Carson Lanes Daycare and Learning Center

I didn’t really like the way I was treated by Kassie. She made me feel like my child was just a paycheck for her, and while her attitude was «professional» enough, she just didn’t strike me as genuinely warm or appreciative of my business or my child as an individual.
The employees were constantly on their phones, texting or surfing the web, instead of interacting with the children, almost every time I walked in. They’d immediately put their phones down and act like they’d been caught doing something they shouldn’t be doing — and no wonder, because they’re supposed to be taking care of children, not Facebooking all day!
On occasion, I would arrive to pick up or drop off my child during hours when the kids were outdoors in the play area. I walked towards the daycare from the parking lot, where the employees couldn’t see me coming (they have privacy slats in the fence around the outdoor play area, so unless they were watching closely, they didn’t see who was approaching) — and I would overhear one or more of the female staff members (don’t know which ones) YELLING at the toddlers.
Now, I realize that kids can be rambunctious and naughty from time to time, but is yelling at them really the appropriate response? Especially if you’re an employee of a daycare. Your job is to supervise, interact with and care for those children in a gentle, loving, respectful manner. I did NOT like what I overheard on these occasions. It made me feel uncomfortable, and wonder if my own child was ever scolded in that same manner. After the third time I overheard this sort of «discipline,» I decided to find other childcare as soon as I could, and I took my child out of Carson Lanes Daycare.
Chase was one of the more decent staff members. I never saw him playing on his phone and ignoring the kids, and my child seemed to really like him.

Wonderful Daycare! I am a very picky mother on where my child attends. Cassie and her staff are amazing; they are a wonderful group of girls! They treat your children like their own and I am not worrying all day at work if my child is getting the right care. The staff takes the time out to talk with you in regards to your concerns and needs. I would say this is one of the top daycare centers in Carson City!

I’m in the same boat as Laura, feeling like I would have to «settle» for a center that I didn’t really like because I didn’t feel I had many choices when it came to quality child care. I brought my son with me to work as long as could, as I was waiting for Carson Lanes Day Care Center to open.
Now that it open I am so glad that I waited. The room is ALWAYS clean even at the end of the day. Kassie (the director) is very accommodating even with my crazy schedule. My son has his own shelf in their kitchen so I can bring in a stock of all his foods, formula, wipes, and diapers. Not having to remember to bring some in everyday is helpful.
One day I forgot to bring in a bottle for them to use, Kassie being ever helpful drove to store and bought one so I could go to work, and she didn’t just buy any bottle, she bought the exact brand we use down to it being made in glass (not plastic). She’s amazing…
Anyways you should note the picture of the outside play yard does not do it justice it is far nicer than it looks. Additionally, while the surface looks like asphalt, it is not, it is made of a synthetic material that is «spongy» reducing the risk for major injury if a child were to fall while playing outside.
So me and my boy are happy campers!

I had little expecations when I went to visit Carson Lanes Daycare & Learning Center, because I was already conditioned to «settle» for mediocrity when I visited many other child care facilities in Carson.
However, the very first impression that I got was the facility was CLEAN… spotless, really! That made a very big impression on me.
Next, was the staff: warm, friendly, and genuinely interested in engaging with my young child. They made us feel so welcomed and comfortable~ it was wonderful!
They have a nice little play yard, tons of toys, puzzles, books, games, crafts, etc., and a napping room. They also have toilets and facilities built especially for little people and will help out with potty-​training.
I am a single, working mother and have to face the necessary evil of placing my child in a day care facility. But Carson Lanes Daycare & Learning Center gave me something I thought I’d never find… comfort and peace of mind! I know that I can go to work and not have to worry about my child or the quality of care he is receiving. It truly is the best place I’ve seen around town and I highly encourage you to check it out before placing your child elsewhere! The price is comparable to other facilities, perhaps a little bit more, but I believe that «you get what you pay for» and this is a perfect example of such. It is well worth it!
