Childrens Center

I worked for this facility and there is a huge reason there is a staff turnover.

I for one called in sick one day - with a doctors note saying that he did not want me around children before all the tests for mono came back....

and the director told me I had to come in anyways or be fired because she was "short handed".

I was not the first staff member this happened to and when you care about a child and their health you do not play around with exposing them to harmful diseases.

This staff is friendly and caring; the facility is always clean. My daughter started was in their care from when she was 13 months old until she started kindergarten. We now have an infant son there. Much of the same staff is still there from when my daughter started nearly 6 years ago! We are extremely pleased with the Center and it's teachers and staff.

I was new to the area and struggled with where to send my daughter. She was only 3 months when we began daycare. The Children's Center was close to home and clean. The staff seemed to be nice and they doted over my daughter from day one. My issues lie in that the staff didn't follow written instruction for her feedings, didn't keep her clean and there were often too many children in the infant room with her. Many times more than the legal limit. I don't want my child having to be neglected because of too many kids per teacher. The staff is kind and they do keep me informed, but my overall feeling is uneasy.

I will preface this review by saying that I am very particular about my daughter and where I will leave her. There is large amounts of staff turnover here, and the classroom teachers begin bumping younger students to other classes as soon as they wake up from naps. I was unsure each day when I went to pick her up which classroom I would locate her in.
The classrooms are clean, and the children are well supervised. My daughter did learn quite a few new ideas, songs, etc. She was very familiar with all the employees and became attached to quite a few of them. If you are ok with constant change, and are not looking for a structured preschool program this is a great place to go. Otherwise, I would look elsewhere.

THE STAFF IS FRIENDLY AND I FEEL COMFORTABLE LEAVING MY CHILD FOR THE DAY. THE FACILITY IS ALWAYS CLEAN. THE HAVE PLANNED ACTIVITIES FOR THE KIDS DAILY TO LEARN AND HAVE FUN.
