We had a good experience at Stay & Play Dare Care. The building was always impeccably clean and smelled very nice. The rooms are organized with fun toys. Any time we would come in, our 1 (almost 2) year old was listening to music or toddling around. They did activities that he really learned from. My son was born extremely early and was behind. We believe that he began walking sooner, talking sooner, and memorizing things sooner because of daycare. It helped his social skills too. They encouraged his learning. His teacher would do sweet little crafts on holiday. We really appreciated Miss Kay. She also would text cute videos to us and take pictures of him. She is very professional, good at what she does, and trust worthy. Our son liked her and felt comfortable with her. I would absolutely trust her with him again. They did fun table activities and took photos as well. I appreciate daycare teachers immensely due to how hard they work and how little they are paid. The rate here was more than fair and within our budget. I did not find that the daycare allowed sick children and when covid hit, they took precautions. We ended up having to pull our son out due to COVID as he has a chronic lung condition. But I think Stay & Play was a good choice and would go there again. Any and every day care is going to have poor reviews as people get upset and need an outlet to air their grievances. Give little weight to negative reviews. Check the DCFS inspections and see what DCFS found wrong and how it was corrected. Also check out their facebook for cute photos and more reviews. I think Stay and Play is a great choice and has the bonus of being easier on the budget.
We have been taking our girls to Stay & Play for almost 4 years and we can't say enough wonderful things about them. The owner and her staff are very experienced and do a great job, the center is immaculate and the families who go there are all very nice and trustworthy. Our kids are very happy and we are very thankful to have found them. If you are looking for a day care, Stay & Play is the BEST!!!!
