"At first we were reluctant to leave our fourteen-month-old child at any daycare.\n\nI checked out Tutor Time on McClintock and was impressed by the fancy facilities, though it was by far the most expensive option at over $1,000 per month for full time daycare.\n\nThen we tried the YMCA. Part time.\n\nThey were terrible. Our child cried every single time we took him there.\n\nIt was so bad, we cancelled our membership there and even found a different gym.\n\nThen we checked out Sunny Days Learning Center. My wife thought the place was dark, and the facilities seemed adequate, but nothing as fancy as Tutor Time.\n\nWe ended up taking our child to Tutor Time. We had to fill out all these forms and I'd made it very clear that our child was not to have any meat. Only poultry and fish.\n\nWe told the manager. No meat.\n\nThen we get a report back a couple weeks later and they'd fed our child a hamburger.\n\nWe were willing to forgive one mistake, but a week later, they fed him ham.\n\nThat was it. We decided to give The Sunny Days Learning Center a try.\n\nI wish it had been the first place we'd picked.\n\nIt's like a big family there. They cared for our child like he was their very own. There was no rigid schedule of learning. A lot of love and attention.\n\nAnd our child loves it. He's almost 1 1/2 now and he never cries when he goes there, and his communication skills have improved markedly since he's been attending Sunny Days.\n\nThe manager is the sweetest woman. And they're all very experienced and friendly there.\n\nI suggest you look past the facilities and at what is the most important thing: Safety, care, love, and last, but not least, free-range non-institutionalized learning.\n\nFinds like this one are rare nowadays.\n\nI cannot recommend this place enough."^^ .
