Our daughter has been enrolled here since she was 6 weeks old and it was the best decision we have…read moreever made. We love the staff here as they have so much compassion and love for the kids in the center. In the infant room the teachers are very flexible and make sure the infant's day is as close to a day at home as possible. They allow you to bring in food and snacks from home once the infant is old enough for solid foods and have no problem adjusting to any meal substitutions. Our child loves coming to the center and lights up every time she sees her teachers. They incorporate age specific activities in their curriculum to further the child's growth. Education is a big part of the curriculum in all classrooms which is very important to us. The Gingerbread House was voted best daycare center in Syracuse for a reason and I would highly recommend enrolling your child(ren) here.

They would give me an update every-time I picked her up and would always let me know if she was having an off day. They would do fun crafts and always have the kids do some type of exercise or play. I liked that they had an app that we can communicate with the teachers and ask questions. They also sent pictures on the app which was nice and made my day. If I did have any concerns the director was so nice and accommodating. I highly recommend this daycare to everyone! The only reason we had to switch was due to school district. But we loved it here!

Pretty certain the other reviewer is confusing this daycare with one in DC or VA…read more The Growing Place in Syracuse is full of dedicated, trained professionals who have, on average, been there for 8+ years. There were, to my memory, zero firings in 2017. I can only say the best things about this daycare, where my 4 year old has been going since she was 6 months old. It's not a homogeneous group of kids but they do generally come from white collar families. The teachers have done a really good job of supporting education (my daughter could write her name when she turned 3) and social graces & behavior, including our efforts at potty training.

Our daughter loves checking if it is a school day and looks forward to her time with them. We are so very thankful to have TGP be a part of our lives!

I remember when we visited the school the teachers asked what we wanted to the school to do for our child! The curriculum is unique and developed for the child and the child's needs. There is no cookie-cutter approach to learning at the New School! The teacher's teach in a true hands on way. If you're looking for an alternative to public school and the "no child left behind' approach. Check out this school. Give your child the sort of educational start that will keep them growing and going throughout their lives.

We had a terrible experience at this daycare. The director lacks professionalism and any level of…read morebusiness acumen. The child/teacher ratio is extremely skewed during evening pick up, and it is obvious the few teachers present during that time are overwhelmed with the number of children they are responsible for. The children (of varying age groups) are herded together in either in one room during the winter or inclement weather, or out on the playground during nicer weather. There were several occasions when I picked my child up without the teachers noticing me there, and certainly no acknowledgement whatsoever of my presence. It's important to note that this facility is located within the Salina Town Hall, and criminal court takes place once or twice a week starting around 5pm. While on the playground during pickup, children are exposed to the inmates coming in from the county jail for their court appearances. Needless to say, our child is no longer in attendance.
