  • Let me start by stating that my child does not go to this daycare, and after what I saw today, I wouldn't want them to. I rode along with my friend to pick up her kid today, and in one room I witnessed 1 worker, with like 10 kids. I'm not familiar with how daycares work, but that looked, and sounded, like a LOT. I honestly felt really bad for the worker. At that moment, I couldn't see anyone else in the building who could've been helping her.

  • My almost 3 year old has been attending Tradition's Children's Center for a year now. We know the staff well and they are excellent. There has recently been some management changes and the center continues to improve all the time. My son started in the 2 year old room which he absolutely loved. He is now in the 3 year old room and gets a thrill every day going to "school" here. He is engaged in age appropriate activities all day. The new director, Megan is wonderful and truly cares about the staff and all of the children. My son will continue to attend Tradition's Children's Center for as long as possible. It is a loving, caring center that truly values parent input and nurturing each child.

  • Horrible childcare center to hide what was done to that poor little girl. The video I am referring to has been shared over a hundred times, you cannot tell me they didn't know about it. Knowingly terrifying such a young child is despicable behavior, and the fact that it was shared goes to show the maturity of the staff kept on hand. If this is how they hire/train their staff, I cant even imagine what happens on a daily basis. Absolutely sickening that some place charged with protecting such young children, can allow this sort of behavior to happen. I can only hope the parents are made aware of what happened, and it is made right...if that can even happen at this stage.

  • Horrendous place to send your children. There was recently a video posted from staff members holding a young child under a plastic tote outside. In the video you can hear her terrified screaming, and the people holding the tote down, and videoing the event, laughing as the child screams. I know this little girl personally. Being special needs, this goes above and beyond a 'joke' and is FAR from funny. Parents were not notified of this AT ALL. We only know because of the viral video. DHS and local police have been notified. I can only hope this is made right!! Absolutely sickening. DO NOT send your children here!

  • Traditions has been like a second family to us for the past 9 years. Both of our daughters have attended since they were 3 months old and the teachers at the center truly know and love our girls. The various programs (before-and after school care, preschool, summer) are very well-run but ultimately it's the teachers, and the wonderful director, who make this center what it is - they are the BEST. I'll be sad to say goodbye one day when our girls age out of the daycare system. Traditions has been one of the best parenting decisions we ever made.
