I loved all the pretend play, from doctor's office, dentist office, the bank, the car shop, the vet, the grocery store, etc. Sure some stuff is pretty outdated/old, but at the same time there were some features we hadn't seen at other children's discovery museums, such as the flight simulator. We had a fun time and spent maybe 1.5 hours here.

This place was nice and I'd definitely come back here. Despite the fact I'm pretty sure I caught…read morecovid here, not like it's their fault. You go places like this it's just part of the parent life lol. It's almost like strange if you don't get sick after one of these places. Anyway our son had a blast and it was the perfect thing to do after the zoo as it was hot and yay ac. I just wish there was more adult seating, you know where parents can just sit down and the kids play lol. Instead of awkwardly lurking in the corner. Just a few chairs! The outside was cute too, storyland or whatever. This was definitely a good day for my boy. After all this he was actually passing out at dinner which was a first for him. I really liked Binghamton so I expect to come back here eventually.

We just started and moved from another daycare and you can tell this one is better! There's more curriculum, healthier food, the teachers are so kind and patient and VERY capable, and my daughter is so happy and CLEAN at the end of the day. Naptime is set in stone with dim lighting and soft music and they work with her crib issues to get her asleep. This is a friendly, all involved daycare that I can feel good about her being in. If you can get in here, please don't hesitate, it's top notch. And being in the federal building, it's secure. I also love that they include what she is developing when she does an activity (motor skills, etc). And you get a detailed report at the end of the day!
