Once Upon a Childcare

We love the location of this daycare and the big tree covered play area. We appreciate how much our kids can be outside in nature during the day. All the staff is very friendly, and caring towards our kids.

Our son started here when he was 11 months old and he is now 20 months old. We have absolutely loved all of the teachers and administration. Our son is happy to go to school and excited to see his friends. He is clearly learning a lot, and they are sweet and kind and patient with him which we love. The outside space is lovely, and when the weather is warm enough it seems like they go outside regularly. They are responsive to any questions or concerns and the app is really nice to use. They send photos daily also. We plan to send our newborn here starting in a few weeks!

This day care exceeded all of my expectations, all the staff are amazing they take exceptional care of my son. I know when I drop my two-year-old off that he is going to be well taken care of and I have very little anxiety. They are in constant contact through their app, they send pictures throughout the day, they even work on potty training! They provide meals and the snacks which is a huge plus because it’s less to pack or worry about, they are very loving towards the children. I was very surprised to know that they even rocked my son for nap time because he has a hard time falling asleep on his own it is a very good daycare and I am extremely happy with them and will definitely refer them to others

We've been taking our 13-month old son to the Hampshire location since April. We moved him here after a few unsuccessful months at Kid City USA. We appreciated the immediate enrollment availability at OUAC and their transparent communication, which has been consistent during our time here. There is high turnover in staff, but it appears to be comparable to other centers. OUAC is very good about communicating staff changes when they occur. We love the effort teachers put into posting photos and videos throughout the week. The brief, honest updates we get during pickup about how our son did during the day are very helpful. Breakfast, lunch, and snack service is a huge plus! Keep up the good work.

Our daughter has been attending OUAC for three months and is in the Young Toddler (12-24 months) room. We appreciate that she gets lots of outside time and fun playtime with other kids. My daughter loves the food- she eats almost everything everyday! The teachers have been also really caring and supportive of my daughter as she transitioned to OUAC from another center.
