We have 2 children at Great Expectations and love it! The teachers are very kind and our kiddos are…read morelearning SO much. They come home with daily reports (how their day was) and almost always a crafty item that they made. They even have Angel Trees for those less fortunate. I researched area childcares with the State and they are the best - Star 4!

I rarely post anything but I feel people need to be informed. If you have a child with a special…read moreneed or disability please do not sent them to Great Expectations Childcare and Learning certain. They do not understand that a child with special needs has rights. They are unwilling to communicate with the therapists in their facilities which they are required to do by law.. They have been reported for their discriminating practices. When a child has an IEP team, Behaviorial Specialist and a TSS available to help you and you choose not to communicate with them something is just not right and suspicious. The child has a TSS right there with him to help you, but no one is communicating with as well as an IEP team and a Behavioral specialist who no one was contacting. As an example the director Madelyn leaves a voice mail that calls a 3 year old with special needs "violent" and lied about an incident that was happening in the facility as well as saying we don't tolerate this behavior. So much for positive interaction. But then after speaking with the child's TSS who was with him at the time come to find out the incident was extremely exaggerated just so they could just get rid of him. If a child is not able to communicate like other kids you need to take time to find out what caused a behavior not just send him home. Which by the way is not to happen when a child has an IEP. Another lie prior to leaving we asked about the summer availability and were told by Administrators that they were going to be short staffed and had no availability but then on facebook Great Expectations is advertising that they do have availability, again discriminating against a child with a disability. I just want people who don't have the "ideal" child to be aware of how a special needs child is viewed by Great Expectations.

High Acres is a wonderful daycare option. My toddler had never been in daycare before, so the whole…read morething was new to both of us. The owner and the staff are all pleasant and helpful. Class sizes are reasonable, with plenty of teachers per room. Plenty of toys, games, activities, etc for the children, plus a nice fenced in play area outside, and a "baby gym" for cold weather so the children get plenty of exercise. Although my little one is not happy with me for leaving her with anyone, she is always playing happily when I come to pick her up. They are conciencious about illness, and aske parents whose children may be contagious to keep them home until they are better. While that might be inconvenient for that parent (as it was for me) it is a reasonable policy and beneficial to everyone. One of the things I appreciate most is the flexibility of scheduling. My daughter can go there as much or as little as I need. Prices are comparable with other daycares in the area.
