  • They are not flexible at all, I had an appointment so I was late for the drop off (9:30) and they didn’t accept my son. They don’t arrange the parents. Regarding the cleanliness I found many times spiders . Also, the playground in the parking was a safety concern for me. You pay their holidays and they change the schedule as they want.

  • My son has been here since just before he turned 2 (he's turning 5 this fall) and he's done so well. He's so happy at school, and I love to see him excited to see his teachers and friends. He is such a happy boy when he enters his classroom each day, and it's clear that he's well taken care of and engages in a variety of fun and enriching activities.

  • My son has been going to this daycare for about 6 months and we LOVE IT, so much so that I don’t mind the 25 minute drive each way! Teachers and admins are super communicative, both with updates about our child (food, diapers, naps, etc) and about center news as a whole (holidays, holiday events, community events, etc.) They also have a curriculum and are working on teaching my son skills on top of giving him a safe place to be while my husband and I work. Also really appreciate that they have 3 separate playgrounds and age-appropriate surfaces (so little ones don’t try to eat mulch!) I feel a great sense of comfort and relief knowing my son is in great hands and well cared for while at daycare.

  • My daughter has been coming here for almost 3 years. Since day 1, she has been happy and smiling at drop off and pick up. She had been at a different center prior to this and it was tears every single day- so we know she really loves it here! The only tears she has with The Children’s Den is when she doesn’t have daycare! They have a great curriculum with lots of singing and arts and crafts and there are 3 playgrounds for each age group. Some classrooms are accessible outside and some through an inside hallway. All are locked and you must ring a doorbell to be let in. Communication is through the Brightwheel app where we get photos, messages, and all documents/ payments are tracked. Check out the Facebook page for all the fun things happening!

  • We have had nothing but an amazing experience at daycare. It’s great for my son and daughter but also a great experience for parents as well. We know exactly what they’re doing throughout the day and love seeing the pictures as updates. I recommend The Children’s Den to everyone and wish all other daycares had the same care and support that they provide for our kids.

  • I’ve been so pleased with The Childrens Den for my daughters care, I wouldn’t trust anyone else watching her. As a first-time mom, I was nervous about leaving my daughter in someone else’s hands, but from the very beginning, the staff made me feel completely at ease. They are incredibly attentive, compassionate, and experienced in caring for babies. The caregivers are warm and patient, always ensuring my baby is comfortable and happy. They provide plenty of tummy time, sensory activities, and soothing routines, which I’ve seen really benefit my baby’s development. I also love the personalized attention they give, such as updates on naps, feeding schedules, and any milestones my daughter achieves throughout the day. The facility is clean and secure. I appreciate the extra effort they take in ensuring everything is safe and hygienic, especially with such young children. I am so grateful for the peace of mind that The Children’s Den gives me. It’s comforting to know that my infant is in such caring hands. I am really happy with this daycare and I would recommend sending your child here.
