Nice location. Well organized, clean inviting environment for children with very committed kind and friendly staff. Strict policies, but most are in place to protect the children, which are clearly the focus of the family owned managment that seems to be involved in every aspect of the business, which I find a positive factor. Comfort and individual attention for each child's needs, interests and abilities are what we enjoyed most. Good overall security is in place, parents key in a code that allows access and we are also able to view the center, children and staff via a web-based camera system. You can call in to your child's class at any time during the day and see how they are doing. Tours are scheduled in advance, so outsiders who drop by to "take a look" are not allowed inside, which I feel very good about! A Child's Space holds nice events for parents, staff and children to help reinforce a great sense of community. It would be great if they had more parking, during drop off and pick up, it gets really tight in that area. I would definitely recommend A Child's Space.... It stands up to many of the best places that I have seen... quite well. Make an appointment.... and judge for yourself.

Pros: Location, staff, interior environment

Cons: limited parking

This is a great day care. We put our daughter in at three months and she has significantly developed physically and intellectually because of their constant attention and stimulation. We visited two other daycares before this one, and yes we may have waited a few long minutes for them to open the door and even when they opened the door they didn't let us in, BUT that is to say they are cautious. Why would you want them to blindly open the door to strangers? Because it is a downtown area, you never know who's lurking around. We don't even open our door at home to strangers, so why would you want them to do it? The other two daycares blindly buzzed us in. In one, we had to fold up our stroller and it took us about 5 minutes to get to their office . They didn't come out to greet us or to see who they buzzed in. What's the point of the buzzer? That was strange and very risky. The staff at A Child's Space are super nurturing, caring and friendly. The parents always smile and greet each other. The activities are great as well. All this and they have webcam. You can totally watch your child all day long. We are planning to move out of the neighborhood in a few months, but we plan to keep our baby at A Child's Space because we love it and it's still close to work.

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: Parking. But we are downtown, there's usually no free place to park.
