I found Apple Creek after asking for preschool recommendations in the Frisco Moms Group... and…read moreApple Creek was recommended more than ten times. Now I understand why. They provide one of the most affordable early-education programs in the entire area -- truly a fraction of what many preschools charge -- yet the quality of education is unmatched. The teachers are warm, patient, and genuinely invested in every child. The curriculum is structured, creative, and intentional, and they make learning feel fun and exciting for the kids. My child has grown so much academically and socially since starting here. We feel grateful every day that we found this little gem. If you're looking for a place that feels safe, loving, high-quality, and still affordable... Apple Creek is your only choice!!

As in any school or establishment individual experience is going to be different, depending upon the teacher in classroom in with your child is placed. I picked my child up today only to hear her screaming at him through the door. I arrived early to pick him up. As I approached the classroom door I heard her yelling at him to go to sleep calling him a baby and telling him he needs to go to the baby room since he won't sleep. My son was crying telling her he didn't want to go to the baby room saying "I'm a big boy". This was not a stern or firm teacher voice, this was screaming and berating my son in front of his classmates during their nap time. My son should not have had to go through that, the other children in the class should not have had to hear that. As a former teacher myself this is NO WAY in which to speak to a child, especially for not napping. This "teacher" does not deserve the title and should not be working with children. Once she came to the door, her tone completely changed, she became extremely soft spoken and sweet. The hypocrisy was ridiculous. I mentioned the experience to the front staff as the director of the school was not there. They apologized.

If you read the one-star reviews, you'll notice a common theme: poor treatment of children. As…read moreparents, we diligently research daycares and carefully place our children at a childcare facility where we think that they will be loved and cared for. As such, I decided to write about my child's experience because I would never want any parent to experience the pain and frustration that my husband and I experienced. Our child attended Pinnacle Montessori of Frisco from three months old until our child was 16 months. The month before we withdrew our child, we expressed our concerns to the director regarding whether they were communicating our child's medical information to every person who cared for our child, as well as our frustration regarding the fact that, for two days in a row, two different jackets were unable to be located when we picked up our child. After this complaint, our child started receiving negative behavior comments frequently. To put things into context, our child received their first negative report ever on the same day that we notified the teacher of the missing jacket (i.e., the day before our complaint). Thereafter, our child typically received several negative reports each WEEK. Our child was 15 months old at the time. We met with our child's primary teacher to discuss our concerns regarding the frequency and the nature of the negative reports. We were told that the reports weren't meant to suggest that our child was doing something bad, they were more so to let parents know how their child's day went. A few days after this meeting, the director stopped me on my way out the door after dropping my child off and informed me that if my 15-month-old child continued to receive negative reports for the next three months, then maybe my child is communicating that Montessori is not for them. I took this as a thinly-veiled threat to kick my 15-month-old child out based on frequent "negative" reports that coincidentally started occurring after my complaint. Of course, this direct contradiction regarding the intention behind the reports resulted in us having a meeting with the director and the teacher. At the meeting, the director informed my husband and me that we were "too sensitive" and that she had no reason to have a problem with our child because we pay on time each month, and the teachers have never had a problem with us. This was jarring to us because no childcare facility should differ the level of care and treatment that they provide to a child based upon the child's parents' ability to pay on time. After this meeting, things went from bad to worse. Our child came home with a diaper rash that was so severe that it required a medical prescription and for our child to stay home an entire week. We sent our child to this facility for only three more days after the diaper rash healed. On the third day, our child was sent home without a shirt on. When we asked the front desk why our child's shirt was not on our child's body, they informed us that our child spilled water on the shirt, and they didn't have a backup shirt. They did not even bother to notify us to let us know our child needed a shirt. Had they cared enough for our child to notify us, we could have immediately resolved the issue that day. Needless to say, that was our child's last day. I hope any parent of a prospective attendee finds my review helpful. For any parent whose child still attends this facility, you may want to pay close attention to how your child is being treated, especially if (i) you don't pay on time or (ii) you have ever complained to the staff/director.

Where do I start...I can't say enough about Preston Kiddie Kollege! The owner, and staff are…read moreAMAZING!!!! My oldest went to two other daycares and they were basically expensive-glorified babysitters. He was about 5 when he started PKK and all of the 5 years olds in his class knew their sight words, addition and subtraction. I felt guilty because he had a lot of catching up to do. His teacher, Mrs. P who is absolutely amazing worked with him to get him caught up to where the other kids were, and by the time he graduated he was ready for kindergarten. As for my little one he started a little after he turned one. He adjusted quickly, but a few years later COVID hits and we pull him out. While he was out, PKK scheduled zoom calls for my son and the other kids who were also at home, to see each other, sent multiple learning websites for the kids to continue learning, and his teacher worked with them as well. A year and a half passes us, we re-enrolled him Aug 2021 and he was not feeling daycare AT ALL! The owner Ms. Maria made it a point to come outside to get him from the car to reassure him school was ok. She still does this!!! I think the best part of his day is helping her make her morning coffee. It took him about 3 wks to adjust and now he wants to go to school on weekends ‍ which says a lot. Ok, moving onto breakfast and lunch. He no longer eats breakfast at home because he prefers to eat their breakfast and he brags about how Mrs. Maria is the best cook in the world!!! Yes, he actually said she cooks better than mom and dad! ‍ We all have choices in daycares, and we all want to make the best choice for our children. In my opinion this school is by far the best! I have many daycares close to home, even one less than a mile away, but I continue to drive 22 minutes because (1) I know my child is safe, (2) he's actually learning, (3) the class sizes way smaller, (4) my child is eating healthy food made with love by the owner, where other schools had my oldest son eating microwave lunches, and (5) the teachers know your child by name says a lot! I hope this review helps any mom or dad struggling to make a choice. I was nervous, but this has been the best experience and decision for our family!!!

My little ones went to KALE for a few months. The turnover was high (yes, everyone is dealing with…read morestress and pressure during COVID) and the communication was inadequate. I interviewed lots of child care centers prior to settling with KALE. The director I met a month before was not the same when my kids started. When they got a new teacher for my kid's class, they did not inform the parents. Luckily, I paid additional ($40/month) for the cameras so I questioned my kiddo about the new teacher. Other parents had no idea for at least a month. There were 22 kids crammed into a room with one teacher and a floating teacher sometimes. As for the cameras, they did not charge monthly. They deducted the total from the refundable deposit. With the constant changes, organization is not a priority. I asked the director two weeks prior to Christmas what the plan was and she said she is just thinking about the next day. Yikes! One of my kiddos was not acclimating well to the new environment and she couldn't get any attention from the teacher since the teacher was wrangling almost 20 kids. My kid was usually alone and I didn't see the teacher trying to engage or encourage her to join the rest of the class. I pick up my little one at the same time every day right before nap time. Sometimes, they would have the kids wait by the door for over 30 minutes in the dark. Speaking of doors, they do not have conventional closed doors. All doors are short so you can hear everything going on in other classes. Onto the neutral/plus side, the school had some potential. The meals were on par with other places, the curriculum was admirably challenging, and they tried to set up events on Sundays but they were usually low turnouts. I wish the school all the best but I can't recommend it to my fellow parent friends and their kids.
