This is an extended family with someone who loves and cares deeply for your children. I was hospitalized for seven weeks and we were frantic to find someone to care for our two children. Ms Linda not only took them in, she also sent me photos of them through their day, updated me when milestones happened, helped them make crafts for my room, and helped my husband with the "mom" tasks like doing hair and fresh outfits. We would have been lost without her help and we continue to use her part time care because our kids love her so much we can't bear to take them out totally, even though my health is fine. We are so thankful we found this care and so thankful we found Ms Linda!

ATC Center is a growing organization that values exposure and learning of all ways not just one. We believe by exposing our children and parents to the many cultural & social differences of our young country of 300 years you enter a world with willingness and acceptance of things different from you. This is Vidal for social development, self-identity, antibullying, behavior skills & influences. We also pride our program on kindergarten preparation to ensure the children who come through our program are able and ready to learn with complete competency of kindergarten expectations giving a support and relief to our educators in the public school system. We have many discounts ro help support families including military, siblings discount, and quarterly promotions!

This place has gone from great to disgusting and unsafe over the past couple of years. Management…read morehas turned over a couple of times since then and teacher staff is now a revolving door. We just pulled our daughter out of there because they aren't even pretending to apply a curriculum for pre-k. They're babysitters, now, and not even very good ones at that. Most recently, we found soiled clothing stuffed into her backpack with her other clothing, sheet, and blanket. Not in a bag, just right into her backpack which now is soaked with urine. My four-year-old doesn't often have accidents, but good lord, what lazy, thoughtless person thought this was ok? During the pandemic, staff was supposed to be masked. Almost daily, either on dropoff or pickup, there were staff seen in classrooms or in the office (the part parents and kids walk though) either completely without a mask or the mask pulled down. Every time I brought it up, I was told that they'd "mention it in a staff meeting" or confirm that yes, it is their policy for staff to mask up. Regardless of your views on masking, the fact that they just didn't enforce their own policies that are supposed to be in place for safety, is unacceptable. The owner, Tom, also spread misinformation during the pandemic regarding masks and other preventive measures via signage posted at the center and at the summer camp location. This place started going down hill quickly when the director (a couple of directors ago, I think) left. Andrea was the last good one, but it was clear that she was being hamstrung from actually doing anything good there. I know it's tough finding a child care center these days, but please, if you have the option, look elsewhere. I'm sure there are other places just as bad or worse, but I no longer trust this place to keep my child safe and certainly not to prepare her for kindergarten. The dozen or teachers who have cycled through that room in the past few months have been uninterested in getting to know the kids, have completely ignored kids who clearly needed attention, were downright mean to kids (witnessed during dropoff on numerous occasions). If you can help it, please trust your children to another center. Also, the five star review that this is updating was written with the promise of a starbucks giftcard. I'm not sure how many other positive reviews are genuine.

I don't believe a child has ever been stolen, wow. The staff is loving, caring and professional at all times. The care that children get here far surpasses anywhere else. This is an establishment that goes above and beyond on a daily basis, not only do they make sure that every child is in excellent care, they go beyond expectations when it comes down to giving back to and being a strong pillar of support in the community.
