Author: Diamond Cottrell Rating: 5/5 Date: 5/17/2024, 3:08:37 AM Review: I don’t think I’ve ever written a review that makes me as emotional as this one. This is the BEST facility my children have ever been to. I have absolutely NOTHING negative to say and that’s rare 😆! The staff is amazing and always friendly from the front door to the back of the school. Your children will be LOVED, educated, and will always be safe. I had a child that would not stay with anyone, but he adjusted to the team here and he loves it. I am deeply saddened to be moving my children because of a relocation, but I will forever brag about their services, diversity (very important to me), and their kindness. Kara: The sweetest director and loving person. I’ve never received a negative attitude or a day where she seems to hate work. She is always doing her job and engaging with the kids like a regular teacher. It was so nice experiencing her kindness. My children adore her. Reagan: Assistant director—— She is very personable and a multitasker all in one breath. She is always ready to fill in where there may be shortages and she’s ready and motivated to cook meals for our children daily. We appreciate you. You truly have to love your job to do what you do. A mother of four children who still comes to work everyday to take care of everyone else’s children. This says enough about her character!! Thank you Ms. Annie: 3 YO classroom—- if you want old school, organized, & disciplined toddlers you can count on her for that. She is stern, yet gentle, and really good at what she does. She is a gem and we can never thank her enough. Ms. Stefani: 3 YO classroom: She is the sunshine to any cloudy day. She has such a beautiful aura and personality to deal with children. She’s soooo sweet and my difficult toddler loves her very much. I do want to add that Ms. Annie and Stefani both went above and beyond to take good care of my child’s glasses during play time and to always cover his hair when he had a new hair style that I didn’t want ruined by the sand. It takes a special person to listen and enforce every request you make for your children & everyone else’s as well. They did this effortlessly all year! Mrs. Bree: VPK LEAD teacher has a very creative and imaginative mind that the children love. She had very good control over her class and the children listen to her well. She is always going above and beyond for the kids to be happy and to encourage parent participation. I appreciate your hard work this year. Ms. Tiffani: VPK ASSISTANT teacher has always been so loving and warm since the start of VPK… she jumped right in and was ready to help Mrs. Bree with the children. She was very sweet to my child when my child was not always sweet to her. She allowed things that may have been hurtful, to roll off her back. She never took anything personal, nor did she allow anything the children did, change how she treated them. Thank you Ms. Tiffani Ms. Kelsie: After school teacher—we only got to experience her for a short time, but she jumped right in the battle and made her mark like a veteran. She built relationships with both of my children rather quickly. They enjoy her and I’m grateful for the kindness she shared as well. She keeps the kids engaged in arts and crafts and she’s always ready for outdoor fun. I think this covers all of my children’s personal interactions with staff. I’ve only observed the infant to 2YO classrooms in passing. The children are always well-kept and monitored closely. They love on the babies like their own. The one and only “complaint” I have, is that darn SANDBOX!! I hate it 🤣🤣!!! The kids love it though and I’m sure it makes the day better for the team. If you’re wondering if you should send your children here, you should!!! This isn’t a paid review! This is from the heart. I don’t play about my children. I had no reason at all to be worried or get upset this school year due to staff behavior or mistreatment. They exceeded my expectations. Great job #150!!! ----- Author: Victoria Martinez Rating: 5/5 Date: 5/13/2024, 8:30:07 PM Review: LOVE LOVE LOVE Childcare Network GB and their staff! We previously came here and the 180 this place has done is AMAZING! The staff loves my babies like their own! Everyone is always so sweet and helpful! They always make my kids feel welcome and safe! My kids love them all! The building has gone and is going through so many improvements—WOW! I cannot recommend Childcare Network enough to anyone looking for childcare!

I cannot say enough good things about this Childcare Network. I also have 0 negative things to say. They are incredible . My daughter has gone here since she was 1.5 years old and she’s now still there in pre-k. They are organized, kind, helpful, and most of all, they love our kids. They go above and beyond to give our kids the experience of a lifetime. See some pics here of activity examples of things they do. Not to mention, they have visitors come for the kids, Adam’s sanitation, the fire dept, dentists, etc. I am sooooo blessed to have a spot here for my child

Finding good, safe childcare is always a concern. I could not have been happier with the experience we had at this particular Childcare Network. My child was very attached to her teachers, always excited to go there, and very sad on her last day there. The staff was always professional and available when needed.

I removed my son after they falsely accused me of harming my son, twice. This facility allows children to throw cups of sand in other kids faces(while the unqualified attendants sit there with their faces in their iPad, I watched it first hand) and when confronted the incompetent employee said “they all do that” as if that would excuse serious eye damage. They also claimed my aunt had put out cigarettes on her grandkids when they simply have a skin condition. I’ve had to make several comments about how their rooms smell like urine.

Childcare Network made my transition from being home with my baby girl for 5 months then deciding to return to Nursing greater than I could have ever asked for. The director and teachers are so personable and down to earth. Seeing how happy my baby is when I drop her off and pick her, has given me SUCH a peace of mind. When you’re a mom for the first time, you really need that. I love how they have an app and constantly send you updates of when they eat, have been changed, what activities they are doing, pictures, and so much more. The school is actually making sure your little one is meeting their milestones. I could honestly go on and on. I am just glad to see how happy my baby is when she is dropped off, making other baby friends, and knowing she is in safe hands!!!

I absolutely love Childcare Network. I started my daughter at 6 weeks and it was very hard for me to let her go so young but they have done nothing but show her love as if she was their own. They are very loving with both of my children. I absolutely love it.

My baby started attending Childcare Network at 8 weeks old. As a working mother, I struggled with leaving my baby in someone else's care, but I could not be happier with this daycare. Her teachers, Joni and Stephanie, are wonderful! My baby has torticollis, which makes it difficult for her to turn her head to the left. Before I even mentioned it to them, they noticed the problem and asked if I would like for them to stretch her neck while she's at daycare. They are very observant and play a big role in helping my daughter reach new developmental milestones. We chose Childcare Network mainly because of the certification process that each teacher goes through. It is evident that they are held to high standards. Thank you, Childcare Network!
