They have a small staff and lower numbers of children in each classroom, so its less stressful for the kids. In addition, they are the base level of a church, so they have a big basketball court for the kids to play in every day, regardless of weather-- they can run all over and play with ride-on toys. Their curriculum is fun for the kids and they've had wonderful, creative enrichment activities the whole time he has been there-- musicians come and play instruments, field trips, a week focused on camping where they set up a camp site in the gym with like 12 giant tents, a picnic table, and a fake fire. My son has gotten excited about letters and numbers, and he's a pretty rascally guy, one that's hard to get to stay focused. They've done a wonderful job with him, and they have a very relaxed and inviting atmosphere. The teachers are so positive, patient, kind, and consistent. I keep taking him there because he's so happy, even though I have to drive way out of my way. Highly recommended :).

They focus on their curriculum and do screening depending on your child's level of knowledge is where they decide what class level to put them in. My kids have advanced dramatically going to this preschool/daycare. Most importantly why I love this daycare is because they talk about God and have Bible studies and sing Christian songs and they love Jesus. When we drive by the daycare my kids say "Mama that's my favorite daycare!" They get super excited to go there and be their. The staff is amazing, friendly and professional and they do fun activities for the kids as well as for parents on certain holidays and occasions! The best in town. It won't let you down. #1 best voted in Spokane 4 times in a row now! Highly recommend it! My kids speak of Jesus and love Bible story time the most! Go check them out!

We came back after two days. The staff is GREAT! our 4 month old son smiles when he gets there because he knows the staff and loves it there. I have never wondered if he'd be in good hands. They're very knowedgable and helpful. We'll be taking our son here for a long long time!

I definitely feel like this drop in facility is better as far as security and cleanliness goes compared to another drop in facility in our area. It is cheaper than hiring a babysitter and I don't have to worry about cleaning up. I'm having his little brother in May 2012 and I expect Isaac (5) will be seeing a lot of Recess Time!! It is truly a safe haven for a parent who needs a bit of a break for a reasonable cost and less costly than hiring a sitter if you have an appointment! They have everything a kid might want, from fine to gross motor activities and they can even provide meals and snacks for a small charge if you forget to bring your own! I can't ask for more!

The owner saved my life when I was a child here. Literally. I was a baby, stopped breathing due to…read morea seizure, and she did mouth to mouth as another teacher called 911. When I had my son nearly 30 years later and moved back to Spokane, we were lucky enough to get a spot here. My son had been to three other day cares (kinder care, then another center in CA, and a military child care facility). Out of all three day care centers, this one is by far the best. My son has separation anxiety from all our moves, but the staff here are wonderful and supportive. I stayed with my son for a few hours the first few days to help him adjust, and was very impressed with what I saw from the teachers and children. Whenever he had a hard time at drop-off, they scooped him up, re-directed him or comforted him. By the end of the day he didn't want to leave because he was having so much fun! The teachers are experienced and have great relationships with the kids; they teach them how to be good friends to each other and how to behave well to keep everyone safe.This was the place where my son learned how to play nicely with other children and start empathizing. When a child does misbehave the teachers are firm, but they still respect the child; all the kids see this and understand. They are truly treated like independent individuals, and the teachers help them realize that they can make good decisions on their own. While mine was their worst medical emergency (hopefully it stays that way), my son had his own mishap there. They called to tell me that he had bitten his tongue open when he fell, and it was a sizable wound. Of course I was very worried about him, and distressed that he got injured. But I knew they were more than capable of taking care of him while I drove over, and that they would have called 911 if it had been necessary. He didn't need stitches, and they were wonderful about warming up the mush I brought for him as his tongue healed. In addition to the social and safety aspects, this child development center and its teachers offer wonderful activities that run the spectrum of artistic, academic, physical, and more. My son always came home with inventive art projects, letters that he had practiced, and would sing new songs he had learned that day. They also give the kids plenty of time to run and play outside, even holding water play days and transportation days (where the kids can bring their tricycles to ride around outside). We are military, and unfortunately had to move. We were lucky enough to have our son at Fantasy Farm for a little over a year. If we had been able to stay in Spokane, I would have kept him there until he started elementary school, and probably would have had him in the after school and summer programs as well. This review might sound too good to be true, but if you visit and observe the classes, the kids and the teachers, you'll see for yourself that it is a fantastic place. I recommend Fantasy Farm to anyone without reservation.
