Reviews of THE CHILDREN'S CENTRE, INC (Costumes)

TERRI B

I enrolled my two year old in this center this past September. I explained to the staff prior to enrolling him that my son had never been out of the home since birth and that I wanted to make this transition as easy as possible for him. They ensured me that this case is seen quite often and that they provide a nurturing environment that will enable a smooth transition from home to daycare. Hearing this, and trusting that they are true to their word, I signed him up for 3 half days a week. On the first day, the teacher was absent and there were assistants watching the children. Nonetheless, I dropped my son off and returned at 1pm around the kid's lunch/nap time. When I entered the room and didn't see my son, I asked the assistant where he was. She pulled a stack of cots away from the wall and my son was laying terrified on a cot in some cut out in the wall behind the stack. I almost lost my damn sanity. They (the staff and the director) said that they put kids in this "cubby" when they have difficulty sleeping during nap time as a means of isolating them so that they will not disturb the other children while they are napping. They also claimed that a staff member is supposed to be sitting there with the child so that they will not be alone. This was not acceptable by any means. My son was traumatized by this experience. How can you think that placing a child in some "cubby" unattended will provide a nurturing environment or a smooth transition to the daycare setting. My trust has gone completely out the window with daycare facilities. Had I not come early to witness this I would have never known that this happened to my baby. To this center, a child is just another client bringing in more money, but to me my child means everything. Parents, I implore you to make pop-up visits to ensure that your child is being treated with the same regard you give to your baby....This could have been (or is happening to) your child !!

We are more than happy with The Children's Centre. The staff is fantastic, which is the key. They REALLY care. They are always welcoming and positive. Every single teacher I see looks friendly and is smiling which makes me feel good that they hire positive people. Our child is in a class with several other children and this is such an asset we didn't get from an in home daycare where there was maybe 1 or 2 other kids his age. He gets more than enough personal attention from teachers, but more so, its great that he can socialize with friends on a regular basis. He is just over 2 and he has his friends that he loves talking about when he gets home.

I've had my kids here for years and they love it. My daughter met her best friend there at 5 and my youngest would rather go here than anywhere else. They play hard, learn lots and take such good care of the kids. Could not recommend this place enough.

I agree with the other reviewers that this daycare center is wonderful. The one bad review must be from the competition. Both of my kids have gone here, and the teachers have been there for years and years, which is the most important indicator for a good center. The outdoor playspace is wonderful, and the kids learn a lot and love to be there. Finding a good daycare that is also affordable is nearly impossible. The only thing that would make the Children's Centre better is if they added an infant program!

My kids have been going to Children's Center for 7 years and I have nothing but great things to say about this place. The staff is very attentive to the needs of the kids (even some special needs kids) and they have a family atmosphere. 10 stars from me!!!!

I have one child that currently attends and I have another starting soon. I would recommend this place to anyone. Great staff that keeps the kids interactive.

This is the best daycare you are going to get in this area. The two most important criteria for child care is safety and cost. They are very reasonable and with the monthly tuition kept low I am pretty sure that the teachers may not be making a whole lot. But the teachers really care and it is hard work. Although you provide the lunch, their snacks are pretty filling and I am sure the kids have a great time. Their huge playground is a big plus!!!! Moreover, the toddlers and pre-schooler's play area are separate. Bottomline, the management and the teachers are just way too nice. They are definitely not behind money. All I know is my daughter is very happy to go there and more recently she doesn't want to even come back.
