We would NEVER suggest North Oaks Country to anyone. I work odd hours of retail, and was able to pick up my son earlier in the day than most parents. Plus my pick up schedule is random, so thye would never know when I was coming. This is what I witnessed:\r
1. I have never seen girls in trouble. Not saying it doesn't happen, but I have seen one little boy or another in trouble everyday. They seem to be set up for quiet little boys and espcially girls, but not for normal little boy behavior. We all know how little boys can be.\r
2. Yelling. I have witnessed yelling many times.\r
3. Unprofessionalism. The director rudely told me to have my son there before a certain time so they wouldn't have to catch him up. I have an odd schedule that is NONE of their business. Sometimes I have to get my son there a little late because I worked all night and I am thanking God that he sleeps in a little to let me get a nap before getting behind the wheel with him. My wife leaves work as soon as I arrive, which is too early to take our son. If I am paying them for all day, open to close, five days a week, they need to be ready when I am.\r
4. More unprofessionalism. . .giving unsolicited parenting advice. \r
5. I have witnessed naps lasting past two o'clock. Long past time they are supposed to wake up.\r
6. Grabbing kids roughly for redirects.\r
\r
I think this is a wonderful place if you have a quiet, demure child. North Oaks staff does not want to be troubled with a more active or defiant child. Seems to me that they shouldn't be in the business if they don't want to accept all children.
Pros: Cheaper than a lot of places.
Cons: Read the review. . .plus the playground is old.
