My neice went to Kids Place for many years and was very happy there. My own daughter attended several times as they do have a drop in program if they have the proper medical forms submitted. The teachers seemed friendly and it was a clean environment. The only reason why this is not a higher rating is because of several safety factors I saw when visiting. I was more aware of these factors because I have prior experience in daycare. The front desk was often left unattended so anyone could walk in the center and have access to any area or children. In addition, I saw too many age groups combined at the beginning and the end of the day. (I realize this was probably a staffing issue, but it still is not good practice) Finally, I saw staff walk out of rooms to talk to other staff in the hallway. Children should never be left unattended when they are being paid to provide care.
