We also love the generous hours and third Friday parent date night each month. It's also in a quiet north end neighborhood rather than on a busy street or in a strip mall. For background, we've had our son in two other daycares over the years. One was cheaper but would send kids home randomly with a 'temperature' just so they could cut staff for the day. You could set your calendar as to when you'd get the call about an imaginary ailment at 2-3p in the afternoon. And our son still is panicked we might take him to the other daycare we tried. They'd just put him in the corner with little to no interaction.

Our son, who is about to turn 3, has been attending the Kangaroo Clubhouse in the North End for…read morejust over a year. We chose the daycare for its close proximity to our home, full day hours, and the fact that breakfast, lunch, and snacks are included in tuition. They also offer monthly parent nights at no additional cost, and monthly Saturday drop-in days for a small fee. For what we get, the price feels extremely reasonable. We also love the staff (especially Brooklyn, Dalynn, & Fox!), who have only ever shown our son genuine love & care. There were some issues throughout the year with staff turnover and less than ideal communication about a few incidents at the daycare. However, since the owner (Jen) has taken over as director of the center, we've seen an incredible change for the better. Jen is very hands-on and always coming up with new activities and curriculum. It's easy to see how much she loves being with kids and wants to see them do well. She is present, communicative, and someone we really trust.

DO NOT send your child to Extreme Aventura under any circumstance…read more The only thing extreme about this daycare is their extreme lack of professionalism and their abject neglect of the children that they are responsible for taking care of. We enrolled our 2 year old son in daycare here and it was the worst mistake we have ever made as parents. When I picked our son up after his first (and only) day at Extreme Aventura, I asked the owner how my son did and she told me he was upset, which is understandable as he's 2 and had never been to daycare before. She said that he was happy when he got to go outside, so they left him outside for most of the day. When I picked him up he had the worst sunburn he's ever had. I asked her if they put any sunscreen on him or had him wear his hat and she said it wasn't necessary because they have plenty of shady areas outside. Anyone with any semblance of common sense knows that a 26 month old toddler knows nothing about sunburns or staying in the shade. Regardless, IT WAS OVER 100 DEGREES OUTSIDE THAT DAY AND THE UV INDEX WAS OVER 8 !!! No amount of shade is going to prevent a very fair-skinned redheaded toddler from getting sunburned when the UV index is 8+ on a 100+ degree day. This is absolutely inexcusable, unforgivable neglect from a childcare provider. Especially since we provided both a hat and sunblock in the diaper bag that we left with him at the daycare. To make matters worse, Extreme Aventura does not follow any kind of safety protocol whatsoever for adults picking up children. I had never been to Extreme Aventura before (his mother enrolled him and dropped him off). They did not know what I looked like as they had never met me, had no photos of me, had never seen my ID and did not have a copy of my ID on file. My wife gave me a numeric code that Extreme Aventura is supposed to obtain from me to verify that I am authorized to pick up our son. They never asked me for this code. I knocked on the door and simply said I'm here to pick up (son's name). That woman went back inside and the owner brought our son out and gave him to me. At no point did the owner of Extreme Aventura, or the lady who answered the door, ask me for the numeric code. Nor did they ask to see my ID. THEY DIDN'T EVEN ASK ME FOR MY NAME! I could have been anyone, as far as they're concerned, and they just let me leave with a child without knowing or even attempting to verify who I am. I promptly informed Extreme Aventura, through the Brightwheel app that they use to communicate with parents, that we would not be bringing our son back to their daycare. My wife additionally emailed them informing them why we would not be bringing our son back. My wife also informed them that we would pay for the day he attended but we wanted a refund of the $150 enrollment fee. They did not respond to my wife's email until I called them and told them that we need a response to the email. They made an excuse over the phone about being closed for a week, however it took them almost 2 weeks to reply to my wife's email and they did so only after I called them. And they never responded to my message. When the owner finally responded to my wife's email she said "I'm sorry you feel that way" then proceeded to make a bunch of ridiculous, BS excuses for their extreme neglect of our son. She also refused to refund the $150 enrollment fee despite the fact that our son was there for only one day and all they did was neglect him, send him home badly sunburned and send him home with someone, who as far as they were concerned and knew, could have been a complete stranger or someone who is not authorized to take a child from their care.
