This is so much more than a daycare; it is a premier environment truly dedicated to a child's early development. Kim and her incredible team of teachers go above and beyond, helping children build the foundational skills necessary for their future educational journeys. They provide boundless resources and creative activities within the most positive, nurturing environment imaginable.Our children are now finishing third grade and kindergarten, and they still talk about how much they loved BMELC. Both excel socially and academically, and we owe much of that success to their early learning experience. Kim has built an extraordinary program that is guaranteed to benefit any child. If six stars were an option, I would give them without hesitation.

Our daughter has a speech delay (nothing more, we checked) and her ASQ scores reflected as such. All of a sudden, the Early Learning Center's attitude changed. They suddenly had to "double check" if there was an opening and also wanted to add an interview step before we could enroll. The ELC director was not comfortable with our daughter's position and wanted to "see if [name] was a good fit for the school." If they did decide to enroll our 2-year old daughter, they wanted to see her speech therapist notes regularly. Good grief. These kids are 2. Not very "Christian" to size up a 2-year old and discriminate against a little girl who is a little behind in talking... Doesn't really say much about the ELC teaching staff either if they can't support a very small delay. Cascade Christian's attitude toward our daughter and her abilities made my family feel very unwelcome. Unbelievable and gross behavior from a "Christian" school.

I love that they only take 4 babies at a time and have lots of toys and books for the babies to play with. I don't know about the other rooms since I had to discontinue my son's care there when he turned 1 due to a change in our work schedules, but I would definitely recommend the infant room. If we ever need full time care again I will look into using this daycare center. The other benefit is that they are very affordable if you are a cash paying parent. The office staff is also very friendly and I really did like the director, whom I believe is Jessica? The ONLY reason I give 4 stars is because if the normal infant room teachers are out (which rarely happens.) They have to use subs - which they could use a little bit more training I feel. Most times the subs were awesome though. Its just hard leaving your child with someone new and who doesnt know them well.

This place has gone from great to disgusting and unsafe over the past couple of years. Management…read morehas turned over a couple of times since then and teacher staff is now a revolving door. We just pulled our daughter out of there because they aren't even pretending to apply a curriculum for pre-k. They're babysitters, now, and not even very good ones at that. Most recently, we found soiled clothing stuffed into her backpack with her other clothing, sheet, and blanket. Not in a bag, just right into her backpack which now is soaked with urine. My four-year-old doesn't often have accidents, but good lord, what lazy, thoughtless person thought this was ok? During the pandemic, staff was supposed to be masked. Almost daily, either on dropoff or pickup, there were staff seen in classrooms or in the office (the part parents and kids walk though) either completely without a mask or the mask pulled down. Every time I brought it up, I was told that they'd "mention it in a staff meeting" or confirm that yes, it is their policy for staff to mask up. Regardless of your views on masking, the fact that they just didn't enforce their own policies that are supposed to be in place for safety, is unacceptable. The owner, Tom, also spread misinformation during the pandemic regarding masks and other preventive measures via signage posted at the center and at the summer camp location. This place started going down hill quickly when the director (a couple of directors ago, I think) left. Andrea was the last good one, but it was clear that she was being hamstrung from actually doing anything good there. I know it's tough finding a child care center these days, but please, if you have the option, look elsewhere. I'm sure there are other places just as bad or worse, but I no longer trust this place to keep my child safe and certainly not to prepare her for kindergarten. The dozen or teachers who have cycled through that room in the past few months have been uninterested in getting to know the kids, have completely ignored kids who clearly needed attention, were downright mean to kids (witnessed during dropoff on numerous occasions). If you can help it, please trust your children to another center. Also, the five star review that this is updating was written with the promise of a starbucks giftcard. I'm not sure how many other positive reviews are genuine.

My son loves the school and all of the teachers, in fact, he gets upset when I come to pick him up early. This is classified as a pre-school in my eyes. Little Giggles truly cares about the children and their development. Something for them to be very proud of. Great communication and follow up with parents.

This daycare has been a wonderful place for Peter to grow, learn, and thrive. One of the most valuable aspects for our family is that Veronika, the provider, speaks Russian with the children. At home, we mostly speak English, so having Peter immersed in a Russian-speaking environment has given him the gift of bilingualism. He now understands Russian fluently--a skill that not only connects him to his heritage but also supports cognitive development and gives him a head start in life. Veronika has created an incredibly nurturing, structured, and enriching environment for the kids. I've seen Peter blossom socially, emotionally, and intellectually under her care. We are truly grateful for the time we spent here and will miss Fairy Carousel dearly. If you're looking for a warm, thoughtful, and educational space for your little one, I wholeheartedly recommend Fairy Carousel. -- Nicole
