Huckleberry Cheesecake vs CCLC at 2200 Penn

[Anonymous]

I'm wondering if anyone who has had a child in the infant room in either Huckleberry Cheesecake or CCLC @ 2200 Penn (by Whole Foods) could please tell me about their experience? We are trying to decide which center we'd prefer. Thank you!

I have visited the CCLC center. The infant room is small and used a natural color scheme - meaning lots of shades of subdued browns and greens- not exactly cheery and very little natural light.

What did you like/not like about each place, OP?

I didn't like either. Sorry.

I have friends who have used Huckleberry and love it. It has a great reputation.

Thanks for the responses. OP here -- Both seemed good; I was just trying to figure out which we prefer. CCLC is closer to my work, but we were impressed by the fact that the staff in the infant room at Huckleberry Cheesecake had worked there for something like 10+ years. So I was just trying to get more insight regarding the quality of care in the infant room at both places. Or, if someone had a bad experience, I'd want to know about that too.

My child has been at cclc@2200 penn for over a year now. She's thrived there due in large part to the loving nature of the caregivers and their child-focused approach. Even after our child graduated to an older room, she insists on visiting her infant caregivers in the "baby" room for quick hugs and kisses - daily. The rooms lack natural light, yes, but they are calming and subdued. One of the infant rooms is set aside for the younger infants, which I liked since mine entered at 3mos and needed more naps that wouldn't get interrupted by older infants who didn't have as frequent sleeping schedules. In short, we've been happy and I highly recommend the program.

NO natural light at all. Also no outdoor play area. Very expensive considering

My kid got a black eye in an infant room at cclc. He was the only baby being watched at the time. I just came across the in sent report. I'm sure the teacher didn't do anything to him but for the life of me can't understand how in a space so small he could take a run (1) into a table
Also the air conditioning in the infant rooms rarely worked in the summer. Hopefully that has been repaired.
The rooms after infant were just as small.

Loved the infant room teachers at Huckleberry. They are so loving and act as though your baby is the only baby they are caring for.

I can't say enough great things about Huck Cheese. I've had two kids go through the infant room there.

Good luck to you. As pp mentioned, it is a tough decision!!
