The most expensive glorified daycare there is with both owner and director having no child skills…read moreand no desire to even be around children or wanting anything to do with parents. There's zero communication no matter how hard you try unless you count passive aggressive e-mails days to weeks later. Sure you get a few photos during the day but try getting a hold of anyone and the phone just rings, or you never get a phone call or e-mail back. Teachers seem inexperienced to actually teach anything worthwhile, pre-k and k are run like a daycare just with tables labeled "art", "snacks" and so forth. Their scapegoat is to say they emphasize "learning through play" so they don't have to put in the effort. $1000 month for HALF days but nothing to show for this insane amount of tuition besides other kids families bringing in goody bags or snacks. They make you fill out novels of paperwork beforehand but don't even read the documents they make you turn in! Your child has a food allergy? They ignore it and give your child that food. My kiddo comes home saying they had a stomachache and told the teacher they felt sick, but you get no report or phone call?! - just to find out with questioning your child that they're feeding your kiddo their allergen!! The next day they sent him home WITH his allergen food AFTER I called and asked why he was eating said allergen and the teacher called me saying " I didn't see that but I'm looking at it now" say what?!! To add insult to injury they make you give 30 days paid notice to unenroll and then you finally get communication FAST from their see you aunt tee director demanding payment, daily kind you.. demanding it daily. Please research and read other reviews that say exactly this about this disgraceful "school". I wish I had and saved 2k.

The classes don't have any clutter that poses falling hazards for toddlers and babies. They don't have any cameras, but they have an app that they upload every single food, entry change of diapers and nap-this keeps you involved in what's going on. They also upload pictures of every day activities. The teachers really care about the well-being of the children. At the beginning of our little one's attendance - the teacher sent a message that our baby was being extra sensitive that day, not his best day, and we were happy to go get him. (He was sick and feeling icky). We also like how caring the management team is - and how involved they are with day to day activities. We are happy to have found a spot for our baby at this organization. Highly recommended.

My 20 month old daughter, who only attends 3 days a week, loves it so much that if we take her when we are only dropping off her brother, she gets very upset that she isn't staying too.

I came to Ms Darlene's because I was looking for a child care place for my daughter. I have to say…read morethat I was extremely impressed. The place is extremely spacious, giving children lots of room to play; and the layout is unique and refreshing. When I came the teachers were warm and attentive and extremely friendly. I felt at ease as soon as I walked in. I do have to say that I am shocked by the negative review by Amanda O. On here. I was shown around and saw the playpens folded up and neatly tucked away; Mats for nap time were all organized in a closet, and toys were in toy boxes. I did not see any toys in cribs. I'd also like to point out that given how many children and toys there are, the place was impressively neat and organized. As for the baby room, I thought it was a great set up! It's its own separate room; confined and set up so the person in there can be attentive to all babies. The only reason we did not go with Ms Darlene's was merely because of distance. Even though we were unable to attend I highly recommend Ms Darlene's!

We loved TLT! Unfortunately, we had to pull our kids out at the beginning of the pandemic because I…read moream high risk but our two kids (2yo & 3yo at the time) LOVED it here! They do great activities with the kids and all of their employees are wonderful. It's unfortunate that someone gave a 1 star review just because of the fact that TLT charged a fee during Covid. They send out a very honest explanation and at the time were not being offered any special help /programs from the government as other businesses were. They were faced with a very difficult decision and instead of shutting down their doors and leaving tons of parents scrambling, they stayed opened and very transparent of their decision to charge. I was not thrilled about paying either but to me it was worth it and they really didn't have any other options. As far as the other woman that posted a bad review. It sounds like you're not going to be a "good fit" anywhere. If your child requires alone time, that's going to involve another staff member to supervise this child so that he/she can be alone. Not to mention a free space to do this in. Sounds like you should consider an at home nanny service instead of expecting a daycare to conform to your very specific, high level needs. I looked at her profile and she's given 1-2 stars to 4 other area day cares. At some point, you've got stop and think, "maybe it's not them....maybe it's me" I find the need to point this out because I don't think it's fair to TLT or inquiring parents looking at the ratings to base your decisions off two reviews that really aren't relavent to how wonderful this place truly is. Bottom line, our kids loved it here. The staff is incredibly generous and truly cared for our children. I've never felt more comfortable leaving my kids with anyone else than I have here so THANK YOU ALL!!

We've been taking our son to WCLC since he was only 3 months old (he's 3 now).  Initially there was…read moresome concern with communication from the center director at the time.  Within a few months that person had moved on and Ms. Haley had taken over as the director.  Since that time I could not be more impressed with the care that our son has received.  Ms. Haley was able to bring in amazing new teachers and assistants and they have all worked together to create a caring and educational environment that has allowed our son to thrive.  We get daily updates and pictures through the app that the center uses which greatly appreciated.  Another added bonus, that our son absolutely loves, is the occasional trip to the farm that is only a short walking distance from the center.  Every one of the teachers and assistants at the center has treated my son as if he was part of their family.  He loves them all and I take great comfort in knowing how much he enjoys his time there.  If you're looking for a new child care facility I can't recommend WCLC enough.  We've had opportunities to switch to facilities closer to our home and it has been the easiest decision to keep our son at WCLC.
