Worst expertise we’ve ever had with daycares. My 2 only lasted there maybe 11 weeks. They lack proper childcare and behavioral health training. They don’t allow the children to use the bathroom when they need too. “They have set times”. They cover every situation up. Staff attitudes at drop off and pickup are extremely unacceptable. They refuse to provide photos to back up their behavioral write ups on the children. They make ur child seem so bad that they request u seek behavioral therapy for them. They suspend the children yes I said it CHILDREN constantly just bc they can. They lack adult staff supervision in both the 2yr old and 3-5 yr old class rooms. They terminate children for no reason just bc they can as they have their favorite picks. They also send kids home for fevers they don’t have and if u pick them up and check them In front of them they deny the fevers and say they had 3 loose stool in an hour instead and it’s policy to send them home. Not to mention, when u confront staff for how they treat ur children and u witness it, they deny it to ur face…… when addressed only thing parents get told is I’ll address it with the staff but nothing ever changes.

Love this place . Several options to get healthy. And if you have questions you have a great staff that will answer questions.

(Daycare)2 year olds expected to act like 5 year olds in a large class size of 20 with two teachers. Current director was disrespectful to parents. Teachers seemed to mean well, but overwhelmed due to large ratio or inexperience. Unable to effectively teach spirited children. Very poor experience from what we believed to be a solid company. In contrast, the infant teacher was great! Older lady who absolutely loves the babies.

Been coming here for a few weeks now and this place is awesome. It has everything you could need in a smaller scale. The building is literally a part of history, but the inside is so nice. I love the atmosphere as well, everyone is super nice and inviting and you never feel out of place. I’m shy, and it’s hard to try new things, but walking into the fitness classes people are welcoming and the instructors go out of their way to make sure everyone is doing well during class and meeting their goals. I never feel awkward or as if people in the room with you are making everything a competition or judging you like the vibe you get at bigger gyms. You can completely be yourself!! It’s very family oriented as well. Lots of children and teens having fun too! The pools are great, love the fitness classes, and the lower level has women’s and men’s locker rooms equipped with everything. The sauna is great, and I love the full counter with blow dryers, and the showers are very convenient and clean. For like $27 dollars a month (I’m 25 - young adult rate) it’s so worth it in my opinion. The hours are great as well. Very thankful I found this place!

Get rid of the cats, its a question of public health in a public place. If you get inspected, they will shut you down just for keeping animals in there. Cleanliness could be somewhat improved too. Fix the roof who is leaking trough out the building, the suspended track could be structurally unsound and repair/change the equipment that need maintenance or is old. All of this is a question of budgeting and management...
