  I have nothing but good things to share about this center! My daughter has been attending for 4 months now and previously was home with my husband and I for 16 months. We were very hesitant to send her to any daycare as we were nervous first time parents. We toured and met the staff and saw the environment she would be in and were very happy. 4 months later and my daughter has adjusted SO well thanks to the toddler room teachers. Savannah has stood out to me from the beginning, she goes out of her way to comfort my daughter, make sure she’s involved in the group activities and overall is always giving me feedback on how her day went without me even having to ask. This is such a relief coming from a mom who obviously loves her daughter and feels no one can care for her better than I, however they have seriously impressed me and I now look forward to bringing her here. They update all day long with pictures, diaper changes, the activities they did and what they learned that day in the classroom. I can’t say enough positive things about the whole staff in the toddler classroom. Thank you times a million!!

  My sons have been attending A Child’s Place since they were born, and they are now almost 1 and 2 years old. They have developed strong bonds with their teachers, and I truly cannot say enough good things about the teachers who care for them every day. They know my boys, my boys are comfortable with them, and that sense of familiarity and security is incredibly important to me as a parent. Unfortunately, my experience with the center from a financial and management standpoint has become increasingly frustrating. A Child’s Place is already one of the more expensive childcare options in the area, even for families receiving state assistance, and the rates continue to increase. It is especially disappointing knowing the center is struggling with enrollment while existing families are being put in a position where childcare is becoming financially unsustainable. I am now having to seriously consider moving my boys somewhere more affordable, which means taking two very young children away from teachers they love and an environment they have known their entire lives. The teachers deserve five stars. They are the reason we have stayed. My frustration is with the priorities of the center’s management. From a parent’s perspective, it increasingly feels like funding and revenue are being prioritized over retaining and supporting the families who have been loyal to the center. I genuinely wish management would recognize that keeping families matters too. Raising rates may bring in more money per child, but it also pushes established families out the door. I never wanted to consider leaving, but unfortunately, the financial decisions being made by the center are forcing me to.

  I could not be happier with A Child's Place!!! All the staff are absolutely wonderful! They are so good with the children. My son and daughter love going to school, they hug their teachers every time I pick them up. The staff make it it a point to make sure we are involved in every step of the day. To my children's mood to the wonderful pictures they send me. The front office is wonderful and always keeping me up to date on everything. They go above and beyond to meet my needs. I would highly recommend A Child's Place to anyone. You will not be disappointed. :)
