Description of service

I put my 3-year old child in daycare so that I could return to work. The cost of the daycare was $22 per day, this included formula and the meals for my daughter. Although it didn't include such things as diapers, etc., I considered it very reasonable for the area.


Review of Service

The location is very convenient it is on the route to and from work. The hours are super. The staff I found was very caring and the communication was wonderful. You can tell from the moment that you walk in the door that the people are dedicated to the children's well being. The huge playground is very nice to let the kids burn some energy. The classrooms are very clean and bright. The thing I most liked about the daycare was everyone was trained in First Aid and CPR.

The things that I liked least about the daycare was the closing near the Christmas holiday, but most daycares are like that in the area.


Tips

I would recommend that anyone who is looking to put their child(ren) in daycare to first visit as many facilities as possible and interview other families at the school as well. It is a difficult decision to leave your little ones in the care of others, so it is very important to find a nurturing program that will offer the emotional support for a young child. I narrowed my choices down to 3 daycares and spoke to workers and families from each.
