As a first-time parent, we had a lot of anxiety about childcare choices. We looked into different…read moreoptions and childcare centers, and I am still confident and happy with our decision to enroll our child here. My child started when she was 4 months old. Ms. Yan is such a nurturing person. I still remember one day when I went to pick her up and opened the door; Ms. Yan was playing with dolls with her. Even though my daughter was the last one to stay there, she was still having fun. As she got older and moved to different classrooms, Kita, Lauren, and all the other teachers were so kind. The various themed activities were enriching, and they would also suggest activities to do at home, which was very helpful for us. Additionally, the management team, Shuai and Michele, were incredibly supportive. They communicated with us frequently and in advance. Their dedication and passion were evident. They genuinely cared about our child's health and development, which was reassuring for parents like us. I believe this is a perfect place if you are looking for full-time childcare with a well-organized system. If you are seeking a part-time spot, this may not be the best choice, as they only offer full-time options. I actually think this is beneficial because it ensures consistency. They also have an app system that provides almost real-time updates about your child, which we appreciated greatly. We had to leave because we were moving out of state, but until the last day, my daughter enjoyed her time there. We are truly grateful for the wonderful experience our daughter had and highly recommend this center to other families seeking a nurturing and reliable childcare environment.

I then selected DCC due to the intimate nature and therefore the health protections and small class size that DCC provides. We have little to no interruptions like many of my friends and the communication is amazing. But the most important thing to realize is that DCC is not a daycare it is a community! The teachers do not see their role as a job but love the children and want to see them develop. Parents give of their time because they believe in the DCC and the community it creates. And the children see DCC as a home away from home and thrive. I could not recommend DCC more!

First the good, there isn't a cheaper daycare in the area and there typically isn't a wait list which is rare in this area. If you call at different times they'll quote you multiple prices so there's that.... Now the bad, we paid a year ahead. $12k for 52 weeks. It was fine until Covid in 2020, they closed the place for 7 weeks which was understandable, but when we told them we were going to a different daycare when we used all our prepaid weeks, the owner said she would not give us the 7 weeks of childcare to cover the 7 weeks they were closed. So effectively, we only received 45 weeks. She said they would honor the 7 weeks if we came back and signed up for another year. While the service they provide is fine (not great, not horrible), just know you're not dealing with people of the highest character (to say the least)...

He was home with me for a year and a half before he went to daycare to help with socialization. Theresa was helpful and responsive in the enrollment process. We went and visited for an hour one morning before he started, and had the option of doing a second visit if it made us feel more comfortable. I loved being able to see what his morning would be like! His teacher, Jena, is AMAZING. She is always so communicative, and very understanding and reassuring when he has a hard time saying goodbye to us in the morning. The toddler room shares a half wall with the infant room and the infant lead, Kathy, is so sweet with him too. We love the assistants as well!
