Our time at Ruffing was traumatizing. Our child was there for years and based on our experience and…read morenumerous conversations we had with other parents, the school did not seem interested in supporting kids with learning differences, who are neurodivergent, who have disabilities, or are experiencing mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety. Even common things like accommodating students with ADHD are not appropriately handled (one teacher told a parent her daughter needed to take ADHD meds!). Some teachers publicly shame students by writing their name on the wall if they are behind in assignments. If you have a child there, I suggest carefully considering whether you want to disclose any disabilities or mental health issues your child may have with the school, including if you have your child tested for an IEP or 504. If you do, the school might use that information against your child to unenroll them without warning. I used to sing this school's praises but now I strongly discourage families from attending.

Being part of the Ruffing family for almost 6 years now has been an absolute pleasure. Our children…read moreare thriving, and the teachers and administration truly care. When our son was home sick for a few days, our beloved teacher came over just to give him a hug since she wouldn't see him before spring break. When does that happen?! They nurture curiosity, and the love of learning. Ruffing is forever a part of our lives.

I had a very bad experience with Montessori daycare at Westlake…read more 1-) Nobody will listen to your complains. They live in the idea that they are the best. 2-) Repetitive complains without solution. This prove that that there is a poor level of problem solving. 3-) Non-Professional management with very poor Communication skills with parents. My daughter was bitten 3 times within one month. I tried to discuss this issue with the manager. But they claimed that this is completely normal. I disscussed this issue with my colleagues. They completely agree that this daycare is not doing good job. So I moved to another daycare. I completely with hesitant advise every parents to keep away from this daycare.

We toured this facility earlier this year. The facility & staff seemed fine until we got to the…read morecafeteria area. We could first hear the employee (younger looking woman with glasses) yelling at the kids from down the hall, something along the lines of "I SAID BE QUIET". Upon passing through, again yelling and I mean yelling at the kids (maybe 3 year olds?) I SAID EAT YOUR CHEESE ITS". The director giving us the tour said nothing. Upon passing through the baby room, another employee was slapping a baby's wrist who was crying & trying to put fingers in their mouth ( I assume was teething). That was enough for us!! I would encourage anyone considering this place to visit multiple times and go with your gut-. If they behave like that in front of you and the boss, how would they when no one is around?

I rarely leave reviews but when looking for childcare, I know that it can be stressful on parents…read more I have utilized Creative Playrooms Westlake for 7 years, for two children. Both children attended the infant room. The women were great in the transition of going back to work and establishing and following the babies schedules. Moving through the classrooms, we landed within the Montessori Program. I cannot say enough good things about the Montessori Program. The teachers are wonderful and have thoroughly prepared both kids for kindergarten. The teachers and staff genuinely care for the children and want to see them develop and grow. The center is peanut free and very good with working with food allergies. The location is right off of 90 and conveniently located too. When looking for childcare, this center should definitely be toured and considered.

My husband toured the facility and explained when we would need childcare to begin. They called me…read moreto see if I would also like to tour. I went in for a tour and the woman made it sound like a spot would be available for our child. I said I was interested in paying my registration fee. The woman took my info and said she'd send me the form. No form was sent. I called twice and left messages. I never received a response. Horrible way to run a business.

I see the games and activities that the children are engaged in. They are age appropriate and the children are very attentive to what they are learning. Also, I have had my 1 and a half, and three year old grandsons in the program. They are in diapers and have never had a rash when they go home. Also, my four year old granddaughter gets some help with potty training. In addition to that, they do up her hair in cute ways. This is a big deal since she won't let my husband or I touch her hair without screaming. I don't know how they do it, but I am so grateful that they do this. I guess I am meaning to say this preschool goes above and beyond my expectations. I cannot thank the teachers and director of the daycare enough. I love my grandchildren and they do too. I give them a five star review and if I could, I would go even higher. My granddaughter loves going to preschool. I want to see my teachers and my friends she says. It is also a very clean and I believe safe environment or the kids. I have witnessed the staff cleaning and disinfecting things when I pick up the children. To me, health and safety are the most important criteria for putting a child in daycare. The place has a lock with a code on the door to get in. Take it from a grandma, this is the place to bring your kids. They are just outstanding in their care for all the kids.
