Our daughter started at Allie Alligator when she was just 3.5 months old. We truly loved her…read moreteachers--they've been wonderful, caring, and loving toward her. However, the lack of action from management has been incredibly disappointing and frankly, heartbreaking. Since April 1st, our now 14-month-old daughter has been bitten over 10 times. Of those bites, four broke the skin, one led to a thumb infection that she's still dealing with today, she was bitten twice in one day just two weeks ago, and today, she was bitten in the face. We know toddlers bite--it's developmentally normal--and we were more than understanding of a couple of incidents. But at this point, she is sustaining bites every week, sometimes multiple times per week, and it's gotten to the point where we fear for her safety every time we drop her off. After about the fifth bite, we brought our concerns to management and were told a "plan" was in place and that they were working with the parents. We're now almost a month out from that conversation, and nothing has changed. In fact, the bite pattern has gotten significantly worse. The bites now take nearly a week to heal, and because she's being bitten so often, she constantly has visible bite marks on her little body. Today, I got a call at work saying another child had bitten my daughter in the face. HER FACE. This is the 10th or 11th bite since April 1st. My husband went to speak with the office, expressed our concerns, and let them know our daughter would not be returning. He was met with, "I'm sorry you feel that way." Sorry we feel what? That our daughter isn't safe in your care? That we feel awful dropping her off each day, wondering what new injury she might come home with? That we expect better protection for babies who rely entirely on you to keep them safe? That response told us everything we needed to know about how seriously our concerns were being taken. We are devastated to be pulling her out of a place where she truly loved her teachers, but we can't keep her somewhere that fails to protect her and dismisses repeated, serious concerns. Please take this into account if you're considering this facility for your child. I do want to sincerely recognize Eva, Jill, and Maddie from the infant room, and Nadia, Anya, and Abi from the toddler room. These women have been phenomenal with our daughter. They are the reason we stayed as long as we did. They truly love and care for these kids like their own, and they deserve far better support from leadership.

After five incredible years with A Place To Grow, I can wholeheartedly say this has been one of the…read morebest decisions we've ever made for our family. From day one, it was clear that this wasn't just a daycare, it was a second home filled with warmth, care, and genuine love. The staff are exceptional, nurturing, patient, and truly invested in each child's well-being and development. Our children were not only safe and happy, but constantly growing, learning, and thriving. The balance between structured learning and play was perfect, and thanks to the strong foundation they built here, both of our kids transitioned into kindergarten with confidence and curiosity. We especially appreciated the consistent communication, thoughtful updates, and open-door approach of the teachers. We always felt informed and supported. Leaving APTG is bittersweet, it's hard to say goodbye to a place that has been so special to us. If you're looking for a daycare where your child will be truly seen, supported, and celebrated, A Place to Grow is it. Erika Mom of Jake and Elin

I can't say enough things about CCCC. My child was on every waiting list in cranberry for a year…read moretowards the end of the COVID lockdown and this was the one center I truly wanted him to end up at. I'm so grateful because we've had such a good experience here. My child started here when he was 1.5 and now he is 4. Every single stage/room has always had loving employees. I don't even like calling them employees because they are truly like a 2nd or 3rd mother to my kiddo. He asks when he's going to school every single day, there has NEVER been a day where he asked to stay home or didn't want to go. To me, this is the most important sign of a center that takes care of their kids like their own. The location is so deceiving when driving by, but the owner takes SUCH good care of the place, it truly feels more like a home. I have an older child who's been through 3 different centers and there is a clear difference of care from our past experiences. From the celebrations, decorations, the plants, the play area, the crafts, the gifts made, down to what they are taught is so thought in detail. I've seen the owner decide one day that one of the rooms wasn't bright and she didn't like the color any longer and decided to paint it over the weekend. She is always improving the place and it is CLEAR it is well taken care of. My son runs to his teachers every morning and gives them big hugs and even on the weekends he's asking if they miss him as much as he misses them each of his teachers have been so sweet and I'm so thankful for them. Truly, a daycare that feels like a home is the ultimate goal. This place is a hidden gem!

They are communicative and I completely trust them. The same women have been caring for my kids for 3+ years (with a few others sprinkled in). It's been great to not have staff turnover and consistent caregivers that I have grown to know and trust. It definitely has a homier, more family feel. Which I think is rare and I much prefer! I would recommend them highly!

The owner and employees of Chartiers St. Daycare are very passive aggressive and unprofessional…read more By passive aggressive, I mean that they were never willing to address our issues and just terminated us. In the cruel and highly unprofessional termination letter they snuck in our daughter's lunch box, among many other things, they said "How can you expect us to take care of your kids, when you don't?" This was even though we picked up our children and took them to the doctor, whenever they told us to. Almost always our children wouldn't have temperatures when we got home and this led us to ask questions because, as two working parents, this was affecting our livelihood. They also had us send our son to the pediatrician because they said he had thrush, but his pediatrician said it was just food on the roof of his mouth. They didn't like the doctor's finding and didn't trust the pediatrician's office anymore. Furthermore, they told our 3 year old daughter, who has asthmatic issues and frequently gets sick, that she got everyone at daycare sick, then they told us they didn't say that to her, but then told us she did get everyone sick after they gave us our termination letter. Finally, they terminated us knowing we both have full time jobs, no other daycare options, and another very complex, special needs child at home to take care of. Daycare is hard to come by, but unless you're ok with not being allowed to have an opinion and sending your children to passive aggressive, judgemental employees who can never be wrong, I wouldn't recommend this daycare.

There are security cameras, a door keypad system and all of the staff wear matching t-shirts which makes it easy to identify who is an employee and who is a parent/passer by. They keep things organized and clean, which I am sure is hard to do with a bunch of little ones running around! In the infant room we have been very happy with her teachers Miss Julie and Miss Lauren. They really care about our daughter when she is under their watch. We get both daily and weekly reports to let us know how things are going and what supplies they may need. Although our daughter is only 9 months old I can see daily that she is learning things from her caregivers that I know I am not teaching her at home. Outside of her regular room teachers there are sometimes other staff members during pick up times. Although they may not be familiar with her whole day they do their best to communicate any necessary items effectively. I know it is a difficult decision to select a daycare provider for your child however I would recommend them highly based on our experience.

It's hard to find people you trust with your kiddos but once you meet Miss Jala your fears will be gone.

My daughter said other day, unprompted, "I love Miss Jala's" so this is really a review for my 4 years olds honest opinion. They do adventures to the library and parks and an academic curriculum that is solid and progresses forward. We love Miss Jala and Friends!
