In the infant room, a woman sat in a rocking chair while two infants did tummy time on the carpet under her. One of the children and spit up a considerable amount and no one noticed or did anything about it.

They didn't smile or engage with the kids. In the infant classroom I watched as 3 babies cried and cried and neither caregiver even looked at them. These were babies who needed something and the staff did nothing. When they did pick up a baby to feed it, they were rough and didn't try to comfort the baby at all - simply stick in the bottle. You would hope that while the baby got fed and received some personal attention that the caregiver could smile or try to talk to the baby a little. Babies need to feel loved and they certainly aren't going to get that there. Most of the caregivers I saw were very young women who seemed to not want to be there. A lot of the 'teachers' weren't there either time and they had floats filling in. The two classrooms where my child could have gone had no windows. It was just a very sad environment and I could never leave my child there.

However I feel there's a good consistency in the teachers there. They keep "floating" teachers there to a minimum, so it's almost always one of her regular teachers at pick up and drop off. There are good programs to keep the little ones busy. I believe there's a regularly schedule rotation of art and music teachers that rotate through the rooms. They also have a surprisingly robust (and newly renovated) outdoor space and playground for the various rooms. My 2 year old spends a lot of time exploring outdoors in a safe and contained space, which I think is a good thing. CCB does a good job of communicating any changes in schedule, staff and events. It's a relatively big place, but seems to well-organized. They also provide food which is a plus, since meal prepping for our little one was a big time sink and also probably less healthy. Overall I would highly recommend CCB and wouldn't hesitate to send another child there in the future.

She would frequently go out of her way to see old teachers and say hello to the friendly staff. CCB did everything they could to help our child adapt and grow while there. Any time we had questions the staff and teachers worked together to improve the situation. Besides the excellent care, the facilities and programs were excellent and never felt tired. We felt everyone there was proud to help the center be at its best. People clearly were proud to do the right thing and maintain the reputation that CCB earned over the decades.

I saw first hand the disorganization, lying, and dishonesty that was upheld there, with employees, and their care for kids was not great, although i never thankfully saw harsh or abusive behaviors, they were not sweet and loving, or seemed to have given anyone a care in the world. Children need to be loved and cared for and employees need to be treated nicely and not cheated or lied to. I dont recommend this place for your child or employment

Management does not give you straight answers and no one knows who is in charge most of the time. Things apparently are out of control and the mix of after school care for kids is horrible. You'll see 10-12 year old kids approx 120 lbs mixed in with 5 year old (maybe 40 lbs) in the same room being run over. Last summer we witnessed 5 or 6 kids being given an iPad to entertained themselves and fight over it because they do not have enough staff to care for all of them. It used to be a good center, but too many changes and too many people that do NOT have control and are putting kids at risk

The generations child care was our first nursery tour scheduled. We arrived today - and the front desk receptionist was very nice. She offered us a seat while we waited for the director, Tammy, to show. In the lobby right by the front door is the waiting room. We went to go sit and i realized the garbage can was over flowing with bugs crawling / flying all around. Instantly I was disgusted. Before our tour - i asked about price and realized they don't offer the part time care we are looking for at this location. I was secretly happy. Before we left - i told Tammy about how i am a first time mom and i am already nervous about bringing my baby to childcare and the garbage was over flowing and covered in crawling bugs. (As a fruit fly proceeded to fly past her head). I told her it skeeved me out and was a very bad first impression. Then i asked how often are the garbage changed? All she had to say was "daily" with a half smirk on her face. She didn't apologize for the fact that the facility she runs was disgusting. She didn't have any sympathy. She honestly didn't even act like she cared. First impressions are very important. And the cleanliness & Manors of the director - made me never want to let my child step foot in this place. You want me to pay you $800 a month and you can't even clean out your garbage cans??? I think not! Hope all the rest of the nurseries we look at arn't like this dump.
