Someone needs to investigate this place because something is off. We put down a deposit here but ended up going with a different daycare. When I asked for the deposit to be refunded the owner said they would need to write me a check. We agreed on a time and when I showed up the owner wasn’t there. I was told he’d be back in 30 minutes but I ended up waiting 2 hours before he showed up. When I tried to deposit the check it bounced. When I tried to contact them about the bounced check they ghosted me. Also, all of the pictures are from the daycare that was formerly in there and the only mention I can find about the current business is an article about how there was a fire there.
I started sending my son to ARWO at 12 weeks old. To be honest, I was extremely nervous sending my son to daycare as a first time mom and during a pandemic. ARWO and the staff have exceeded my expectations every step of the way! The staff goes above and beyond in trying to individualize care for your child. They are also excellent communicators and you can just tell they really care about the kids. My son is a little temperamental and on rough days they give him "extra cuddles". What else could you want in a daycare??
Our daughter has been at ARWO since September 2019 and we couldn’t be happier. The staff is so kind and friendly, and it’s clear that they love the kids. They are very knowledgeable, and I’ve learned a lot from them as a first time mom. Our kiddo loves going to school and comes home tired and happy!
Our son grew from a baby into boy @ Arwo! He's learned useful sign language, social skills and been surrounded by loving and nurturing influence for the months he has been there. The pricing is very reasonable and the staff is caring and qualified. Daily reports are sent home to help parents understand how their children are developing and coping with the various challenges of growing up. We (my wife and I) feel fortunate that we found ARWO and recommend it happily.
Arwo has been part of our family since our daughter was 9 months old. The teachers are nurturing and compassionate, modeling the kindness we hope to see in the world. As our child has grown so have the exciting learning opportunities at Arwo. From weekly themed activities to science and music exploration, our child can't wait to get started each day now that she is in Pre-K!
