My daughter was transitioned from a home daycare of 3-5 kids into this wondeful child care center. This is my first child and she has special needs. She is now almost 6 years old and she has cerebral palsy. When I first started my daughter at A Kid's Place, she was so nervous and scared but within a couple of weeks she was doing really good with saying her good byes and this was due to the loving ladies that cared for her. Her preschool teacher was wonderful in working through my daughter's little fits that she would throw because she couldn't do things like normal children. They didn't give her special attention either so that my daughter would intergate with the other children. Whenever there was an issue with my daughter and her therapy issues/needs, the staff at A Kid's Place was eager to learn and to help assist the learning of this with myself and my daughter. The staff is always very loving and always caring for my child and the children in their center. They don't treat one child any particular way over another child. I appreciate them for taking the children during the summer months on field trips and getting them out to have fun rather than keeping them in the center. My daughter also enjoys watching movies and just hanging out with the other children and if there was ever an incident at the daycare, I was notified immediately. If there was ever an illness that came about in the center, everyone was kept up to speed on this. I will keep my child with this center until they kick us out or my daughter outgrows the center. I also hope to have another child in the future and I will have that child at this daycare center as well. I have to give kudos out to the staff there that has cared for my child.... Steffanie, Cortney, Shannon and Vicki. Ms. Mallory and Mr. Chris have been great with my daughter as well. I love that they actually have home cooked meals for...
Read moreGood solid daycare. Atmosphere is very relaxed but not bush league so I would not worry about kids being ignored or anything like that. I think you can find fancier ones if you want to, but I did not see the point in paying for it unless it translates into the kid's education. Caregivers are mostly parents and daycare vets which means lots of experience but I am not sure of any educational backgrounds in early childhood development or what not. Something to ask about if that is very important to you. Prices were fair and we liked that, as part timers, we could add days "a la carte." We only took our son out (Who went there from 3 months to 10 months of age) because my wife got a new job and the driving got to be too much for both of us considering this is in North Olmsted and we now both worked on the east side.
Place was always clean and well organized. Our son was content and happy and well taken care of. Can only comment on the baby/infant program but all the toddlers and bigger kids also...
Read moreMy son is 5 months old and was kicked out for "crying". I'm sorry, but isn't that your job to take care of him while I can do my job? Also I would pick him up and his diaper would be beyond full and sometime sitting in poop and then I would look at his daily sheet and he wasn't changed for 4+ hours!!! One teacher, if you could call any of them that, was really good with him and he really liked her, but all the others would just put him in the swing or in the jumper and seemed like they didn't work with them at all. They collect a paycheck to neglect our kids. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone!!! After I had problems I found out 2 people I know had the same issues with them. Also seems like they play favorites, like some kids are treated way better than others. Seriously, beware...
