Probably a good option for older kids
by JuneBug
I liked the way the school looked. I probably would've chosen this place if my child were older when I was looking, but for infant and toddler care it seemed very crowed and I was not happy with the ratios. A friend took me to see it while she was picking up her preschooler, the infant room was supposed to have a 4 to 1 ratio (which I already thought was high) and during my pop in visit, there were 10 babies with only 2 staff members. All the kids were in bouncies, swings or high chairs. This worried me. Additionally, I asked one of the girls if this was normal for the group size and staffing and she told me it was okay because they were older infants and almost ready for the 5 to 1 ration anyway.
Other than that, the older classes (although the ratios were high - but not out of compliance) looked fun and cheerful. My friend's child was 3 at the time and in a class of about 18 with two staff. She and the child were happy and the good location allowed my friend to visit her child during the day if she wanted....I thought that was neat!
I didn't meet the owner, but the woman in the office was pleasant.
Pros: Location
Cons: Large groups, High ratios
