In response to the review from a parent who was unhappy with the toys & the curriculum at Beacon Center: Our curriculum is full of creative, interesting themes and activities. We have a curriculum coordinator on staff who insures that our activities are both fun and challenging. We're devoted to developing the "whole child", & focus on value centered education where children learn "by doing", while having a great time! We do Math & Reading Readiness, Arts & Crafts, Story Time, Science, Music & Dance, Language Classes, Gardening, Puppetry and Theatrical activities along with free play & outdoor play time. We consider the many interests of the children as well as their individual learning styles. As for the comments about toys, we wash them often, replace them with new ones, and we are fully licensed by the state. I strongly suggest that you come & visit. You'll quickly see we're a top notch, warm, & happy place where "kids" get to be "kids" & who are sad when it's time to go home.

absolutely no structure - no teaching of letters or numbers, or how to hold a pencil or tracing letters - things that are standard in the other toddler programs around town! and if you try to talk to them about it, they shoo you away as if you're annoying them. very dirty toys that have to be at least 15-20 years old. it's a joke to call it "tuition" when it's really a dingy, dirty day care!!! only reason there is a waiting list here is (if there is one indeed) is simply because of a supply demand issue - there are so many kids and essentially the same number of programs like this. i wish i had looked critically at this when i started my child, because i would have never come here.
