Why Fields of Fun Child Care?

Testimonials

  • We love Fields of Fun but more importantly my son loves it! We switched to Fields of Fun when my son was 18 months. He was having severe separation anxiety, at another daycare, to the point that he was vomiting. Within 2 weeks, at Fields of Fun, he started walking into his room and not even giving me a second look. Sometimes he cries when I pick him up to go home!!! Also within a week of starting,, he was proficiently signing “more” and “all done” which we had been trying to do for months. Can’t recommend Fields of Fun enough!

  • I love FOF! My children have been going here since they were infants and I can honestly say that this place has contributed to their development tremendously! They help with potty training and teach colors, ABCs, and much more. The staff is phenomenal. Plus daily photos and communication.

    Ally

  • Since the first day at Fields of Fun, our son has thrived. We get almost daily pictures and/or videos. Lots of art and creative ways for our son to express himself. One of my favorite things about Fields of Fun, is all the fun things that are done. During holidays, there are weekly activities, art to come home, and festive things that parents can be involved in as well.

    Alexander

  • My two children attend as well as I personally work here. And I cannot express the level of appreciation they give and have for their children and staff. The level of learning they get from the teachers there is excellent. My daughter started in the 2s and the teacher potty trained her in 2 months tops! And my son started in the mobile infants room and has received so much love and help through the 2 - almost 3 rooms! I appreciate them so much!

    Shayla

  • We have had a tough time finding good childcare since our son was born in 2020. Unfortunate events at our previous care lead me to pulling our son out of daycare. We were reluctant on trusting a daycare again. But we found Fields of Fun shortly after they opened and have been enrolled ever since. We love the staff. Our son is learning so much and we are so lucky to have found such a great, clean, safe place for our son to be cared for. Without question I would recommend Fields of Fun.

    Devin

  • I was reaching out to a bunch of daycares in the area and fields of fun was the first and only daycare to reply the day I reached out. They were very easy to work with while setting up a tour to walk through the daycare and made everything very easy for us! A big reason I wanted a daycare center over an in home is because I wanted something structured to help my son learn and that’s exactly what fields of fun provides! My son has been there for over a year and he’s hitting all of his milestones for his age and they are even helping him potty train! I’m definitely thankful I found this place!

    Abby

  • I cant say enough about the Fields of Fun staff and team members. They do an amazing job of with the kids and are very outgoing with the families. The staff take the time to understand to learn each child's personalities and help them grow! Go Fields of Fun!

Secure Entry

 
Our building has a secure entrance that requires a fingerprint scan for entry. Our main office has a viewing window into our entry as well as security cameras, allowing us to monitor who is entering and leaving.

Video Surveillance In Each Room

 
We know how difficult it is to bring your child to a new care setting, knowing that all rooms are monitored to ensure safe practices are being carried out can help ease some of your worry.

Nursing Room

 
Private areas are available for mothers to nurse. Mothers are encouraged to take advantage of this option as we know the importance and benefits of breastfeeding. We want to help make nursing as convenient as possible.

Communication

 
Not only do we encourage parent-teacher interaction during drop off and pick up but we also utilize Brightwheel. With the use of the Brightwheel App, our teachers can interact with parents throughout the day via comments, pictures, and noting when a child has eaten, pottied, or any other activities.

Character Building

 
While curriculum is very important, character building is just as important and crucial to learn early on. We introduce and incorporate the importance of being kind, compassionate, and polite every day. We partner with Grant Wood AEA to ensure all social, educational, and behavioral needs are met.

Family Support

 
It can be difficult to navigate through parenting and we are here to help in any way possible. We invite any questions on any matter and will do what we can to assist you and all your child care needs.

Structure and Curriculum

 
There is no doubt that having structure in a child’s day is essential, no matter the age. We provide structure and age appropriate curriculum in all of our classrooms. In our infant rooms, we work with the families to ensure at-home schedules are met throughout the day. We use Creative Curriculum™, a comprehensive and research-based curriculum that features hands-on, project-based investigations as a pathway to learning.

Staff
