Cheryl, the owner, along with Katelyn, teacher, were wonderful and worked with us to figure out how to make the morning transition smoother. They switched around their morning schedule to make sure they started with our son's favorite activity and that showed me how dedicated and caring they were. I highly recommend this program to anyone - they are nature-focused and spend lots of time outdoors in the sandbox, play-set and garden.

Horrible director!! They advertised on their website a daily morning routine including arts and…read morecrafts and physical activity either in the gym, or outside. See below: Before Care Program We offer care beginning at 7:15am. The activities in the morning vary, but below is a schedule of a typical morning: 7:15-7:30 Greeting, welcoming students, group games 7:30-8:00 Arts and crafts, board games, free play 8:00-8:30 Organized gym or outside activity (weather permitting) 8:30-8:45 Trivia, dismissal My son was very excited about the morning exercise option and like most boys, benefits tremendously from exercise and blowing off boy energy before the start of the school day. My kids attended 4 days. Of those 4 days, my son had only 10 minutes (not 30 minutes as advertised) on only 2 of the days. First, I was told that exercise was only every other day and that "wet grass" meant that they wouldn't go out, even though there are perfectly dry asphalt basketball and foursquare/hopscotch courts available. Then I was told the gym often wasn't accessible because of other school activities early in the morning. I was also informed there's not enough time in the mornings for physical activity. I asked the director why her website advertised otherwise. She claimed she did not know what was on her website and that her friend had done it for free. I read exactly what her own website said in the "Services and Daily Schedule" tab (above). She blew up and said she shouldn't have to "change her program" to have to accommodate only one child. She said I should move onto another provider since it obviously wouldn't work for us. I told her we did not have another option currently. She said she had other people waiting for our spots (translated: I don't need people like you). An hour and a half after our phone call, she sent me a very unfriendly email attempting to justify her actions and terminating our childcare effective immediately. She said her website indicated this was only a "typical" day and that the schedule "varied" and therefore she did not have to adhere to any promise of arts & crafts and exercise. I indicated I would make her business practices known and file complaints with the school and among my network of fellow mothers in the area if she did not reconsider her irrational decision. She then said that I was threatening her, had made demands on her staff (untrue) and that her daycare was (essentially) untouchable since she only leased the space from the school and the district and administration had no authority over her. Obviously she knew this would hit us hard since I now have just the weekend to find alternate arrangements. She was unreasonable, completely non-service oriented, aggressive and not at all someone I'd imagine being good around children, or upholding any kind of model citizen behavior. You'd think I was asking her to single handedly move the Titanic just to include the advertised 30 minutes of exercise in her program! Needless to say, I do not want my kids in her program anymore!!

I am appalled by the first reviewers claims of the Kids at Play (KAP) Program as my all of my…read morechildren have gone to KAP while in school and I never would have thought of sending them anywhere else. From my experience with the program, the children all get more than ample time outside, inside, playing, doing arts and crafts, etc., the program varied daily depending on weather, extra curricular actives, what have you and I have never been disappointed nor do I think their website has in any way mislead anyone. All the parents I talked to in and out of the program have all been very pleased with the quality of care their children receive and comfortable that their children are in the care of this long time staff - and right in the school! It doesn't get more convenient than that! Shame on this reviewer for making such claims after her children only attended for 4 days and clearly an angered customer who was probably asked to go elsewhere for good reason.

Sadly, these folks don't seem to get animals. I am truly worried that these people are not qualified to assess individual animals' needs and will fail to place their animals in appropriate homes. They have general (and, frankly, arbitrary) guidelines for adopting out pets and the people I spoke to couldn't speak to any individual pet's traits or needs. It was a onerous, depressing and frustrating process just to locate pets on their site and after you spend a long, long time filling out repetitive forms, you have to go over and confirm all the answers on the phone with someone who doesn't have specific knowledge of the animal involved. Truly head spinning. Also, the service there is terrible, they will NOT return calls, you always have to call back and hope to get someone. I truly worry about where the animals in their care end up.
