Pines Enrichment

I won’t say I hated this place. It was one of the day cares I visited while searching for a school for my toddler. When I found it, I wasn’t impressed by the fact that there was a large gym next door. There is also a vet, a pediatrician, a Thai restaurant, a UPS store, a bank and a McDonalds all in the same plaza which was what really helped to make my decision. I prefer a daycare that’s tucked away with less parking lot activity but that’s just my preference. When I walked in, the staff seemed nice enough. I was given a tour at that moment. It’s really just one large space separated by dividers. There was a woman in the kitchen area preparing lunch for the children. I was able to see every classroom, the kitchen, and the front desk standing in one spot. I didn’t really like the set up at all. If I seem picky, that’s because I am very picky when it comes to my daughter. I visited several schools in the area and there are a few standard things I look for. I really don’t like seeing too many maintenance workers within the facilities with the kids. It makes me uncomfortable that #1 using repair chemicals in these small spaces while kids are onsite is not safe and #2 having non staff so close to small children just makes me uneasy. Maybe it’s just me?
