Wee Care Childcare & Preschool in Jefferson County

My husband, twin daughters, and I love Wee Care! While it does not have all the bells and whistles of some of the larger daycare facilities (I.e apps to track), the care my girls have received since they were infants has been amazing. It is small so you get a real family feel there and we have had nothing but amazing experiences with both teachers and the owner, Christine.

Timeframe for review: 2019 - March 2020.Perhaps this was a good school at some point in time, but it was a poorly run facility in our experience. After some time and reflection since weve pulled our daughter from here, I still feel the need to share our experience.Pros: Some of the teachers were bright lights, who really seemed to care for the kids and their development. Sadly they were likely underpaid and there seemed to be a high staff turnover.Cons: Where to begin?Other teachers were not so great. Smoking right before walking into their shifts. The experience that stands out the most that sums it up is when I went to pick up my daughter early for a doctors appointment from the infant/baby room, and the staff member had poured a pile of puffs out all over the carpeted floor, and the babies were all crawling around it eating off the floor. The same staff member during this time was sitting in the corner of the room with her headphones on.One time my daughter came home with a rash on her face, because they just left her laying on the floor, gnawing on her empty milk bottle, for long enough that she had a rash on her cheek from the rubbing.Or the time she came home with a giant bruise on her forehead to which we received little explanation to how it happened.There was also many times where there was not adequate staffing for the number of children to be cared for.There were so many I could go on and on honestly, but I feel the point is adequately made. It would be easy to point the fingers at the staff for a lot of this, but I believe the staff is just reflective of the operation. I think that more people dont speak up, because the woman running this place has a very aggressive, and "bully" type personality, that we experienced on several occasions. It was clear that it was not "Care," but supervision that was being provided, and loosely at that.Do not recommend. Your childs development is too important.

Best Place Ever!!!

We have been so pleased with the care given to both our boys here. Great community feel.

We LOVE Wee Care! This is a special place. We are very happy with the activities available to the kids, tons of lessons and art projects, music and dance classes, visits from a story teller and even a local farm (bunnies, chicks and a calf!). The staff is wonderful, and they create a very positive, peaceful, and comfortable environment for the kids. Highly recommend!

Our son will soon "graduate" from Wee Care, where hes been since he was 4 months old.I cant say enough about this place. It means so much to have had a loving and warm home-away-from-home for him. The staff is friendly and experienced, the other parents are great, the activities and, as they get older, instruction they provide the kids has been wonderful, with just the right about of order and play/chaos :)Over the years, Ive watched as my mom friends have moved their kids from place to place based on one concern or another. Weve not had to to that - never even considered it.Im writing this review in hopes of paying back a little for all the love weve gotten at Wee Care over the years. And to help out families who are navigating the uncertain waters of finding a quality place for their child. I recommend Wee Care with all my heart.
