Due to the limitations on how much you can write on Yelp reviews I couldn't previously add that a final problem we had was EACN's inability to wipe our daughter - she came home numerous days with clumpy poop stains in her underwear because they didn't go in with her! SHE'S 2! She doesn't know how to properly wipe! They simply let the kids go to the restroom unattended and don't monitor them well enough to make sure they wash their hands. We watched while there on a couple occasions as kids simply went in, shut the door for over 5 minutes and then simply came out and went back to playing (yuck!) without washing their hands. The teachers never even noticed. Also their "reading chair" in one room is the back seat out of an old pickup truck. One of the pictures recently submitted by "M.N." actually shows it with a person reading to a kid on it. They're dingy and nasty, not to mention probably dangerous on the underside since they aren't intended as actual furniture. Bonus alert - the walk from the cafeteria area to the classrooms contains an external exit that can simply be pushed open by any kid. I watched a teacher walk a class of kids from the cafeteria back to a room without turning around to watch them once. Any of those kids could have bolted down that side hallway and headed out that door and been gone for at least 5 minutes before being noticed. (There was no teacher at the back of the line.) There's no fence at this particular exit and a major street directly outside. Most facilities have a button out of reach that must be pushed to open the door. This place is seriously rinky dink and the teachers are simply OK at best. Fisher Price should be ashamed to have a place like this on it's campus. Speaking of the campus - don't try to pick up your kids between 5-5:15pm. They block the only entrance (dumb) to the campus by making it a double lane exit only. You'll get turned around at the gate if you try to enter. Why not put in a secondary "exit only" gate with spike strips to prevent entry?? How long has this place been here? What happens in an emergency (especially to kids) and you've got 200 yards of double lane traffic blocking the only entrance?

My children have attended East Aurora Community Nursery since 2007. We currently have two children…read moreenrolled. We are very pleased with the level of care our children have received the last four years. Most importantly, our children are very happy and content. They have always had excellent teachers, the entire faculty has been wonderful. EACN is located on the Fisher Price campus. There is a large, newly designed playground, an indoor gym, onsite nurse, optional gymnastics program, onsite Aspire, huge cafeteria and more. I especially like the location in a neighborhood setting, which allows for classroom walks in the Village and the babies are taken in stollers whenever weather permits. My children enjoy the lunch menu (whole wheat bread is used) and breakfast is served until 8am, and two snacks per day. My son will be starting kindergarten next year. He is well prepared and the transition to full time school will be easier for him because of the teachers at EACN and the preparation thus far. They have done a great job incorporating learning and fun! My husband is a school teacher outside of the East Aurora district. He has advanced degrees in education. We did our homework when we looked at daycare centers four years ago, and it is our findings that this facility has proven to be the best possible daycare to send our children to. We made the right decision!!

Sadly I'm putting this low review out there so other new parents aren't putting their trust and…read morefaith into a place that has terrible, unprofessional communication to parents. It all sounds good, it all looks good, you want to believe it is good, but...in this pandemic world things are just not as they once were. Staffing is clearly a problem everywhere. The solution may have to be raising the pay of the very wonderful people who work directly with the little ones. Something has to be done to incentivize people to stay here. In our case my daughter went on the waiting list for her yet to be born child 6 months before he was even here. She was taking all of her allowed leave so she wasn't going start him until 5 months old. She started on the agreed upon date and after 2 weeks they "unenrolled" him, with literally no notice, from DoodleBugs. It took a call to corporate to be told it was due to staffing. No other suggestions for where to go or what to do. Just told on a Monday that he wasn't able to be part of the infant room. I don't know how a reputable business thinks this ok. It really is a sad day when you think you can trust a place with your BABY and this is how it is handled. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. And discuss how situations like this might be handled. Because clearly doodlebugs is not run by competent, caring people who can communicate to parents.
