Our son (3yo) has been attending Scuttlebugs for six months. We moved him from another nearby daycare due to poor quality of care there. WE LOVE SCUTTLEBUGS. It is an amazing school and we are so happy we moved him there.
The teachers are fantastic, so patient and caring and we can just see the amazing new things he’s learning. We went to a recent birthday party and the (former!) Director, and the Pre-K teacher, came to the kid’s birthday party! It was 4th of July, and they took time out of THEIR holiday to come to a school child’s party. That was honestly just so sweet.
The school is great – I love their approach to education at this age (focused on play) and they share a lot of pictures, videos and blog posts. It’s nice getting to see your kiddo having fun. They are just really ON IT. They are super duper organized which is great.
They get a ton of outside time, and the “indoor gym” is really nice for rainy weather. When our son started, it was winter and constantly raining, so the fact that he could still get his energy out was great.
They have Tuff Tumblers come in for optional EXTRA activities, which is awesome. We’ve had our kiddo in soccer class since day one. We just don’t have time for stuff like that on the weekends…!
The other thing is that Scuttlebugs MAKES OUR LIVES SO EASY. We just drop him off. They provide breakfast, all snacks, healthy lunches (who knew my kid would eat QUINOA, seriously?!), more snacks. Miss Joana, the cook, even knows the kids so well – she tells me about one of the kids who won’t eat XYZ, so she prepares something special for him. Just so much extra special effort.
They also provide diapers, all the bedding/sheets, and even formula for babies (assuming they’re formula-fed, of course.) We never have to do anything – no packing lunches, no remembering to bring sheets. It just makes life so much easier for working parents.
Can’t recommend this daycare highly enough. We are so, so happy with it.
