Finding a place for daycare is hard enough. But even harder to find providers that truly care about…read morethe development and well being of each child is even harder. Thankfully I've found both with Ms. Moore and Learn Play & Sprout! My child started as an infant, and I've been able to observe him surpass his developmental milestones all while developing a love of learning. Assistance with transitions (i.e. solid foods, potty training, etc.), is provided and feedback is given on progress. An app is used for communication and updates. The Sprouts have a daily schedule that includes age appropriate individual and group learning activities (curriculum covers all subjects and experiments are so innovative), daily reading, meals and snacks, naps, and play time (inside and outside). Additionally, the Sprouts take field trips, have guests like police officers and firemen for fire safety training, and sport/health instructors. The value is truly well beyond the reasonably priced rates. It's worth noting that the older Sprouts are expected to wear a uniformed shirt, and arrive before daily instruction begins. All staff members are caring and compassionate, and provide great service. Overall we've had an excellent experience and highly recommend!

This year, he is in the big house...so to speak. Annie's is great with communication, they send newsletters, let us know what the baby needs if his supplies are running low, if he did anything naughty, etc. They do some crafts, play outside, and have a ton of staff to keep an eye on them. I like the fact that they send us text message pictures almost daily of the kid doing something. When I pick em up, they tell me what he ate, how long he napped, and whatever else I want to know. They even held out spot all summer since my wife is a teacher and is home to watch him. Didn't cost us anything!! I think they are doing away with that soon though. Times are tough. Really like the place.

Met with the owner, Ann, as well as the teacher for the 3 year old class to do a walk through and…read morediscuss enrolling our son. Gave them advance notice that our son has autism and needed a smaller class than the daycare he was currently enrolled in. We also mentioned that our son was enrolled in the Infants and Toddlers program and would have speech and occupational therapists, as well as his psychologist making weekly visits for his therapy on site. They seemed to listen and take everything in stride, and said it would be no problem and they'd be glad to work with him. We enrolled him and he began this past Monday. My wife took the day off and stayed with our son for a few hours to make sure he was okay with his new surroundings. He began playing with toys and seemed happy, so she left him there for the day. When she returned to pick him up later that day, the owner, Ann caught my wife outside and immediately told her that our son had a "bad day". She asked what happened, and Ann sent her in to see the teacher. The teacher told my wife that our son wouldn't take a nap, and that he wouldn't sit in the group for circle time. My son is non-verbal, and cannot sit still for long, but he is also a 3 year old boy in a brand new environment, with all new stimuli around him, so that's not that out of the ordinary that he wouldn't take a nap or wouldn't sit for circle time for the first day or two he's there. Our son seemed in a good mood when my wife got there, so we marked it up to first day growing pains. My wife called our son's speech therapist and explained what happened that day, and the speech therapist said she would come the next day to meet with the staff and owner to show them how to work with our son. The next day the speech therapist went to the daycare and worked for several hours with the owner and staff of Annie's Ark and according to her report, they seemed very receptive to her ideas and willing to work with our son's delays. Our son again seemed happy, and the staff told her that our son even took a nap on this day when my wife picked him up from daycare later that day, so we assumed all went well. That evening the psychologist sent an email and said that she'd be going to the daycare the next day to work with the owner and staff to teach them how to work with our son. We received a voicemail from the psychologist the next day (Wednesday) saying that she'd met with our son, the owner and staff of Annie's Ark and she felt that he would do very well there, and that the staff seemed genuinely interested in working with her to help our son flourish in their environment. Shortly after we received that voicemail I received a call from Ann, the owner. She started off the conversation by saying that she doesn't think our son being there is going to work. I asked what happened. She told me that she just doesn't feel he is a good fit, and that he doesn't listen when it's time to get into the circle for circle time, and that he also hadn't taken a nap that day. She also said he was a disruption to the other students during circle time because he chooses to play with toys instead and he doesn't respond to them when they ask him to come to the circle. I mentioned again that our son has autism and those are some of the results of his condition, and that we went over this when we interviewed with her for his enrollment. She said that she didn't understand what it meant when we told her he was autistic, and that she couldn't deal with it. She then complained to me that she had to take our son into her office with her and close the door because the teacher "needed a break from him", and now she can't get any work done because she had to watch him. I told her that I certainly wasn't going to debate to keep my son somewhere he's not wanted, and told her I'd leave work immediately to come and pick him up. She said that he could stay until the end of that day with her but we'd need to find somewhere else for him to go after that. Given Ann's tone and what was said to me, I felt it best we went to get him right away. My wife left her work and went and picked our son up from Annie's Ark. When she got there, Ann brought our son out of her office and tried to discuss it with my wife, but by that point there was nothing left to say. Then her staff followed my wife to the car and asked if she would tell them why our son was kicked out of the last daycare he was at. She informed them that he was not kicked out, and that we transferred him to Annie's Ark at the recommendation of his psychologist because their classes were smaller so it would less stressful. I cannot put into words the level of disdain I have for the way this was handled. Not only did Ann make it appear to us that our son would be welcomed at her daycare despite his learning disabilities, but she also led everyone to believe she was interested in learning more about autism and helping our son succeed, only to kick him out in 2 1/2 days.

I tried my very best with this daycare. But do not send your child here. Yesterday, I picked my 3…read moreyear old daughter up from daycare around 6pm. Upon returning home, she showed me her hair and almost her entire braid was pulled out. I called the daycare immediately at 6:15pm and spoke to the director who stated "I don't know what happened. No one told me anything. ." This is the fifth incident in a year where my child has been a victim of neglect where someone either didn't know what happened or even it when it was too late. Once she ingested fish which she is allergic to, the second someone bit her finger, the third someone pulled dirt all over her to the point that she looked gray when I picked her up. At no instance was medical attention sought and I was notified either a day later, that evening upon pick up or not at all. In one instance the assistant director told me she called with an incident but my voicemail immediately came one. Way prior to that time I told them I worked as a therapist and I had to devices to be reached at and they had both numbers at the time of this incident. When asked why she didn't try the other number, she denied having it. However, upon pick up that evening she provided me with the sheet I filled out at the time of my daughter's registration, which had both numbers, to confirm the numbers on file. At which time I stated, I thought you only had one number to which she apologized. One time I went to get my child from the playground and no one could find her! Today was my last straw. I'm a single mom and full time business owner and depend on daycare for childcare. Despite the neglect, numerous times they've closed early, opened late or closed her classroom completely with little to no notice. I believe the center is too overpopulated for the current staff which leads to neglect and lack of care. They are allowing a child with severe behavioral issues to run rampant on the 3 year old room with no action being done. The director basically told me that my child, who's black, can leave. But the little boy, who's white can stay with no repercussions. He has autism and behavioral issues and needs to be in an inclusion center but nothing is being done.
