If I could give 0 stars, I would. During my time here, I had concerns about how management handled communication and professionalism. In interactions involving management (sisters with the initials J. and N.) and another employee (initial G.), I experienced behavior I felt was unprofessional and discussions that were inappropriate regarding staff and parents. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this daycare.
Management’s communication with staff is severely lacking and I felt certain issues weren’t handled professionally. I also observed behavior among staff and management that felt unprofessional. Don’t send your kids into this environment.
My son has been going here for a year and a half now. He receives outside services with which this daycare is extremely supportive. They do a wonderful job transitioning between rooms, he loves his teachers and their activities and the communication has always been very good. In terms of care for your child and staff retention, activities and communication, this is one of the best daycares that we have seen.
My son went here for a few years, and to be honest, it is one of the best daycares I had found. The owners Jamie and Nikki were always there to answer any concerns and were very professional, and always went out of their way to help! We had two different teachers while we were there, and both teachers were also great with him!
This daycare had been the best in the valley. Since under new management and ownership, we found that their quality of care has declined significantly. How they handle their staff and children is a sad situation and to play favorites with both who they allow as students and Employees. The highly experienced employees that made this center's reputation have all but disappeared. the cumulative level of of experience with both management and their staff is so low, I would never enroll another child there.
