WARNING- Not Supportive to Breastfeeding Moms. I dont often write reviews, but I felt compelled to tell other moms of my experience. My daughter was at Hansel & Gretel for a few months. In that time there were several changes to the baby rooms. During one of the changes I was told that the breastmilk would be left out of the refrigerator the entire day because they "didnt have enough staff" to go to the refrigerator to get it. I complained about this as the breastmilk I brought was warm when I picked up my child. They needed to make a "special provision" for me to keep my childs breastmilk in the refrigerator after I complained. They also did not have a place for moms to breastfeed. In the several months that I was there, I breastfed my child a handful of times at the center and felt discriminated against for doing it. When I asked the teachers if it there was a place to breastfeed, they would offer me a toddler chair or the floor. After I breastfed one time, I was approached by the owner, April, who told me that if I were to breastfeed, I needed to “find a corner” “or sit facing a wall” with my child’s head completely covered. April was very rude and patronizing (which is her typical demeanor). When I told her that covering my child’s head was not something I felt comfortable with, I was told that I needed to hold my baby a particular way in order to breastfeed. Even though Hansel and Gretel has been officially investigated by CPS and has said that it intends to make changes, I would not recommend this facility. I especially feel this way since April fills in often and watches the children. If I feel this way when talked to by her, how will my daughter feel being watched by her? My daughter’s new daycare is great! So happy we left.

Excellent childcare for my infant, no major illnesses and no diaper rash! Even better for my 3 year old - many educational activities and art projects. No complaints after having a child there for over 2 years. Bonus that 2 snacks, lunch, and milk is provided by facility.
