  • I honestly wanted to love this place because it's convenient, but I’ve been really stressed with the health situation lately. The building itself is pretty old and the ventilation feels really stuffy, which isn't great during flu season. It feels like every time my kid goes back after being sick, they pick up something else immediately—there's just not enough space for the kids and they are constantly on top of each other. I also rarely see the staff wiping down the shared toys or high-traffic areas when I'm there for pickup. Communication about when a bug is going around the classroom is pretty hit or miss too. It’s tough because the staff is nice, but for what we pay, it should definitely be cleaner and less crowded.
