We've had a great experience so far! Love the updates throughout the day through Brightwheel, the welcoming atmosphere, just how CLEAN everything is, and how easy it is to get ahold of staff and teachers. It's been so nice that the teachers provide developmental updates even on the littlest kids -- it really seems like they care about each kiddo as if they were their own. I also love the open door policy, makes it so nice to just drop in to say hi throughout the day or pickup our baby early.
