I wouldn’t recommend this daycare based on our experience. My son only attended for about three months, but during that time he frequently came home with bug bites and constant diaper rash. Staff repeatedly told us he was sick, yet every time we took him to the doctor, there was nothing wrong. The final straw was when they told us he had hand, foot, and mouth disease… Something only a doctor can diagnose. When we brought him to his pediatrician, we were told it wasn’t HFM at all, but a rash caused by improper diaper changes. That was unacceptable. Parents trust daycares to provide a safe, clean, and attentive environment for their children, and that just wasn’t our experience here. Please look for other daycares before trusting your babies with this one.

Very unimpressed by this Daycare. They say they’re trained professionals but can’t handle children correctly. Sometimes you can walk in, in the morning and hear a “teacher” shouting at children. Unprofessional behavior is a normal occurrence from the staff. Not only will they yell at your children but they will yell at you. They either don’t have enough staff for the amount of children or just don’t making paying attention to the children a priority, the toddlers will have enough time to bite, & hit each other to a point there’s bruising or marks left. Sometimes it’s questionable whether it’s actually another toddler leaving marks on the children. With all of that being said, if you have the capability of sending your child elsewhere, that’s what I’d recommend

My son goes there and he loves it. He loves his teachers. The teachers truly care about each child. My son asked me if he can go to school and the first thing he does is run and give his teachers hugs. I will always highly recommend Early Impressions! I never worry when I drop my son off because I know he will be loved and taken care of.

Only took my child here on recommendation from community, boy were they wrong! Staff was lackadaisical with my child, couldn't care less about them or me. Manager called rudely and started shouting. Very unimpressed. Look elsewhere.

Wouldn’t take my child here. It’s ran very unprofessionally.
