The quality of the teachers, staff, early childhood education and peer interactions made my son feel so comfortable being himself at BabyVillage. Our son woke up everyday excited to go to school. We will be moving out of Portland and are very sad to leave BabyVillage. It truly felt like we were part of the BabyVillage family and we wish our son could've stayed and continue to grow with BabyVillage until kindergarten but hope our spot will go to another child who will love this place as much as our son did!

From infants to toddlers he was genuinely known and loved at every stage by not only his teachers but the whole staff. We were amazed at what he learned and the variety of foods he ate and loved the photos and updates we received each day through the app. The center director, Christina, was always available for questions or concerns we had and you could feel that his teachers enjoyed spending time with the kids. An out of state move is the only reason we left and they threw a little going away party in his classroom and left us with the sweetest book of artwork and even sweeter memories. We are so glad we chose this Kindercare to help shape our sons first couple years and will forever be grateful for the care and love the entire staff provided during his time there.

This Review is mostly for some coworkers principally the one in the rosebuds classrooms that most people in that classroom are fake and they don't even like to be in that classroom.

So parents I will be mindful of sending you kids here principally if they are babies.

It's also been the best way for us to get out for a nice late night dinner due to it's close proximity to downtown via Burnside.

The transition from infant to toddler care has been incredibly smooth, and we've always felt like our little one is in good hands.

Two of our favorite things about Camyan is seeing all the kids playing and dancing together at pick-up and the parent community it fosters. It's such a warm and inviting environment, and we feel lucky to be a part of it. We are so grateful for Camyan's care, and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a daycare.

My child attended My Bundle of Joy (Concordia) for less than a year and very disappointed with the…read moreowner Monet and her lack of management. We took our son out due to questionable providers, high turnaround in providers, last minute non-COVID closures and a very unlikeable owner. On our first day, I handed my 3-month old to a provider who was wearing 2 inch fake nails and I was mortified and thought it was a joke. I didn't say anything because I didn't want to be "that parent" but absolutely did not instill any confidence from day one. In the summer of 2021, the house shut down for one day because it was not licensed with the State of Oregon. Day care shut for a day with very late notice and there was no compensation for that one day of missed daycare due to their inability to maintain a legal license. Shortly after, a provider showed up drunk and was allowed to work (many differing stories but nonetheless worrisome). Monet was at the house next morning for drop-off trying to do damage control and was incredibly insincere and seemed to almost be laughing the situation off. Monet lacked communication skills and was unable to recognize and articulate the seriousness of the alleged incident. In December 2021, they received an Oregon Department of Education violation regarding poor crib safety management. Upon inspection, the State worker immediately removed the child from the crib and the State notified parents immediately. There was a laundry list of additional incidents that occurred during our short time. A child got locked in the bathroom in which the fire department was called, a child got outside and was left unattended with no one knowing, a child's food allergy was overlooked, and other questionable small incidents. When these concerns were brought to Monet's attention, she brushed them off and did not let us break our contract and dismissed them. Moreover, we told her we only stayed because of one of the house managers we liked (who recently abruptly left). She went on the defense and told me "shame on me" for not acknowledging the other providers. That is not how you respond to a concerned client let alone parent. Be careful of the 60-day cancellation clause because a lot happened in that time and any third party would have agreed that it would have been reasonable to break the contract due to the concerning events. We tried to give the benefit of doubt as these incidents occurred throughout the year but after talking to other parents, some left immediately while we tried to grapple with finding new care, which unfortunately took us a lot longer than expected. The providers were nice and my son got his basic needs met but after the multiple closures due to COVID (as expected), ongoing unscheduled closures and overall lack of organization. There was a clear environment of the providers being overworked, stressed and underpaid. I talked to other parents who were concerned that some of the caretakers had been in tears at drop-off/pick up due to the overwhelming stresses of management and daily duties. Regarding the house manager that left this week, Monet has not informed parents and the providers seem nervous and timid to discuss. There was no communication and when a house manager leaves, it should be immediately known since they are the main and first contact for parents. I assumed the house manager was on vacation but it wasn't until the end of the week that I found out (from the house providers) and still have not heard from Monet about the management change. Tomorrow is our last day there and we are very relieved because the house seems to be in shambles. Before registering, I read the very limited reviews and felt uneasy but didn't want that to deter us from signing up. In talking with other parents who attended MBOJ (3 at Concordia and 1 at Piedmont), none were impressed with the actual facility and agreeably turned off by the owner. We later discovered that My Bundle of Joy used to operate under a previous name "Cloud Nine, Inc." (I verified it on the Oregon Secretary of State business search and still active). We had heard from parents that they changed their legal name due to multiple negative reviews they had received under the previous name. A major red flag that made our choice to leave even more secure. I understand day care is neither accessible or affordable. I wish our experience would have been more pleasant. When you are paying the same rate as a reputable school like Montessori or some other high-end infant programs, My Bundle of Joy simply does not compare nor come close. My intention is not to discourage parents but it's only fair to share our experience in hopes that future parents err on the side of caution with this establishment.

I would highly recommend MBOJ for anyone looking for childcare!
