We have been very pleased with this care center and have gone here since my child was born (2 years). We love the structured routine, healthy meals and the vast activities my child is introduced to. The cost of daycare is worth it for this location. We are so grateful for the amazing staff as well.
I never post reviews, but I read some of the other reviews about the director and it made me upset. The directors have always been nice and professional. My son has been the for 6 months and he loves it. Owners are actually involved much more than the daycares where we were before. The office is right at the front and the directors are always in there and talk to me about Jordan's day. The difference in interaction between the kids and the teachers is a big reason why we go here too. And one of the teachers had a fire at her house and the staff and parents raised over $30,000 to help her. I know that's not about the daycare exactly, but it shows the people care about each other. I don't know - I just think the reviews from the old employees are petty and not true.
Both my kids have been here for 2 years. The staff is great. The facilities are always improving. I wouldn't go anywhere else. We moved our sons to EFC after doing further research in the area, knowing that we were looking for a learning environment and not just a place for the kids to be while we work. They actually look forward to school and they don't even get upset when I drop then off. My younger son talks about what he did in class when he gets home and loves to sings the songs he learned.
0 stars is what i give!! Very upsetting daycare. First off, I'm very disgusted with the care my child receives at this center, I am also very unhappy with the teachers communication and the directors communication. The people whom work here are very unprofessional to say the least. I have had the directors at this center send all my phone calls to voice-mail. I am purposefully being ignored by the staff. I have had countless concerns and I can not get ahold of anyone at this center. Even when I approach them directly you get the back or silent treatment. Please, please think more than twice before you enroll your child or children here. Do not let them do this to you or your family].
We love this daycare! We completely feel like all of the staff cares very much about our children. They learn Spanish, have monthly field trips, gymnastics, healthy catered food from Preschool Pantry. My 3 year old has blossomed in her writing since starting 10 months ago.
