I interviewed about 5 area daycares in early 2015 while pregnant with my first child. The Cottage…read morestood out to me due to their extended staff retention, friendly and patient teachers, community social events, and their offerings of additional activities (karate, swim, yoga, etc). After my first child was born (because you can never predict how it will go), I ended up pushing back my start date and changing it to part time for the first month. They were very accommodating, although I'm sure it was a scramble. They have lived up to everything that was reviewed back when I was interviewing. When I had my second child, I briefly considered hiring a nanny for early morning flexibility and not having to take time off due to child sick days, but I ended up enrolling her at the Cottage because I felt so comfortable with the infant teachers and the school. We remained at the Cottage into 2018 when we moved out of the area, but experienced safe, reliable, and friendly teachers and helpers from infant, toddler, to the 2's classroom. I wouldn't say it is perfect, but the director does her best to communicate changes and any concern I've had was quickly addressed by the teachers and never had to be escalated higher. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a center based childcare.

The parking lot is quite cramped and more often than not a parent can get stuck with a car blocking them in. There are tons of other options that are much more cost effective.

I am blown away by the variety of activities the children are doing. Especially when at a very young age she would bring home little art projects. They have a weekly sports camp and the Tumblebus. My daughter has absolutely blossomed at the center and we are blown away by what she has learned at such a young age. If you are looking for quality childcare that won't break the bank take a tour! These ladies have put together a really special place.

The care he has received in the infant, toddler and now preschool classroom has been exceptional.

Her teachers always provide us with great communication. We love getting the daily reports through the Tadpoles app, and the pictures they send make our day!

She walks herself up the stairs every morning, and always has a smile for her teachers. She's made friends in class, and says their names all the time at home! Woodsedge has gone through a lot of transitions recently, but we are happier than ever. We highly recommend it to any parents in search of care for their little one.

When our child…read moreshowed signs of speech delay, Suzie, the director, proactively identified the issue and guided us toward additional support. She explained the resources available to us through early intervention and private providers, going above and beyond her responsibilities. She helped us navigate the complex process of getting the right support for our son, and her staff was always available to provide input to his providers. As first-time parents, having advocates who knew our child so well was invaluable. The daily updates through their app brought us peace of mind, and over the two and a half years our son attended, we accumulated over 3,000 photos. The transparency and communication were wonderful--we always felt informed about what was happening while our child was in their care. Suzie and the teachers never hesitated to make time for conversations, and our son was always excited to go to school to see his friends and teachers. What more could you ask for? We would not hesitate to send another child to Kiddie Time!

She stared off painfully shy, and now has a bestie who she talks about 24/7 and I am pretty sure thinks she is the president of her class room. The staff is so caring and professional but also silly and approachable - exactly what my daughter needs. They spend as much time as they can outside and celebrate birthdays and holidays with crafts. I honestly can't say enough about Kiddie Time - I highly recommend it to any parents. Miss Amanda and Miss Alandra are so special. We are also grateful to the other teachers who roate in and out to help, Ms Emily, Ms Karina, Ms Ivonne all make Charlottes day.

They have taken the COVID-19 pandemic very seriously and have added appropriate protocols to keep everyone feeling healthy and safe. The family coordinator has helped me change our schedule numerous times without even a blip. I can't recommend this center highly enough, they're just awesome.

My 4 year old Twins Ian and Sam started attending OFLC back in September. They transferred there…read morefrom another school and the changes are amazing. When they started they barely could hold a pencil right never mind write letters. Since they have been there within a month they not only can hold a pencil right but write letters (and enjoy doing so)!! They love going to this school. They especially love the science lab (we do too) and the indoor playground/gym. Unlike their previous school, this school doesn't keep the kids outside when it's too cold (30 is the cutoff) and when it is too cold or rainy they still get to spend their energy in a warm setting in their indoor playground which is the equivalent of those indoor playgrounds with safe and fun climbing structures. Another positive about this school is that the directors And teachers listen when you have a concern and make Sure it's addressed. Oh and meals are included although I tend to send my twins in with extra food because they are going through a growth spurt and are picky eaters. While this school is double what we used to pay it's absolutely worth it. My kids have flourished there and it makes going to work easier. Thank you OFLC for a job well done!
