My son has been at Puddle Jumpers for 3 years. Yes there have been problems. Once I showed I was interested in solving the problem and not just being a thorn and wanting someone to bend my way the staff and management were willing to work with me. As with any situation I needed to make sure I made my needs or wishes clear. Yes this does require commutation and cooperation from both sides. Yes there have been good and bad teachers. More good than bad. When I?ve had trouble with a teacher I?ve gone to the director and worked things out. I see some parents show up to get their kid(s) and leave never saying anything to anyone. These are usually the ones I hear the ?they (management/ teachers) won?t work with me or they (management/ teachers) never tell me anything. Do they look around in the children?s cubby or at the notices outside the classrooms or even at the front desk? Not doing this could be why they are missing things. Granted nothing is perfect, but not asking questions or visiting with teachers won?t solve anything. And some people are never happy. When going through potty training for the 3rd time (we had lots of starts & stops) I alerted any and all teachers myself what was going on and they all were very helpful. I found it better to speak to teachers one on one. Rather than ask the management to convey my wishes. As they have enough to do without doing my responsibilities for me. My son has been at Puddle Jumpers for 3 years. As for cost it is middle of the road. I looked at every daycare in a 5 mile range from my work when I was looking. Some of the one you would think were lower cost actually were more expensive and were right on Redwood Road. Some had no security and non had the scanning requirements that Puddle Jumpers has.
Pros: close to work, security cameras outside in parking area
Cons: all day cares have high turn overs in teachers
