Director's and Parents' Comments

Parent #1
This is basically just formal babysitting. They really don't learn anything.

Discipline

OVERALL RATING (4.0)
Parents' Opinions
Parents at this school, on average, believe that conflicts between children: are handled extraordinarily well in a way that not only gives me confidence in the safety of my child but also reassures me that my child (and his/her peers) are learning the early skills needed to socialize effectively with one another

Parents' Notes on Discipline, Health and Safety

Parent #1
The parents provide the food for the children. Highchairs are cleaned once a week. Toys and equipment are not sanitized inbetween use from one child to the next. The air is too cold in the summer and too hot in the winter. Thus, children often get sick. The school blames the parent.

Parent #2
I love that when I walk into Avalon Childcare it is very bright and clean. From when i drop my son off in the morning till when i pick him up at 6pm It always smells very clean and everything is always in place.
