Bethany School Age Care receives overwhelmingly positive feedback, with most parents praising the caring and attentive staff, smooth transitions, strong communication, and children's happiness. However, two negative reviews raise serious concerns about facility cleanliness, hygiene issues, security protocols, and staff conduct.
We love Bethany Childcare! My son has been in attendance to both the preschool and daycare for the past 3 years. When we first started, it was our son's teachers who recommended early intervention which we couldn't have thanked enough for the early recommendation. Since then, his teachers each year have done a wonderful job making him feel supported, important, and capable. As a parent, I appreciate the cost of their child programs, the timely communications I've received, and the care I feel from each teacher when I pick my child up. Thanks Bethany Childcare!!
Both of my boys have been attending Bethany childcare for a year and half and they have been amazing! Ms. Tabitha, Ms. Taylor, and Ms. Melissa truly care about their students and you can see it. They are always smiling and happy to see all the students. They make you feel welcome which is easier leaving my boys with them. They keep me updated on everything and if there is ever an issue they notify me right away. If I have any questions or concerns, I feel very comfortable asking them or taking about the situation. Ms. Trisha and Ms. Joy are also great at what they do! My boys love going to school/daycare and that means a lot! I highly recommend Bethany childcare to everyone!
My eldest just started at Bethany a month ago and he LOVES preschool. His first day there he came home raving about Ms. Paula. I am so grateful to both Ms. Yang and Ms. Paula for welcoming him into their classroom, his transition was seamless, and he is happy to go to school every day despite not being a morning person.
I can't say enough wonderful things about Bethany SAC and it's staff. I wish I was able to give them more then 5 stars! I am an single mom to an autistic preschooler with my entire family out of state. Up until this past year my mom, who move in with me from NY to help, took full time care of my daughter when I was at work. This past June my mom passed away and I was forced to look for child care for the first time. I am beyond grateful I found Bethany. They welcomed my special needs child with open arms. They understand and support her in a way I never though non-family could. I was terrified to leave my baby with "stranger" for the first time in her life. I feel like a 1000lb weight has been lifted. My daughter, with her limited speech askes every morning to "go school" even on the weekends. She loves and asks for her teachers by name all the time. Mrs Tab, Ms Taylor, Ms Melyssa, and Ms Bo treat her like she was one of their own. Having a special needs child who cant tell me what happens day to day is scary, but I know she her teachers treat her with patience and kindness and like she is part of their family. Trisha and Joy are amazing directors, they keep me informed about what is going on and answer any questions I have immediately. I recommend Bethany to everyone I talk to with kids in daycare. If I cant be with me child, I cant imagine a better place for her to be!
We love Bethany Childcare! They have worked with us as we transitioned from being a stay-at-Home family to both parents working full time. The staff is wonderful and really seems to care about each child. My kids are happy to go in each morning and have been learning a lot. The communication is open and clear between the staff and parents.
