The son of a friend of mine went to Kangaroo Korner Day Care for two years from 18 months old to 4…read moreyears old. I used to pick him up often, and Patty's day care was always very clean, organized and full of love and happiness! Patty was wonderful with the kids - they just loved her! His family and I could tell he was always very happy there and felt safe and loved. His mom was pleased that Patty taught the kids good manners, how to play well with friends while being challenged in a learning environment.

Continued from previous review- Patty will likely reply to…read morethis and make false statements contradicting our experience as outlined above, however please know I have absolutely NO reason to make ANY of this up. She treated many of the other parents well. So maybe this is the facility for you. I just warn you, enter with caution. You will not get the person you meet when viewing this facility. She does not treat everyone equally. Patty does not do well when parent's question or object to her way of doing things and is quite unaccommodating in this aspect. Despite her claims that her kids and parents are her family and how she values working together, her actions and behaviors contradict this regularly. Long story short, if you do as Patty says and don't ask questions or disagree, she will like and be kind to you. My wife and I are both easy-going, fun-loving individuals whose number one priority is our child. My wife and I agreed this was not a good fit so we had started the process for finding a replacement, which takes time.... So we were already on our way out. I unfortunately got to a breaking point before establishing care elsewhere, and I could not tolerate this behavior anymore from Patty-I had to literally storm out of the facility with my child due to the uncomfortable situations she routinely put me though and degrading comments regarding my eyes. This is all unfortunate because my 18-month-old enjoyed being there, she liked the other kids and got along with everyone. She is a sweet child, fun and loving and I don't know who wouldn't adore her. I don't doubt Patty's ability to watch children, not at all. It's the way she treated my wife and I, and the things mentioned previously. From a business perspective, Patty runs her daycare with a "her way or the highway" attitude. This isn't to say that she shouldn't be allowed to do this-this is her business, however, just be warned & informed. Again, I have no reason to make this information up, it benefits me in no single way. Remember that Patty wants your money, and she is the only one who has something to lose based off this review. Sure, she has years of experience, I am not doubting that in any way, but the way we were treated is absolutely uncalled for and unprofessional. We were nothing but respectful to this lady and her facility. I will say again, other parents have had a good experience here, but we did not. If this saves at least ONE family from going here and potentially experiencing what we did, then I am satisfied. Last thing I will note, after finding a new daycare facility we have already received multiple photos, videos, and daily updates of our child. In our year and 5 months with Patty I received 2 photos of my child.

My daughter joined September of 2025 when she just turned 1. She had been with myself and my mother…read moreup until that point and having worked in many Early Childhood environments myself for over a decade; I was incredibly nervous, having seen and experienced all the horror stories first hand. The Director Joanne, Assistant Director RJ, and Toddler Teachers Ms. Cami and Ms. Helen have been a God-send. They have and continuously uphold high standards, truly care about the wellbeing and education of your child, and are genuinely invested in having your family as a part of their community. It was a steep learning curve for myself, being anxious entrusting my treasure and heart to complete strangers, but through transparent communication and above and beyond efforts from the individuals above, trust and bonds were quickly built. The teachers are always focused on interacting with the children at their level and are so engaged during every moment of everyday. Both teachers put in so much time and effort, not only for the children, but also the classroom environment, so that the children truly get the best experience possible!! The consistency of attendance with the teachers are also outstanding and rare for the field!! My husband and I truly feel so grateful for these 4 individuals in helping our child during this crucial development period in her life and for helping us, her parents, get through the difficult pages of these early chapters **pictures depicting children have been edited and screenshotted to protect their privacy**

Evergreen Academy Montessori has been such a wonderful experience for our family. As a first-time…read moremom returning to work, I was incredibly nervous about putting my baby in daycare at around 3 months old, but the team here made the transition so much easier. From the very beginning, the environment has felt warm, welcoming, and supportive. The teachers and admin staff are so kind and caring, and it's clear they truly love what they do. They always take a few minutes to chat during drop-off and pick-up, which makes me feel connected and reassured about how my little one's day is going. The staff always rave about my little one and how cute and wonderful they are. Warms my heart. One of my favorite things is receiving pictures throughout the day. It's so comforting to see my little one smiling, playing, and being well cared for while I'm at work. I also really appreciate how the teachers partner with parents and share Montessori activities we can try at home. It's been so special to learn simple ways to support my child's development and continue some of the same learning and exploration outside of school. I'm so grateful for the care and attention the staff provides, and it has given me such peace of mind knowing my baby is in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Evergreen Academy Montessori to other families looking for a nurturing, supportive environment for their children.

I cannot wait until my 22 month old can start at teeter tots! I cannot recommend this school enough. Please don't let the lack of a fancy or modern facade deter you from sending your child here.

They all love children and it shows both when you're there for pick up and drop off, but also in how my child acts at home and how she talks about everyone there. She's happy. She asks to go visit them on the weekend because she loves going there. Working and having kids is a hard balance, but if you're looking for a place to have your kiddo while you're working or going to school, this is the place to go. I've not come across this consistent of care with childcare since having our daughter. If you come here, they're in good hands.

I toured EVERY daycare and preschool within a 15 mile radius for an entire year. New Song Academy was a newer operation at the time of my initial tour and they had only been open for two or three years. So, I was a little nervous at first. However, two years later after returning from work from the pandemic shut down, the director, Susan still remembered me and my son. She is always very responsive and kind. She and all of the teachers are passionate about what they do and offer a loving and enriching environment for the children. All of the teachers are experienced and educated childcare professionals. They post a reliable food menu along with a new curriculum every month that they ACTUALLY follow. Some places don't always follow through with what they say they do. This place does! The classrooms are clean and organized with a wide variety of books and toys to choose from. They provide a structured schedule which gives the kids comfort. The teachers are very much in charge of the classroom without yelling or scolding. I have yet to witness an out of control environment no matter what time I show up. No running around screaming and crying kids in the corner here. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it happens but I haven't seen it. They have a fenced outdoor playground with age appropriate play equipment. Sectioned for different age groups. Even a covered outdoor play area. The kids go outside every day. The teachers watch them closely as they play. They offer healthy food options from a variety of cultures. My son was an extremely picky eater before he started here and now he will try just about anything. We have a true community among the other families and because they are a Christian based school, we even got to see a Christmas performance with all of the children this year! They encourage the parents to volunteer to deepen that sense of community. I find this transparency very reassuring. They are focused on academics and getting the kids kindergarten ready. My son loves this school, his friends and all of his teachers! If you have been searching for quality childcare for an affordable price, this is it. I couldn't be happier with my choice and would recommend this school to anyone.

My son Micah has been attending NSA since it first opened in January of 2018. Both Susan and Michelle "teachers" are down-to-earth and have passion for children. They communicate with parents on a daily basis via app called "Kidsnote". I get to see what my son ate for lunch, how much he ate and how long he napped, what activities he participated and etc. It's very informative and helpful to learn how my child's day was at school. Good communication is so valuable and it promotes trust and transparency between the school and parents. New Song Academy is definitely NOT profit-driven but provision-driven. At the heart of New Song Academy and its teachers, there's a passion to "provide" for those precious children. Providing safe place and wonderful time for children to cherish and remember (in their life as young kids and even as grownups in the future) is what's happening at New Song Academy. They're equipping children to be content in what they do and be confident in who they are, so that they can enjoy life to fullest, respect their parents and others, and appreciate what the world has to offer. This is my belief in their teaching and care for my precious son Micah and other children who are so special. I have no hesitation to recommend New Song Academy to those parents who care so much, about their children and their life.

His two favorite people are Diana and Amanda, and honestly, they are my favorites too. They have helped my son so much. They work with him on preschool learning, and they have been incredibly supportive with potty training. Because of their patience and guidance, Kamran behaves really well there and at home he is now almost fully potty trained You can truly tell that Diana and Amanda care deeply about the kids. They are compassionate, respectful to parents, friendly, and very easy to approach. Every time I see them, it's obvious how hard they work and how much love they put into what they do. Working with children is not easy, it takes a special heart and special kind of person. They really are superheroes in this field, and they are a huge asset to this company. The owner also introduced himself to me and showed appreciation, which meant a lot. That level of hospitality made me feel even more comfortable and safe bringing my son there. I actually drive very far just so Kamran can attend this location. I truly wish there was a KidsPark closer to where we live, that would be perfect. But honestly, as long as Diana and Amanda are there, it's worth the drive. Please don't ever close! Parents like me rely on places and people like you. I don't know what I would do without you all. Thank you for taking such great care of my son.
