My son went here for almost a year from 8 months to 18 months and they did great overall! Angela is the infant teacher and she is amazing!! She constantly gave updates and would talk with me about my son. He loved her and so did I! I will say they did have trouble with keeping staff while we were there and most teachers were good except Makayla. Her daughter attended the daycare and was often in her class and I found that to be distracting for her as she would pay most attention to her daughter. She was also not professional and we will leave it at that. The toddler room had trouble keeping the app updated with his daily diaper changes and nap. They can improve on that. I went to the director many times with this issue. Carly, the director, was great at listening when I had any questions or issues and she is very sweet. Overall, this is a good daycare. Angela, Carly and Autumn hold it together and take great care of the children!
I can't say enough positive things about Sparks! My daughter started in the infant room in June 2019 and as she learned to walk and progressed at her own pace, they made the decision to move her up with the toddlers after they knew she was big enough and had the skills to interact with the bigger kids. I love that they took the time to evaluate her as an individual and address her needs as she grew, instead of just bumping her up when she hit a specific age. The day I toured the daycare the teacher in the infant room had the babies seated, gathered around and quietly listening to a story. Wow! The teachers have listened to my dietary requests as my daughter transitioned from homemade purees and breast milk to all solid foods, and we've not had a single issue. She is now learning to use utensils at mealtime, and we didn't even start that at home. They use the bright wheel app to communicate with parents, so I get pictures of her play and her art all day long. We also get notifications on her meals and diaper changes throughout the day. It was scary to leave my daughter with anyone after taking her with me every day for 8 months, but the staff at Sparks put me at ease immediately. I can't recommend them enough! Fair pricing, structured curriculum for all ages, and truly compassionate teachers. My little one now nods her head yes when asked if she's ready to go to "school." We are so happy with Sparks Learning Center!
