I would like it known that Ms Claire is a warm, kind person that has told me on many occasions "I…read morelove my job". She cares about each child and their welfare. To "Blessed" - young children lose teeth, this is not abnormal. You've also never known a toddler to fabricate a story from their imagination? Your review is irrational and harmful.

Her program provides a warm, supportive environment for children to learn and grow. Claire has a strong knowledge of child development and works with families creating a wonderful bond. She sees the children in her care as family and it is a testament to her care and ability to foster positive relationships that so many families stay in touch long after their children age out of her program.

I currently have my child in this center, and although some teachers are not very friendly and at…read moretimes come across as snotty, however, so far I like the teachers that work closely with my child; they are very friendly and polite. In addition, I also like that this center is clean and it seems to be education oriented which I like. The downside is that the diversity in the teachers is not represented in the diversity of that of the students, which is important for both students and parents to have individuals they can identify with culturally and ethnically. Otherwise, so far I really feel at ease leaving my child at this center.

My daughter, the teachers, and I have noticed a huge difference in his interest in learning. He has given up some negative behaviors he had at the last pre-school. He was probably bored, but now he is constantly stimulated to learn, create, and play. We are very pleased with Kids Junction!

This caused a little girl to fall off the other side. She was crying and covered in dirt. No one came to help her. Teachers are frequently on their cell phones. I know it is difficult to get dedicated day care teachers but I don't think I would send my child to Kids Quarters

They have impacted our lives and our childrens lives in ways that we can't even explain. Our children have moved on as we have moved to East Greenwich but to this day they still talk about Bright Ideas and all of the fond memories that they have there. I'm sure they will remember their teachers and experiences for life. I know we will. WE LOVE YOU GUYS, Love, Ahmed, Nancy, Gabriel, Lola, Sofia, Bella and Eve!

The director is rude and has everyone walking on eggshells around her. She made very disrespectful comments on my hair and doesn't know how to talk to people. Zero discipline for the kids so they do whatever they want because they know nothing will happen. To be frank, it's boring. 10 minutes of "circle time" where the kids don't remember things we told them 15 minutes earlier then all day is playing in centres. Three years old and the kids don't know their colours, shapes, names, numbers, or letters because they aren't being taught.

We ended up at Trailside Daycare last minute when my mom hurt her back and could no longer watch my…read moredaughter. She started in the toddler room and from day one I felt at ease. I was allowed to call anytime and check in and that helped me as a parent. My daughter never cried about being left there and when I would pick her up she would give me a huge hug them want to stay. There was minor staff changed over the years but a lot of tenured staff. All the staff was nice and each one I considered a good role model for my daughter. They held events throughout the year really showing how they were proud for their kids. My daughter learned a lot through play and was well prepared for school. From growing carrots to hands on wild and messy painting (as it should be!) to quiet time with books or independent crafting, we loved it. My daughter 2 years later is still friends with other classmates. Trailside's a gem. Chris now runs Trailside and while she seems very businessy my daughter (and us) loved her. She showed kids what rules are, how to follow them and how to have fun.

My son is now graduating to Kindergarten and is already reading and writing. From the very onset of our time here, we've always felt like the staff loves our children as if they were there own. When Covid hit, we were reassured that our children were safe and they were. Tender Hearts approach was always to be as pragmatic as possible while abiding the Dept. of Health guidelines. We actually tried to move our children closer to home after my husband and I shifted to working remotely and we ended up right back at Tender Hearts because we learned there is no place like it. It's home and I can't recommend it any higher!

It's hard to find good people to care for your kids but anything is better than this place. You will constantly worry about your children if you send them to this center. Don't waste your time.

They have provided a loving, trustworthy, thoughtful, and educational environment. Staff make it a point to learn about each child and create lasting relationships. It truly feels like "the neighborhood daycare/early childhood center" that so many caregivers wish for and for that, I have so much gratitude. As a parent, the last I want is to worry about my child when I drop them off. Never have I been worried about leaving my child there. Regarding the building, it's clean, safe with a security door, and a fenced play yard away from the busy street. they follow the public school curriculum. The teachers are wonderful. The director is amazing. If your child goes to DECC, you're one of the lucky ones.
