They are very nice to the parents, but are not truthful, babies are not well cared for despite what the daycare employees say. My baby's behavior changed after starting at this place (not for the best), and lost weight though the daycare reported normal feedings. My baby was always very tired at pick up, way more than on weekends, though the daycare reported sufficient sleep.
I looked at the "5 Reviews that are Not Recommended" in Yelp (scroll below), and 2 are disturbing and are consistent with my experience. I tried the trick from one of the reviews where I put a pen mark in a crease of my baby's diaper, then I showed up past noon for a visit and the mark was still there (they had not changed the diaper), but the daily report they gave me when I came back for pick up late afternoon said that they had changed the diaper at 10... not true.
I came another day during nap time but did not knock at tte door. The window was opened and I could hear my baby cry. I waited 15 minutes and my baby was still crying. I wanted to go in and care for my baby but had to go back to work. When I came back for pick up, the daily report they gave me mentioned the start and end time of my baby's nap, I knew that my baby had cried for at least 15 minutes during the time period their report said my baby was napping, so the report was not true again.
The feedings they reported were not true either because my baby would not have lost weight with those feedings (I showed the daily reports to my baby's pediatrician who said that these feedings were sufficient to increase weight, not lose it).
Every day they kept telling me of how great my baby was doing and all the great things my baby had done that day, but no word about all the crying during nap time nor any feeding issue. I can understand that people who base their opinion mostly on what the daycare employees tell them would say it's a good daycare because they cater to parents a lot. They should put more efforts caring for babies and being honest with parents.
I need to be able to fully trust the people who care for my baby, so I found a better child care option and my baby is doing much better.
My review is for babies, if kids are old enough to talk and tell their parents about their day, it could be a different experience, I don't know. Parents can choose to try and see for themselves. Whichever daycare parents choose, they should always make unexpected visits during day time, do some checks regularly, be in tune with their child's behavior, and not dismiss any red flag just because the daycare staff is nice to parents or their kids have friends at the daycare. Also check for small red dots on the skin which may be needle marks (this is a general comment not specific to this place) especially in the skin folds on the Achilles and other skin creases often not looked at. read more
