Could you please share some details about your experience? It's on our short list so any insight would be invaluable!

Im the PP. My experience isn't recent but if its still owned/being run by the older woman who drives the Mercedes convertible with the license plate that says "Cap Kids" I would not enroll. She ran the the place to maximize profits without concern for the well being of the children and we had many issues as a result. Examples would be advancing kids to the next "level" room before they were ready (for example, moving a crawling 9 month old to the 12-18 month old room where all the kids were walking and stomping all over the child) in order move people up off the waitlist (maximum enrollment=maximum profit) when it was not developmentally appropriate for the child. I could go on but I will leave it there. Like I said, my child's time there is one of my biggest parenting regrets. But talk to current parents (or better yet, find parents who have recently left and talk to them).
