Once Upon A Childcare

I went in for a daycare tour and overall the daycare looked good and seemed nice. However, I felt uncomfortable because the staff member giving the tour kept staring at my hair/chest area instead of maintaining normal eye contact. I’m sure her intentions weren’t bad, but it made the interaction awkward and unprofessional.

We love OUAC! My son has been going to the Vickers location for the past year and loves everyone there. His teachers and the staff really care about each child. Everyone who works there knows him by name. They do art projects, reading time, and have taught him sign language! The facility is clean and welcoming with art from the kids hanging up. The holiday events are so much fun for the littles. Highly recommend OAUC!

I simply cannot say enough wonderful things about this facility! I am a first time mom and my daughter has been in this daycare for a little over a year now. Like all moms, I was terrified to send my small 11 week old baby to daycare with strangers. But from the tour until now, OUAC has been nothing short of amazing. They prioritize my daughter's health and safety, all of the teachers are kind and show personalized love and care for my daughter, and the directors genuinely value me, my husband, and my daughter. I toured one other daycare and could tell within seconds that OUAC was the place for us. We are always heard, understood and respected. My daughter leaps out of our arms when she gets here because she is so excited for her day. I recommend OUAC to any mom, dad, family who is nervous about the care they will receive at daycare. Their service and attentiveness is second to none. We love everyone at OUAC!

Our 2-year old twin boys have been with OUAC for a year now, and they've flourished since starting. The daily programming is structured and includes the basics, plus art, music, sensory work, ASL, play time, etc. Our boys look forward to going every day. There is some turnover with staff, as is to be expected, but the teachers/aides are attentive and engaged. The app they use is great and they plan fun gatherings/days all the time. Highly recommend!

I have had two kiddos in OUAC at both the popes bluff location and at Vickers from 2019-current. Both my kids have a great time and always love their classroom teachers. The staff seem to be around for a long time which helps with familiarity and making it a place that I feel comfortable. My almost 9 year old still remembers how much fun she had at “circle” school and I still keep in touch with a few teachers, even those who are no longer working for the center. I also appreciate their holiday gatherings for the families and their app they update daily so I know what’s going on each day. I always recommend them to family and friends!
