- KBKenneth BrownNov 10, 20252.0I agree with Angela Sereno, when arriving you will get an an exciting experience with your children. I felt like my time was wasted because I did called and I asked for space. I don't understand why advertise and get the community excited if the child center is for SCUS students. The director and instructor coach did great and the center is phenomenal.
- SLSandie LongOct 10, 20255.0Great teachers and support staff. My grandchildren have been going here for years. They even love the lunches here.
- ASAngela SeronJun 10, 20232.0Don’t waste your time. They don’t advertise anywhere that they only allow people from the university there. I looked for some sort of “qualifier” online, didn’t find anything, so I submitted a request for information about availability and pricing. I get an email asking to schedule a tour, so you wouldn’t let someone tour if you’re filled up, right? Wrong. I figured cool, I got an email to proceed, so let’s do this! I can find out about pricing after I see the place. I got 3-4 confirmation emails reminding me about my appointment. Day of the appointment, I drove the 25 minutes there and as soon as my child and I set foot in the door, he started bawling for no reason. Obviously he could sense the bad vibes too. We waited a little while for our “tour guide” and only then did they ask if we qualified to be there by being a student or staff at the school. I said no, so their next move was to tell me they’re at capacity already. Seriously, two strikes in a row? Not looking good, folks. Strike three was them telling me I could get on the wait list, but I’d continue to be bumped if people from the school got on the wait list. All three strikes were within 1 minute of our “tour” starting. The only reason I’m giving them 2 stars is cause they told me a website I can try finding other daycares on. All of this could have been avoided if they’d simply responded to my initial question instead of forcing me to schedule a pointless tour.
