I wish that I was able to give 6 stars out of 5. Parker chase is truly top notch. Our daughter has just finished her 5th year, which truly was a sad day. She begs me to go visit sherry and all of her old teachers when we pick up our son who is two. We are thankful that he has 3 years left. The staff at Parker chase has been more like a family to us than a daycare. In 5 years we have only had one minor issue that we sat down with sherry and it was addressed the next morning. I highly recommend visiting and checking it out for yourself. Shopping for a daycare online is a start but do yourself the favor of visiting and meeting the staff. After all your children will be going there. For five years we have seen the same smiling faces with very little change. We have watched children grow up with our son and daughter including some of the teachers own children. It speaks volumes to me that the teachers have been there so long and some chose to have their own kids go there. Parker chase may not be for everyone, but it sure is home for us. again looking online is a good start but remember most people online feel that they have an axe to grind. Go visit the school and see the happy and smiling people that intrust their families to the staff and teachers day in and day out.

First off, I just want to say that it is a school where they actually have a curriculum for children. I do like the teachers and they work with the children, but it is the behind the scene activity that I think could use the improvement and therefore I am giving it 1 start. The director on more than one occasion while my child went there had said employees should be fired. This is very unprofessional and something that should not be said to a parent. I think all of those matters should stay internal. You never want to hear that the caretaker of your child should be canned. Also, second of all they switch teachers and there is no consistency. They also claim all teachers have degrees. That may be true. Maybe they have associate degrees from the local college. Bottom line, it needs better management.

My son went here for about 6 months until February 2015. He was kicked out for spitting. We were told of the issue on a Thursday and he was kicked out on the following Tuesday morning. Rather than waiting to tell my wife face to face, the director called my wife over the phone, which is very unprofessional on the director’s part. My son is 2 ½ years old and spitting is normal for toddlers. I think the school could of worked with him a a little longer since they are NAEYC accredited and all. I have since filed a complaint with NAEYC for the school giving up on my child. We were told that younger kids moved up into his class recently and that’s when the spitting began. We were also told that all the kids were spitting, however my son was the only one to spit in the director’s face. The teacher’s son was also placed in the class and I think many of the kids were acting out because her son was getting more attention. Anyways, the place is very nice, but I do not believe it is ran properly and I believe my son was kicked out more because the director had someone ready to fill his seat and not for spitting.

My child has been here since 3 months old and I will say that their Infant 2, Toddler 1 and Toddler 2 classes are amazing! Their teachers are fantastic and my child has loved it so far. I will have to say though, STAYAWAY from their Infant 1 class. We had the worst experience here. The teachers are overwhelmed with the 4:1 ratio. The class is overcrowded and the teachers don’t have it under control. There are always babies unattended for and crying there. I would definitely make sure no child of mine ever has to go through that again.
