I struggle with anxiety and it's the worst when it comes to my kids..I was so torn starting my…read morecareer and having to trust anyone with my 2 year old. It was such a hard process and it took a tough adjustment period. I'm SO thankful to have met Susan at Smart Start PlaySchool. She is so down to earth, friendly, caring, knowledgeable, and just an all around great person. She let me tour their gorgeous home with an incredibly huge play room, adorable entryway, a lovely large kitchen, and a smaller downstairs playroom that was Pinterest perfect. This isn't some lady who randomly has an in-home daycare with a few beat up toys. This is someone who put SO much love and care into such a gorgeous, fun, clean, and safe environment for children to grow and play. It was such a relief to meet people like her and her husband to care for our littlest. She has a passion for child development and knows exactly what she's talking about and knows how important her role is, spending much of the day with people's kids..teaching them and allowing them to learn and grow. I recommend Smart Start Play School to anyone looking for outstanding quality childcare with people they can trust with their most precious babies..I know how hard it is, and I found that myself here.

I would not recommend this facility for child care…read more The majority of the staff don't seem to enjoy children --there is no sense that the teachers actually enjoy children. We found the staff to be rather rigid in their teaching & discipline styles. They don't seem to be able to adapt to a specific child's needs. They are frequently understaffed. Always sending out messages to get parents to "volunteer" to skip school/pick up the kids after they've been dropped off. They offer you "credit" if you do this, but the "credit" is significantly less than their daily rate...so essentially you are paying them so you can watch your own kid?!? And if they don't get enough volunteer pick ups, they'll just close classrooms, meaning you can't come to school/you have to pick up your kid after drop off AND you don't get any compensation at all--you are paying them full price so that you can watch your own child. Heaven help you if your kiddo ends up in a class with one of the director's / teacher's kids. They let those kids run wild and pretty much run the classroom. The directors clearly favor a couple staff members over others. That whole situation is super awkward to be peripherally involved in and observe. It reminds me of mean girls in high school...so awkward and not something to appreciate having to see when I'm paying this much for allegedly professional care givers. The cost of enrollment is astonishingly high, even compared to other facilities. They don't do anything there to justify a higher price point--they don't have better staffing ratios, don't offer more activities or provide better food. On top of that, you are expected to help cater a seemingly endless number of meals for teacher appreciation. The formal "teacher appreciation week" consisted of several breakfasts and lunches and the food requests were bizarrely specific. There are several more times throughout the year that you are expected to help cater meals for staff. Overall, I felt that this facility treats the kids as economic units. Their priority is making money, that's it. The facility is clean. Sometimes they have good teachers, but usually the good ones leave within ~12 mos, likely due to the toxic environment. I have heard from others that the care is better for the babies (like up to 18 mos or so). I don't have experience with that at Goddard.

He just graduated and I feel so grateful that we found this school for my son. Miss Katie and Lisa in the "Wise Owls" or 4-5 year old class have been there for as long as my son went there.

We…read morestarted at Wildflower in April after having a truly awful experience at another preschool where I felt like my kid was not loved or treated with respect and compassion. Madeline is such an amazing teacher and I can't imagine anyone better suited to teaching this age group than her. She's the epitome of a fun, calm, silly, and compassionate teacher who loves the kids in her care fiercely and helps them explore and blossom in her care. My son has his confidence back and actually wants to go to school every day. At our prior school he complained about going every day and came home so defeated. He is truly thriving with Madeline and her program and we feel so lucky to be here. Aside from how amazing Madeline is as a teacher, the outdoor area is amazing, the inside is cozy, and the program is a perfect balance of structure and individual play. My son comes home singing new songs and talking about fun games they played every day. And the sense of community is so amazing and something I didn't know I was missing. I can't recommend Madeline enough!
