[quote=Anonymous]Loooove our center. Both of my kids went there full time from eight weeks thru preschool, and are now in ES and go there in the summer for their day camp program (not this summer). Here are some of the things I like:
- lots and lots and lots of outdoor space, with playgrounds separated by age
- indoor space is very “curated” to the children’s level with lots of age appropriate activity options 
- very little turnover in staff. My kids are 9 and 6 and most of their former infant/toddler teachers are still there. 
- all of the lead teachers have bachelor’s degrees. This is a career for them and they treat it as such. Similarly, the center treats them like professional educators (not just “daycare workers”) and pays well. I think most of the assistant teachers have associate’s degrees in early childhood or are in school working on that degree. 
- teachers care for and love our children like their own. I am friends with 
- healthy meals and snacks provided 
- great, thorough communication. Not just daily communication from the teachers about how the kids’ days were, but the director is also very good at communication and keeping us updated. 
- the center plans quarterly social activities/outings for families 
- low teacher:child ratio

Most importantly, while of course not every day is perfect, my children really, really seem/seemed to like going there. They often didn’t want to leave at pickup. They were excited to see their teachers and the other children when dropped off in the morning. [/quote]
