One of my favorite things about WFG is the small town, family feel. I have made so many friends with the staff since choosing this daycare in fall of 2018. I was so worried about sending my daughter to a daycare in a bigger town. I was afraid my daughter would just get lost in the sea of children. But my daughter has been taken care of so well. She is 10 months old and she has never cried when I dropped her off. I feel like that alone says all I need to know really. In fact, she gets so excited when I get her out of her carseat every morning. She starts smiling so big and waving at everyone as we walk the halls to her snuggle bunnies room. Sometimes I feel like she is waving at the building itself too! πŸ˜‚ The staff is so caring and understanding. Of course they are not perfect. No person or system is! But if you ever have a problem I know for a fact if you discuss your concerns with Brenda she will take care of them as soon as humanly possible. I have sat and nursed my daughter and have seen and heard parents and staff come to Brenda with complaints, concerns, questions, advice, or just to chit chat!! That woman is one of the most amazing people I have met. She has so much on her plate, both professionally and personally, but I have seen her handle it like a champ many times over. She takes care of business and balances all the day to day tasks along with the problems of scheduling (sick teachers, teachers with classes or meetings not related to work or dr appts etc), kids biting or acting out, having breakdowns, or other accidents. Or the rare times where a teacher just doesn't do their job. She handles all that so professionally and with the safety of our children being the number one concern! I have and will continue to recommend WFG to friends, new parents, uber/Lyft drivers, and my customers at work! I have even had friends switch from other daycares to WFG. And their only regret is that they waited so long to switch! I could honestly go on and on and on about Brenda and Kristine and the rest of the staff at WFG. But I dont think anyone wants to read a message that long. Cause if you have kids, you probably don't have the time! πŸ˜‚ I love WFG and I will be so sad the day Rheya doesn't attend there! These are a few of the pictures I have received from daycare. They always update me after a change of clothes, an incident, or if she just isn't acting like her normal self. Makes me feel more involved, like I am not away from her 6-9 hours every single day! Thank you Brenda and Staff! We love you and appreciate everything you do for everyone!

I just have to say that enrolling my daughter here was a big step for us. As I was a stay home mom for my older two kiddos and she was with a private sitter or grandma for the first 2 years. We had just lost our infant at a couple months old and I was terrified to allow a stranger to care for any of my kiddos after what we had been through. Especially with her having sensory needs. When I toured, I expressed all of my concerns we really got to know the staff that was still there that evening. Christine was more than helpful and understanding. They have allowed my little girl her assisted devices to help with her sensory needs. My older kiddos go with when we drop her off and pick her up and the staff acknowledges them by name. Brenda nor Christine have ever hesitated to ask for clarification in caring for our child. Each time there has even been an incident, I always receive pictures along with a full explanation of how it all happened. Of course, a couple incidents have been due to retaliation of my daughter's actions and they have corrected her behavior appropriately and I have never been so pleased. We have seen so much growth in her. She loves to go to "school" like her older brother and sister. She talks about teaching her friends to be nice and showing them how to be nice. She is officially interested in potty training full time and does really well with it. It has helped us in keeping her in routine. I stopped by today to drop off payment for next week and she saw me through the window. Of course they let me in to see her and give her a kiss. On Fridays my fiance picks her up "early" due to weekly therapy. Her teacher helped me in explaining that he would be there soon to pick her up and what they had planned between the time I left and when he would pick her up. I cannot thank this group of ladies enough for assisting our family through these changes and growth.

We used this daycare for a couple of foster kiddos. The daycare was so understanding and flexible with the kids' ever changing needs and schedule. They saved me more than once after forgetting extra clothes or forgetting to leave a car seat so the kiddos could be picked up by someone else for a family visit. We also went away for a week, and the family that kept our kids had several of their own - the staff came out and got the kids from the car for that week so that our friend wouldn't have to bring five kids in with her just to drop our girls off. They went above and beyond, and we recommend them!

The owner of this fine establishment has had all three of my daughters in her care for many years and there is no one I trust more to put others first, to do the right thing even when it is difficult, and to make all her choices in the best interest of the children in her care. She is a very tough employer because she expects her employees to do the same so any negative reviews here are probably sparked by the fact that although she’s lovely and hassle free for the parents she will lower her very excellent standard of care of no one especially an employee charged with caring for children. Brenda for PRESIDENT!

I really wouldn't recommend this place! My son went there for little over a year, and this place closes SO much! Not even exaggerating, in the year we were there, they closed for a total of 3 months! If the owner wants to dispute this I'd be more than happy to provide pictures for every time they closed. The price was decent when we started but within the year we were there they raised the price by $100 a week and had plans to even higher in the future. But that price had little to no reflection on the facility itself. Yes they installed new floors ( which they closed for 3 weeks, but doing it a week at a time so you wouldn't known when your child would be returning) the place is very outdated. The front door doesn't even latch. The staff seemed alright to me. I never felt like my son was in danger. This place just can't stay open. If you want consistent child care, THIS. PLACE . ISN'T .FOR .YOU
