Hellobee Boards

They provide diapers, wipes, and formula/meals! I love this.

There is a fish tank on one of the dividing walls so you can peek into the room when you arrive and see your baby before they know you are there. LO is always being held or tended to anytime I've peeked in.

I've never heard a baby crying! I don't know how they manage to keep everyone happy all at the same time, but they do!

The drop off and pick up is always seamless.

When she had diaper rash, they voluntarily changed her every 30 minutes and applied fresh diaper cream every time.

They are open 6:30 AM - 6:30 PM so we have ample time in the morning to drop her off and ample time in the evening to pick her up. With our long commutes, we need almost that entire window!

She has a big plethora of toys and gear to use while she is there, so we don't have to buy it, store it, or worry about finding a place for it in our home.

They keep kids all the way through elementary school (and take to and from school in the mornings and afternoons if necessary) so we can keep her there for years to come if we wish!

Things I love:

- The teachers and all the staff. Everyone knows us by first name, not just E’s teachers. All the teachers really know the children’s personalities, they really care about each child. It shows.

- The food. The snacks are premade things (like cheese, crackers, yogurt, etc.) but the main dishes are all made in house from scratch. They never serve things like processed chicken nuggets, and try to serve a wide variety of flavors like lasagna, teriyaki baked chicken, soups, etc.

- The building is very secure. There is a locked entryway, and you need an electronic keycard to get into the building. Makes me feel safer.

- They send out an email with pictures every day that lets us know what LO and her little buddies were up to while I was at work. They catch her sly smiles and grins, and getting that e mail is always the highlight of my day.

- They get even the youngest infants participating in projects. They make art a few times a week, read every day, go out on buggy rides when the weather is nice, play outside if it’s nice out. I love all the learning things they do.

1. The teachers really love the kids.
2. The structure and curriculum.
3. They daycare is well run and makes every parent feel special and included.
4. They are open 6:30 a.m. - 6:30 p.m.
5. They have Parent Night Outs once a month (we don't use, but it's nice to have available)
6. They try really hard to be accomodating. DS struggles with naps at daycare and they have really tried to work with him on this.
7. LO loves his teachers and is very happy there! (this is most important item)
