The toddler area seemed pretty minimal and the kids seemed bored and wanted to be in the area with the bigger kids. Employees were friendly and did a good job monitoring kids during play.

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.

**AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM REVIEW**…read more My son was signed up for the after school program 3x a week here at Fun 2B Fit for only 2-3 months, and he loved it! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The staff picked him up from school in a van and took him to the gym. The after school program ends at 6pm, but the staff is more than willing to work with you if you are running late so long as you give them notice. The after school teachers provide you with their personal numbers so you can text or call when you need to. This came in handy for the few times we had to change plans at the last minute. There's a separate area for the after school kids upstairs. The space is functional. They have designated areas for children to place their belongings (backpack, shoes, jacket, etc). They also have ample tables and chairs as well as games, including a TV and iPads. Every afternoon, they give the students a snack and make sure they do their homework before playing. This has been very helpful for our busy family! Once they're finished with their homework, they can play downstairs at the gym or stay upstairs, depending on the gymnastics schedule for the day. My son has been a competitive gymnast for almost 5 years. However, last year he decided he no longer wanted to continue, but still wanted to retain his skills and play on the equipment. Although he doesn't have access to all the equipment during his after school program time, he was able to use some of the equipment like trampoline, rope, etc which he really enjoyed. We have been very pleased with our experience at Fun 2B Fit!

From the perspective of a mother whose child ABSOLUTELY THRIVED and continues to be a scholar among his peers in elementary school, I can't express how excellent the care and academic RIGOR is at S&E childcare development center. My child started at 18 months and stayed until he started Kindergarten. S&E childcare development center poured into my child spiritually, emotionally, and academically. Not to brag, but my child left S&E childcare development center beyond ready for Kindergarten, to a point where he scored 1st and 2nd grade levels on reading and math during his kindergarten year. I can't tell you how many friends and family members are in awe of how articulate, intelligent, and confident my child is. All of these characteristics were instilled in him as a collaboration of the work of S&E and partnership with us at home. In reference to the waitlist, S&E childcare development center continues to have a waitlist, because once your child is in their care, you will NEVER want to leave! When I became pregnant with my second child, I notified the director while only a few months pregnant, bc there is no other choice for our family than S&E for childcare! I could go on and on about how much I truly love S&E childcare development center, but I know this review is getting long. I will end by saying, S&E childcare development center is not only an EXCEPTIONAL development center, but a safe haven for your child to be loved like family, and where you as a parent, will have complete peace of mind!

As a parent, finding the perfect child care center for our little one was a top priority, and let…read moreme tell you--choosing S&E Child Development Center has been the best decision we've ever made! It's not just a daycare; it's a magical wonderland where our child's dreams come to life every single day. From the moment we first visited, we were blown away by the warmth, love, and professionalism of the staff. The facility is immaculate, with vibrant, colorful spaces that instantly spark creativity and joy. The classroom is thoughtfully designed to meet the developmental needs of the children, filled with engaging toys, books, and learning materials that cater to their curiosity and growth. The staff at S&E Child Development Center are nothing short of extraordinary. Ms. Shana is incredibly attentive, patient, and genuinely invested in the well-being and development of the children. They've taken the time to truly understand our child unique & 'fun' personality, nurturing her strengths while gently guiding her in areas where she needs extra support. The level of communication with parents is phenomenal; we receive daily updates, photos, and videos that allow us to stay connected to our child's day-to-day experiences. The curriculum at S&E is simply outstanding. It offers a perfect balance of play and structured learning, focusing on building social skills, creativity, and a strong foundation for early academics. We've watched our child blossom under their care, coming home each day with an infectious excitement for learning. What truly sets S&E Child Development Center apart is the sense of community they foster. They regularly organize fun events, such as themed parties, which make us feel like we're part of a big, supportive family. The center's commitment to health and safety is also exceptional, with top-notch security measures and a focus on healthy eating--even though my little one was not a fan of veggies. In short, S&E Child Development Center has been everything we could have hoped for and more. It's a place where our child is not only safe and cared for but is also encouraged to explore, learn, and grow in the most loving and nurturing environment imaginable. We couldn't be happier with our choice, and we wholeheartedly recommend S&E Child Development Center to any parent looking for the very best in child care. Five stars aren't enough!
