- AQAllyson QuinnJun 4, 20255.0Started my son in the toddler program @ CCAR back in February, I feel very blessed to know he is in the hands of caring, kind & trustworthy professionals. As I have stated many, many, times- professionals in childcare have the most important job in the world. They are responsible for small, young, demanding & vulnerable humans. I am so grateful to Mary, Grae, & all the other teachers who overlap, (Jennifer, Cherry) just to name a few. They are professional and work extremely hard. Administration is very responsive, specifically Stephen and Tim. Great place w/ great people.
- ICIngrid CapobiancoMar 24, 20255.0I just wanted to take a moment to share how incredibly grateful I am for the amazing onboarding experience Leo and I have had. From day one, it’s been so clear how much thought and care your team puts into welcoming families—and as a first-time mom, that has meant the world to me! Leo is settling in so well, and I can already see how much he enjoys being at the center. The updates throughout the day truly make me feel connected to him even when we’re apart, and they always brighten my day. I also want to give a special shoutout to his teachers, Grae and Mary—they are the absolute sweetest! It’s so comforting to know he is surrounded by such kind, caring people. Thank you all again for creating such a warm, supportive environment for both the kids and the parents. We’re so happy to be part of the community!
- BCBen CentraNov 12, 20245.0Our one year old son has been having a great time here! All of the instructors are caring and lovely, and the staff is professional and courteous. The facilities and classrooms are in great shape. And the location is nice, easy for biking or driving, and close to cafes and restaurants for after dropoff or pickup.
- KHKristen HeimNov 11, 20245.0We’ve been with the children’s center at assembly row for the past year and have had such a great experience. My little one is enrolled in the preschool room and has learned so much! From writing his name, to learning all about gardens, insects, and being kind to friends. He looks forward to going to school each day and seems very happy when we talk about his day. I can’t recommend this center enough!
- APAnonymous ParentNov 14, 20231.0Throughout this year, my nephew has been placed in multiple classrooms, lacking consistent teachers which I've discovered is because teachers are treated poorly by management, so much so that the turnover rate is extremely high. Just know this if this is a childcare center you have considered, there is a huge lack of consistency and it will affect your child. There has also been inconsistent communication when it comes to incidents of my nephew getting hurt, I've been told different stories on multiple occasions by the director. Management is a mess. One of them, Mary I believe, yells at children and I’ve witnessed children screaming and crying and she forces them to use the bathroom. A shame, it is beautiful center and the teachers are wonderful. Hope they can get new management and resolve these issues, has been happening all year.
