| - We established a relationship with Yellow Brick Road in February 2015. There have been massive improvements at this daycare since then. Most notably, the playground was completely updated with plenty of shade and new equipment. The daycare was repainted from top to bottom, and a computer station was installed that allows parents and other authorized individuals to easily check children in and out by way of fingerprint-recognition. Parents can pay weekly balances by debit or credit card at this computer station too - super handy! In addition, Yellow Brick Road began offering the occasional "Parent's Night Out" and every once in a while shows appreciation by extending grab-and-go breakfast items for parents.
There is a core group of teachers who have stayed with this center over the years. Whether seasoned or new, the teachers are friendly and demonstrate genuine love and care for our children. The owners have been responsive to our inquiries and the director, Miss Shannon, is out of this world! Miss Shannon is very approachable, motivates/coaches her team well, goes out of her way to advocate for families, and is on the ball from an administrative standpoint.
Of course, with any daycare there is room for improvement. Yellow Brick Road's front door is not locked, and while unwanted visitors have yet to be a problem, this can cause concern. The owners have indicated that having a securely-locked front door is their next project, which could be addressed as early as summer 2018.
Another area for improvement relates to room resources. There are few children's books in the rooms, and the toys that are present are very well-loved and are not regularly replaced. It would be great if funds could be allocated to regularly replace (and add) toys, books and imaginative play items.
All-in-all, we are happy with Yellow Brick Road, especially considering how affordable it is. We were with another center for a while but returned to Yellow Brick Road when our second child was born. We do not regret it!
