This center has it all. It has a staff of teachers with 15-17 years of experience. You can't find…read moremany places that have teachers that make early childhood their career. In the past 2 years I have had nothing but positive experiences with my chil'ds teachers. They have been professional and knowledgable about different stages my child has gone through. They communicate well and offer a great program that challenges my child while letting her have fun. The center also has extra curriculuar programs my child participates in, allowing us to have more family time together at the end of the day instead of running here and there. The office staff is approachable and helpful. They both hold Masters degress in Education. The best thing about the center is that you feel comfortable the minute you walk in the door. It's a small, cozy setting that makes you feel like your child would be very safe. Many families get to know eachother and keep all of their children at the center for many years. Everyone is friendly and the children seem very happy and well rounded. I wouldn't dream of taking my child any where else.

As older parents of an only child, we thoroughly looked at EVERY (and I'm not exaggerating!)…read moredaycare option in the I-88 corridor area. Initially, we signed up with a flashier competitor within the same top-tier standards, but at the last moment before our infant daughter was set to start there, a mothers-instinct kicked in and I switched facilities at the last moment. Two-and-a-half years later, I have no regrets at that last-minute change. My intuition served me right. The smaller, more personalized, and nurturing care of this facility was completely right for us. Our daughter thrived from the careful attention of a long-term, experienced staff (infant room teachers who had over 15 years of experience in THIS center) who treated my child just like their own ... inside and outside of the classroom. Staff worked WITH us in addressing all our concerns educationally and also with help in parenting tips as well. As our child progressed from the infant room to the toddler room, the caring continued with experienced teachers and a vast array of new opportunities including a curricula adaptable to the children's needs yet supported by a stellar national standard which includes whole learning including science, math, reading, creative play, and even basic word-instruction in Spanis. Being in an office building, the facility seems much more homey than some of the instituionalized day-care centers. The playground isn't a concrete space, but set in a tree-shaded park with designated age-appropriate areas for each group of students. My daughter gets to play in the grass, pick leaves and flowers, help in a garden, play in a sandbox, ride trikes, and so much more in a real outdoor setting. it's wonderful. In addition because of Bright Horizons is part of a larger company, the center has support staff that comes in to the center to teach music and even art in a designated work space. The school has smart boards and computers in the rooms and even has an indoor "Movement Matters" room with ballet bars, mirrors, yoga mats, a climbing wall that is used daily to motivate children in various kinds of physical activity. Even the food here is a step up from most other "day-cares." With an emphasis on healthy eating, an wide variety of fruits and veggies are offered, whole grains are standard, and unhealthy filler juices are replaced with water & milk; homecooked meals and snacks are presented in so many ways with ethnic & comfort styles that my daughter has been expanded her eating habits from most schools traditional nuggets, corn nibbles, pizza, applejuice, and tater-tots! I really can't say enough about this school (not just a day-care). My daughter is academically challenged and ahead of her peers in other institutions, she is socially & environmentally adept ... and is a WELL-ADUSTED and HAPPY little girl who has found the balance of play with forward-thinking learning. She is loved at Bright Horizons and she (and we) love it back. Truly a wonderful place.

I feel I needed to leave a review for this place because I still feel Angry about the experience we…read morehad. We were referred to this place from a friend who also had kids there, and assumed Our first time with a daycare will go smoothly. I DO NOT recommend taking Your child here. The first day (and only day) we dropped off our 13 month old there, we were told that he did not sleep, and had a fever...AFTER his mother had picked him up. We noticed that he had a bruise on his head as well, and only after pressing them for more information they told us that he was banging his head on the crib. Few things to point out- In their own policies, if the child gets hurt in anyway they will contact the parents. My gf was told when she picked him up. The pictures they send throughout the day shows that he got the bruise HOURS before she showed up. Next is the fact that he developed a fever and they STILL did not notify us until he was picked up. And finally, after probing them for the policy violations they committed they admitted that it was a mistake on their part and they should have notified us IMMEDIATELY. I cannot convey my anger enough in this review because after we took him home so he could finally sleep and tend to his fever, he had a fibril seizure and was transported to the hospital. He was at Kindercare for 6 hours...and everything I was worried about having random people taking care of my child was validated. So to sum it all up, on the FIRST DAY our child: -could not be put to sleep -was neglected long enough for him to bang his head against a crib to develop a bruise on his head -developed a fever which the parents were not told until he was picked up. Like I said they admitted they did not follow their own policy so we received a full refund for the week, because we were NEVER coming back. On a side note he is doing better at a different daycare, obviously better taken care of than at this place. So if you're looking for a place for your infant, like another reviewer said on here DO NOT CHOOSE THIS PLACE.

The genuine care they showed to our kids (and our whole family, honestly) for the past four years has been extraordinary. My kids were happy to walk through those doors every single day. We were always greeted by smiling staff members. The kids learned so much from the curriculum they used. The teachers made everything so fun! (Ms. Pam, our kids were talking about your St Patrick's shenanigans JUST today- you created memories they'll never forget). We took advantage of the phonics enrichment they offered (Ms. Alison, we love you!) All kids also received some Spanish curriculum, too! We received pictures, notes, and updates daily through their app. The directors, Ms. Rachna and Ms. Alyssa, are simply wonderful. They work so hard to make the center a true community, and we enjoyed all the daycare parties they hosted outside of normal hours to allow families to connect and socialize. Our kids were safe, well-fed (thank you, Ms. Jackie!), loved, and engaged every day. Leaving this place for elementary school was genuinely so difficult because of the relationships we built here. If you're looking for a "home" for your littles, do not overlook this exceptional place.

He started full time in June and loves it so much he never wants to leave when I come to pick him up LOL. I looked at MANY daycare's before I chose this one. I love that the kids play outside often and had a great outdoor play area. I also loved how they have an indoor motor skills room for rainy or cold days. They are always doing activities with the kids and my son has already learned so much! He already can recognize colors, attempts to count and sing his ABC's. The teachers are all wonderful I have never had a bad experience with any of them. I feel totally comfortable leaving my child here and my next son coming Nov. will be coming here as well.

I parked my car and I took my son in my arms. he hugged me and cried a lot. I began to examine him and saw bruises on my hands. I returned to the kindergarten to find out what happened, but Ms. Myra said that my son did not share the toy with another child, there was no physical contact. Miss Sylvia suggested looking at the cameras the next time we arrived at school. my son went 3 times a week. we went home, but the son cried heavily all evening. in the morning I bathed him and saw purple traces of nails under his arms. I immediately went to school to watch the cameras and what I saw during lunch was outraged. my son was youngest one in group. He doesn't understand how to move a chair anD sit. he stands on a chair and slide on sit. Miss Rachel didn't like it and hardly pulled his hand where bruised bruises. 3 times. Why she didn't helped him? Why she doesn't showed him how to sit. He is a baby. Then she was distracted by other children and my son was able to sit down to eat. All the time when I picked him he was hungry. After she dragged David by the hand to the cabinet with snacks, he did not have time to move his legs. and from the closet she pulled him by the armpit where there were scratches. this person should not work with children. it is dangerous for children. I saw how she hardly was hold for hand other boy as well. I don't know what was in other days. As well first week nobody washed a hands for my son after lunch and nobody changed his dirty dress. I picked up my son so dirty . After complaints, the teachers began to change the child's clothes, but not after lunch, but after sleeping before my arrival. Miss Silvia said me before sighted of contract that they have cooker and he can cook for my son vegan food. But after signing contract miss Silvia said that they can't cook for my son , and I have to bring a food in some days. As well I brought my snacks, because they doesn't offered me own snack without dairy and eggs. When I asked about organic , miss Silvia said that they doesn't provide organic food for other mom she said that all food is organic, and for one more mom she said that they have half organic food. Where is the truth? And after accident with miss Rachel I didn't trust them my kid anymore and I asked about to return my money. Miss Silvia left to Texas and when I tried to contact with her she ignored my calls, my email and text massages till I went to police . After that they sent my money back.

He and his classmates always seem to be having such a fun time, the teachers and staff are so warm and engaging and super friendly. The meals and snacks that are provided are a combination of healthy and balanced, however serving it to toddlers, one has to dress it up as kid friendly food. Toddlers aren't foodies and the staff are not gourmet chefs, but the food is healthy and tasty and more importantly the kids like it and EAT it. When I babysit my grandson, he actually doesn't sit and eat, he grazes will only eat a hot dog, ( or at least only a few bites of it) or mac and cheese and will only take 2 bites and be full. At Hometown however the teacher tells me that he eats all of his food and usually asks for more! The PreK program he is in provides him with all the learning he needs and is very structured. All the kids seem to really enjoy each other and the classroom. The teachers and staff are safety conscience and truly seem to enjoy being there as do the kids. I only wish I could have given my children at the time a day care as awesome as Hometown. Back in the day, my children went to daycare that was average, today's kids are lucky and even luckier if they go to Hometown.

Well I will start with this place has obviously gone downhill since 2019 - 2021. My review of this…read morechildcare and workplace is certainly not amazing. Quite the opposite actually. The director and staff at COA in Oswego are so unprofessional on many levels. I am going to start by saying my son (who happens to have mild Autism) was hired as a Teaching Assistant. This was told to them on his resume, as well as discussed at the interview. He was hired at COA about 6 months ago. Since being hired, he has been picked on, made to do work that other TA's are not made to do ( ex. clean all floors and toys in all classrooms). Written up for incidents that were embellished by other staff as a means to get him in trouble. Treated with disrespect and now after today called a racist because of a mis-pronunciation of a last name. His own family is comprised of 4 different races. He doesn't have a mean or racist bone in his body. My son, even through all of this, has continued to show up and work every day. He has taken the 10:30 am lunch even when he got to work at 9 am and others have been working since 6 am. He never complained about this unfair treatment due to feeling like he could lose his job all the time. It was evident in his anxiety that he felt left out and not supported at all. He recently had his hours cut, supposedly due to lack of enrollment. Although the center hired 4 new staff since he was hired and he was the staff with hours cut to 15 hours a week. They have treated him like he wouldn't know better and continuously pick on him. They expected him to be alone in a classroom, and because he spoke up and said he wasn't comfortable with this, his hours were cut. What a sad and unfortunate work experience for a young man who just felt he would like to work with young children. As he comes from a family who fostered other children throughout his life. He has had experience working and caring for kids quite a bit, just not in the daycare setting. As his Mom, I really felt this would be a great opportunity for him. How sad of COA to treat someone who is "different " with such disrespect that he no longer wants to work in an environment like that. I doubt you would want your children attending a place that treats their employees this way either. I know I wouldn't. If I thought my son could have written this himself, I would have him do so. His disabilities don't define him. His heart does. We will move on from here, but not without speaking our TRUTH.

Messed up priorities. Shame on you. When I talked the director she just tried to cover her butt. Blamed my daughter for her fall when the teachers let her climb onto a table and fall to the concrete below. A teacher at the school told us that the director has a rule that if a child gets themselves into a situation like that they need to get themselves out of it. She's THREE YEAR OLDS. They didn't report every biting incident until we forced them to document it. Then she also lied saying the boy was removed from school. That is a LIE. He has reduced hours but he is still there.
