My son is autistic and so I’m always hyper paranoid of his safety and how he’s treated. I never had to worry about that here. Everyone there impressed me with how inclusive and caring they were. All the teachers, not just my son’s teacher, knew him and would always be happy to see him and say hello. That mattered, and meant, a lot to us. If it says anything, his teacher gave us a special going-away gift and we all got very emotional when we had to leave. He made actual friends there and it warmed my heart. My son is nonverbal but I knew he was comfortable there because I saw him smiling whenever I saw him and he never hesitated to go to his class.
The director, Stephanie, has a gentle and patient way with children and just radiates positivity. I’ve seen her go the extra mile with children; she makes time and space for literally anyone whenever they need it. She’s super sweet and compassionate with all of them, especially kids who might be struggling. The teachers there have a good rapport with each other and the kids, and are always kept on the same page. They dance and act goofy, play pretend with the kids one-on-one, read, sing songs, do hands-on crafts including holidays, and have things like workbooks and Bingo for the older kids. They were really on top of ordering things in advance and didn’t skimp out on any expense.
Incidentally they value keeping the classrooms and equipment clean a LOT which is pretty crucial with children lol. Their response to COVID was really swift and consistent, which showed me that they took the health of the children and staff seriously.
As a special needs parent I felt heard and accommodated when in other circumstances I was sadly called nitpicky or my son was overlooked. We gained so many happy memories here and it was a very special time in our lives. I truly feel like he couldn’t have been in better hands.
The best daycare! I can’t imagine such a place existed, always well staffed and clean. the teachers took care of my daughter with care and love. Shout out to Stephanie, Megan, Jessica , Ria, Renu , Pratyusha and the other teachers for making our experience so memorable.
