in his life, even if it is at school. He also adores Ms. Cheli, she runs a tight ship, but the children listen and follow her lead as you can see her experience is valid and spot on. The Bad: The classrooms can be too much. Especially the twos and early preschool. Teachers are stressed, over worked and Im sure crap Pay for the work they do. They deserve so much more. Many times I've walked in the building to managers and directors standing up in the office gossiping about teachers, other families. Especially teachers and other employees within the company. Not just once but several. They don't care. They don't get people can hear them when we are standing in the office. Or while I'm checking my child in the computer, the office door is open, and you have the two directors gossiping about their own employees and people can hear everything. Very unprofessional. Yet they know their teachers need help sometimes, but they would rather sit up there and gossip, and talk mad game instead of supporting the teachers and classrooms that look like a circus sometimes. Kuddos to the teachers hanging and holding on, your management is something else (not in a good way), we only stay for the specific teachers my son loves, but I know as he gets older he will not always have them.
