All of my kids' teachers are super friendly, communicate well, and are just honestly such good people and are so deserving. My children are very comfortable with them because most have been there for years. They are flexible with specific dietary restrictions, they have outings, engaging activities, and an open door on the office for welcoming communication. The staff has even seen my kid having a meltdown in the parking lot and came out to help. The negative reviews on here are wildly dramatic and paint an inaccurate portrait. I would never have my kids attend a center I thought to be subpar. If you tour the place, you will get a homey feel from it right away. It was the only place I felt comfortable with when I was touring daycares years ago. And here we are, 5 years later.

Overall, we've been happy and have had some really great teachers, plus met other families and daycare besties. Pros and cons to all centers. We love that it's location is close to our house and they serve breakfast and lunch. They use an app called Dojo for communication and photos. Not all teachers post as many pictures but I'd rather them be present and hands on. Sometimes communication can be better but I'm an over communicator. I believe they really do try and they care, that's a reason we're still here.

Our two-year-old son has been attending Children's Village for almost two months, and our…read moreexperience has been nothing short of wonderful. Before enrolling, we had only ever used a single nanny, largely because we were anxious about leaving our son in the care of people we didn't know. From the very beginning, Children's Village consistently did all the right things to help us feel confident that our son would be in a safe, caring, and joyful environment. We arrived at the initial tour with a long list of questions and concerns. The team not only welcomed them--they exceeded our expectations. One of the directors spent over an hour with us, giving us her full, undivided attention. She walked us through their thoughtful policies, emergency plans, and the real-world actions behind them. As we met other staff members and teachers throughout the tour, it was clear they genuinely enjoy working together and truly care about the children. That first impression has held true every day since. Our son had a tough time adjusting at first; going from a nanny to a bustling daycare environment was a big change. But the staff showed remarkable compassion, patience, and communication throughout the transition. They kept us informed at every step and worked gently with him as he adapted. The transformation has been incredible--he went from crying for us throughout the day to now asking excitedly to go to "pre-school" most mornings. We cannot recommend Children's Village enough to parents who may be nervous about starting daycare. If you take the tour, we're confident you'll feel the same warmth and "good vibes" we did from day one. Their kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for the children shine through in everything they do.

She truly enjoys going and has shown so much growth - especially in her independence, ability to listen and follow directions, and social development through group play. I also appreciate the diversity among both staff and students, which creates a warm and inclusive environment. Many of the staff are parents themselves and bring a wealth of long-term experience and care to their roles. Childcare is a challenging and demanding field, and we truly admire the dedication of the staff at Children's Village. It's clear that the staff genuinely understand and nurture the developmental needs of young children, and that's given us a deep sense of trust and great peace of mind.

I didn't realize there were such negative reviews of this place. My daughter has been attending…read moresince January of this year, in the infant classroom. I feel that maybe the reviews were considered and things have changed. The infant classroom teachers love my daughter and are always telling me how shes doing and they give me a "summary" sheet of what/when they feed her, changer her and how she naps. She's is always excited when I drop her off and she's happy to see me when I pick her up. I have the leisure to stay with her for 10-15 mins every time I drop her off and she loves being there. She loves to see her teachers, they make her smile and that is what is important to me. The place has their own chef, it's secure, and the price is great. I live downtown and I can easily pay double for childcare than this location. It's close to work and convenient. The director is great, I can talk to her anytime phone/email. They notify me when my daughter isn't feeling well and it's an honest judgement. They even gave me a trial day last November to see how my daughter would do and what we needed to work on (bottle feeding). The teachers have been the same since I have had that trial day. I take away one star because of the location. It's right next to an auto-body shop (not their fault) and there are lots of cars speeding through the parking lot, I feel is a little scary, but I haven't seen any incidents, so that is good.

It's a lot with so many kiddos at the school though so I get it.

Our experience with this daycare was extremely concerning and unfortunately very short-lived…read more Within the first week (my child only attended four days), there were multiple safety incidents involving classroom doors that children were able to open. On the second day, I received a call that my child had opened the classroom door and exited into the hallway. Staff told me they were changing a diaper and didn't notice right away. Thankfully he was found quickly and had only made it to the first lobby door. When I picked him up shortly after, a staff member told me he had attempted to open the door several times within about 15 minutes. I asked what I could do to help prevent this from happening again and was told there was nothing needed from me and that staff would just remain on "high alert." I was also told that the center had discussed changing the door handles before but had not done so. A few days later, I received another call that my child had exited the classroom again while the class was cleaning up and only one teacher was present because the other teacher was on break. Earlier that same day there was also an incident where the children were outside playing and my child was able to walk to another classroom door and open it before being redirected. During the phone call about the second incident, the director stated that while they could redirect behaviors like not wanting to sit during circle time or meals, my child opening doors was "too much" for them to handle. She suggested we find another childcare provider and recommended a home daycare where there would be more one-on-one attention. This was confusing because the class only had about six students. What was frustrating is that all of the behaviors they raised concerns about were things we **fully disclosed during the tour before enrolling**. We explained that our child had never been in daycare before, does not talk yet, does not always follow verbal commands, and had recently discovered how to open doors. At the time we were reassured these were common toddler behaviors and that staff would redirect and work with him. There were also inconsistencies in the information we received. During pickup after the second incident, one teacher told me the situation happened while he was in her care, while earlier the director had told us a different teacher was responsible at the time. We were also told about an additional door incident that day but never received an incident report for it. I completely understand that teachers are responsible for supervising multiple children and cannot focus all of their attention on one child. However, when staff acknowledge that doors are not childproof and a child is able to open them multiple times within only a few days of attendance, that raises serious concerns about safety and preventative measures. Ultimately, we were advised by the director to find another childcare provider. We will be doing that and hope to find a program that is more willing to work with toddlers who are adjusting to their first daycare experience.

Watching his growth over these past few months has been amazing, and we owe so much of that to the wonderful, caring staff. When he first started, it was a big transition--he had been home with me since birth, and adjusting to a new environment and new caregivers was tough. He cried a lot and had trouble napping at first. But the staff was so patient and gentle with him through it all. Their support and consistency helped him feel safe and loved, and it made all the difference. Now, he's excited to go to school--he even runs into the classroom and forgets to say goodbye! As a parent, there's nothing better than knowing your child feels happy, secure, and cared for.
