The owner, Lindsay, is regularly on site, very detail oriented and cares immensely for her families, the parents and kids she cares for. She chooses great people to work for her and I always drop off my kids, confident they will have fun and be well taken care of. Give yourself a break and your kids a fun afternoon- take them to Bizi Kidz!

Preferred Childcare's office staff were unpleasant to deal with and unwilling to find a long-term…read morenanny for my needs. They would send multiple new-to-us sitters each week, even though many of those sitters told me in person that they'd love to have the position as a recurring job. This was immensely stressful to me as a working parent - I had to be home to meet each new sitter and go over the job over and over again. There were also frequent last minute cancellations, especially on Friday afternoons. Ultimately, they did not offer the advertised service as I was doing just as much work as if I were hiring the sitters directly, only for a higher price.

I would think twice about using this service as a Covid-conscious family. If you use this service,…read morebe sure to ask about what their policies are about ensuring that babysitters/nannies are vaccinated, and ensuring anyone they send is actually vaccinated and maintains other covid-conscious practices. Through this service, we were paired with a nanny who wasn't fully vaccinated and lives with people who refused to vaccinate, and I'm glad I double-checked on this nanny to realize this before the person came to our home. I think this may have been a good business before Covid times, but now their policies are not aligned with those who are more covid-consciousness. We were with his company for months and they couldn't find a permanent vaccinated nanny. We ended up finding one ourselves without this agency's help. Through them, we did have some great temporary nannies, but this company did not provide the reliability or safety that we really needed. Today, their owner admitted to me "We do not require vaccinations because we don't have to and feel it is a very personal choice." I wish I had known this before we spent hundreds on this agency. They should have been upfront about that from the get-go instead of making the misrepresentation that, "Unfortunately, as an employer, we are unable to ask for their [babysitters] clarification [about vaccination status] for medical reasons."

The center has so much potential as there isn't much in the area, but Roxanne needs to pour more into the center with playground care, and staff training. I read another review where they expressed she was money hungry and not following up with a parent who left unhappy, shows my child was just another dollar in the center. You'll be sold for the app they use for pictures and day to day updates, just be ready to receive the bare minimum updates. There are no active cameras in the center. A staff member told me to me and my childs face she was not ready for my child to be in her class. My child was picked up with numerous scratches and bumps that took almost 2 weeks to completely heal, and without being notified before pick up an incident occurred. The teachers are burnt out and not 100% trained to teach children. Considering my child's teacher told us "i don't have the patience to teach kids." But you're a teacher right? Don't expect any compliments on your child or how great their day was, you'll hear how tired and annoyed the teacher is instead. Out of the 10 teachers at the center (i think, there is always rotating faces in the center without being notified and no actual security to enter the center) only about 2 actually show love and care to the children. Take your money elsewhere. It's worth being on a waitlist somewhere else.

Peacehaven Farm is growing by leaps and bounds, and is currently renovating a large barn to be an event space.

The value is in the people that live at Peacehaven Farm, as it provides opportunity for individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities.

The project leader was so kind and helpful, always answering with a smile. The head honcho, Buck, was so grateful for our service, and really understood our need to honor our dear friend. We had 40 people, which was a large group for the small area we were in, but they made sure we all felt a part of what was going on. They made sure the day was "ours" so that we could talk about Mike, and do whatever felt like we were honoring him. We will be going back next year, but maybe even before then!
