  Asking for the care givers names was asking for " confidential information "... if their employees names are confidential, what else is being hidden from the parents?! Bad vibes from Shanna before passed on to someone else, she looked sickly. Then the 2nd woman, I totally judged how she responded to her own child there... debating on reporting beyond this...

  I wasnt able to get days off that i need off and when i would express concerns about something the director seemed to not bother dealing with it.

  I honestly couldn’t imagine sending our children (3 and 10 months) to any place other than Hiawatha Day School! When we began looking for a center for our oldest, we toured almost every place in town. I had/have incredibly high expectations for childcare and Hiawatha Day School was the only one that met (and then exceeding) all of them. I love the fact there is only one room per age group which promotes a very “family” like atmosphere. Because of this, all the staff know the children and the families which adds even more of a personal touch. I love how there is a focus on routine and predictability rather than a free for all, play all day approach like I saw at some centers we toured. Their cleaning processes are also top notch and the center is always very clean and secure. The school also has wonderful, personal touches like having someone come in and do music with the classrooms, organizing baby chicks to be brought to the school in the springtime, working with the community to have fire trucks and police officers come for safety week and hosting an annual spring musical for families (and these are just a few of the many examples!). Yes, the center is more expensive than other places in town, but I truly believe you get what you pay for and the product at Hiawatha Day School is worth every single penny. As a working mom, I knew when sending my kids to a center I was going to be paying someone to help me raise them, and I honestly couldn’t imagine a better place to rise to that ask!

  Our 3 year old daughter started at HDS this year in the preschool room. We couldn’t be more pleased with the facility, the curriculum, or more importantly, the staff. They treat our daughter like extended family and we are proud and thankful to be part of the HDS community. She has learned so much this year!
