Brichta is definitely more of a pre-school then daycare. It's at an actual former elementary…read moreschool, so you don't get the yucky daycare smell as you walk in. However, outside the superficial, Britcha is anything but. The teachers in each classroom are very well supported. Each usually has one or two class aids. Additionally, students from the UA come to get some of their teaching hours there. They have a very welcoming environment and refer to children in gender neutral terms as "friends." They also have referrals for AZEip if your child needs it. This is NOT a money run business like you find at places like Adventure time with inconsistent staff. They even have rates for government employees. It took us 3 years to find the best place for our kiddo. Don't pass up Brichta without checking it out first. It is truly a west side gem. In addition to their regular curriculum they also offer enrichment class! During the day!!! While your little is already at school! Music! Sign Language! Spanish! Soccer! These are taught by actual instructors and coaches.

Felt…read moreexcited about it after the tour but bringing my 1 yr old in quickly became a major source of anxiety every day. My son is typically a very social, happy, and engaged boy and even at our first daycare, which we did not love for similar issues, he at least was very very quick to warm up and happy to be there. This place was a different story altogether and my main and major gripe is with the young ones teacher, Ms. Ryann--cold, detached, minimally engaged. I spent 40 minutes with my son to help him ease in on his first day at this daycare. The whole time I was in the 1 year old room, his teacher did not greet either of us, did not offer to show us where to put things....nothing. I had to go up to her and ask her right as I had to leave. She did barely anything to comfort my son when he burst into tears when I went to leave. All big red flags to me. It continued like that for our whole time there and from the times I was able to check in on the livestreams, it was the same thing from this teacher -- bare minimum greetings or verbal/app updates, no warmth towards my son as he'd walk around crying by himself throughout the mornings, no attempts to get him to join the other babies as she sat in the corner with them like a lazy lump doing no activities any time I looked in. Wouldn't know if she ever did since she never sent a single update picture the entire time we stayed there. Every day when I dropped him off and picked him up, he would totally melt down and cling to me--very different from his typical personality and even very different from his quick and easy adjustment period at his last daycare. The only day he seemed happy at pickup AND the only day we got a single picture update was a day another teacher covered. That teacher actually led art activities and I saw her smiling and engaging with him and the other babies each time I checked the livestream. The difference in his demeanor was night and day, after just one day On top of all that, he was being offered hardly any water while he was there with the normal teacher, as evidenced by a sudden and notable change in his BMs, his desire to guzzle the water I offered him at pick up and from me beginning to monitor the water level of his cup at drop off and pick up (which didn't change at all on multiple days) When we toured, one of my main concerns was that his last daycare wasn't actually taking the babies outside to play at all and we were assured these kiddos went out practically every single morning. I did tend to bring him at the tail end of the time the babies were supposed to be outside most mornings, but there was never any sign of the others being outside. Yet, when I would check the cameras to see if my baby was having a better time later in the AM (about an hour or so after drop off and the time they were meant to be outside), the kids wouldn't be visible on cameras as it seemed they were outside.... I asked about this and was told they werent actually outside at this time, just "watching the other kids play from the door"....because why?? Sounds kind of mean to not let them get their own play time, but make them watch others play...probably just because the teachers themselves wanted to socialize. That's an assumption, to be fair, but not far fetched imo To be transparent, we were only there for about 2 weeks/7 actual days. I let the director know concerns at disenrollment but didn't wait around for her to address them--time is short and everything in my gut was saying this situation sucked for him. The director didn't seem bad, and the rest of the staff was at least friendly on surface level so 2 stars instead of 1 SO happy we switched places, as it was an immediate change in his happiness and demeanor on day 1 and every single day since. We're greeted warmly and he gets right into playing happily. Hes all smiles at pickup, and we get tons of activity photos all day long. They go outside every morning and sometimes in PM and his poo is magically back to normal! Who would have thought warm energy and offering water could make such an immediate and drastic difference

For the first two years of my daughter's life, she was cared for at home by only family and it was very nerve-racking having to put her in daycare. However, Miss Tasha and her team have made my daughter feel so welcome and safe! Hearing my daughter, talk about her day and getting to see all the updates through the app really does put my mind at ease! The fact that they offer Saturday care was huge! What really sealed they do for me was one morning I dropped off my daughter, and she was having a hard time with me leaving. As I was handing her to Miss Tasha, my daughter reached for her willingly and was able to muster up a goodbye through her tears. As soon as I left, I would say no more than five minutes I was getting an update through the app with my daughter in much better spirits having a morning snack. Not only was my daughter comfortable, but I was at ease! They understand how hard it can be for both the child and the parent when making this transition and their commitment to making both of us comfortable is truly incredible

The whole place is out of order and sketchy, director constantly hiring, you have current employees…read moretraining teachers and then telling all the drama to new people, current employees if it's such a bad place then why continue work there? And say horrible things about director(boss) 1 teacher tells everything , there's actually 3 of them ..about the whole place and how it's ran how new people don't last and this is how the boss is and if she continues to treat people like that she's going to continue losing people. New people don't last hours are not guaranteed it's only closers. Every young woman of all the teachers has complained to new teachers about hours and how they do what they want. They clean the tables with white thin cloths and rinse them out turn around wipe every nose and hand of every child and reuse on table. Witness a teacher telling multiple kids do u want a spanking? For misbehavior, they all walk around with attitudes no communication act like they don't want to train. Had a teacher also say cameras are in place just for the look cameras don't work they don't want other parents watching other children also it's also bad because there's no way to prove that's all the teachers are on there cellphones keep them in there hand all day and in pocket hide them under the child's sleeping mat as soon as the assistant or health and specialist walks in. They know that employees are on there phone won't do anything about it. They also get the parents numbers as communication to text thru out the day and say that's the reason why they need there phone. They like blaming teachers for diapers and putting blame on not having enough diapers or putting wrong diaper on a child. There's no way to prove all the teachers are on there cellphone but make employees sign a phone contact but there on there phone 24/7. Teachers call out alot and complain why are other teachers going home early.theres is a lead teacher there's that always has panic attacks n saying omg to the kids u guys are bad she calls off everyday never there then says u dont get hours. They bounce teachers around never in a consistent room there was suppose to have a new room open and never opened for kids to be in and start new teachers in. Witness a teacher popping a child on the hand, never got direct deposit information up until the last point. The teachers currently here talk about the director and said very bad things but continue to work there not sure if she knows it but they have workers there telling any and all new oncoming people stuff and then say that's why they don't last they really tell everything that's going on there but continue to stay there. There is also a couple that works there have the same skedule and constantly in one another's room sneaking and hiding when there not suppose to be out the room witness a teacher giving something to another while the director was across the way and she got scared and said I think the director saw me so the other one told her to go around the other way so she wouldn't see her. Teachers try to find out personal information ask a bunch of questions then gossip everything is gossip. They talk to u like ur stupid like as if u don't know what's going on. Send people home early if they get mad at you as well there is favtsm there. Quite a bite race going on there too if there not able to communicate. One teacher talks so badly about the owner but reports everything back to her on cellphone. Text her .. Teachers complain about having another class in there class and why can't they go to there own and be with there teacher. Everything was late in paper work I had to keep asking for my ADP login and direct deposit when other teachers got there. They say 1 thing but body actions doing another they make it seem all nice n good and it's not do not take your kids here at all ! They need to get rid of some of the workers currently there is why there messing everything up for incoming people telling stuff and discouraging new workers everything is negative out there mouth towards about the boss and towards her I though it was so messed up.
