My daughter is adopted and we literally had no time to plan for daycare. We got a call on a Monday…read morethat she was being born that night. Most places in Atlanta have LONG wait lists. I was told everywhere from 9 months to 1.5 years. Because we didn't have 7-9 months to plan for a baby coming, our options were limited. My daughter started going here when she was 7 weeks old and she went until she was 11 months when we moved to NYC. The teachers were really great and my daughter seemed to really like it and didn't seem adverse to going. We stayed in NY for a year and when we got back, we enrolled her again. She loves her teachers. She talks about them all the time. The people who work here seem to really care about the kids. I also like the fact that everyone who works there knows the kids names even if they aren't in that class (pre k teachers knowing 2 year olds). The place is really clean and that's also important. The price is also fairly economical (compared to a lot of other places I had talked to) which helps. They only seem to have waiting lists for Pre K, but for infants and toddlers, they have an extra room so if they need to open it up to fix the teacher/student ratio they do.

Here they had no wait and the boys were able to start at a moments notice. The staff goes out of their way to help me bring the boys into the building in the morning and out to the car again when I pick them up. With the cold weather it's been so helpful and I appreciate them greatly. Not sure how many places would do that. The daycare thing is pretty new to us and leaving the boys for the first time was a bit nerve racking but now I know, with no doubt, that they are at one of the best Centers in town.

I am a proud parent of two young children that attend Cliff Valley School. I find the pre-K…read moreprogram to be a warm and loving environment that is fully entrenched in the child directed learning approach. This thoroughly researched approach is a wonderful advantage because although there is a curriculum, it's nice to have freedom to expand upon something that is important to the students, which in turn, excite their learning even more. My son, in the pre-K program for two years, is moving on to Kindergarten this year with happy anticipation. I believe the success of any school can be measured when a child truly wants to go to school to find what subjects he or she will learn that day and in turn, can't wait to share their learning successes with me, the parent. At an early learning stage, I believe you cannot ask of any school for more than instilling a desire to learn which hopefully will follow them throughout their education. I noticed the previous reviewer mentioning the age range of students in Pre-K as a negative. Actually, a mixed age classroom of 3.5-5 years old is advantageous as it fosters leadership in the older children and allows the younger children to model behaviors and learn some skills at a faster pace from the older children. This is a learning method that many successful schools have incorporated into their preschool programs and many Montessori programs offer the same design as well. I am happy with the efforts put forth by Cliff Valley School and the results seen in my children; therefore, I would encourage any parent to consider Cliff Valley for their child's education

Each encounter I had with her if there was an issue, she initiated the conversation with an insult. The infant room is great and has wonderful care givers. The transitional process from infant to toddler room is horrible. My son was 11 months when they decide to transition him from the infant room to toddler room. They expect an 11 month old to do the same things as a 2 year old. My son was not being properly fed. The main reason was that they were too lazy to give him a warm bottle and they were too cheap to provide a small fridge and microwave in the toddle room. My son was not taking well to cold bottles, Della and staff felt it was only right to keep him on cold bottles after they observe that he isn't drinking the cold milk that they were providing. My son typically drinks 8oz every 3 hours. On his daily activity sheet, he would only have 2oz per feeding. They observed this and blamed my wife and I for not giving him cold bottles as they do at the daycare. If an eleven month old baby that isn't drinking cold milk how can you force him to???He has to be fed one way or the other which they refused to do. Everyday I picked him up from daycare he would cry the whole care ride home, when I got him in the house he would suck down up to 160z in one settings which isn't typical. we were excuse of having my son attend the daycare on the morning of a meeting my wife and I were to have with the Daycare. No forewarning or lead time to find another facilities. I previously discussed giving us 30 days to move on which they agreed to. This is something they will ask for from the parent as well if you decide to leave. Their reason for excusing us was because they can not provide 8oz of warm milk per feeding. By law you can request your child to be on a certain eating regiment. Della, Mary and Velina does not care about the well being of your child. Also they allow anyone to walk to into the rooms where the kids are kept. There are children crawling around dirty floors which everyone walk on. My child was constantly sick which I get but to come home with HAND FOOT MOUTH Disease. Read up on what that is, it comes from uncleanliness. They also do not care to change your kids clothes if they are dirty. They bring your kids to their play ground and do not take the time to take the wood chips and sand out of their shoes. Asking for my child to have warm bottles and to keep him as clean as possible was too much to ask for. I know finding a Daycare is hard and sadly you have to take what you can get. But if you do choose this Daycare please Voice your opinion on the care of your child. I've spoke to other parents who had similar the experience and they weren't as vocal about the care of their child. This facility can not continue with sub par care of kids. They do not deserve it!!!!!! I hope management is changed!!!

I looked at a lot of daycares before I settled on this one. As soon as I walked in, I knew it was…read morethe right place for my child. It may not be the most modern of facilities, but the teachers love the children and take excellent care of them. Besides my first day dropping her off there (really, who isn't worried/sad that first day?!), I've never once felt worried about my child when she's in their care. I especially appreciated all the guidance the infant caregivers gave me that first year. Being a first time mom, I really didn't know when my child could or should do certain things---even little stuff, like eating Cheerios or drinking out of a sippy cup. They really helped me feel confident in letting my daughter experience new things and help her reach milestones. I love the daily report they provide me regarding activities, feedings, naps, and changings. It really helps me know what she's been up to and what I might expect from her the rest of the day. She has so much fun there now that she's a toddler. I often can't even get her to leave at the end of the day because she's too busy playing or showing me something new in her room. Then she wants to hug every teacher and administrator before we make our way out of the facility. As with any daycare, your child must adapt to the routine. Fortunately, the teachers have a lot of experience and will spend extra time with children as they make transitions to new rooms and new routines. I also really like the playground for the little kids and separate one for the bigger kids. They both appear to be very safe and don't offer anything too tall to climb on (or possibly fall off of). Weather permitting, the kids get to go out there twice a day and burn off some energy. And in the summer, they get to have "water play" once a week to help with sensory experiences and just have some fun. The best part is that the teachers take photos of the kids and will post them in the rooms and then give them to you. It really is like one big family there. Good hygiene also seem to be followed here. Gloves are used for all diaper changes and children's hands are washed as soon as they arrive--even for all the infants. My daughter has barely been sick since starting there, minus runny noses (to be expected). I also see them cleaning all the rooms each day, wiping clean tables, sweeping floors, and vacuuming rugs (which they also don't allow people to walk on with shoes in the baby room). I could go on and on about this place and what a great experience it has been for us so far. If you live or work near this daycare, I strongly suggest you check it out.
