KidsTown Drop-In Child Care Center

Concept and location are great and the hours are ideal. The lunch offerings are appropriate and the front staff is friendly. The toys are good and the space is great for a drop in. Some of the caretakers however come across annoyed angry and even intimidating to children and parents. For many children this is a brief get away from home and they have not been in a lot of settings like this and it seems like some of the staff are too comfortable with speaking to the children perhaps the way they speak to their own, which could become a problem because I would never speak to my children the way I heard some of staff speaking to children with kind of emotionless harsh tones. Yes they do a great job keeping the children safe but having quality caretakers to keep the children happy and really care about them is another. Today may have just been an off day for what I observed. I hope so.

My 3 year old daughter regularly attends Kidstown at Mayfair and our experience has been exceptional EVERY time! Honestly, I don’t know how they do it. The caregivers there are miracle workers and they manage any number of children at different ages with individual needs with grace, patience, and calm. My little girl loves going to Kidstown and often comes home with art projects, new dance or yoga moves and stories to share with us. I HIGHLY recommend this facility and all their employees!

I am writing this because I had such a great experience with this childcare. It can be a difficult and stressful process to find a place to care for your child, and I was so stressed because I needed to find childcare for my son for a few days a week, odd hours and short-​term. I was not having any luck until I discovered Kids Town Mayfield. It was clean and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and my son had fun while he was there. The young lady that assisted me during registration was very upbeat and confident, which was a nice change to some of the more indifferent and even rude people I spoke with at other places. I wanted to write this review to make sure they know how happy I am with my experience! It is comforting to know there is a reliable drop-​in childcare available if we need it.

I had heard good things from one other mommy, but was skeptical about a daycare in a strip mall to be perfectly honest. But, this place is so convenient to where we live, I kept thinking about it.
The other day I decided to stop in and take a quick tour, just in case we were ever in a bind. The place was immaculate. There were only a few kids there, but they looked quite happy and healthy. :) Their ratio is 5:1, they offer snacks and meals for reasonable prices (but you can bring your own and they’ll use that too), and they have tons of toys that my 20-​month-​old was immediately drawn to.
After seeing how nice this place was, my husband and I decided to have a last-​minute date night. They were very professional as we were checking her in and our baby went right in without even looking back to wonder where we were.
We ended up staying out a little later than we had planned (until 10:30) and were worried that our very-hard-to-put-to-sleep-unless-she’s-in-her-own-quiet-dark-crib daughter would still be awake and happily playing. Nope! She was crashed out on a mat with the sleep sack we had left and another little blanky to boot. Plus, everything had been packed back into our diaper bag so we could just pay, grab her, and get her into her own bed.
Great experience! Wish I had trusted that other mommy sooner and checked it out months ago.

Took in my 13 month old so daddy and I could have date night around the corner she had a fantastic time and they made sure she was dry and clean the whole time! We will be back!
