I RECOMMEND THIS DAYCARE!!…read more Out of all the childcare places I observed around this area and VT I would say this one is the best one out here is my reasoning: it's very clean!! The toys are up to date. the teachers don't only just watch your kids they bond with them, they teach them, they interact with them, they build an actual relationship with the kiddos I've seen the teachers build connections with the parents and as a parent I'm so glad they do because like I wanna know who watching my kid. I've never been at a work place that cares so much about each other and treats each other like family. I love every single classroom in there but I'll love to give some shout outs chels, lily and kat in the sprouts . I just wanted to thank you guys for being so gentle with the baby's and actually like wanting them to grow, and I THANK you guys for not letting the baby's cry or (cry it out) it's a big no for me and I just thank you guys for that and even having a genuine bond with the baby's and caring so much for them and thank you chels for having good communication with the parents as someone with a first born I had bad anxiety and I thank you for reassuring me I also thank you guys for knowing what each and very baby needs because there's a lot of baby's in there and I appreciate you guys for taking that time to know each baby and thank yall for sanitizing and wiping down everything and actually following the rules this goes for all classrooms too something I've observed this vs other childcare places is that this childcare place actually follows the policy/rules they are very strict on that and I appreciate that so much as a parent. I didn't know much of the girls in the lady bug room but I'll like to give a shoutout to Stef that works in the room and she's so amazing with the kiddos again having a genuine communication with the parents again she teaches the kids not only just watching them!! (I've seen so many childcare places that just watches the kids and not teach them) she has so many fun activities in the room and another thing she doesn't yell at the kids out of every childcare place I appreciate this one for redirecting the kids and not yelling at them thank you. Shout out to Lindsay the lunch lady there I appreciate her for always being so kind and making sure the kids and staff have full belly's, cooking and preparing meals is a lot something I could never do props to her, lastly I'll like to shout out to amber in grizzlys she's so caring and so kind she's so observant with every kid and I love how she can point at each student and tell me things she loves about each of them she's so good at activities there, let's the kids have fun, let's the kids be goofy, she redirects the kids instead of don't do this don't do that and I just see a lot of how I wanna teach in her. So if you are looking for a good childcare center for your kid CCUV is the way to go.

If you're looking for a glorified baby sitting service, with teachers who prefer gossip over doing…read moretheir job of teaching and a woman who tracks you down like a criminal if you have paid your daycare bill a week in advance--- this is this place for you. You won't catch teachers on the ground playing trucks or building puzzles. The bar is set low and any new teachers who come in ready to be great teachers are either pushed out or bring their standards down. I've never seen a daycare filled with people so uninterested in children! This daycare will always have openings, which is tempting when you are in need of childcare. But most daycares that are desirable usually are full and have wait lists.... oh and the bullying that's allowed to happen is sickening. Certain parents and therefor children are favored over others. It's quite noticeable too.

A baby mill. No planning, structure, and consistency. It is a daycare, not a pre-school. My…read moredaughter has been attending RSG for five months now going on six months, and as of recent, she's only still attending due to the fact of lack of child care resources in the area. She is in the Pre-K class, aged 4-5. She has brought home a whopping two class assignments. TWO. In six months. The teacher's don't put an effort in, it's just a paycheck for them, and the owner "Shani" cares more about his money than the purpose of his business. My daughter attended a preschool out of state for four years that was beyond better than here. The place is a madhouse every day with no plans and structure and consistency for the children. Simply a baby mill. Don't waste your money.

My daughter had the exact experience as the review from Taylor. She was told she was a danger to…read morethe class and was dismissed from the childcare facility if you can even call it that. They singled her out and tried to tell me she dI'd not have ADHD because "she (audrey) has kids with adhd and they don't act like this". She was diagnosed with this by a psychiatrist. I asked on many occasions for the staff and director/ owner Audrey to meet with riverbend to make a plan on how to move forward with my daughter's behavior. Audrey would switch the conversation and state "she didn't want to stress me out". They left my daughter with her husband at the front entrance on her last day which made me incridably uncomfortable. Audrey also told me just as Taylor was told that "no other children behave like mine does." Weird Audrey, since another child was told the exact same thing. They told me that she could no longer go to the childcare center through a mere text. Her other daycare which we returned to despite the distance from my new job is helping return my bubbly 4 year to who she was prior to going here. My daughter never acted this way prior to going here. I worry about what happened her there since she is too young to be able to tell me. Most of her behavior is typical for a 4 year old. Even riverbend community mental health confirmed this for me. They hire young kids who do nothing but sit on their phones all day. I walked in on staff doing their makeup despite children being in the building already. I witnessed children in the halls unattended. When my daughter returned to her old daycare the staff and children cheered to see her again. When she left they sent her a box stuffed with gifts as a goodbye gift. her therpist tells me she's a "treasure of a young girl". They tack on an extra charge for those on state assistance which our current/old daycare never did. I asked Audrey many times what the cost of care would be and she told me the same as the other childcare since i had assistance. this was not true. And I didn't find out until afterwards despite basically begging for transparency as a single mom of two.

This school is absolutely terrible for childhood growth and development, especially for those…read morelittle ones who may have a disability. They've done nothing but single out my child, and called me on multiple occasions "Your child is a DANGER, I cannot keep anyone safe!" Meanwhile, he's four with Asperger's syndrome. They kicked out my son with a mere text message, without any kind of professional setting. When I went to go pick up my child's belonging all his art was completely soaked because they haphazardly placed an OPEN water bottle that was full. This seemed to have gotten worse when my husband and I immediately noticed an illegal transaction that was manually processed, for 430 dollars. We addressed this issue with them and it took a MONTH of blatant lack of accountability for their actions, to get any sort of refund. Since that, it seemed like they targeted my child. Jay/James/Jim Moran, the several different aliases that he's presented has a hefty criminal background (theft), knowing this doesn't surprise me now that I've done some research, that that money was illegally taken from our account. Audrey the owner also told my husband that my son "No one acts like your child in all of NH!" If this is how hostile this woman is towards mere 4-year-old shows how's the lack of integrity, and human decency, that she displays as an example to not only the children but the staff. I'm happy to bring this closing with positivity, my son is now being enrolled with an accredited school that specializes in childhood development, and one that has a disability. If you LOVE your child, do not make the mistake I did and bring your child here. I guarantee it'll only get damaged and a very upset child. Best regards

We took her out immediately and her behavior improved over time. Obviously there's no way for us to know exactly what it's like there when we're not around but we trust our kid's reaction. I definitely wouldn't recommend this place. As another reviewer said, there are many other day care options in the area.

Sending your 15 week old to daycare to join the workforce again is heartbreaking enough but this situation was unimaginable. My child attended for less than two months, and I still carry immense guilt for ever enrolling them here. What I personally experienced has left a lasting impact on me as a parent. I did not feel my child was in a clean, safe, or nurturing environment before I decided to terminate enrollment. In my opinion, no parent should have to endure the kind of worry, stress, and regret that I did. What made the situation even worse was the response from management and ownership. In my experience, communication was evasive, accountability was nonexistent, and the level of dishonesty I encountered was truly unbelievable. Rather than taking responsibility or addressing concerns with care, I felt dismissed, misled, and outright gaslit. This experience has shaken my faith in childcare entirely. I now struggle with the idea of trusting any facility again. That alone should speak volumes. From one parent to another: I urge you to do your research, trust your instincts, and protect your child. Speaking only from my own experience--this is not a place I would ever consider again, under any circumstances.
