You would he hard pressed to find a better daycare in the area. We were having some issues at our previous daycare and, after touring many other daycares in the area, decided to send our two year old to Winwood. We were nervous to switch to a new place, but the staff here are fantastic and exceeded our expectations. Lori and Angela are kind, responsive, and run an excellent facility. Ms. Tammy, Ms. Rita, and Ms. Farhat in the older toddler classroom are the best! Everyone made us feel so welcomed and we knew within the first week that we picked the right place. Our child has thrived at Winwood, and just in the first few months, we saw huge improvements in his language skills, letter and number recognition, and social skills. He loves his class and is excited to tell us what he did every day when we pick him up. We highly recommend this center as one where the staff deeply care for the children they teach, and where there is solid communication between staff and parents to work together as a team.

My wife and I have been taking our 2 kids to Winwood for the last 18 months. They have absolutely thrived in their caring and nurturing environment. During the most challenging times of our toddlers acting out, throwing tantrums, misbehaving, etc. the teachers and entire staff have been nothing but encouraging, helpful, and supportive. Both of our kids love to go to school to learn, play, socialize, and grow with their friends. Lori and Angela will go above and beyond to ensure our kids are cared for and will return communications even during off hours. We would recommend Winwood, especially the Creighton branch, to anyone who is looking for exceptional care.

My three year old has been enrolled at Winwood for almost two years now; frankly, Winwood was a godsend after a horrendous previous daycare experience left us feeling vulnerable and afraid to trust in the daycare system. My daughter has been in three different classrooms at Winwood, and each teacher has been nothing but caring, compassionate, and attentive to her growing needs. Unlike many other daycare centers with quick teacher turnaround, Winwood has teachers who have been with the school for many years and are truly invested in the social and emotional health of their students. Ms. Cherie has a calming presence and the expertise to calm even the most venomous of tantrums in the middle toddler room. Ms. Tammy and Ms. Rita, in the older toddler room, have got potty training down to a science. They work hard to teach the kids not only how to hold a pencil or trace a letter but also how to share toys and—most importantly—hugs with friends. My daughter has built confidence and independence within the school’s close-knit community, and our drop-offs are drama free. Additionally, Lori, the director of the school, has made herself 100% available since our first day. After hearing about our previous daycare nightmare, she gave me her personal number and has continued to answer any questions I have—even on weekends when I’m not expecting a response. Ms. Angela is equally attentive to the needs of the students and teachers and will not hesitate to reach out to me about my daughter’s latest antics and achievements. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our experience at Winwood and will continue attending for years to come.

My son started at Winwood over a year ago and we welcomed a second baby in January so I thought I'd share a review as we prepare to send our smallest bundle in the next few weeks. We are lucky to live just down the street from Winwood so when I called in January of 2022 and they had an opening we jumped at the chance to send our 10mo. They even offer half days or partial weeks which was great for us because our son only needed three days at first. Winwood has been an absolute blessing! Our son has transitioned from the infant to young and then middle toddler rooms and he loves it. The teachers are some of the kindest people I've ever met and Lori and Angela (Director and Assistant Director) go above and beyond every day (they offered guidance when my son developed a terrible diaper rash at home over a long weekend and even suggested a new pediatrician when we were looking to change practices). Between the teachers and Lori and Angela they are able to pick up on when my son isn't feeling well before a fever or symptoms even develop which gives us time to get him into the pediatrician. Lately my son is struggling to say goodbye to me in the morning at drop off - the staff swoops in quickly to comfort him and by the time I get home and pull up the camera (just a few short minutes later bc we're that close) he's moved on to start his day. I've also watched teachers in his room comfort upset children throughout the day by carrying them and rubbing their back (we all have those days right?!) for hours. My son has learned so much in the last year - he talks nonstop and we attribute that to the work that his teachers put in every day. They pay attention to his interests (one teacher brought in her pet turtle from home because she realized he loves turtles) and engage with him non-stop. He's a bundle of energy and somehow they manage to match that all day long!!! I honestly feel like the team at Winwood has become our extended family! They were all counting the days until we welcomed our daughter in January and when she required a stay in the hospital they checked in constantly - and it was such a relief to know our son could maintain his routine while my husband and I navigated the NICU. It's a little scary to think about sending our second to daycare so much earlier than we sent our first but we know she will be in the very best hands just like our son has been for the last year! The only negative thing I can think of is that one day our children will have to head off to school and leave Winwood.
