I know the hours, location, number etc. I want to know if anyone has experience sending their kids there? any reviews? were you happy with the place? would you recommend it? would you send kids there? what kind of hashkafa runs it? are they reliable with kashrus and chinuch? Thanks in advance for any and all info!

don't send food. everyone eats the same food. she cooks the food, glatt kosher, chalav yisrael, pas yisrael.
hot meals, depending on the hours, provides breakfast, lunch, dinner and two snacks.

diapers welcome. if he's in diapers, then for water activities in the summer, get "swimmers"
for water play, need to send swimmers, shoes, towel, cream?

I've worked there in the past (not as a morah) . dont know how old your child is but they have a LOT of babies there, not enough staff. As far as the bigger kids, a lot of the morahs are part time so the kids have a bunch of different morahs throughout the day.
