Hetty's has been amazing for me and my kids. The hours are great for working families and their communication via the app is wonderful. I love receiving pictures, videos and messages throughout the day to see what they are doing. The day is very structured and they experience all types of fun experiences in both academics and real world. Most of all, I love how my children are treated and cared for and celebrated for who they are! They never come home dirty or missing items (which is unheard of in the daycare world). If you're on the wait list, it's worth the wait!

In regards to Rayna Ryan's comment: Rayna, You must be recalling your experience at the previous childcare center your little one attended prior to joining us Hetty's Brilliant Minds. We prioritize the safety and well-being of all the children in our care and want to acknowledge that we've never had any allergy incidents in our center, and we take extensive measures to maintain a safe environment for all children. To provide further clarification, at Hetty's Brilliant Minds, we have implemented a policy where parents are responsible for providing all food and snacks for their children. This approach ensures that we can cater to each child's specific dietary needs and preferences. In our infant room (the room your child was in), we prioritize the well-being of our young and vulnerable children by not allowing dairy or any high-risk allergens. This precaution is taken as the children in our infant room are still consuming formula and have not yet reached the age of 12 months this is the age they consume milk and this is when they transition to the toddler room. In the toddler room, parents have the option to bring solid foods and dairy products.

I sent my son to Hetty's Brilliant mind back in March. He is now ten months old. He loves it there, and so does my family. The app they use is brilliant. I can go to work with peace of mind knowing my son is in the best care. The app lets you know how much he ate, napped, and what new milestone he conquered. There are also plenty of pictures, and the teachers communicate with me throughout the day. There was never a moment I couldn't get ahold of them through the app. They are professional, clean, and safe. I can't see myself sending my son anywhere else.

Please stay clear of this daycare. My infant child was fed dairy despite me making the center aware of his allergy and proving that information upon enrollment. I was told the staff was new and didn’t read his chart. Could absolutely be life threatening to another child
