I love Formative Years. My child had attended here for more than 2 years until we had to move. All teachers are amazing and the best. I always could feel that teachers took care of my child like their own. My child could learn not only shapes, colors, numbers, songs and names but also could learn how to interact with other friends&teachers. My child, who is going to be a preschooler soon, still misses Formative Years, friends, and teachers a lot.
My boys went there for the summer last year, they had a blast. They went on a variety of fun field trips all over the middle of the state. The staff was great and they took the time to pay attention to my boys individually, which is great for elementary school care.
This daycare is terrible. The teacher did not stop kids when they were pushing and flighting. And they also have after school class. They ask the elementary school kids and toddlers in the same space together. The elementary school kids push the toddlers. The space in the daycare is small. Food served is also terrible. For example, for the breakfast, they give kids only banana and a small cup of cold milk. I won't send my kids there again.
My daughter has just started going here this year! She loves it! All the teachers are amazing and really care about the children!
My kids were happy here. They loved coming here.
