My son recently went here for the summer. DO NOT fall for the things they claim to offer. NONE OF…read moreIT EXISITS. Do not let it attract you. As someone who went to the Goddard school for years if this is something you are looking for...just go down the street. The teachers have little to zero desire to be there and it is obvious. My son would come home saying he heard cussing by them all day and being told countless time that they cant wait until the kids leave. They have zero control over the environment and have a lot of throwing of toys and other objects. There was an incident of inappropriate behavior that was never properly addressed or handled. They tend to ignore any issues and just agree that it isn't ok.... yeah we know. I had advised them that we will be leaving due to all of this and the teachers inappropriate behavior. The next day I was charge for the next month a week and a half early. Overall, this is by far the ABSOLUTE WORST experience I have ever had with child care. Completely unprofessional environment. I am still in shock with the things my son would come home and tell me he overhead or was told from the "teachers" There is not an ounce of this place I would recommend.

Both of our children have been going to Le Chaperon Rouge in Hudson for a total of 6 years and we…read morecouldn't have asked for a better place to send our children during the day. As soon as you walk in the doors, there is a vibe and feeling like no other. Whether you are in the front office area, in the classrooms, or even chatting in the main play area with another family or the teachers, you are greeted with smiling faces and laughter. The staff truly love the children like their own, and their goal each and every day is to make sure that the children are in a safe, fun learning environment. The academic curriculum surpasses all others. I love that my children are able to learn how to read, write, speak Spanish and French, but also learn about respecting others and cooperation outside the home. Truly a wonderful place and I would always recommend them first! 5 stars all around!

My son has attended TLC for the past three years and we have had a wonderful experience. His…read moreteachers are patient, kind and wonderful with the children. In the pre-k classroom the curriculum is fun, educational and age appropriate. Our son knows his letters, numbers and most importantly demonstrates a love for learning. TLC has been incredibly flexible with my fluctuating work schedule and my son can't wait to get to school every morning. Not sure what we'd do without TLC!

Let me preface my review by saying that I do have high expectations when someone watches my child…read more I am happy to pay whatever dollar amount, but inconsistent care is not acceptable. We moved in from out of state and I looked at 2 daycares. A national chain that used with a curricular approach and TLC. We chose TLC, because of the low infant to 'teacher' ratio, which is 3 to 1. The facility is nice and people were nice enough. Pricing was high for this market, but expected at that level of staffing. The first week or so were a bit of a transition, which we expected. My son didn't sleep well there and stopped holding his bottle and being as active as normal. I chalked this up to a big move and change of daycares. After about 2 weeks things started to get a little strange, whenever we picked up my son he was either sleeping or being fed. We never saw him on the floor playing with other kids. The other kids were always being fed or sleeping. Granted we weren't there long stretches of time, but I heard parents say the same thing to the workers. In week 3, we showed up to drop off my son and the infant room did not have a normal teacher. The fill in from the toddler room stated she didn't know where anyone was. She also stated she understood if we didn't want to leave him with her. All of this struck us as strange. We decided based on gut to leave. I emailed the management and expressed my concern about a lack of backup and system in place to deal with this type of situation. The reply from management was 'these things happen especially with bad weather.' The problem with this statement is that day did not have bad weather. We took the weekend to think about it and thought to give it one more shot. We tried to make an appointment with management and they kept pushing the date to later in the week. This should have been telling that they were not receptive to our concerns. We took my son to the daycare and the lead teacher was in the room. She apologized for the lack of a teacher on the prior Friday. She said the teacher who is normally there had an issue late night at her apartment. We left our son and decided my wife would go back to check. She did and the normal early morning teacher was very sick and talking to the lead teacher. They both seemed surprised my wife showed up. My wife found my son in the crib with a dirty diaper screaming. He had obviously been crying for a while. The two teachers had been in the other room talking evidently not paying attention to the crying of my son or other children. Ultimately, the number of incidents in a compressed time made us switch daycares. For some reason the management decided it was necessary to write an email telling me why all my concerns were baseless after we pulled him. Additionally, they stated no other children had been pulled in the past 11 years. This is patently false. A child at our new daycare was originally at TLC. I do not think they mistreat children, but in the week after being at TLC my son had reengaged with the new kids at his new daycare. He was scooting around laughing with the other kids and playing with the teacher. This is exactly how he interacted in his prior daycare. I am sure this review will send them through the roof, but it is all true. I am giving it 2 stars, cause the facility is nice.

Over the last few months I've seen a lot of posts asking advice on childcare etc. in green and I…read morethought it'd be worth it to share my own story just in case anyone else out there starts to feel defeated and or doesn't know what to do. Just a little over two months ago my son started at Once Upon a Daycare (right behind Jersey's) in green and I cannot tell you the night and day difference I have seen with him. While atkas is only 2, he has shown many milestone delays, especially with speech, as well as showing several austisic traits. With all of that said-- Miss Rosie has such incredible knowledge with the extra help that he has needed and I have found myself able to breathe a little bit again. I cannot say great enough things about finding this place and Miss Rosie-- but if you're looking for an affordable, helpful, fun place for your kid to go I highly recommend Once Upon a Daycare!

Not enough good things can be said about Rosie and her Staff. Ever since we started having our kids…read moreat Rosie's they have excelled in ways we didn't even know are possible. We have been going to Once Upon a Daycare for a year now and have been thrilled with the results. It has worked for our family in so many ways. The early start and late end have helped our family maintain our working schedules and to not have to worry about the kids is a weight off my shoulders. Rosie has been able to provide My wife and I with quality, worry-free, cost effective daycare and preschool. I would highly recommend Once upon a Daycare to any one who would ask me.
