Recent parent reviews

  • After having numerous recommendations for CDW, and hearing that they had an open availability, we were excited to tour the campus. I reached out the the enrollment specialist to double check the availability and set up a tour and double check with the assistant director about the open availability as well. Both were very helpful and answered all our questions and reassured us that there was open availability. They let us know that once we registered, there would be someone who handles the scheduling reaching out to us with the offer. We followed the process, signed up, paid for the registration fee ($150) and waited for the offer to enroll our child. Heres where things went south. The open availability they stated, was not flexible. It didnt align with our schedule or what we could work around. I went back and forth with the schedule for a week and not until I push for a refund did they really looked into the schedule and offer what we had asked for. It still didnt work since it would still have been weeks later than what we needed. While this place may be great, their schedule is not flexible and you need to bend over backwards to accommodate to them.

  • Our family loves CDW at play. My child is excited to go every day and loves his teachers. I have the peace of mind that my child is being cared for in a nurturing way and is in a space where he is given opportunities that are developmentally appropriate. We are thankful to have found a place where I have confidence and trust in the staff!

  • I used CDW@Play for drop in care for my son who hadn't been in childcare before. The teachers did a great job getting to know him and helping him adjust to the environment. They kept me updated on how he was doing throughout the day. I knew he was in good hands in a safe, fun environment.

  • We enrolled our 3 year old son at Bright Horizons back in April'22. It has been a very positive experience since then. He enjoys going there every morning. This is a welcoming and safe environment for our boy.

  • I cannot say enough positive things about CDW at Play Child Care Center! From the teaching staff to the administration, the entire experience has been wonderful for myself and my 3 year old. The center has a very personal and welcoming feel right when you walk in, and continues with the teaching staff. Everyone is extremely approachable and communication on how your kiddo is doing is outstanding! I would highly recommend CDW at Play to any family looking for a safe, welcoming, and healthy environment with fantastic teachers who care!
