Not to mention, they are doing their best during Covid to keep everyone safe and healthy. We would 10/10 recommend.

Ms. Barrie Moen and her team of teachers know how to help kids grow and learn while having so much fun. My daughter came home everyday all year long chattering about friends and love of her teachers. She grew so much and came out of her shell. We also have Playwise to thank for helping us catch early a few small developmental delays that we quickly learned was related to a need for glasses! We got that corrected and she continued to thrive! We are excited to send her to 4 weeks of summer camp this year and send her to Pre- K with them this September! We love Playwise!

I'm writing this review as a concerned parent after my six-month-old daughter spent one month in…read morethe infant classroom ("Baby Birds"). I want to share my honest experience to help other parents find the best environment for their children. First, the positives: the campus is beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. I also appreciated the organic baby food program, splash pad, and biometric fingerprint entry system, which is a great feature. However, I did notice that at times multiple individuals may enter behind one another without scanning, which somewhat defeats the purpose of controlled access. Beyond the surface, my experience raised several concerns--especially given the cost of tuition. On my daughter's second day, her bottle was mistakenly given to another baby. This is extremely concerning, not only from a care standpoint but also due to the risk of cross-contamination and illnesses such as RSV. The following day, I attempted to provide pre-portioned formula and water as a backup, but was told this was not allowed due to state law. While I understand policies exist for safety, this left me uneasy given the previous incident. I also observed what appeared to be a lack of attentiveness regarding illness. I overheard a parent expressing concern about their baby being sick, and on a separate occasion noticed a baby with visible symptoms (such as a runny nose on their clothing). This made me question how illness is being managed and whether precautions are taken to limit spread among infants. I also observed staff stepping over babies on the floor rather than walking around them. Books were kept in a cabinet behind the front desk and not accessible in the classroom, and I did not observe babies being read to or engaged in developmentally appropriate activities. On one occasion, I saw a baby playing with a small plastic storage container, which raised safety concerns. Additionally, babies appeared to spend extended time (30+ minutes) in container seats, which felt excessive. The school offers camera access with a clear view of the classroom, but it is limited to 30 minutes per parent and does not include audio. From what I consistently observed, the routine seemed to focus on feeding, changing, and placing babies on the floor for independent play. The environment felt rushed at times--more focused on managing the babies than nurturing and engaging them. I also had a small but telling experience where my daughter was changed out of her outfit before I could even leave the parking lot, and I was told staff did not have time to put outfits like that back on. I would recommend sending infants in simple clothing like sleepers. Lastly, there is no online billing portal. Payments are automatically withdrawn weekly using bank information, and statements are not issued until the end of the month, which lacked clarity. Due to my concerns, I ultimately withdrew my daughter before the required two-week notice period. This may be a good fit for families seeking a clean, basic daycare environment. However, for those looking for a more enriching, nurturing experience--especially at this price point--it may fall short. I do believe there is potential, but the level of care and engagement did not align with my expectations. I am looking for a place where my child is not only cared for, but truly nurtured and supported in her development.

I had a very eye opening experience dealing with Heather King at Forrestal Academy. After reaching…read moreout initially to set up enrollment I was notified verbally of a registration fee and the tuition dues. I asked for an in person meeting prior to enrollment date in lou of being thorough and understanding what we should expect. The school requires you to provide your account numbers so they can automatically pull funds as they wish. I let them know I was more comfortable with other forms of payment where I had more control over what amount they were pulling. It wasn't until a few days before the planned enrollment date I received a call from Heather asking me for an additional fee we did not previously discuss. An annual fee. An annual fee, before we were there one day? Annual fees come annually and there was zero mentioned of this during any of our meetings. Heather was quick and happy to mentioned it was in their 20 page packet in the fine print that I signed. This was brought up after they wanted my account information which leads me to believe they would have just pulled any amount they wanted without my knowledge. I ultimately did not provide any account numbers prior as I had planned on setting up a secure monitored account that had not been done yet. SO if I had done so they would have just pulled what they wanted at any time. I decided to put our start on hold because of the lost trust and concern of starting off on the right foot. Now Heather expects me to pay tuition for the time it took me to decide that we were not moving forward because of her untransparent actions. This school is all about showcasing the good then get your account numbers and do what they want where they have control over what they take from your account. Good luck with that business model.

Ms. Maureen was my son's teacher when he was in the three year old class. She made the class fun and rewarding. It made me wish that we had sent our daughter ( his older sister) there for the three year old program instead of just the four year old program. Our children both had Ms. Julie for the four-year old class and they LOVED her. She had a way of tapping into their artistic side and letting them explore their imaginations through play and art. They also had a religious education and a physical fitness program that was included with tuition. Both of my children are now in elementary school and are exceeding our expectations with their academic abilities. I have to credit Stepping Stones for laying the foundation for their success. It is what Kindergarten used to be. Getting children ready for school while teaching them how to get along.

Ms. Carolyn is such an incredible soul who values children and offers each of them an invitation to receive an incredible love of learning. The foundational skills of curiosity, social interaction, creativity, exploration, and problem solving are rock solid after my child's preschool experience. His connection to nature and love for science couldn't be more beautiful. There is no other preschool in our area that comes close to this unique forest school experience. In addition, we took advantage of the summer camp offerings and birthday party packages as well!! We drove 25 min between our home and the school. It is worth every moment of commuting to give my child such a rich childhood experience. I plan to continue my relationship with Woodland Discovery when my youngest is old enough to begin!!
