Unfortunately, despite reading such great reviews before enrolling, our family didn't have a 5, 4 or even 3 star experience at this school. As a mom of three, I have experienced what it means to be at an amazing daycare, and this wasn't it. (I notice now, many of the reviews are 6+ months old, and since then the school is under a new director and ownership.) Firstly, it took three trips to the office for over 20 min each for my debit card to be set up and successfully linked to my account for auto debit. Secondly, we had a steady teacher for two weeks, and then she was gone (sick?). But we didn't know why nor did we get an update for the next two weeks. Every morning after her absence, my daughter's 3 year old classroom was filled to the brim with older students and her normal class. We had a different teacher every day, none of whom introduced themselves to me. Not to mention they didn't post photos or updates to the parent app used for communication. Thirdly, the first day my daughter said her teacher yelled at her. She cried every morning before school, not wanting to go. I decided to pull her two weeks in, and gave written 2 weeks notice notice, per the contract. Our final week ended on a Wednesday and they still charged us for the whole week and refused to prorate the charges. The lack of consistency and communication is why I've rated the school 2 out of 5 stars.
Absolutely LOVE The Children’s Corner. As a first time mom, it wasn’t an easy choice picking a daycare to leave my 9 week old baby at. A good friend had recommended The Children’s Corner so I contacted them prior to him being born and did a walk through. Every one was so nice and I really liked the fact that they have so many employees with many years of working at the daycare. That truly speaks volumes. I put him on the waitlist and then signed him up not too long after he was born. They were great about answering all my first time mom questions ahead of time and still do to this day. Ms. Amporn, Mrs. Jenny, Ms. Tierra have been absolutely FANTASTIC with my baby boy! Ms. Eileen and Ms. Brittany are fantastic directors and assistant directors and have also answered any admin questions with promptness along the way as well as loving on my baby boy when they get a chance to as well. It absolutely warms my heart that even though they probably have 100+ kids and they still know exactly who I am the second I walk through the door. It truly feels like one big family and I know my little man is safe in their care. I also can’t say it enough but I absolutely LOVE that they use the Procare app and updated his activities throughout the day such as feeds, potties, and activities. They have done a wonderful job socializing him with other babies and with doing educational activities with him daily. The updates literally keep me going some days while I’m stuck at work. So Thank You, especially to the infant care team and the directors! You all are so appreciated. I would 100% recommend the Children’s Corner to any parent looking for a daycare for their child!
My son has been with this daycare for over a year now. He is almost 3 and non verbal. The director Brittany and her staff and teachers are beyond amazing with my son. I cried everyday for months missing my son when I had to go back to the office but I had the comfort of knowing he was in good hands. He’s always so happy when I pick him up and when I drop off he loves the teachers. Especially Ms Kelly . He saves his special hugs and kisses just for her. They accommodate his tardiness on his speech therapy days and I can tell they support and want what’s best for my son. This place is also super clean , tons of toys and learning tools and fun arts and crafts for the kids. I really appreciate the shade over the playground in the back and it’s separated by age. Even though we have to move on to an IEP program we will always come back for summer camp. Ms Brittany and Aileen truly make this place like a second home for my son and I will always be forever grateful for them and the staff. I highly recommend this daycare if you are wanting a safe , clean , warm inviting care for your children where the care givers truly care and love your children like their own. 10 stars ⭐️
Love this daycare, the staff and the teachers. It’s a good feeling knowing my daughter is comfortable and safe as my daughter is my number 1 priority. Thank you for all you do!
Children's Corner is a very well maintained child development center. The staff are outstanding and very approachable. their main concern is the development and safety of the children that are enrolled at the center. My granddaughter has been going there for years and loves the center and all of the staff members. I think it is the best child day center, and that's saying a lot coming from me.
