Seemed like a great Montessori blend and we felt like it was going to be an awesome fit! My child was due August 11, and we gave them a deposit and "enrolled" him on March 15. I told them at that time - and the lady wrote it down - that I would take 12 weeks off with my baby before I returned to work. They told me no problem and to just call them when he was born to determine his start date. I did exactly that. I called them 1 week after he was born, told them my return to work date of 11/7 (he was born 3 days after his due date, so he wouldn't be starting daycare any EARLIER than expected), and they told me that they wouldn't have any room for him until 12/19! They also said, "We have to make sure that another child is walking before then, so the very earliest we could get him in is the 19. If that child isn't walking, we'll have to push the date back further." I explained to the lady on the phone that this was going to give me 6 WEEKS without childcare and she asked me if I could get help from family or friends until then. Ridiculous! I don't have family nearby to help with childcare (if I did, I wouldn't be enrolling him in daycare) and all of my friends work during the day, too. When I asked for my $75 deposit back because they didn't hold his spot, they basically scoffed at me and said tough luck. I'm completely appalled. Don't enroll your child here - they may make you wait on another child's development so your kid can start daycare, and you'll be stuck scrambling to find a place (as if the early weeks after having a baby aren't stressful enough as it is). Totally let down and disappointed. I want my $75 back.

Writing a review for a daycare is hard but here goes. I enrolled my kids for full time care. My…read moreinitial visit went ok but I only kept them there a week and some of the reasons why follow. They showed me schedules for the two year old curriculum hanging in the back part of the room, I never heard from my child or saw any indication of any type of learning/crafts going on. The workers seemed disconnected from the kids, my 2 yr old gets a little upset when I leave (especially this being a new place) and no one would help soothe him so I could get out the door. It seemed like every day someone else was in the room, no consistency at all in that department. The floors in this place were dirty like they wouldn't get cleaned after lunch or something, it was just gross and shouldn't look that way at 530pm. On to the infant room. The room is pretty nice and I like the way it was set up. I first noticed the lack of a rocking chair or really any sort of chair for a caregiver to sit in while feeding an infant, which leads me to believe they are propping up bottles to feed. This room was for the most part clean but I did witness a one yr old eat food off the floor a couple times. Again there was someone different in the room every morning. They have a special worker in the infant room to help which is awesome. I was told she would only read and play with the kids on the floor but I found out she had fed my 10 week old, I'm not sure what happened but they had to change his clothes because of it. I really worry about such a small baby getting dropped, that feeding should have never happened. So all that being said the place isn't up to what I was looking for in care for my boys, and over all got a bad vibe from most of the employees.

The staff is incredibly kind, professional, and truly attentive to each child. The space is clean, safe, and thoughtfully designed so kids can play, learn, and feel comfortable right away. What I love most is the flexibility--whether I need a few hours for errands, work, or an appointment, I know my child is having fun and being well cared for. My child always leaves happy and excited to come back, which says everything. Skidaddles gives parents peace of mind and kids an experience they genuinely enjoy. I can't recommend them enough.

Kristina helped me find the perfect nanny and I can honestly say that if it weren't for her I would…read morenot have been able to go back to work. Here's why she was awesome. 1. She was available to answer ALL and I mean ALL my MANY questions. (First time hiring a nanny) 2. She only presented me candidates that were a good fit. Other agencies sent me a ton of candidates but none were what I wanted and one even scared my daughter so much she cried for 20 minutes after the nanny left... 3. She was willing to screen an applicant I met on care.com to ensure she was truly qualified and reliable. 4. She knows a LOT about being and hiring a nanny. For a first time mom going back to work and scared out of her mind about leaving her baby with a nanny, her knowledge was SO helpful and comforting. 5. The rates are reasonable and most importantly flat. Some of the other places we looked at charge a crazy ridiculous fee and their use of a % of total salary made me feel as if they were only sending me candidates at the top of my scale because they wanted a bigger referral check. Overall, I would say if you are looking to hire a nanny, you can't do much better than Your Happy Nest.
