Circle Child Care

My grandson is starting here in the next week and I couldn't be more excited for this! Love all the teachers there, they have taken care of all 3 of my children and that was 22 years ago! Highly recommend this place. It's safe, fun and the staff is kind! Can't wait to see how my favorite little dude does amd learns there! Thank you to all the staff ahead of time for willing to take great care of my little dude! ❤️

Excellent.

My son has been attending Circle Childcare since her was 3 (a year and a half ago) and it has been nothing short of an amazing experience. I'm not sure what this lady below me is talking about. I assume her son was in the 3 year old room, and that is where my son started! The teacher is wonderful! She makes it a point to greet you in the morning and leave messages with other staff regarding my child's day if she were not there! She implements a great curriculum in the fall and does more outside play (sprinkler, shaving cream slide and more) during the summer. There isn't an actual Circle time in the summer, the center likes to allow a lot of outside time in the summer as the children are inside a lot in the fall/winter. Not once in the year and a half my son has been there has he ever had a brownie for breakfast. He came home one day saying he had a brownie at breakfast. Like any other parent, I confronted his teacher and asked if they had brownies for breakfast. This was in fact not true. The children are served muffins that are made in a brownie pan and cut like brownies, so I can see he he would assume it was a brownie, but it was in fact a muffin. My son was constantly having dance parties, gross motor activities, fine motor experiences and anything you could want in a preschool program! His classroom walls are always filled with artwork, and all child appropriate materials are available to him and the other children whenever they want. Coloring is always a choice, and the children are free to choose from the writing/coloring materials at anytime. As far as the staff being on their phone, they use them for pictures to document the children's play and interactions. Yes, a digital camera is an option, but the children are not going to stand still for 10 minutes doing the same activity while we try to get the camera. It's easier to grab their phones and snap a picture. I have never had any issues with my son's childcare center, and any concerns have been addressed and figured out. The staff is amazing and I feel comfortable leaving my child there day after day! I also gave my son more then 2 days at the center before making judgements and assumptions of the center. My son has learned so much and I can't wait to see what he learns from here in the future!!

This is by far the worst childcare I have ever seen or experienced. My 3.5 year old son went for only two days before I pulled him out. On his first day he cried in a playhouse on the playground and no teacher came , only two children after a while to talk to him. When asked where the teachers were, he informed me they were under the umbrellas playing on their phones (which I witnessed myself on the second day, I watched the teachers for 10 minutes play on their phone and never lift their heads once) There is no circle time, no stories read to the kids, no arts, no songs. On the second day my son was fed a brownie for breakfast and never offered the oat cereal and raisins. He then had two accidents, which he never has (which I was never told about, and found them hidden in his back pack that night). He asked the teacher for crayons so he could color a picture for me, and she never got him the supplies or told them where to get them. It is worth 5 dollars more to send him somewhere with activities and actual interaction. I will never recommend this location.
