My daughter was enrolled at new gulph for a bit over one year. We chose new gulph because I went…read morethere as a child and we had very high hopes. Reality set in after a few months when we realized our expectations were nowhere near reality. Without getting into the details, we were very disappointed in the quality of the care our daughter received. I'm not surprised the daycare has since closed.

We've had our daughter here for 9 months now and have not looked back. She's been previously…read moreenrolled in other 'corporate' daycares in the area and the difference is just tremendous. The teachers alone have been employed there for for decades and every time I walk in there, they're actively engaged with the children. Food is provided so we literally drop our kids off in the morning with no preparation needed and pick them up in the afternoon. My life is sooo much simpler! The parents at this school are actively involved in the running of this facility so you know they care. There is just no question in my mind whether or not I've placed my child in the best environment in the area.

Our son has been a student at House at Pooh Corner for a year now and I can say that this is a…read morespecial school. There are many things I like about this school--the love and patience shown by the teachers, the intentional community-building, the inclusive atmosphere--but what really sets it apart to me is thought and care that goes into the design of the educational experience. I am a teacher, and I think a lot about how an educator's vision affects how students learn. My experience has been that many daycare centers either lack any educational vision at all, or else teach a "canned" curriculum devised by an institution outside the school. Not so at Pooh Corner. The educational director works with the teachers to develop a curriculum that is appropriate for THESE SPECIFIC KIDS and reflects their interests. They do special projects based on whatever the kids are excited about--my son's class did a project on shoes, and then another on "gravity" (things going up and falling down). The kids get exposure to lots of different kinds of learning experiences. They have a weekly science class that involves gardening, composting, and bugs. This is not just "experiential" science either--they collect data on their plants (I don't think they call it that, but that's what it is) and compare the ones growing inside and outside! There are options like Spanish class and dance class as well. This is all in the context of lots of free play with a great outdoor playspace, as well as time for physical skills, reading, letters, and numbers. However even the letters and numbers are incorporated thoughtfully into the things that the kids are interested in. The school works as a team with families on big changes like potty training--it made it so easy for us, I think he went from diapers to underpants in two days. They also encourage kids to do as much as possible by themselves, which helps them to be independent.

After a very disappointing experience at another daycare, I can confidently say that House at Pooh…read moreCorner is everything you want and can expect from a daycare. We send our current toddler there, and we plan to send our future infant there as well. (And we plan to have them grow through each class within the center.) The daycare is well staffed and has floating staff, so each room is always equipped with the minimum (often more than) number staff required for each age group. This helps the staff morale, as it seems that no one is over or underworked. The staff is friendly, knowledgable and truly cares about the children and the community. And many staff members have been there for many years (some are former students of Pooh Corner). Notable Pros: -Staff members are ALWAYS "on the floor". They are never sitting in a chair and on cell phones (unfortunately, many other daycares accept this). Staff are actively involved and playing with and teaching the children. -Lesson plans are sent through email weekly. Other emails are sent with pictures of events and other things that the community is involved in. -There is a strong community mentality. Pooh Corner is a welcoming community with many volunteer events, art shows, and social events (at the center and at parents' homes). -Everybody knows everyone else. Because of the movement of staff floaters and the community mentality, everyone knows my wife, my daughter and me, when I walk in (from the director, to the pre-school teachers, to all of my daughter's teachers in the toddler room). This truly makes me feel like my daughter is in safe and caring hands. -Outdoor play everyday (weather permitting). They have a wonderful playground and do things like water play in the summer. -They have a focus on sustainable practices and organic materials. They welcome cloth diapers provide organic sunscreen and bug spray during the spring/summer.

We wanted to love Beanstalk, but unfortunately our experience has been extremely frustrating,…read moreprimarily due to reliability and communication issues. Since our twins started about ten months ago, the center has had repeated closures due to building-related problems. In that time there have been closures related to water line issues, air conditioning failures, heating problems, and most recently a gas line issue. In 2026 alone, the center has already closed eight scheduled daycare days. For working parents, daycare isn't optional. When the center closes unexpectedly this often, it creates a huge disruption and forces families to scramble for childcare or take time off work. Communication has also been a major problem. Updates are often inconsistent or unclear, and different administrators sometimes provide conflicting information. In one case, parents were told the school would be closed for a field trip. Later that decision changed, but instead of sending a clear update to all families, some parents were contacted individually while others were not. Because we never received the update, I took PTO from work unnecessarily. To be clear, the teachers themselves are kind and caring, and we appreciate the work they do with the kids. Our frustration is with the management and the building-related issues that continue to disrupt families. When you're paying thousands of dollars per month for childcare, you expect consistent operations and clear communication. Unfortunately, that has not been our experience here.

They have a very strong curriculum which includes music classes, Head Start Sports, and computer classes. Weekly lesson plans are emailed to the parents keeping us well informed! The atmosphere is very loving and nurturing. The administration and staff are very professional and friendly, and the facility is neat and clean. The outside play ground is fabulous and quite large! There are many staff members who have been on staff for over 10 years, which to me, speaks for itself! The center has an open door policy for parents, and parents are encouraged to take advantage of this policy. Parents are also encouraged to sign up to come in during the day and participate in their child's classroom activities, such as reading a book to the class. I can not say enough good things about this center and the center's program and would highly recommend Christ Lutheran Child Care Center to anyone who is looking for somewhere to send their child (6 weeks-pre-K)!

A local institution…read more P.I.C. has conscientiously built up the quality of the service it provides families in the area, encouraging the development of professional child care staff and offering a working model to many other child care providers. Parent participation in the workings of the program is considered essential, which won't fit with the expectations of those who would just drop their kids off in the morning and pick them up at the end of the day. For those who are comfortable with this 'cooperative' approach, it helps the children absorb the lessons of work-play-learning integrity.

Full blown day care was out of the question since we're already dropping dime for our Au Pair. A number of inside parks are on the pricier side, and further away. But the Parent Infant Center, also known as PIC, is close to us and very affordable. If you buy a 5 pack, it's $5 per visit. There are toys, lots of other kids, and they even provide snack time. They usually do some group songs and offer other activities. If you are up for helping, which is a super easy gig, you show up at 9am and help set up. Breaking down is even easier and typically happens while you would be there anyway. In exchange, they don't ask you to pay for that visit and give you three more free visits. Not too shabby. The crew is very nice and this is a great option for kids to interact without footing the bill for full blown daycare.
