When our second child was born, I had hoped I wouldn't have to return to work, but reality struck, and after 18 months, I was back at the grind. I was terrified about finding a place for my kiddos, but these fears were quickly put to rest when I got to North Oaks. Ms. Patty was a blessing! She made me and my little ones feel completely comfortable, and the center was just like a little country home. North Oaks was everything that I was looking for in a daycare! Other centers seemed to either be too clinical, or unprofessional. All three of my children have grown up at North Oaks, and now that my youngest is officially too old for daycare, it breaks my heart to have to have said goodbye. Ms. Patty and all of the staff at North Oaks were pivotal beacons in the early lives of all of my children. I am thankful for the stability that North Oaks was able to provide. North Oaks does not force these little peanuts to grow up too soon, but instead focuses on nurture from an early age. The benefit of this to a little one's early socialization skills is transcendent! No matter what issue a child faces in these pivotal years, Ms. Patty and her staff were there with a solution. No one here was ever anything but nurturing, and the staff at North Oaks is a prodigous one. It is obvious that everyone here loves children, and loves what they do. With an awkward work schedule, I was able to arrive to pick up my children at anytime during the day. I was pleased to always find them busy with activities and projects no matter what time I showed up! The kids also adored the tree-filled playground, and still ask if they can play there when we pass by. Finally, I was pleased that my most prized possesions were at a safe, nurturing environment, tucked back in a nice neighborhood, rather than a building lining a highway. I proudly give North Oaks two thumbs up, and would recomend it to anyone looking for a great place to nurture their little ones!
Pros: The nurturing atmosphere and wonderful staff.
Cons: No before school care offered for school aged children.
