The director lacks basic customer service skills and is very unprofessional. Children are viewed as dollar signs and not as children since the director only cares about the money. Teachers are not well trained or supported. There is a very high teacher turn-around. We had several issues regarding the safety and hygiene at this daycare. We have given this daycare many chances, but they continued to disappoint us. We only stayed, because we happened to have a great teacher who has obviously since then left - following many other teachers who chose to work at different daycares that actually care about the education and wellness of the children.

The kids are happy to go to school, they have developed strong relationships with their teachers, peers and administrative staff. My three year old comes home teaching us new songs (affirmation song, months of the year, days of the week, etc). The staff is attentive to the kiddos needs and go ABOVE AND BEYOND with their thematic weekly units with developmentally appropriate activities (sensory bin, open-ended play, show and tell, keepsake worthy arts and crafts). These are memorable learning experiences that will set the foundation for their educational career. Oh and did I mention they get to play outside because there is an outdoor space? The staff is always looking for ways to create positive learning experiences for the kids (i.e firetruck came to the center, farm animals, Halloween parade, etc.) They are also VERY receptive to feedback. We are so grateful for Children's Academy. Special shout out to: Ms. Nancy, Ms. Rebecca, Ms. Angel, Ms. Tiara, Ms. Monica, Ms. Safia, Ms. Gabbi, Ms. Lindsay, Ms. Kate, Ms. Laura for taking such great care of our babes as if they were your own.

We've had positive experiences almost everywhere we've been, but never so much help, support and consideration for working parents. The sheets, laundry on site, keeping frozen bottles and communal bibs made things sooooo much easier for this full time working mom of 3. And it was great to have a digital log of the eating and diaper changes. We hope our youngest will be able to be a drop in some day!

Donna is exceptional!! My son has been at Kids Kastle since August 2014. You don't have to be…read morearound Donna for too long to realize that she truly loves what she does. My son was already blowing her kisses after our first introduction meeting. She is always upbeat and finds creative ways to teach my son new things. Her experience comes through in the way that she teaches my son and what she teaches him. I am particularly impressed with the tools she has given him to express himself - instead of just being frustrated because he can't do something, she taught him to say "Help, please" - how appropriate! He says it all the time when he needs our help. She is very responsible and we feel so comfortable with our son in Donna's care!

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Kids Kastle!! We had been looking for a…read moredaycare provider for our son for months and months until we finally came across Kids Kastle in February 2014 when our son was just 18 months old. It was truly a BLESSING that we found Donna-she is just what we were looking for in a daycare provider. Her loving attention to the children was apparent the first day I met her, and our son took to her immediately. She is full of energy and dedication to the children and it is very obvious that she loves what she does. My son often protests when my husband or I go to pick him up after a day at Kids Kastle because he doesn't want to come home!! Our son's development really skyrocketed after he started going to Kids Kastle-talking, self-help, manners, socialization with other children, etc.-we couldn't be happier-it is very obvious that he gets loving attention and opportunities for learning all day long at Kids Kastle. My husband and I feel so at ease by knowing that our son is in a safe and positive environment and is provided with more enrichment and learning than we could have ever imagined he would recieve at a daycare. And Donna is just such a genuine, caring person and has been such a joy and pleasure to work with. Anyone who chooses Kids Kastle as a daycare provider for their child/children will not be disappointed. HUGE praise for Kids Kastle!!!!

Our son has attended The Village Pre-school & Daycare in Bethel since he was three months old. He…read moreis now almost five, and will be graduating later this summer. A good childcare provider can be defined as a safe, clean facility with plenty of learning opportunities to help your child grow and thrive. Village certainly fulfills those prerequisites. A great childcare provider does so much more--keeps your child engaged, curious, and joyful due to an amazing staff. Village also succeeds there. There has not been a single day in nearly five years that our son hasn't celebrated the fact that he's on his way to school. He literally leaps out of the car each morning and runs to the front door. The teacher turnover is extremely low, and most of his key educators from infancy to preschool remain an essential part of his daily life. We trust them implicitly to keep him safe and happy. They provide the children so many daily opportunities--from being outside on their playground (twice a day in the warmer months), to a weekly show and tell to gain confidence, silly dance parties, sensory play, ice cream truck treats in the summer, and plenty of educational crafts that extend the learning process. What other pre-school has a "bird condo" at the window where the children can keep a daily eye on visitors who fly in and out for a snack, as well as being able to witness such things as baby chicks hatching in real time? Ms. Faye in the preschool room has been a godsend, prepping our little guy for the next chapter in kindergarten and being an amazing partner to us parents as we raise him. He just had his school assessment last week and is fully prepared for the next step, in large part due to our Village family. The staff there truly cares about our little ones, and are just as excited to see them as the kids are when they arrive each day. The center itself is clean, full of necessary sensory stimulation, and super convenient with regards to its downtown Bethel location and their operational hours. They utilize a really great app to keep you updated on everything that happens during the course of the day, from bathroom/diaper usage to meals/snacks, activities, and of course, frequent photos of your child. The old adage is true, It truly DOES take a Village, and we couldn't be more enthusiastic to recommend them to other families.
