I first took my daughter to the McWane center the day after she turned one. I was so excited to see that they had a special area just for kids under 4. It has a water table, an over sized garden with gigantic mushrooms and corn stalks with tunnels to climb in and out, a jungle gym play zone with three levels (this is like the ones at McDonalds but more educational), a imagination room with mini grocery store, library, cars and trucks, and tables to work puzzles from 3 pieces to 100 pieces. It also has an area for babies under two with huge styrofoam blocks to climb on, block stackers, and an assortment of educational based toys. On the lower level there is a mini aquarium that my daughter has always been fascinated by. It definitely is a place for kids of all ages.

I do recommend this daycare to anyone that wants a good place to take their children during the day. I have 4 kids ranging from 18 yrs old to 9 yrs old and all 4 of my kids went to University of Tots since they were born until they didn't need to attend any longer.
We have always found excellent care at this location with caring teachers, directors etc. The daycare has tv monitoring where you can pop in to watch your child on the monitor or in person, they feed your kids good meals, computer time, they take the older kids on fun field trips throughout the year and especially in the summer. University of Tots also had swimming lessons and gymnastics, dance lessons for an additional fee at offsite locations (except gymnastics).
I recommend this daycare to anyone with pride.

I left my 2 year old for the first time when I enrolled her here. She was very shy and clingy and I needed a break and she needed interaction with other kids. She has been here 2.5 months in their 2 day a week program and is a much happier, more balanced little person. The teachers and the director are loving and gentle, never demanding or harsh. I highly recommend Meadow Brook's Mother's Day Out program.

Since moving here from Louisiana after hurricane Katrina, I didn't know anyone and needed a place for my 2 year old to interact with other kids. I am so lucky to have found Meadow Brook. Their teachers and director are so loving and gentle. They made it so easy for me to leave my daughter which gave me a much needed break. They treat her with kindness and love and I would recommend them to anyone looking to leave their child for the first time.

Excellent school with great acedemic standards and wonderful sports program at same time. Large school but very small group friendly with many extracurricular and sports programs to fit into. Our experience is positive for our kids in elementary and high school levels. They care about the whole person, acedemic, social and spiritual. Teaches from biblical world life view. Teachers are very caring and large percentage have masters and phd's.

I spent 4 mostly good years here. I really like the campus, and I feel like I got a great education. The employees of the college, staff and professors alike, were very helpful and knowledgeable and easy to approach. Now for the things I didn't like: it was too small. There were something like 14 or 1500 students here. As a consequence, the only courses offered are the basic ones, and while small classes are nice, you don't have a whole lot of options on what to take when. Interim term helps with this problem, as the courses offered are usually really different and great. The other thing I didn't like was how "greek" it was. It seemed like everyone was in a sorority or fraternity, and it was hard to establish a social life without being Greek.

More
This is an accredited day care, fairly large in size with about 8 or 9 classrooms and a superb, kind, gentle staff. The program offers service from 7:30 am to 6 pm each day, very secure location (in a building attached to the church). They accommodate infants as young as 6 weeks up kindergarten age and have their own outdoor playground. There is a conscious attempt to include fun learning activities for children every day. Teachers send home a nice standardized report every day. This is a great, lovely place for daycare.

More
My kids have been attending Lifechurch Learning Center for 2 years, and we love it there! The teachers are incredibly loving and really work to get to know each child's personality, likes, and dislikes. They are qualified and know what they are doing and work well with children. My daughter has food allergies and they have been wonderful in working with us to develop an environment that is safe for her and avoids any accidental exposures to her allergens. The hours are great (6-6 as I write this), they keep things very clean, and they actually charge less than most of the surrounding daycares. They use the Abeka curriculum starting in K2, but even my 1 year old does arts and crafts. They have a nice playground and on rainy days, the kids can play in the gym. As of the time I write this, they do accept drop ins at $20 a day. My only disappointment has been with teacher turnover. While my kids full time teachers have not changed much (as these are usually moms or retired older women), the part time teachers (usually students) rotate more than I'd like, but I guess you have to expect that with part timers. All in all, we love the daycare and I don't plan to take our kids anywhere else.
