The Little Red Barn is a Terrific Choice for Daycare

The first thing I noticed when I walked through the front door of the Little Red Barn Preschool in Seguin was the clean look and smell of the school. Alot of times, you walk into a daycare and it smells like a daycare, but this was definately different. I felt as if I was walking into someone's home. It was clean and fresh and looked as if it had just been completely sanitized even though I came in unannounced in the middle of the day. The wood flooring in the front entrance was clean and spotless and the walls were white and bright with children's drawings neatly placed. The layout of the particular building where our daughter is cared for is open and airy. Apparently, the building had at one time been someone's home but was converted to a school. This particular house, as well as the two on either side (all owned by Little Red Barn), are older Victorian type houses in the Historical District of Seguin. I believe that the house on one side of my daughter's building houses the main office and all of the business aspects of LRB. The other house is for the older, school aged kids to go before and after school - yes, LRB picks up from all local schools.  At any rate, the layout  for each individual room is so cheery and colorful and always decorated with the work of future Picasso's and Renoir's! There is a TV in one of the rooms, but the time spent watching it is limited to early in the mornings before breakfast and late in the afternoons when parents start arriving. In between those times, it is not uncommon to see one group of kids sitting in "circle time" listening to a story or singing a song while another group is in the room across the hall doing art work or outside on the expansive and age appropriate play areas. Safety is key to any daycare and Little Red Barn exceeds this aspect. The areas in the play yards are fenced off for different age groups and the children have careful eyes trained on them at all times.
