First Years Early Childhood

Passionate owners, and a great facility! Not only my experience but my kids experience with First Years is glowing. The environment is like no other daycare in town. The classrooms are so cute and creative! And frequent stops from Elmo and Bert and Ernie are just a few of the many reasons my kids never wanted to leave when I picked them up. Highly recommended! more

I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT OUR EXPERIENCE WITH FIRST YEARS! I KNEW SEVERAL FAMILIES THAT HAD SENT THEIR KIDS THERE, AND THEY GAVE THEM PRETTY HIGH MARKS! WE HAVE TO SAY THAT WE ARE VERY PLEASED WITH OUR DECISION TO SEND OUR KIDS THERE AS WELL. OUR KIDS ARE WELL-CARED FOR, AND THEY ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO GOING TO SCHOOL THERE. THAT IS A SIGN OF EXCELLENCE TO US! THEY ARE LEARNING SO MUCH, AND LOVE THEIR TEACHERS! WE FIND THE STAFF TO BE DELIGHTFUL AND VERY ACCOMODATING! AFTER MEETING WITH THE DIRECTOR, WE HAD A REAL SENSE OF THE INTEGRITY AND LOVE THAT SHE HAS FOR THE CHILDREN AND HER SCHOOL. I KNEW THEN,THAT THIS WAS THE RIGHT FIT FOR OUR FAMILY. THE SCHOOL IS CLEAN AND ORDERLY, AND THE STAFF MEMBERS ARE NICE AND ATTENTIVE. THE SMILES ON OUR LITTLE ONES FACES SAY IT ALL!!! 5 STAR RECOMMENDATION ALL THE WAY! *****THANK YOU SO MUCH FIRST YEARS!!! more

Highly recommend NO ONE bring his or her child here. My 13 month old son attended this daycare for one day and one day only. His first day started with his teacher not welcoming him on HIS FIRTST DAY. He was uneasy about the new surrounds and she did absolutely nothing to comfort him and make him feel safe. I don?t even think she looked at him crying on the floor. My mother picked him up from First Years about 2:15pm and saw a gash on his eye. She then proceeded to question the teacher on what happened. The teacher explained that one of the kids scratched his eye but it was an accident. My mother left the facility and immediately called me to let me know about the gash. I was highly upset because according to the office manager it?s their policy to inform parents of injuries on the head and face. I examined the gash on his eye and came to the conclusion that my son was not going to return to the daycare. Not because of the gash but the fact that I was not informed about the incident and it being his first day and all. I called the office manager the next morning and explained what happened and that my son would not be attending the daycare anymore. The office manager later contacted me with details about the incident. She called it an investigation. According to her the teacher said she did not tell my mother that a child scratched his eye by accident but that she told my mother she just noticed it and he must have scratched himself when he was taking his nap. So they are calling my mother a liar. I wasn?t informed about the gash because the teacher just noticed it, but it happened during his nap that lasted from 10:15am ? 12:15am. My mother picked him up for 2:15pm. So this means according to their story the teacher didn?t bother caring for my child for two hours to not have noticed a ? inch gash on his eye. The director of course took up for her employees. I am so extremely happy I decided to take him out on this disgusting facility because of the continuous lies and the filthiness of the daycare. This daycare really STINKS. The odor was on my son?s clothes that were immediately changed when he got home. The carpets are stained. The walls are disgusting. I would never recommend this daycare to anyone. more

My kids ages 6 months and 1 1/2 at the time, went to this day care for a few months before we moved and they loved going. When your kids beg to stay at the end of the day, I know this is the right place for them. The teachers were great. I have recommended this daycare to friends who still live in the area and if I were to ever move back, I would definitely bring my kids again. The only thing I didn't like (but not enough to matter) is that breakfast was not provided but the rest was wonderful! Pros: Great With My Kids more

8/2/11 Pros: Professional and very caring school more

IT ALWAYS SMELLS UNPLEASENT IN THE DAYCARE. WORKERS ARE NOT RELIABLE IN TRANSFERRING IMPORTANT INFORMATON ON CHILDREN (EX. CERTAIN FOODS CAUSING ALLERGIC REACTIONS) NOTHING SEEMS TO BE SANITIZED. TOYS ARE DIRTY. Pros: FRIENDLY STAFF Cons: UNCLEAN more
