Based on someone who used to work here, Please avoid this place. Your child is not being fed well or treated well. Maybe from some of the staff but definitely not from the "director" aka the owner, Kathy. The day may start off for your child with half a piece of toast, or half of a poptart. not even a whole one. And not even a whole half of a small sippy cup of drink. For lunch, a scoop of canned fruit, maybe 2 pizza rolls. or some chease and crackers, or a slice of ham and some cheese. Raisins. and this is the cheapest of the cheap stuff that they still stretch much more than it should be. Twice, my toddlers were given spoiled milk. Once it was put in a bottle for a child going home and the mother noticed and complained. Though, its not the teachers fault. The directors assistant is also, typically, the "cook" nothing is ever fresh. Half of everything is stale. I worked in the toddler room and would often keep extra snacks in my locker for my kids, because they would always want more. Oh, for the toddlers, theyre never ever taken outside. they stay in that back room all day. If your child seems to have weird markings and youre told they fell outside or got hit by a toy, it was probably a bit mark with no teeth marks. The director or assistant would wait and see if teeth marks would show and then make up a story if they didnt. If your child was the biter, you probably were never told either. Biters were separated from the rest of the group. For the entire day. This meant keeping them in a high chair, crib/play pen, ALL day. If they were taken out and bit again, well the teacher would be scolded and the child lifted from one arm and taken to the office and returned later with a red face (Kathy would usually hold their face hard from the cheeks and talk to them badly a few inches from their face.) Its a house of secrets, this place... They give the staff more than they are legally suppose to handle. Giving them more kids than they should have, per ratio. Or bumping kids up to the next level room without notifying parents. This would change day by day that even the roll sheets I would get would have a 10 month old listed as a 12 month old, just in case state were to come by. I was told to throw out the roll sheets at the end of the weeks, but I always kept them them anyway. They have an alarm set specifically for when they see someone from the state approaching the suite to let all the teachers know. That alone speaks for itself. Finally when I walked out of this dreadful place, I was left a voice mail threatening to sew me for slander because Kathy had spyed on me through social media and I had said something about telling the parents one day during pick up times what goes on in there. Well. Slander is something that is untrue, Kathy. I came across the roll sheets with changed birthdates while unpacking in my new home in Seattle, which reminded me of how horrible you are. No one that I know that ever worked with, 2 of whom I still talk to regularly, would never bring their kids here. I am certain these 5 star reviews are fake placed by the owner, a review is typically fake when the account only made that one review the day their account was made.

Home Sweet Home is a blessing! As a single mom I was looking for a day care that was affordable and open early enough for my to drop of my kid so that I could make it to work on time (Im a teacher and I drive 30 minutes to bring my daughter here...I love it that much!) My daughter started off in the infant room. There are swings, cribs/pack-and-plays, crawling toys, walking toys....SO MUCH stimuli to help kids. You are not allowed to wear shoes in the room in order to keep it clean. Now, my daughter is in the toddler room. Again there are individual beds, toys...There is a toilet readily available to begin potty training. YES, potty training! I absolutely love it here. HSH has helped my child grow as a learner. She is 21 months and this is what she had learned at school: shapes, body parts, assisted counting to 10, colors, infant sign language to help with communication, social skills/manners, nursery rhymes and so many other things. Stop by and meet Zeb and her husband Shah! They are passionate about education and love their kids at Home Sweet Home.

My experience here was not the best. Words cannot explain the stress and negative environment these teachers are under. Mainly because they dont have extra help or organization in place. The infant room can b the most stressful because there is only 2 teachers with 8 to 10 infants who all have different needs that need to be met. A infant will cry almost the whole day before given any attention. Its just not the environment you want ur kid in. Caz when a teacher is stressed that leads to impatience which can lead to being rough to a child . Im writing this because i would wanna know the truth.I can write a book on this daycare and most of it wouldnt be any good. Yes the price may be cheaper then most places but you get what you pay for.

AWESOME SCHOOL! My children have been attending this school for over 2 years now and we just love it here. We toured at least 6 schools in this area before choosing Home Sweet Home. We chose this school over the more expensive chains because of its clean, cheerful and organized environment, and there is definatley no mold in this place or our children would not be in this school and I am sure no-one elses would be here either. The Management and Teachers are professional, and very knowledgeable and go above and beyond to make us and our kids comfortable and happy. Great Place!!!

I am really impressed with the staff at this daycare. Very welcoming and friendly and really took an interest in my baby. The baby room is wonderful with mats and lots of cushion for the little ones to play on. I really liked the no shoes in that room policy trying to keep it clean. They give you a detailed run down of their day each day and were accomidating to the way she was fed. My only issue was they close at 6 so I had to leave the center because I would incur late fees. So sad, this daycare is one of the good ones.

My son went here for about 2 years. I thought everything was pretty good, but last year he tells me the owner used to take him in the office alone and pinch his face in with one hand and yell at him when he misbehaved. I just saw a film online where a woman is squeezing a kindergartners face, and it had not occurred to me how traumatic this could be for such a young person. I hope she reads this and stops her private treatment of children. That is my goal. I am pretty angry about it. Wouldnt you be?

I love this place so much. Its so hard to find somewhere affordable that you can trust your children with. Zeb and Shah truly care about the kids at HSH. My daughter is learning so much. I love that the owners actually get to know the kids and their personalities. I would highly recommend you bring your children here. This place is wonderful.
