  We've been sending our son here since he was 18 months. He loves the toddler program! Great school and very convenient for students and staff at Buff State.

  My grandchild was injured within the first hour of being there. She had to be rushed to the hospital with internal injuries. They did not watch my grandchild and they don't care about yours or your children

  I am so upset about our experience there. We trusted our daughter's safety their care. We received notification that she was crawling and a staff member opened a door, hitting her in the head. We are removing our daughter from the daycare. Also, her supervisor who couldn't be bothered to even look at me when she was signing the incident report. Do not take your children there.

  Brought my son here today for a walk-thru and left very disappointed. Instead of focusing on how they could support him, the staff compared him to other kids his age and even made a comment like “he isn’t talking yet” when introducing him to the other staff. The lady also made another comment to the effect of “the other kids are able to do XYZ and they’re all his age.” She also repeatedly asked me about an evaluation. Now this wasn’t a teacher and I just want to add that I have a freaking doctorate in clinical psychology so who was she to continue to ask me about an evaluation when I’m pretty sure she wasn’t even a teacher? There were also several other questions that made me feel like my son was reduced to a milestone. When I raised my concern that it sounded like they didn’t feel he was a good fit, the response was vague. I feel the lady didn’t want to come out and refuse my son directly but the vibe was definitely off. I did state, to be fair, that my 2 year old isn’t able to line up or follow directions like the other 2 year olds seemed to be doing and may need more attention. They were honest about the ratio of teachers to toddlers. If you’re looking for a daycare that truly embraces kids for where they are while helping them grow this doesn’t seem like place.
