Riverside Education Center

5.0

By saraehw

I transferred my infant and toddler here and it is an amazing facility. It's practically brand new. Brand new toys, tables/chairs, and supplies. It's amazingly clean and the teachers are very nice. The director is very good at her job as well. The director at my previous day care center was not, and that is the reasoning for us choosing this great center. If you are in need of child care do not hesitate to tour this place. ...read more

Kids Time Child Care

5.0

By Kekee Bias

This my second experience with child care providers in 13 years and this is the best experience i have ever had. My child will be bilingual, the rate is awesome, and most importantly my daughter loves it! She is 11 months old and has been going since 8 months old, she understands her providers directions already and some of ours if choose to use spanish at home. The most important thing is that i trust her, Sunny loves it, the price is reasonable, go on field trips, and to the library for story time 2 times per week, and your child will be bilingual. one up on the resume. This is the best experience of my life and i don't have to worry about my daughter, my oldest is is 25, then 19, then 16, then 1 soon. If i could send everyone i know with small children i would. I never this was here, i was looking up Spanish speaking day care for my cousin, she fell asleep and i found this. I'm glad i did to share the care, respect, and love your child deserves with "Kids Time Child Care". ...read more

Primrose School of Johnstown Road

5.0

By buckeye84 at Citysearch

The management team at the Primrose School of Johnstown Road does a great job. As soon as you come in the building they are friendly and welcoming. This was one of the biggest changes for us when we came to this school. Most other places we had been were just very emotionless and "blah". The Director there is always on top of any questions I have and handles my concerns immediately with professionalism. I appreciate this so much, so I wanted to be sure I left a comment for others to see as I'm sure they will appreciate it just as much. I think the teachers there do a great job as well. They always treat our children so well; they have nothing but good things to say when we pick them up. Hope your experience is just as good as ours. ...read more

TOP 10 THINGS TO LOOK FOR IN A HOME DAYCARE PROVIDER AND PROGRAM

All too often families have their children in a daycare center that feels like such a disconnect from their home environment. You drop your child off and several hours later come pick them up hoping they had a good and fun day. So many child care programs offer such little feedback and detail to a child's day because usually there are just so many children. That's why a lot of families are turning to home child care because they know their child will be receiving quality care and one-on-one attention - at least this is what parents hope for. TOP 10 THINGS TO LOOK FOR IN A HOME DAYCARE PROVIDER AND PROGRAM: If you're considering a home daycare program, make sure to look for the following: 1. Does the provider's home look nice and kept up well - safe and clean 2. Are there a lot or not so many other children who attend the program? If there are a lot of children, make sure your provider is abiding by state law and only having so many children within allotted number per age group. 3. Does your provider offer an initial interview so everyone can meet up front before anything is signed - so both sides feel comfortable working together. 4. What is your providers annual calendar? Do they have one? How do they handle illnesses and program closures? 5. Does your child seem happy and want to interact with the provider and the environment? 6. What is the background of the provider with child care experience? Many amazing home daycare providers don't have a degree in early childhood education, but they have extensive hands-on experience - such as being a parent themselves and or being a teacher for several years. 7. What all is included in the tuition cost and how much is tuition. This is your child we are talking about here, so choosing the daycares that advertise them as the cheapest in town often are not the best in town. Are meals, diapers, art supplies, etc included in the tuition? How is tuition paid? Make sure payment obligation expectations are clearly defined up front, either in a parent handbook and contract. 8. What kinds of activities does the provider do with the children? Is the program organized? Is there a schedule? Children need structure as to know what's coming next and to feel secure in their environment. 9. Does the provider offer references? It's always good idea to see how other families feel about their experience with the provider you're considering for your own child. 10. Does your provider have a support system of any kind or overseeing body? Such as, do they participate in state programs? Are they a part of a larger company that oversees their quality and program? Knowing that your provider isn't the sole person overseeing things grants great reassurance for families because they know that the home child care program has checks and balances, quality control, and safety measures in place that cannot slip through the cracks.
