  • Sauganash School for the Young Years is okay, but it’s definitely an 'average' experience for our family. The facility being in a lower level/basement area always makes me a little paranoid about the ventilation and natural light for the kids, though I will say the teachers do a decent job of keeping the actual rooms looking clean. They seem to follow the standard sick-child policies, but communication can be a bit hit or miss when a bug is going around the classroom. It doesn't feel like they go above and beyond with wellness programs or anything fancy, but it's a safe, functional spot if you need local care and aren't looking for a high-end wellness-focused curriculum.

  • Sauganash School for the Young Years is pretty middle-of-the-road when it comes to the health side of things. It’s located in the lower level of a building on Peterson Ave, so I was initially a bit worried about the ventilation and natural light for the kids, but it’s kept relatively clean. They seem to follow the standard daycare protocols for handwashing and disinfecting toys, though things can feel a bit cramped when the classes are full. Communication about when a bug is going around the classroom is okay, but not always the fastest. It’s a decent neighborhood spot, but I haven't seen anything that really goes 'above and beyond' in terms of wellness programs or health initiatives.
