Is this childcare service appropiate for a 7 month old? Is it one big play area or do they seperated the kids by ages....Any comments on your experience is appreciated. I'm looking for the 1 to 2 hour drop in they offer.....Thanks!
We use the one in Plano and what Krista describes is true of the Plano facility. We have used it for our 4 year old son and 8 month old son and we thought it offers a good environment.
We also use the Plano one and love it. My kids always want to go there. The babies are kept in a seperate room and they have a low ratio in there. 4 infants to one adult. Unlike some of the other drop in cares in the area they will do a tour at any time. So stop by sometime. Only then will you really feel comfortable leaving your baby there.
I was just at the Plano location yesterday. (for the first time) And I did see that they had a seperate room for "the littles" the girl that works behind the desk told me that all of the babies had to stay in the nursery. She said they have one that comes (when her mom works out) that is only 9 weeks old. I was very comfortable with the security and surroundings of the extablishment! Good Luck
I can only tell you about the FLower Mound one, but I bet they are similar. I have had good experiences there. They do have a separate baby area which is a different room with a half door to the main room. It has cribs, exersaucers and baby toys and keeps the babies out of the path of the bigger kids. And it is smaller so they are watched more carfully.
The price is good in my opinion (esp if you have more that one kid). There is a registration fee, but at the one here, they will waive it the first time so you can make sure you like it (they don't tell you that, but it's in the fine print I would encourage you to drop in with your child and check it out. They are fine with you spending a little time with your child there when you first come in.
I too have only used Flower Mound, but I like them a lot. We have been using them since our son was about 9 months old, but I certainly would trust them with a 7 month old.
We've used the one in Plano several times...and I'm very happy with our experiences there. My son is 3 yrs old so I don't have experience with the baby room there. The workers are all very attentive and nice.
it's great for having spontaneous dates. no need to line up babysitters days in advance.
