Spellman Child Development Center

My family has had such a wonderful experience with Spellman. The staff are very professional, great at communicating, and always show compassion to my children. The socialization and experiences my children have gained at Spellman help me feel guilt-free as a working parent. My children look forward to going to school to see their friends and teachers and I know can trust them to help enrich their lives.

Spellman has a lovely staff and an incredible early childhood education program! This was the first time my daughter was in a daycare facility, and she fell in love. She was very apprehensive at first and I couldn't stop feeling like it was too soon for her. But the teachers were so understanding and supportive during drop-offs. The daily routine and lesson plans they had really struck a chord with my 5y/old. My daughter would come home and tell me what she learned usually accompanied by an art project of some sort. The most difficult part was more my fault when through lingering illness or school schedule I didn't have her attend regularly. This also might be more obvious to some, but I didn't know at first; if you're working with the state you HAVE to stay on top of the days you miss. You are allowed a certain amount per month, anything over that they will charge per day. Spellman does have an excellent facility and program and they do charge to match the value. FAVORITES: All school materials included, Lunch included, the Summer program has weekly field trips, and Kindergarteners get a graduation ceremony in the spring! POSSIBLE CRITIQUES: (Much like everywhere) they seemed a little short-staffed.

We have had a great experience with our son here. He LOVES his teachers and we have had very positive experiences with the director and office staff. Miss Shana and Miss Rachel are among the favorite people in my son's life. The curriculum is stimulating and fun.

I am extraordinarily grateful for the team at Spellman as they create a loving and educational environment for my children. Being a working mother can be challenging and exhausting at times, but knowing that my little ones are being well taken care of during the day gives me the peace of mind that I need to be able to do a good job as a mother and as a productive member of the workforce. I have been a working mom for almost 11 years, and I know the difference a good daycare can make. It is a critical aspect contributing to a family's success and stability.

I am currently a Freshman in at College of Saint Mary, and have two daughters who attending here. This center is GREAT! The staff are so FRIENDLY, and super GREAT with children. Sure the kids are crying sometimes buts that's pretty NORMAL, I think they even pay more attention to them than I can, due to my school and work. They show a lot of affection and patience to the children, as I do being their mom! I especially like Mrs. Gina, Mrs. Amanda, Ms. Jen and Ms. Sam. Also Kristen Lundquist is so HELPFUL and UNDERSTANDING These people are great with my kids. I am so thankful to them. Now I am not worried about how my kids are treated. P.S. I have popped in without notice and see they are for reals not pretending to play. PLUS they are always giving me photos of my children doing activities.
