Our son has been at Family Circle for over 4 years and our experience has been great. The staff have always been helpful, caring, and have treated our son as an individual throughout his development. They’re always finding ways to involve families as well. We highly recommend family circle!

My daughter attends this daycare and they are absolutely amazing. They take great care of her, she’s learned a ton and they have great cooks in the kitchen. She is always raving about how good her lunches are! We will miss them when she starts kindergarten next year!

All three of my children have attended this daycare since infancy. The same woman has worked in the infant room and watched all three of them and she is great. All of my kids’ teachers are super friendly, communicate well, and are just honestly such good people and are so deserving. My children are very comfortable with them because most have been there for years. They are flexible with specific dietary restrictions, they have outings, engaging activities, and an open door on the office for welcoming communication. The staff has even seen my kid having a meltdown in the parking lot and came out to help. The negative reviews on here are wildly dramatic and paint an inaccurate portrait. I would never have my kids attend a center I thought to be subpar. If you tour the place, you will get a homey feel from it right away. It was the only place I felt comfortable with when I was touring daycares years ago. And here we are, 5 years later.

We absolutely love Family Circle! We've been there over a year now. We feel sooo lucky to have found it when our Nanny Share wasnt working out for us anymore. The teachers and staff are incredibly warm, caring, and attentive, making it a wonderful place for my daughter to learn and grow.she always runs right to them in the mornings for a hug. We have a whole gallery wall in our kitchen now from creative art projects she does. (She's 2) Our friends and family are always impressed her how well she talks and counts and how much she knows at such a young age and we know it's partly because she's at school playing and learning during the day while we have to work.

The center is clean, well-organized, and communicates with us reall well through the Brightwheel app. I also appreciate that they use the Creative Curriculum and have thoughtful family style meals.

I have worked in Educatiom for over 20 years and I was really nervous about finding a loving and safe program for my little. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing she is in such good hands. If you're looking for a loving and enriching child care center, I highly recommend Family Circle.

Our daughter attended for a year starting in Cassidy's class and finished her year with Danni. We could not have asked for better teachers for our daughter. They're very caring and kept our daughter engaged with physical activities, arts and crafts, and helping our daughter learn to write, among other things.

To address other reviews, we definitely did not have any of these experiences. Disclosure: We did not receive any benefits for this review as another person stated the good reviews are for. We just left this learning center because we moved away. This review is deserving.
The staff has always been a pleasure to work with. All staff were respectful to us and other parents around me. Treat with respect, receive respect I guess. I never saw issues occur.

Kids don't get timeout, they move to the office to calm down with the office staff where they have toys and activities they can do until the child feels ready to rejoin the class. They also ask for parents to provide plenty changes of clothes in case accidents happen, and they do have a limited supply of extra clothing in case our daughter ran out. We would bring more clothes in any time she started to run out of clothes. The teachers give you plenty of heads up for what the kids need, too.

We are very active with our child at home, which the staff saw in our child's growth and development, and just as much we saw how much she grew and how much she learned with all the activities and art she brought home.

The staff was also very accommodating any time she had special meal needs or other care when we had instructions from a doctor.

I really wish our daughter could keep attending FCLC. I can't say enough good things about them.
