They took the time to speak with us about our child and her needs. We have enjoyed every minute...our daughter skips in the door in the morning (where we are ALWAYS greeted by management) and comes home talking about what she learned in class. I would highly recommend this center to anyone...it really is 5 star!!

My son was enrolled here for 8 months. I enrolled him when he was 18 months. The location was…read moreconvenient and they had openings for his age group. Also my 13 year old niece attended this center when she was a toddler so I felt comfortable. Boy oh boy was I in for a huge disappointment! I don't even know where to begin. After the third month of enrollment, I started looking for a new facility to place my son. It took another 3 months to find somewhere I felt was suitable and we had to wait 2 more months until the fall semester before he could start there. Hence the 8 months stay at gateway. So this place has an incredible staff turn over. In the 8 months my son was there, literally 8 staff members left or quit or were fired. It was unbelievable! Every few weeks we would get an email informing us that miss so and so is no longer with the center and miss xyz will be starting soon. Sure enough as soon as miss xyz started the cycle would repeat. There was one teacher who was there in the mornings when I dropped my son off and she smelled like marijuana. It blew my mind! How the heck do you come to work at 7am with the stench of weed? The facility opens at 6:30 but is never staffed. I usually dropped my son off at 7am and there was only one teacher there. All the kids from all age groups had to stay with her until the other teachers wandered in between 8:30 and 9am. I'm pretty sure thats a state violation. I came to drop my son off one morning and the teacher was sitting in the classroom moisturizing her feet and taking great care to concentrate on her heels. I was grossed out and pissed. She did wash her hands afterwards but I don't feel that this should have been done at the table where the kids eat their meals. When you have a question for one of the teachers the only response you get is 'I don't know mom. I wasn't there this morning. I just came into the class 30 minutes ago.' At one point I just stopped asking. I brought bug spray to be used on my son. Of course it was NEVER applied. He came home every day with huge bumps from insect bites. The next day I would remind the teacher hey there is bug spray and a permission slip for my son, and l would pick him up again with you guessed it.....bug bites. So I started to drop him off with long pants only. If I did put shorts on him I would douse him with spray when I dropped him off. So they boast water play every Friday in the summer. The first official day, I dropped my son off with his swim clothes, and a change of clothes and his shoes in a bag. I come to pick him up early (thank god) because he has an appointment and he's in the class barefoot. Ok so I'm livid. The teacher said to me 'you didn't send a change of clothes or shoes for him.' I said yes. I gave it to the teacher this morning when I dropped him off. And she said " Well I don't start till 9 so I don't know." Ok that's besides the point. If you think I didn't bring a change of clothes and shoes why on earth didn't you call me and say hey mom we need shoes for your baby? Are you that dense? All the while the bag with my son's clothes and shoes were sitting on his cubby! So my sons last day was on Fri August 24th. I go back to gateway on Monday the 27th to pick up the rest of his belongings and the expensive SSS bug spray that they never bothered using on him. The spray is no where to be found. Only the permission slip and bag that held the spray are in the bin. One teacher asks another if she's seen the spray and she replies "its in my bag." I'm thinking it's in a bag with other odds and ends with class room stuff. Well just when I thought this place and the staff couldn't get lower the teacher comes and retrieves the spray from her purse. She said to me she had to put it up or they would throw it out. I take the bottle and it's pretty much empty. I'm wondering why because the spray was never used on my son. I was so pissed and disgusted. When does this place hit bottom? I could go on and on about this place with all the stories I heard from other parents but I guess it wouldn't make a difference. I'm so glad my son is out of there. Today was his fourth day at his new daycare and he's doing so well. If I could give any advice or would be to stay away from gateway.

I had to do everything virtually and was so flustered (7 months pregnant, moving out of state, 2.5 year old toddler, etc. etc.) that even Miss Brittany stopped me a few times to inform me of some important points I forgot to even ask about. Miss Erica is also phenomenal. I was so nervous to enroll my toddler into a new daycare because the one in Ohio was phenomenal and we had such a great experience. Cadence has been even better. My babies are happy and well taken care of, and I get to see a weekly schedule regarding what the toddler learns. There has been no turnover since we enrolled *knocks on wood-no one leave, please!* And it sounds as though the teachers and administrators are taken care of better here than some other places-this is important! We love Cadence. My only complaint is the app. It's meh, but I know teachers and administrators share the same complaints and they've exploring others.

The director of the center is on site every day and is very responsive over phone and email. You can tell she really cares and that translates to the attitudes of the teachers, too. Kids R Kids has a higher staff to child ratio than is required by the state, so we felt good that our daughter had more attention. The communication between the center and parents is good. There is an app that gives you a full report at the end of the day of all activities (feedings, naps, diaper changes) and they'll occasionally send pictures. There are also video cameras in the room that you can log into to see what's happening live. We really appreciated this level of transparency. They do lots of good activities with the babies - they go outside every day weather permitting, read together, tummy time. I felt like our daughter's motor skills (such as rolling and sitting up) developed rapidly with their help. They also did some very cute art/painting projects. This location of Kids R Kids is in a nice, new building and has a very convenient parking lot. Pickup and drop-off was always fast and simple. The only reason we left this daycare is because we got a spot at a daycare closer to home. In our original search, Kids R Kids was our number one choice and was right near my husband's office. However, due to Covid, we are both working from home and it saved us a lot of driving to change daycares.

Wendy was a god send and was super informative and supportive. I was terrified to introduce solids and they really helped me with that. My son loves all of his teachers (especially Jedah) and always has a smile on his face for Wendy when he's dropped off. I honestly know they love my son and it makes it so much easier to drop him off and just get through the work week. A bunch of teachers that aren't even in his class always say hi to him and know about him (Miss Meghan and Miss Anne). The front desk staff (Brooke, Kristen, Tiffany) and so awesome too. Kim has been super welcoming from the get go. Also the fact that tuition includes food is SO nice. It saves money but more so it's just one less thing to worry about and do during hectic mornings and evenings. Also, they do so many activities and theme weeks - my son lives water play. We have had such a great experience so far.

I have all faith the take care of my baby just like if he was theres. My only issue period isn't to do with the school itself my issue is corporate charges a crazy amount for care but doesn't pay their teachers the way they should. For one child even with dss help its 163.00 a week for 4 days that is a ungodly amout if parents could afford to pay that kinda money then they wouldn't be needing help from dss. Maybe if they paid their teacher more then maybe they could keep kids in every classroom and have enough to run the school without charging outrageous amounts to care for children. You may wanna look at your pricing and evaluate it so you can keep kids enrolled before you loose quite a bit of business.

I enrolled my five month old here as it was…read moreone of the only daycares in the area with immediate availability, which should have been the first red flag. We had consistent issues with a specific teacher in the infant room. She consistently fed him 30+ minutes late, which is a big deal when they are this young. She left him to cry for 30 minutes in his crib, which, apparently, their policy is it's okay to leave them to cry for 15 minutes to "self soothe". I don't know any five month old who self soothes just being left and ignored, but regardless, he was left twice as long as their policy allows. When I called to express my concerns, his crib was moved off camera the following day. They attempted to gaslight me and said that it was "coincidental" that that happened after my complaints. Admin blew me off every time I called with concerns and "diagnosed" me with Postpartum Anxiety, which I do not have. Admin told me they have never had any complaints about this specific teacher before, which after speaking to other parents of Tutor Time, I know is not true. I pulled my son out of this daycare after three weeks. The final straw was seeing them leave his bib on after feeding him, laying him on the floor to play, and I saw him visibly being strangled by the bib on livestream. Please, for the wellbeing of your children, do not send them here.

Beyond Daycare - A True Montessori Experience…read more Woods Montessori has been an amazing experience for our family. We're a one-kid household, so all of this is new to us with new routines, new expectations, new worries. The one thing we were sure about was that early education really matters, and Woods has delivered on that and then some. From school leadership to the teachers in the classroom, we've consistently felt our son is in great hands. A special shout-out to Mrs. Basma, the lead teacher in Classroom Five. She's been incredible. The growth we've seen in our son during his time with her says a lot about her as both a teacher and a person. The changes we see at home are where it really hits. Our son now pours his own milk, drinks from a glass, and loves doing "big kid" tasks. He's more independent and confident, and he's suddenly into things like trying to read, matching games, and even simple chores and watering the plants is a favorite. That feels very much like the Montessori influence coming through. As soon as he turned two, he started potty training, which is something we did not expect to go as smoothly as it has, and the school has been a huge part of that. On top of that, there are spirit weeks, events outside of school that help families and teachers connect, and playdates that have come out of the community there. None of that was on our original checklist when we were looking for daycare, but it's ended up being a big plus. Most importantly, Woods is more than just daycare. It feels like a real learning environment that actually follows Montessori, not just uses the name. If you're considering early childhood options, I'd strongly recommend taking a look at Woods Montessori. At this age, getting a good start matters, and they've given our son exactly that.

I have even personally witnessed how they discipline the children properly. The teacher explains what they did wrong and why it was wrong.
