They make accommodations for every child's needs. My daughter has been going here for almost a year and I can't imagine her going anywhere else. They also are truly amazing teachers. My daughters language skills have improved tenfold since she began attending and her personality and social skills continue to grow and improve each day with the help of all of the amazing people working here. Enrolling here was one of the best decisions I've made for my daughter!

I don't have enough nice things to say. DECC has become family in lots of ways. I've had 2 kids go…read morethrough DECC and my youngest will be there for another year. They have provided a loving, trustworthy, thoughtful, and educational environment. Staff make it a point to learn about each child and create lasting relationships. It truly feels like "the neighborhood daycare/early childhood center" that so many caregivers wish for and for that, I have so much gratitude. As a parent, the last I want is to worry about my child when I drop them off. Never have I been worried about leaving my child there. Regarding the building, it's clean, safe with a security door, and a fenced play yard away from the busy street. they follow the public school curriculum. The teachers are wonderful. The director is amazing. If your child goes to DECC, you're one of the lucky ones.

The facility is very clean and wonderfully decorated. The teachers are very experienced, absolutely loving and caring and provide the best support for an happy development of our little ones. And it is not insignificant to say that the staff is very stable. It is a Montessori school and the program is excellent, allowing the kids to learn a lot from early on while playing. We do also appreciate the service that is very close to the families, communication provided by the staff and director is clear and they are genuinely interested in providing the best quality. We thought we were just a number in our previous daycare and we feel part of a family at Arc-en-Ciel!

I have had my doubts about family centers in general but tira's tiny tots put all those doubts to…read morerest. my son had been in center based childcare (primrose, the learning experience, and bright path) for 12 months and was not attended to the way I'd like, repeatedly got infections and put to sleep when fussy, after 1 week of being with Shatira my son picked up two words, stronger in his stance, happy,laughing more, no cry's at drop off and the biggest of all he's exploring trying and taking in new foods. she gives your child the care any mother would their own.

Although it was a sweet smooth process getting my son enrolled in the school and the staff was so…read morefriendly, it quickly took a turn for the worse. My son struggles with some social emotional skills in especially new environments and as a first-time parent I am still learning and navigating my new life as a mother. However, I feel that Latoya could've done a better job as a director in immediately providing me with strategics and possible solutions on the situation rather than making me feel like a failure as a parent. Not even a hour after dropping of my son, I received a rushed call to pick my son up. When I got there, I had asked Latoya if I could speak to her privately about my son to which she stated he had to be present. I disagreed because it is inappropriate and unprofessional and yet she still protested against my request until she finally gave in. Once we were in a private room, her attitude and demeanor changed to a judgmental, insensitive and unprofessional woman. I felt belittled and disrespected on so many levels because I feel like if she had a calmer, collected, empathic and understanding first initial approach with me things wouldn't have escalated the way it did. She raised her voice on multiple occasions and even raised her finger to point at me which I found offensive. She falsely accused me of justifying my son's behavior without understanding that he may have mental health disorder that prevent him from expressing his words correctly to strangers he does not yet know well . She failed to comprehend that as a mother I am my sons biggest and only advocate and was trying to understand what was going on. My encounter with her has been the worse experience ever. I am quite shocked myself because everything was so good and smooth in the beginning. Overall, I feel like the situation could've been handled better by expressing empathy, patience and professionalism with a calm and collected tone of voice. In the end, you have to be sensitive and gentle with people because you don't really know what's going on in their lives and it's not okay to belittle others. I wish she would've provided alternative solutions and other options rather than guilt tripping me. When I emailed her stating I was leaving a negative review, she quickly stated she had all this information and informative resources that will better assist me on my situation. However, I've been waiting ever since, and she continues to neglect the matter. Luckily, I found a backup plan and have a strong support system and all the resources I need. The learning Experience definitely lacks well trained staff members and could benefit more with additional training and a stronger resourceful leader who isn't riding a high horse.

I was really nervous dropping off my toddler for the first time and the director, Latoya, helped me…read moreget through the anxiety very well!!! She reassured me, first, that my feelings were normal and she allowed me the time to work through them by being able to drop in, not too often as I had to let go, and sending me photos of my little one having a great time. She is very professional, pleasant, knowledgeable, and kind. She is also quite patient, I was that parent that called a lot and she has not ever turned me away but, she listened and gave reassurance and advice where needed. I give her 100 stars!!!

From what we saw, this was due to high turnover and unsanitary conditions - Constant unhappiness - every time we came to pick up / drop off, someone would be crying. Logistical problems: - Frequent paid days off. The owner took many days off, without this being reflected in fees, and we had to take care of our son on our own. This was explained as the owner's vacation days. - No established rules or policies. There was no communication with the owner, interaction with other parents, or ways to communicate feedback. There were also many other problems - no education program, no organization, no activities to occupy the kids, but the above is a good rundown of major issues. In the end, we were unable to trust this place or Tanya, and we strongly recommend you don't bring your children here.

They take lots of pictures, so we get to see some of what she's up to. Her language and social skills have improved so much since she began attending- sure, she's a toddler, but these are leaps.

The price is okay- expensive but decent for a daycare center. The only problem with them is that they close at 5.

My 2.5 year old son has been at Barnyard since he was six months old. My nearly 7 month old daughter has been there for a month. We absolutely LOVE barnyard. So far, my son has been in the infant room, toddler 1, and toddler 2. The teachers are just that- teachers. They not only care for the physical needs of my children, but the emotional needs too. The two primary infant room teachers are incredible care takers who provide so much love and affection, as well as daily engagement. They are more than just babysitters as we experienced elsewhere. They plan activities and work on helping the kids hit their milestones. In the toddler rooms, the teachers are amazing too. They have a wonderful curriculum in place and really foster an environment of play based learning. My son has thrived so much there. Each day, he comes home talking about what he did with his toddler friends and he is always learning about new concepts and mastering new skills due to the daily activities. We actually moved my son to Barnyard after a poor experience elsewhere and were blown away by the professionalism and care we found at Barnyard. Barnyard is an extremely well loved school in town and has truly earned its wonderful reputation.
