This place has really went downhill. We used to love this place and loved the staff but as time…read morecontinued and our kid continued to grow we noticed that it was difficult to keep this place staffed. Sometimes they would staff the young kids rooms with fresh faces without enough training to provide parents the lesson plans they have for their children. So the kids would be left roaming free doing whatever they wanted. There would be times that the kids were finally calm and was learning how to self regulate their emotions and then a new teacher comes in and changes the atmosphere. And sometimes they would assign teachers who gag when it comes to potty training kids which sets some kids back because they are thinking that they are doing something wrong with the reaction that teacher is giving. There is no consistency with these teachers and they keep rotating all the teachers around which causes chaos. There hasn't been any more lesson plans given to the parents because the teachers never know which class they will be in. There has been times where I would come in early to pick up my child, only to hear the tablet speakers blasting and the children staring at the tablet and watching DannyGo. There are other times where I would come in and hang out with my kid a bit in the morning and smell the strong odor of marijuana on a teacher as she walks in to start her day. They aren't always consistent to checking in your kids into the classroom so you can look on the app and see how their day is going by either looking at the posts from the teachers or logging into the live video feed but only if they are checked in by the teachers. They are very adamant when it comes to parents checking in their children but aren't when it comes to teachers checking in their children. Overall, we used to love this place and loved the staff that were meant to teach. There are still some people there from when our kid started and we love them, but we can see that them being short staff is effecting them. These teachers play such a huge roll in these children's lives so it's important to keep them happy and honest. When I talk to another parent they were noticing a difference in the teachers' attitudes as well. So seeing some of these teachers' patience running thin shows that they need some extra training because kids will be kids and they need guidance. We also didn't appreciate when the the director Richelle took 9 days to respond to us about some concerns we had when it came to them being short staffed and causing us issues because they were not able to care for our child. Child care is expensive enough so waiting 9 days for a statement to be corrected only to get charged a late fee in the process while waiting is ridiculous. Really wish Ashley was the director because she is always prompt with responses and she is so caring and respected amongst all of her peers and children. The children all love her and listen to her. She knows how to handle difficult situations and how to properly de-escalate any issue with both adults and children. Hoping this place gets better in the near future for the children.

When I was looking for daycares I toured a few before deciding on Brownstone. What I like about…read moreBrownstone is the vibe of it - I think it has a familiar, familial vibe to it. It's not stuffy. Some of the other daycares I toured had a real 'factory' vibe to them that seemed cold and like some sort of weird production line where the kids went through the same station rotation every day. Brownstone has the structure that kids need, but also allows for flexibility. While there's a lot of the typical turnover you see in all daycares, there doesn't seem to be a lot of turnover with the lead teachers, who are the ones you want to be consistent. One of the best things about Brownstone is that they allow part-time care for infants and toddlers, which is REALLY hard to find, and are reasonably priced. They are currently a 3 star SUTQ rated facility, which is a good rating. If you can get over some of the superficial things that need fixing up (which kids don't give a hoot about) you won't be disappointed in the quality of care. *Not receiving any freebies for this recommendation. Just want to get the word out that this is a good value daycare in the area.

I was actually "fired" from Brownstone after my last complaint two months ago when they raised the…read moreprices to almost $400 a week for an infant (this is $100 more than my first child paid at the same facility at the same age, with longer standing staff). I'd have been happy to pay more if the increase was going to the teachers like they said it would. After speaking to current and former employees, they never saw those funds from the increase in tuition. Therefore the question remains, where did that money go? Not to mention that in addition to the weekly fee, you will pay a monthly teacher fee (no idea what this is for) and a monthly organic fee. They raised prices for services they had told us they were already providing, such as yoga. In one price raise (they had 3 or 4 since Covid), they stated they were going to be installing an outdoor water play area, which they did. However, capital improvements should be part of a business's operating income-not my tuition, in my opinion. Teachers were in and out and we never knew who our child would be with that day. Well meaning teachers who got no support from ownership. The center is disorganized and did not allow for day to day communications. This was absolutely a favor that we parted ways with Brownstone. I was comfortable with the care there when we started almost 4 years ago, but the quality of care has declined sharply in that time.

Without any discussions, conversation or any communication at all, we wake up to an email saying our son is kicked out of their program for "not making progress" , and by they meant that he goes through the obstacles too quick, and gets antsy waiting. The new owners and the teachers are lazy, and shouldn't be teaching kids if they need any extra attention. They make it very clear they do NOT want to have to work one on one with any child that needs it. Save yourself the time, money, aggravation. Don't even bother, they sell you this fake image of what the experience will be.
