I recently did a walkthrough and instantly fell in love with this daycare. The staff are so caring and loving, and the way they cater to the children is truly heartwarming. I really wanted to enroll my baby, but unfortunately, the time slot I needed wasn’t available. Even so, I would definitely recommend this place to any parent looking for a safe and nurturing environment.

My daughter has been enrolled at Wonder Years since 2020. She and I both love the staff, activities and she is excited every summer to go back. Wonder Years is the only place that I would trust my children with. I originally enrolled my daughter when I worked 10 hour shifts at a plant and they were very accommodating with my schedule. Since then I’ve switched to a 9 to 5 and they have been a huge help along the way. I wouldn’t go anywhere else in the city.

Excellent staff! Excellent Teachers! Excellent Management! Excellent over all! It is so hard dealing with children and families from all different backgrounds and personalities! You never know who and what will be around your child, when leaving them in the hands of others. But wonder years Makes it there goal to keep child safety FIRST!! And that’s what’s important! My nice has came here since an infant before starting kindergarten this year and I’m so appreciative of all the staff and the Supervisor most importantly. She has always remained professional, VERY informative and Very upfront about the safety and comfort of you and you child as well as her staff! And anyone who disagrees was PROBABLY THE PROBLEM! 50 gold stars!!!

Long post but informational and necessary! My son has been going to Wonder Years since 2021 when he was only 6 weeks old! You can imagine how nerve wrecking that is for a mom but they took good care of my baby boy! SECURITY: they have to buzz you in for you to be able to open the door and there’s a tablet you must put your code into in order to check your child in and out. You don’t immediately walk right into one room with all the kids in it like at most daycares and I love that. When you walk in, you walk into a vestibule and there are more doors than are locked from the outside before you get to any of their several areas. UPDATES: there is an app where you can message the teachers and director/owner directly and they respond quickly! They upload pictures (not daily but if there’s an activity to share) this is also where they communicate upcoming trips, events, announcements on top of sending flyers home. Over this passed summer they had plenty of trips! They also do picture days with professional photographers. FOOD: they not only post a weekly menu but they will also upload on the app what your child ate and if they ate some or most of it. There have been times I dropped my son off 10 minutes before breakfast was over and the teachers still made sure my son got some if he wanted. CARE: I can tell they care for my son, even when he gained new teachers. There were times when he may have wet himself but he’s already worn his extra clothes that I approve of how they handled those situations when they’ve happened. If there’s ever been an incident, for example, he fell or scraped his knee or even if another child was doing what kids sometimes do and was playing a little too rough, they will send home an incident report AND call me to let me know even if it was minor. I’ve recommended my friend to this daycare and my husband also recommended someone and they both brought their children over. My son will be starting school soon but if I had to start over I’d choose Wonder Years again.

I grew up going to wonder years as a child and pre-teen. I know a lot of the staff that worked there over the years and have always had a great experience while having spent time there. My experience has been from when I was a new born in 1998 all the way up to 2012. After this I went on to Highschool and later college. In 2019 I had the privilege of working there for that summer as a counselor alongside the other Latchkey counselor, together we were responsible for watching the kids in our group during activities and meals. I give this detail because it allowed me to interact with familiar faces and gain work experience in an environment that I grew up in. Seeing how daily tasks were done and what it took to be a counselor added to my appreciation for Wonder Years. Ive since went on to finish college in Winter 2022, I owe my amazing childhood experience throughout those summers to Wonder Years. This place is legit and will do right by each child that comes in its doors, thank you Wonder Years for the amazing time and memories!
