Run-A-Muck Child Care Ctr

After hearing nothing but praise about this establishment, I was beyond disappointed with my experience of trying to get BASIC information from their staff.
Run-​a-​muck was highly recommended to us as the «best in Salem/​Danvers», and was 1 of 2 preschools recommended by my PEDIATRICIANS office for my son. However, after contacting through their website, them via email, it was like pulling teeth to get any information. I still have no clue how much it would cost — and I asked about tuition 3 times! Finally, I requested that Valerie (the lady in Salem that was not giving me any information besides that they had a wait list, and only accept full days/​weeks students) to give me the name, address, and phone number of someone in Danvers. I was given a name (Gretchen), and a phone number that was disconnected. She also stated that she forwarded my emails to her.
When Gretchen emailed me, it was basically the same information — Please let me know what questions you have… yet nothing had been answered. In her defense, I didn’t bother to respond. I’d already made up my mind, thanks to Valerie and her lack of information.
Needles to say, this has left a very poor impression on me. I don’t want to seems my child to a place that can’t even figure out how to give information out to inquiring parents.
If you are looking for someplace that refuses to answer questions, this is your place. I’d you want to know the ins and outs, and *gasp* talk to a real person… keep looking.

My son has been at Run A Muck since he was three (he is now five), and we have nothing but wonderful things to say.
He has never been bit, hit, pushed, shoved or hurt in any other way except for accidents on the play ground, such as a skinned knee. Even when this happened, the school called me right away to let me know and I was given an incident report when I picked him up. But kids will be kids, so I expect him to get hurt, I did when I was a kid!
The staff are very attentive, friendly, helpful and great teachers. My son can now count to ten in three languages (four if you include English) and he tells us amazing facts that he learns at school.
I highly recommend Run A Muck!
