Rainforest Learning Center, INC.

To be honest, I’m pretty frustrated with the situation at Rainforest. It feels like every other week my kid is coming home with some new bug because the sick-child policy is super lax—parents definitely drop off their kids when they're visibly unwell, and the staff doesn't really push back. The space itself at 4725 N Western is really tight, and with so many little ones packed into that storefront area, germs just spread like wildfire. Communication about 'what is going around' is almost non-existent until half the class is out. I get that daycare is a germ factory, but it feels like they’re struggling to keep up with the cleaning and the student-to-teacher ratio seems high for an early childhood setting. Definitely not the healthiest environment right now.

I really wanted to love this place because it's convenient, but I’ve been pretty frustrated with the health environment lately. It feels like every other week there's a new bug going around the classroom and I’m not sure if the cleaning protocols are actually being followed or if they're just short-staffed. My little one has come home with more 'mystery' sniffles than I can count, and the communication about when kids should stay home is super inconsistent. It’s hard to feel confident as a parent when you feel like the facility isn't being 100% transparent about illness outbreaks until half the class is already out sick.
