DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE. All this place cares about is taking your money. Your child's safety?…read moreNOT GUARANTEED. That is exactly what they told me after my daughter was attacked by a new child at this daycare--twice. Initially, they told me it was just a "tiny scratch," but it was actually a deep laceration. It was so severe that we had to take her to the doctor, and it still hasn't fully healed. After the first incident, we were furious but hoped they would take measures to protect her. Instead, they allowed the same child to attack her again. When we asked what they would do to ensure this wouldn't happen a third time, they told us they "couldn't guarantee anything." Essentially, they admitted they cannot guarantee a child's safety. We had no choice but to pull her out immediately, even though we had pre-paid for the full month. Despite speaking with the owner, they have refused to refund the remainder of our tuition. It has been almost a year, and it still breaks my heart to see the scar on my daughter's face every day.

Her options for clinicals is 10 hour days in Lacey out 5 hour nights in Tacoma. She's a minor, illegal to work 10 hour days not to mention she is in school and Tacoma is almost 2 hours away from our residence. One would think that since the class was taken in Lacey, clinicals would also be in Lacey. There are no options for weekend clinical hours! This makes school/work /family/life difficult to make this work. I do not recommend this business to get your CNA license unless you are have no daily requirements.

I am still amazed more people don't review child care centers. That would be helpful if they did…read more We have used three different child care centers in the Olympia area over a period of 5+ years. Two of those I consider excellent, and I would recommend them to anyone. Serendipity is one of the two excellent ones (message me if you want to know the other one). I believe that the quality and success of these places is determined by strong leadership - by good directors who know what they are doing. They are the ones who can hire the best teachers and retain them. Of course, we are obviously very happy with the teachers at Serendipity. Our child likes them too! Serendipity is relatively large, with about 3 classrooms per age group. It is well organized and professional, and all sorts of information is available to the parents on daily activities, meals, learning, special activities, etc. One unique aspect is that there are numerous classes that the kids can take during their day (for an extra charge) there at the facility. They have swimming lessons, ballet, various sports, and more. Imagine avoiding the hassle of taking your kid to these activities...instead, just letting the school do it for you! So yeah, we are happy with Serendipity.

Teachers alone should get five stars. The staff are great. My kids have had a great bond with…read moretheir teachers. The facility is really nice, but here also is the reason for my mediocre review. I think the rent/overhead must be really high, because it is far and away the most expensive daycare in the area. And the tuition is going up incredibly from one year to the next, mostly due to the administration's desire to offer a benefit to teachers, which is admirable. But given how expensive the tuition is, one would think there would be more perks to being located at such a nice fitness center. The kids do get to use the pool 1x a week in the summer, and they go to the gym occasionally, but classes are expensive and I don't think they use the outdoor space enough in the rainier months. Bottom line: Given the tuition hike, we'll be looking for another place, weighing pros and cons. There is no money better spent to me than making sure my kid is well-cared-for. Just not sure it has to be so inflated compared to the cost of living here.
