| Great daycare!! I enrolled my child there in Sept 2011 when he was less than a year and I loved their open door policy! I was so happy to have found them, after having been to another daycare where my son would cry the entire time he was there! At Tutor Time it was the opposite!!! Great from the start! They let me come in and breastfeed during the day, if I had a break from work, and my husband would go visit our son at lunch time and was sometimes even able to put him down for his afternoon nap himself! It felt like an extension of home and not a faraway place where my son had to be for many hours of the day. Open door policy also means you get to know other parents and the children your baby spends so many hours with (we loved that!). For my son the transition to the daycare was seamless thanks to their flexibility and the effort to work with parents to find solutions to anything that may come up. The caregivers tend to change fairly frequently, but my son was lucky to have the same great caregivers for the entire time he was there! The staff is great, very friendly and open. If you want to take time, you can really get to know everybody and it helps you feel comfortable knowing your baby is cared by people you trust. The food is not super healthy (fruit is mostly from cans and not fresh and they tend to warm up frozen food - they don't have a full kitchen to be able to make food from scratch), but it is varied and balanced and is provided (unlike other daycare that expect you to pack lunches). And they do learn a lot! Compared to other babies that stayed home with nannies, it felt that my son was light years ahead of them in mobility, verbal and all other skills. He learned to feed himself with a spoon before age one and to sit at the table and eat politely with others by 14 months. Finally, it's on the high end of the price range. But if you can afford it, it is definitely worth it! Highly recommended. |
