We were worried, as we have moved around a lot that my son was suffering because of it, but the teachers in orange room made such an effort to give him time and attention that he loved it from day one! The rooms are self contained, as in restrooms, playgrounds etc and very well equipped and clean. They also have access to more toys/ equipment that they rotate weekly so your little one will never get bored. There is also a great room that they use for more physical fun if the weather is so bad that they can't get outside. I was so gutted when we learned we had to move again as I really hoped I'd found a preschool for the next 4 years for both my sons.

After our first daycare…read moredidn't leave us with "warm and fuzzies" our search was on for a place our infant could call home and Happy Days was it! It has been great to be able to be involved and feel like his care is more of an extended family rather than a "center". Our son has grown into a bright and caring little boy with many friends and teachers he feels are like family. The creating and growing preschool and pre-k have been so wonderful in allowing continuity and learning and we truly appreciate the great job Happy Days does on a daily basis!

We brought our infant here from 3months-6months. It was a second choice daycare as we waited for…read morean opening at our first choice daycare. The best thing about this place were the infant teachers. They have since left, so there is no reason to bring your kids here. The daycare is a mess, they lost our payment once, and it's kind of gross in there. We moved our son to Dorothy's Discovery Daycare, and while it's more expensive, it's a much better place, and they treat their staff better. I am so glad we only needed to go here for a few months. I would honestly look elsewhere. None of the staff that we loved ended up staying, they have all since left, and some have even ended up working at Dorothy's!

I was a mess leaving her but all the staff were so supportive and understanding.Now that she's a bit older, drop off is no hassle as she happily goes with the staff. The teachers are great and I really do feel like they're part of our Team helping to raise our daughter. They care about her development and cheer her on each day. I never hesitate to contact them or ask a question during the day (and they always are quick with a reponse!). -The app is a wonderful tool. It makes it easy to communicate with the teachers/them with you. If you get to work and realize you forgot to tell them something, it's so easy to let them know. -The curriculum they follow is fun and educational. Every week we get pictures and notes of all the fun things our kid did. Even though she's not even 1, they have her painting and exploring things! I think she has more fun there than at home some day. -The teachers always know what happened if there's an incident, which as my daughter learns to stand/walk, are bound to occur. She has never come home with a random scratch or bruise and no explanation. -The cameras are great (especially at first). Leaving a 12 week old was so difficult and having the cameras to look in on her really helped. Now it's just fun to pop in and see how she's doing. It makes me feel less cut off from her. -We feel very safe having her here. It was a tough decision to send her back during covid, but we have had nothing but a positive experience. I even saw a staff member sanitizing a high chair, a baby put one hand on it when the staff member went to put it away, and she sanitized it all over again. The staff is always wearing masks. All the safety protocols in place made me comfortable enough to send her back. We are so happy to have Everbook on our Team!

This is a great option if you want more structure than an inhome daycare or nanny, but slightly…read moremore reasonable cost than some of the other chain daycares in the area. The hours are also better than some other places, where you can bring your child in anytime from 6:30am to 6:30pm. Our children love going here, I'm a big fan that they provide the lunches and snacks for the kids (one less thing to have to worry about), and they use an app where you can get real-time updates about how your child is doing as far as meals, diapers, naps, etc. Some of the teachers are more or less on top of sending you a photo of your kid to you too. You can also use it to send messages to the teachers too. Outside each classroom they have a post of what the daily schedule is, plus what are the activities for each day. Recently, our child comes home with usually at least 1 project from the day, usually drawing or painting, etc. However, there are times I visit my child during when the schedule says they'll be doing some activity, to find the kids mostly having free roaming time. The negatives are that there does seem to be a lot of staff turnover, especially in the infant room, though the lead teachers are stable, the assistant teachers changed over at least 4 times in the course of one year. I also don't like that they dont ever announce any of this, so you have no clue if they went away on vacation and then to realize a few weeks later that they must have left. Similar to one of the older posts from a few years ago, it still rings true, where our child has been called out to go home early because they thought she had the various illnesses that were going around the school. Each time we pulled her out, brought her to the pediatrician, who confirmed she was fine and didn't have the symptoms of the illness they said they thought she had.

We then experienced a minor complication regarding the boys' age group (by no fault of ISW, but CCN). Once again Danielle swiftly did all she could to remedy the situation and somehow find room for two extra children! As a single mom, you can imagine I was extremely stressed. Danielle, Brittany & Rachel all miraculously made this hasty, unexpected transition run smoothly! Since the boys have been attending day care at ISW, they've learned so much! They've made several new friends & have had many new experiences! I love the pictures sent to my email almost daily showing the fun & education experienced by my boys. They have so much fun in the classroom with everyone including Mr Bobby, Mr Jay, and Miss Brittany!!!

I cannot tell you how many times my colleagues had to call out of work because their daycare had closed and this one just a few miles away was still open! So reliable! If you're a physician or resident physician where you don't always have a lot of control over your schedule this is exactly the type of daycare you want! On top of that, all meals, snacks, diapers, and wipes are provided by the daycare center so you save a ton of money and time. They do super cute crafts and take amazing photos all day.

The teachers in my son's classroom are so friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable.

I decided to check out this school upon the glowing reviews I heard from friends and neighbors who…read morehad their children and or grandchildren attend previous years. I went and toured the school and it appeared to be a great fit. But "all that glitters is not gold"!! The owner is nice and Admin/front desk people were always pleasant. But teachers were subpar to say the least. They were immature, unprofessional, don't know how to communicate and lacked compassion for the children. I even overheard on more than one occasion, a teacher yelling at the kids when picking up my child. Also, as a whole the school needs to communicate better when things are going on within the school. For example, whether it's announcement for picture day, spirit week, or illness has the potential to be spreading around the school. As parents we are busy heading to work,etc. and may not have the time to stop and read what's on the wall(s) of the school. In cases I mentioned above the school should be sending out emails to parents not just sheets of paper posted around the school. Because by the time a parent may have the time to slow down and read it maybe too late. All in all, this was my experience and believe there are better schools to choose from in the Plymouth-Canton area.
