Children's Land On Belmont Ave., INC.

We’ve been at Children's Land on Belmont for a while now and honestly, the cleanliness is what keeps me coming back. You know how daycares can get that weird smell? This place doesn't have it. My daughter is in the toddler group and I've seen the staff constantly wiping down surfaces and toys, which is a huge relief during flu season. They seem pretty strict about their sick policy too—if a kid has a fever, they actually have to stay home, which helps keep the 'daycare plague' from spreading to everyone else. The communication about health stuff is solid, and I haven't seen any of the red flags like mold or pests that you hear about in some other city spots. It’s a well-run, hygienic environment for the little ones.

We've been at Children's Land on Belmont for about six months now and honestly, the health stuff is pretty solid. The place always smells clean when I drop off, not like that sour milk smell you get at some daycares. They are super strict about the 24-hour fever-free rule which can be a pain when you have to work, but it definitely keeps the revolving door of stomach bugs at bay. Communication is usually just a quick message through their app if something is going around the classroom. Only downside is the outdoor play area is a bit small, so I wish they got more fresh air time during flu season, but overall it's a safe, healthy spot for my toddler.
