The Learning Lodge 2

Terrible director and owner. Some staff are great, others not so much. They also delete their reviews apparently so they can have a good rating on the site. 1. Place is filthy. Even when they abruptly took a 4 day weekend last minute in the name of cleaning, the next week nothing was clean and my babies still came home with super dirty clothes from crawling around there. 2. Plan for daycare to shut down early or close some random days last minute so hope you have back up sitter and like paying two different people for care you should get. 3. Gave us two weeks notice that they are terminating care for our children due to ‘not meeting our standards’ of feeding our babies. But decided that last day would be a Thursday but yet charged me for the full week. 4. They know everyone is desperate for childcare right now so their go to answer when you bring anything up is, well then find another place instead of trying to fix or compromise on the issues.

I was pretty terrified of how the experience would be. I was only there for my TDY and didn't like that I had to take my little one off post, but I explained everything to the staff and they took him in with open arms. The experience was great! I loved that I got pictures throughout the day and they detail everything through the app. It really put me at ease. It's an older building so, that may be a turning point for some. I was honestly hesitant at first, but glad that I made the choice. The only "negative" thing that I can say is that I was quoted $10 less when I called and I didn't know about the start up fee, but the experience made none of that matter for me in the end. I would highly recommend and I'll definitely be bringing my little one back if I'm ever TDY there again.

Terrible experience. I was desperate for daycare as we just moved in and all good daycares didn’t have spot until next 6 months. Place is dirty, filthy. Our babies were coming back all dirty every day. They randomly shut down, conveniently making it long weekends. They have no idea how to operate in covid times. They don’t follow CDC nor National Academy of Pediatrics. They make up their own rules not approved by any medical professionals. There are two buildings and they are having infants with all toddlers in one room in the mornings, it’s a mayhem there. Front door is locked with a doorbell but back door remains open. Somebody can just go and take your baby anytime. They don’t put effort feeding babies. On several occasions they reported my baby ate 1oz out of 7oz 2-3 times in a row in one day. I have a twins and taking them through door in carseats is a challenge. Teachers there has never (I mean never) helped me with handling the door. Some parents holding their own babies helped while staff was sitting down looking at us. Every time I brought some issue the owner’s response was that we can take babies off knowing that it is not easy to find a sitter so fast. Don’t bother with them. They will definitely try to delete this. It’s a mess.

Honestly I was extremely anxious when I needed to put my daughter in a daycare facility (while only 6 months old mind you) and the number one thing I made sure to do TO MAKE THE STAFF'S LIVES EASIER BECAUSE THEY ARE HUMAN AND TRY NOT TO MAKE MISTAKES is to make sure to label YOUR baby's items with their name. After a couple of weeks my daughter warmed up to an amazing teacher (Miss Janice) and became best of friends!! Not only did they teach her how to share but also how to crawl and even stand! The whole staff and director(s) are amazing people and I'm so lucky that we found them!

Great staff! They made it so comfortable for me to leave my daughter here and I’m a first time parent! They have a app that updates you daily and it’s great! Highly recommend!
