Downtown Babies has a mixed reputation around town and seems to be pretty polarized. Either folks love it or they say that's it;s not worth the money. We would fall into the latter bucket. Unfortunately all we heard was good reviews until we actually had our baby there. Now that we've been looking for a new care facility we have started to hear from some of the other folks in the business that they have heard some of the similar things we have been telling them. Perhaps Downtown is better with the older children but the infant care is definitely not worth the money they charge ($860). If you want ""zone"" coverage where no one takes responsibility for the care of your child and when asked about it says well that wasn't my fault. If you want to walk in and see your baby playing by himself in the middle of a room with no interaction. If you want folks that can't follow simple instructions as to when to feed your baby and when to put them down for naps. If you like to drop your child off in the morning and see them already short staffed for the day. If you don't care that you may pick your baby up lying in clothes soaked with milk that has come back up or get there to change his diaper and find that not everyone there knows how to properly clean when changing a diaper. If all of this is worth $860 to you well then have at it. Don't get me wrong Downtown babies is definitely a safe environment and you don't have to worry about your baby's welfare but for $860 one should expect a little more than a nap and feeding facility. It appears that most of the $860 gets chewed up in the rent because of the location.
Pros: Location
Cons: Low Value, Limited Personal Attention, Lack of responsibility
