"The Children’s courtyard has been such a Wonderful experience! My son enjoys going to daycare daily. The staff know us by first name basis and it is extremely family oriented. I also love the fact i can check on my son at any time. I highly recommend the children’s courtyard!"
"At the beginning it wasn’t too bad. I enjoyed the people there. My kids enjoyed the people there. Then at some point in time it all changed and became a nightmare. Thank you to a few people there who were consistent and embraced my children. If you are considering bringing your child here right now, DON’T. Unless you absolutely have no other choice."
"It has improved a lot over the last several months with more consistent updates, better communication, and reliability with staffing. Sometimes we were sent away because daycare was at capacity and barely any uodats during the day on sprout."
"To much change in managament. The current managment is noy friendly. They are also not forth coming when illnessess are and the building putting myself and family at risk, on top of other information. The are condesending"
"First it started off well, but then once new administration has come in and well-liked teachers have left, it seems to continue to go downhill (in my opinion) and is no longer meeting my families expectations which is disappointing."
"It’s okay. Smells like bleach which can be over powering. Some teachers are great and others need more training on how to handle difficult children."
"Overall, we've had a good experience. I've noticed my daughter making some crafts over her time at the school, but we've haven't had the opportunity to take much of it home. If we can have those crafts, I'd love to put them on my fridge!"
"Disappointed is my general experience at the moment."
"There have been at least 4 directors that I can count in the ~2.5 years we've been attending, and so many new teachers all the time. I don't know so many of the staff and it's hard to keep track of all the new faces all the time. Consistency is so important for child development. I would really like to see more consistency in the leadership and teachers at the school. I am also not the primary drop-off/pick-up parent, so this has been especially hard on me. I feel like I have no idea who anyone is at the school. Lack of communication by the teachers is not helpful. I literally do not know the names of my children's teachers."
"I like the school. I wish they let the kids have a little more freedom and that nap time wasn’t so long. Maybe that they let kids who refuse to nap do something else. Also it’s hard when they have a different teacher every week sometimes every day. Each teacher is different and the kids have a hard time adjusting to their different styles and rules."
"It hasn't been great. We have a new Director now, so I'm hoping things become a little smoother. Some of the teachers are really great, and some are not. I know it is a tough time for many business' to keep staff."
"General experience has been fine. I do think the teachers need to communicate more about the children especially with all your new staff."
"Generally, communication with parents is low and I expect more, both from the teachers and the administrative staff. Teachers using SproutAbout is inconsistent. Some days I get no updates at all. I would love to know all food, sleep, and toilet/diaper information every day, and also get at least one picture, video, or lesson every day. I work full time, so I can't watch the live streaming regularly."
"Great learning environment, engaging tearchers."
"The teachers and staff care about the kids a lot. They all know my children even if they aren't their teacher. They work very hard. I worry about them being short-staffed as it seems that sometimes these wonderful teachers are having to take on extra work or scramble to cover."
