At first, I thought this place was great and friendly and perfect for my son. Unfortunately, he wasn’t even there a year due to multiple issues.1. He was constantly coming home with marks and I was told “I don’t know how he got them”, but they filled out forms for him pulling a toy on himself.2. My son is very picky about his company. He only really liked 1 person there until they left. Multiple times, when he had a hard time saying bye (he was 1- 1 1/2 during the time), a few people just took him out of my arms which can be very traumatic to a young child.3. I explained to the director that I was changing jobs and it would take a little to get back on my feet, and I got behind, as I said I more than likely would because we all know those first couple months between jobs is very difficult. Instead of working with me on how to get it back on track (I explained I was applying for subsidy), they increased my sons rates. By $75. Not everyone’s. Just “a few people who are behind”. So how is that going to help the debt? And then I was told that if they didn’t have the money by that night, he would be dropped.4. I have heard multiple adults yelling at the children.5. My son was constantly sick. I don’t think they clean as much and as well as I was told by multiple people.I do not recommend this place. You’re better off finding an in home babysitter.

Not only do they verbally abuse the kids. They will drop them from daycare if their parent works there and decides to get a better job. They also don’t clean and that is why kids are always getting sick

Can’t speak to the quality of the daycare itself but I just witnessed one of their transit vans run a red light and almost hit someone who was (rightfully) turning left from Grant street. At the very least, I’d avoid their transport services. I hope there weren’t any kids in the car!

We have had a wonderful experience at Waynesboro Day Care Center. Each staff member went above and beyond to get to know our child and make them feel like they belong, regardless if they were in their class or not. The unique experiences they were able to provide for our child such as cooking, bringing the farm to school, and seasonal celebrations brought so much joy to our child. I was amazed daily at everything our child had learned from WDCC. Their staff was so developmentally appropriate with their curriculum for each age group. I feel like the teachers did a great job communicating daily with what was going on in the classroom. Thank you so much for all you do!

The center is under new management and staff. When I pulled him out he went to another center that ultimately closed, then found other daycare that didn't work out.My son is back at the center and has been since November of 2018. He is thriving, happy and doing really well. If I have any issues that cannot be resolved with the staff, the director has been more than helpful.He's doing well, loves his teacher and his classmates.

We have been taking our daughter here for almost a year now and love it! She is always so happy when we pick her up and she has a great relationship with her teachers!

My son went to daycare here for a period of time and then transitioned to their preschool program (State program). He had some problems in the actual daycare, but we resolved them once we spoke with the director directly. Since he has been in the preschool, he's been doing great! The director is always friendly and willing to help, in my experience. There are obviously areas for improvement, similar to most places, but overall, we like the Waynesboro Daycare Center.

The most unprofessional job I’ve ever had. The director reprimanded me numerous times in front of co workers and kids. She acts like she doesn’t want to be bothered half the time and is constantly leaving the building. Under paid and under appreciated.

This place could be better. I'm going to write an honest review because it's not about tearing down their reputation, but rather highlighting things that could be don better. First, they need to invest in new technology. They also need to revise the incident handling process. Whenever there is an incident with the kids, I have to request a copy. Instead, they need to just have copy for my own record retention. As a parent we know the kids act up sometimes and when your busy, you might not think about every detail, but a paper copy goes a long way. They don't allow cell phones in there for good reasons, but I'm inclined to bring mine in only to snap a picture of important incidents that occur. They need to revamp their website, it's not user friendly and very outdated. They can afford to do this, no excuses for lousy tech. The sign up sheets are terrible and handwriting even more atrocious. Please for God's sake, use a type written system, or something because it's hard to read every teachers handwriting. Seems like it's disorganized and they should send out text messages and reminders that would help parents better understand the scheduling of days closed, days where packed lunches are needed, dates where they have games, etc. Text reminders emails would all be acceptable, papers get lost and not every child receive important info in their folder. These are just things from my experience that I have ran into. Again, nothing against the teachers or staff themselves, this is about logistics, communication, and streamlining processes that will be beneficial for both the business and parents.

The director doesn't takes accountability of her staff nor center. Every time an issue comes up the 1st thing she does is make excuses....."you can take your son else where" she stated, and am doing just that. As a director you should never make threats to your parents. Threats don't seat well with me when it comes to the matter of my children.

I went here for 9 years, and then all of a sudden, my kiddos were "too unruly" to go here. It almost like they want your child to sit with his hands folded at the table, and do nothing but earn them money. Shameful.

This place deserves negative stars. I am appalled of the child care or there lack of that is taking place at this facility. We have be going to this daycare for 5 years. I walked in last Thursday to an unsupervised class of 20 school aged children. The teacher was outside and came inside approximately 3-5 minutes later and proceeded to tell the children that he should have had an another teacher because there was 25 children and he was alone. I witnessed boys wrestling and picking each other up while the teacher watched, when he finally did came into the classroom from outside:My son broke his arm in the daycare on the Monday and I am wondering if among the 57 children that were reported in that classroom that if there was any or enough staff to fit the state required ratio of teacher to students. I have repeatedly ask for a meeting with the new director but no one is able to speak with me about my child. I am in the process of pulling both my children out of this daycare. DO NOT ENROLL YOUR CHILDREN!!! STAY AWAY!!! They do not know who your children are nor do they care. This is a dumping ground for kids and they should be shut down.

My son has been going there since he was 3 months old and the infant room is amazing I loved all the teachers and they loved my baby. He moved to the toddler room and they had all these rules that were not explained to me.1. he could not have a sippy cup which was crazy because he just became a toddler.he was thirsty all the time.Which i was told they give them drinks every hour (bull crap)2. I brung my child in 13 minutes after their lunch cutoff (that i didnt know about) kids were still eating and his tray was visible in my face , one provider took my son and went to feed him lunch since i told her he hadn't eaten yet, the other provider looked me dead in my face an stated do to policy they could not feed my son lunch and i had to take him home to feed him if he needed to eat lunch. Needless to say that was beyond unacceptable and a week later i took him out of the center. Rules are set into place for a reason i understand that but to not feed a child is crazy and i will not pay for anyone that is okay with this rule.

Waynesboro Day Care Center is a really great day care center. The teachers are very attentive to my child and he is learning and growing so much with them. The Center has an academic curriculum for each classroom, even the 1 year olds, so that while the kids are having "fun" they are actually learning their letters, numbers, shapes, and colors. My son's been going there since he was a year old and he loves it there. I feel safe dropping him off to "have fun" while I work, and I always look forward to hearing how his day was. The Teachers are friendly, and easy to talk to. The Director is reallly nice also and is willing to work with you and help you in any way she can. This Daycare is the only 4 Keystone Star ( in town which means that they are continuously improving these early learning programs to keep up with the Pennsylvania Dept. Of Education Standards. I would definitely recommend this Daycare to anyone who is looking for a really great Day Care Center.
