What Parents Say
York Day Nursery receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from families, with most parents praising the caring, professional staff and strong educational environment. Multiple long-term families have enrolled multiple children at the center. However, two recent negative reviews raise concerns about staff management practices and workplace conduct.
Went to this daycare from 94-97 starting back when it was on E Market St. Ms. Schaeffer was my teacher. It was great and so fun. I learned so much in my early days at this school. 10/10.
I walked through the door of YDEL every weekday for 7 years for my 3 children. Every person from the top down, including board members were supportive, cared, and took the time to really get to know my family. I would recommend them to anyone looking for high quality care.
Much love to this daycare for not only their services, but their kindness, love, respect, understanding and help that made me feel secure that my kids were going to be safe and taken care of. From the moment your child walks in to the moment they walk out it’s nothing but a big smile how they had a great day! I’ve seen them work with difficult kids with such calm and complete professionalism. Most staff are parents, so they understand. Most parents that enroll their kids let them do whatever at home (which shows) but still, they understand. Having a male director and teacher has shifted the atmosphere an even better way as many kids do not have a positive mail role model, and these guys rock! If anyone has something negative to say, I’d be surprised. My now to be 13 year old graduated from preschool there and it was my personal mission for my younger children to do the same. And, so they did! Thank you to ALL the consistent workers that taught and built close relationships with my children, prepared them for kindergarten, fed them, supported them, respected them and brought out the best version of their tiny little being! We love you! Our mission will be to give back to you to continue to give and assist to families like us. Because of you, when I needed it the most, I am forever thankful!!
They chase out good families and teachers/staff. There is no consideration for the wellbeing of the children they are tasked to care for, if the board really cared about the kids they wouldn't terminate/create a hostile work environment for the teachers and staff that do a great job and continue to promote those that don't.
Our youngest child has thrived and grown so much since starting at York Day! We could not be more pleased with the personal connections the teachers have with him, how connected we are to his education, etc.
