My son is almost 1 year old and has been at BB since he was about 5/6 months.. I love it there! They keep him on my feeding schedule, he is always happy, the teachers are great.. So friendly and helpful. You can tell they genuinely care about the kids and form relationships with them. Even teachers from other classrooms know who my son is and that makes me feel very comfortable. He will definitely continue growing in BB!
