Our family has had such a positive experience with First Fruits. We only use their before-school…read moreprogram, but it's been a huge help to our morning routine. The staff are consistently warm, welcoming, and organized -- they greet my child by name every day, which really sets a positive tone before school. The facility is always clean and calm in the mornings, and I love that they offer a structured but relaxed environment -- enough time for the kids to settle in, have a snack or some quiet play, and get ready for the day. I also appreciate their clear communication and how smoothly they handle drop-offs. Knowing my child is safe, happy, and cared for before the school day starts gives me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend First Fruits to any family looking for reliable and nurturing before-school care!

Everyone here is so welcoming and nice. They use an app so you can track when they change their…read morediapers, when and what they eat, and share any photos with you to see what your child is up to during the day. They always try to get the kids outside and play around unless it's raining, snowing, a blizzard, or it is too windy. The teachers always come up with a schedule for the day for things the kids can do. So if you need help getting your kid on a schedule or get a jump start on learning before they hit kindergarten this is the place for you. They are also a Christian daycare, so they pray before they eat. They make sure everything is washed, put away, and disinfected after kids are doing playing, taking a nap, or eating. They love to talk to the parents, interact with you, ask about your day, and just genuinely care about you. They can take baby babies all the way up to school age and even at school age you can let ur child get dropped off at the daycare and they can have fun outside or inside doing different activities. They open from 6:30 am to 6:00 pm. They are also open during the summer, so if ur working during the summer. I have really enjoyed this place, my child is only 8 months old but I have really taken a liking to this place and will stick to this place until he is ready for kindergarte.

From the owner: Childcare in Palmer Alaskaread more

A couple of years ago I never did a review and I should've. I had posted photos of my son's insane…read moreinjuries. He was only in this place for 20 hours of care spread out in 4 days I actually dropped him off and picked him. They charged me AND the state assistance program full months then half a month. The owner kerri called on unknown and harassed me over my post on Facebook. Saying it was slander but all of it was true and I ended up going to court for everything. The first day, they called me to pick him up and he was there for 6 hours. When I did, his diaper was not changed and pants soaked. He was "uncontrollably crying" and when I got there he was alone in the corner crying. It broke my heart, we were so exited for his first day. It was the day after his FIRST birthday. The second day I picked him up after an incident that I did not sign because I wanted to look at him. He was "bit on the left cheek" they said but when I got him he was bit 4 times. Clearly very bad bite marks. When I went to court, kerri had lied multiple times even about things that didn't matter. Like saying my son was always crying but the first day heather called and said he did very good no crying until after nap (when his diaper wasn't changed) They also said I called multiple times a day harassing them for money. So I went and got my call logs showing I called them twice and one was about the diaper thing! I messaged on the 9th asking to unenroll him after that and they ignored and wouldn't give me a form for it until I actually messaged enough on their platform for communication. There is so much more to this. All documented true through the court documents. So many other parents have experienced greedy conniving situations with lies. It has been a couple years but I still remember it all, please avoid the "NO REFUNDS" paper do not sign that. Make sure you're on top your game when you get into this place or just don't at all. There are many other daycares in the area.

I understand medical benefits are out of the question but at least the bear minimum they can do for their employees.
