We'll miss this place so much, but we're so grateful for the loving foundation they've given him. Thanks to their guidance and care, he's more than ready for kindergarten. We're so grateful for everything Red Wagon has done for him!

Kayla (owner of Keeka's Kiddoz) has a predatory contract. You pay a fee to her (via Keeka's Kiddoz)…read moreevery time a babysitter sits for you IN ADDITION to the fee you pay to the sitter. In my case, she demanded $100 every time a sitter visited us. If you need to reschedule, then there is another fee to Kayla yet again, even if it is a makeup, as well as a cancellation fee. And the terms of her contract never expire -- you can never use a nanny found through her service ever again without either paying Kayla that per-visit fee or giving her a $500 "theft of services" fee. Parents beware!

I highly recommend using Keeka's Kiddoz if you are looking for a nanny. Kayla is super quick to…read morerespond and works very quickly to match you up with a wonderful nanny to fit your schedule. We used Keeka's Kiddoz 2 years ago to find a nanny for my three young boys (including a newborn) for two days a week. She found us the best nanny, who we love and became a part of our family. When our nanny decided to open up her own child care facility recently, Kayla helped us find another loving and nurturing nanny to watch my youngest. In both cases she was able to find us a wonderful nanny and very quickly! For anyone who may be hesitant due to cost, this is the second nanny service I've used (the other one was in California). To me, the upfront cost is completely worth it. Kayla pre-screens and pre-interviews the nannies and makes sure she is sending over highly qualified and dependable people. I've had many friends go through Care.com to find nannies and ended up with unpleasant experiences. It is completely worth the cost for ease and also knowing your child is home with someone who has been thoroughly screened and vetted. I can't say enough great things about Keeko's Kiddos- thank you!!

She loves teaching kids and she is the absolute best in the county at it. My kids tried out a couple of other schools in Bend before we found Eco-Kidz. After the first week we went from 3 days to 5 days a week because they begged me to go every day she was open. There was no complaining in the morning, no reminding them to get into the car... they were READY TO GO! She has an unbelievable set up at her school. Her Angel Bear Yoga and Meditation was amazing because my kids got more focused, calmer and paid attention better at home because of it. (I think this helped them learn much faster.) Even after we moved out to Sisters they begged me to bring them to her school one day a week so they could still enjoy her curriculum, which I did. They get to travel around the world, learn art by creating all sorts of things, science by growing things, mixing things together and tending to animals, take on animal and human characters in colorful, silly costumes, enjoy the specialized play areas, games and then... there is the awesome play yard. This school is SPECIAL. Today, 3 years later, my kids are both ONE YEAR AHEAD in Math and English... and it's all thanks to Eco-Kids. They learned how to LOVE LEARNING here. What more could I have asked for? Thank you from the bottom of my heart Mamabear. You're the best!

To know your kids are in a safe place, being nurtured and well loved while at work is the most comforting feeling. My son is now in 1st grade and started there when he was one. My daughter was lucky enough to get in as an infant after my maternity leave and is almost five. They have raised my children along side me. They serve breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack which is huge in my day to day life to not have to pack this for them. They have a nice daily routine with working learning, crafts, naps and play time. I am so very thankful I found Shanna and her team. Hope you get a spot here if you are looking for childcare. You will be blessed to have this team of ladies care for your child.

Questionable billing statements and contrived fees. Poor food quality. Violating Hippa law, discussing billing matters with people other than the contracted parties I have found the owner and daughter to be repeatedly dishonest. I was called to pick my son up due to throwing up. They didn't tell me he had been pushed and hit the back of his head Then started throwing up. Lastly, We showed up at opening to find the owner passed out on the floor. Nice! They may be cheap but as it goes, you sure do get what you pay for. I also discovered I'd been over paying totaling $880.00 in child care fees to which the owner, Shana naturally refuses to refund.

Kaja seems to have such a great network of sitters because the minute each sitter walked in I felt at ease and comfortable with them.

One of my biggest concerns was how situations with residents were handled. I had an experience with a resident and when I went to my manager about it, I was told it was my fault. I thought that was very unprofessional--especially since if I had actually done something wrong, I would've been written up or gotten in trouble. Another major issue was the cleanliness upstairs where Thelma's Place is. Me and a coworker discovered how unsanitary it was. We even found mold growing inside the kids' water bottles, which the kids were actively drinking from. When I asked my coworker if we should say something, she told me she already had--and that management didn't care. To make things worse, I was told one of the manager's daughters is the boss of Thelma's Place, so nothing gets addressed. I had multiple pictures of the mold in those cups. Please, please, PLEASE check your children's water bottles and belongings if they go here. Staff was only scheduled to clean upstairs once a week, meaning water sat in the cups for days at a time. Parents deserve to know what's really going on. They treated their staff terribly too, they had fired a kid and went around telling everyone he was "worthless"..

Seeing how the seniors interact with the children of the new intergenerational child care program has been humbling to witness.

I would recommend both seniors and children to participate in Thelma's Place Day Respite Center and Whoopsy Daisy Child Care because there are so many opportunities for the young and the old to build understanding and meaningful relationships that encourage positive development for all participants.
