This is by far an amazing establishment! I was originally switching my daughters daycare because I needed one that opened a little bit earlier due to my work hours and I was told so many great reviews Of Cradles 2 Crayons by people I personally knew. So I made the switch. Let me tell you one of the best decisions I could of made. It’s hard enough having to work and leave your child with someone who will spend more of their day with them then you will. The owner Lucretia is beyond a wonderful woman. Inside and out. She has such a strong, supportive, and amazing staff! The place is very clean and taken care. Amazing camera systems that you can see right in the office as you walk in the door. I know my daughter is taken care. They have gone ABOVE AND BEYOND more than any other daycare center I have ever heard of. My daughter absolutely loves it here. It is more of a personal experience than you are just another $ walking in the door. I could say so many good things about this center. I love this place and the wonderful staff as my daughter does as well ❤️
Amazing!!! I loved working here and being able to spend time with my boys. Great space and activities for any age. My youngest started daycare at a few months old, which was a little young for me but Ms. Lucretia had already did so great with my older 2, it wasn’t a second thought on sending my baby boy. She shares a special bond with each of my sons and we are forever grateful! Thank you for always taking such great care of them. GibsonSquad**
I worked at this center for a short amount of time and was disgusted the entire time. The infant room was probably the worst, the teacher was unbelievably lazy and taking care of the children was the least of her worries. The babies were left in their cribs to cry until they fell asleep, only being taken out to eat & play for a short amount of time. I once walking into the room to find 4 babies in their cribs & the teacher was nowhere to be found. In the toddler room, a teacher left a bm diaper on the floor & allowed a different child to consume feces, the parents were never made aware. Classrooms are constantly out of ratio and the owner lacks professionalism. I didn’t even send my own child here while I was employed with them. The owner is too concerned with being in competition with surrounding daycare centers (who quite frankly don’t even care) and upholding her “reputation” which isn’t even all that great. Instead of using so much time & energy to bash everyone leaving negative comments, you should focus on improving your center. Parents, this is not a safe, clean or friendly environment. Please keep your child’s best interest in mind and find a different daycare for your precious children.
My kids have been at C2C now for going on three years. We viewed other daycares in the area and once we went here, we knew it was the one. My kids have blossomed and learned so much at this place. Anytime I have a question about something, they quickly find the answer. They have never made me feel uncomfortable or been inappropriate when I ask questions. I find much comfort that they have cameras in every single room, even outside. The teachers have become an important part of my kids lives and have been beyond instrumental educationally, as well as in teaching them what is right and what is wrong.
Best daycare in town!! Clean, Safe, educational, and just fun!! Field trips, tutoring, Spanish, tap dancing, summer camp and more this daycare has so much to offer!! The staff treated all children with love! My children have been in attendance for 7yrs and counting!! Thankfully to have Cradle 2 Crayons!!
