Review content: 
People put reviews to share their experience as third parties that might be helpful for others who are looking for the right place. What I see here is that the comments that parents have placed to share their experiences, clearly varies from family to family. What I do see in common is that all the parents who have written, including the first one ConcerningParent, are not emphasizing the snow policy as the issue. I don't understand why the staff has commented so much on the snow policy when the important issue, which ConcernedParent and Candidmom emphasized, is the multiple weeks closed, half days, no lunches, etc, that are clearly not apparent to all parents. Some parents who have commented below say that they read the handbook and the half days, weeks closed, are all in the handbook. But several other parents confimed that these closings are not in fact in the handbook (I'm not talking about the snow policy, a moot point). This is an opportunity for the center to improve it their communications and create a more welcoming environment for feedback rather than be exclusively defensive. Perhaps that's why parents aren't feeling welcome to express their concerns at the center? On the one hand, some parents are told that the Handbook includes everything you need to know about BY's policies, which really does not cover all. On the other hand, some parents are lucky to get 3 calendar hand outs and be aware of the closures 3 times. There needs to be better communication. Finally, for the purposes of sharing my view for readers, it's true that other quality centers give teachers the time they deserve off without burdening parents and closing for multiple weeks. They have back up staff, rotate, or other method that they develop. BY lacks this so it's imporant to know in advance. It is a wonderful place in many ways, don't get me wrong, but there seems to be inconsistency at the policy communciation level, certainly not by the teachers, who are wholeheartedly great. Pros: Teachers are loving Cons: Inconsistent communication for the high price you pay
