Natures Childcare

This is by far the best center I have ever been to! When my daughter was an infant, I was very hesitant in childcare so I toured about a dozen different places. I finally decided to try Nature's and I am so thankful that I did!!! The staff there is incredible! They are loving, go above and beyond caring for my little girl, and constantly teaching her something new! My daughter is now 4 and a half and is already reading! They teach her Phonics, Science, Math, and Art every day, even before Kindergarten!!! I can't say enough about Nature's!!

Great place to take your child. The center is so clean and professional. The teachers are happy and care about my child's happiness. Thanks so much guys!

This place is amazing! I read some of the past reviews and it definately has changed since years back. My daughter has learned so much and I could not be happier. Her teachers are the best!

I absolutely love this place!!! I've read some reviews and am completely blown away! Are we talking about the same place? My daughter has been at Nature's Child since she was an infant and is now 6 years old. In the time of us being enrolled we have fallen in love with this place. They have shown nothing but outstanding curriculum, cleanliness, top-notch security, and they love my child. It is true that there has been staff changes, but the only reason i have known staff to leave is because they went on to school or because they were let go because they were not doing a good job. The director is amazing and is always willing to help and work with you. Staff is friendly, always welcomes us, and takes great care of my child! It seems the people who have previously written a negative review either didn't give Nature's a chance at all, or for some reason have it out for someone there. This place is BY FAR the best daycare in the Treasure Valley!!

MY SON LOVED IT THERE UNTIL THEY STARTED FIRING ALL THEIR TEACHERS AND THEN HE WAS SO CONFUSED AND SAD THAT HIS "TEACHERS" WERE GONE THAT HE HATED GOING. WE CUT BACK TO PART TIME AND HE WAS STILL MISERABLE. I HAVE BEEN THERE NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE AFTERNOON WITH A 17 OR 18 YEAR OLD VACUMMING WITH ALL THE KIDS WATCHING A MOVIE AND EATING SUCKERS! THEY WERE NOT WATCHED AT ALL. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY THERE, SOME TEACHERS WE HAVE FELL IN LOVE WITH BUT MOST OF THEM EITHER LEAVE BECAUSE IT'S NOT A GOOD PLACE TO WORK OR THEY GET FIRED FOR NO REASON. I HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD TONS OF DRAMA BETWEEN THE CO WORKERS! PLEASE FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO TAKE YOUR CHILD IF YOU LOVE AND CARE ABOUT THEM. THANK YOU.

Very disappointed in their care. My son began in their infant room - which is AMAZING! If you need infant care, you won't go wrong with Marina -she is wonderful! - but from there, forget it! We have been put through hell and back. They continue to fire their teachers, on top of that the ratio are way over the top. Have spoken to the mgmt and owner countless times and it goes into one ear and out the other.. it's all about $$$. Yes is it new and clean, but from there it is just a place to dump your kid off. I personally witnessed an asst. teacher pull a child from a chair off the ground and pull them to another side of the table. When I ran to find a manager -- to my surprise, thinking she would be fired -- found her to be still working there after her maternity leave!!!!! The good teachers do the best with what they can, but the only have enough time to change diapers, somewhat feed the kids and clean-up the daily discipline - beating issues -- it's become a jungle. Once I am able to get my child into another center we are done! I am fed up with lies, not action and watching these children become pushed aside at the hands of greed and lack of priority.



Not to mention, their website posts their learning objectives and Montessori curriculum -- in the 2 years my son has been there it have NEVER happened -- and I have talked to many of the other parents who have reported the same concerns.

Beautiful building, untrained staff. I walked into my sons room and found 24 toddlers with one teacher. I also found that this was the norm not an exception.
