It's a home based daycare for 2 to 5 year olds so you have all the comforts of home (with a small group of other kids) plus a preschool curriculum. Theresa posts photos and videos on the parent log-in page on her website so we can see what our son has been up to at daycare. We love the art he brings home, that he talks about the other children, and that he's learning so much -- daily life skills, social skills, and early academics. I strongly recommend Little Sprouts. Really glad we chose it for our son.

I cannot say enough great things about AMS, as evidenced by sending our fourth child to AMS. My…read morethree older children, who attended AMS between 2017 and 2022, all with different learning abilities and skillsets were extremely prepared for Elmbrook Schools. The education, social, and emotional skills they all gained at AMS has propelled their learning and abilities and we are still reaping the benefits of AMS today. Our youngest, who is currently attending AMS full time, including their full-time wrap care program, absolutely loves going to school. I love the personal photos and updates from everyone at the school; the level of personal care and concern for all of my children while in the hands of the AMS staff is absolutely unmatched.

When we were looking for a daycare for our infant last year, we visited several providers in the…read morearea. In the end, we picked All 'Bout Children for their Outdoor Classroom Certification, bilingual curriculum, and partnership with Burleigh Elementary to provide before and after school care (he doesn't need it yet, but glad to know its an option). In the end, we have not been disappointed! The teaching staff is genuinely caring and engaged with the little guy's development. Not only do they take the time to answer all our questions (patiently), but we get daily updates in real-time on potties, feedings, and various other milestones - but the best part is they provide pictures almost daily which is a great treat when I'm at work thinking about him :) Their spots fill up quickly, but if you are looking for a new daycare, I recommend taking a tour.

Things I love: they send pictures and videos all day, they call and communicate often, they team with parents, they have activities that help develop their social, emotional, and physical growth, they are always outside exploring when the weather permits, and they show love and tlc to the children in their care. This preschool/daycare is truly a hidden gem.

We hosted a 5th birthday party for 12 kids and it was a huge hit!…read more To begin with, we were familiar with MadScience because my son is an MPS, student and they have visited his school with projects and demos. We thought it would be a unique party idea. While the Mad Scientists will come to your house, we opted to have the party at their lab. We had a 10am party and the standard party lasts 1-1/2 hours. You can add more time if you want to, but we just opted for the basic. I was nervous that 1-1/2 hours wouldn't be enough time. Given that we chose a party time after breakfast and before lunch, we just did lots of snacks and cupcakes, and it was perfect. If you want to do pizza or extra play time, another 1/2 hour or so would be better. The set-up itself is great. They have picnic table style seating, and when you arrive, some of them have different types of activity boards to play with. There are a ton of stations of toys for the kids to play with and explore before and after the demo. Our group had a 2 year old who could find safe things to play with and even a 10 year old that enjoyed all the activities. They have all the plates, cups, napkins, cutlery, etc. and even have ice cream scoops and lighters for candles. It was great to see how many bases they had covered. I didn't feel the need to add table cloths to anything so really, what you need to bring is minimal. The general decor of the place is awesome. They even had name tags for your to write names on when you walk in. Dr. Molly was our Mad Scientist, and she was so entertaining, enthusiastic and funny! She (safely) used fire, electricity and more. She talked about several science concepts, but kept it basic enough that the young kids could follow what she was talking about. Most importantly though-she made it fun! Even the adults loved the experiments. We made slime and added on the cotton candy making. The kids loved all the activities, had a blast and got to take home a project and a treat. The birthday boy got his own lab coat and was excited to wear it during the demo. Dr. Molly went out of her way to include him where she could. I appreciated her effort to make it special for him. We also brought little safety glasses from Amazon (Search: Gateway Safety 3699 Colorful StarLite Gumballs Safety Glasses, Small) They were perfect for their size, and the kids could take them home. Otherwise, they had a big basket of science goggles that the kids can wear. I am definitely going to looking for more opportunities to visit! All in all: -It's not the cheapest party, but it definitely is unique. -Great communication before the party, and everyone I talked to was super nice and helpful. -They make the party easy for you. -Easy to find. -So much for the kids to do on-site--you don't need to entertain them. -Five is probably the youngest age I'd recommend. -Twelve kids + parents + some extra family was a comfortably full house. There was room for more-just not a ton more. If you have older kids, I'd say that parents could comfortably drop them off. -Check out the party add-ons. We liked the idea of the rocket launch but our party day was rainy so I'm glad we opted for the cotton candy.

Every day our son is super excited to head out to daycare and has the most amazing time there all day. Lots of learning time, playtime and fun/educational activities. I get multiple emails from teachers every day with descriptions of daily activities as well as pictures. The fact the KRA has cameras in every room and playgrounds is a huge plus. I can log in and watch what my kids is doing anywhere and anytime! Amazing feature! I would highly recommend Kids Rule Academy to every parent who is looking for a perfect daycare for their kids!

This was not the childcare facility for our family. We went through 2 tours/discussions with the…read moreDirector before selecting this as the place to enroll our daughter. Unfortunately, in practice, we did not find KRA the same as what they advertised from our questions/expectations; and, at times, we found some of their policies concerning compared to our other daycare experiences. We withdrew our daughter after 3 days. I should start by saying, we have had 2 AMAZING previous daycares. In fairness, our standards may just be significant higher than most because we have seen it done better. I think if this is your only daycare experience it may not be the worst thing in the world, but it did not align with previous practices that we have come to rely on. These were my primary concerns with the toddler rooms: * Issue: Limited communication with parents. We asked about daily logs/App and we were promised a daily personalized email from the teachers regarding your kids day and any pertinent info. In practice, we got a generic (and in broken english) bcc'd email to all parents that did not include diapering, feeding, or napping info. This detail level was common practice at previous daycares and is required by state law (diapers). Without this info, at KRA we had concerns about them not changing her diaper at an appropriate rate; especially when she came home with a rash (and had not had one in over a year). Once we exited, there were only 5 diapers missing for 2.5 days (approximately 22hrs in their care which seemed really low). At previous daycares, they changed her every 2hrs per state law and went through 4-5 diapers per day. To me as a parent, this lack of communication was key because it helps me prep for the evening we are going to have at home (did she poop yet or does her tummy hurt? Is she starving and need a snack or can she wait for dinner? Did she nap for 1hr or 3hrs to help determine bedtime?) * Issue: Teacher to student ratios. We were concerned about engagement with our child after observing a classroom + ratios since she is a younger kid moving into an older classroom. We were told it was an off day and awkward time as they were prepping for snack. They said they complied within state regulations. In watching her classroom, the ratio was 10 kids to 2 teachers. State requirement is 8:2 for our daughters age group. Morning drop off was worse with 12+ kids to 1 teacher that we witnessed on their camera system. Additionally, we watched our daughter be ignored while crying in a corner after another kid hit her, we saw very little interaction at the kid level (playing on the floor with them), etc. When we left, the owner called this classroom "glorified babysitters". *Issue: Security. At our first daycare, I had to badge into the daycare building. At our second, they use a finger print scanner. At KRA, they leave the doors open. A friend of ours while touring witnessed older kids running outside without supervision because of the unlocked doors/lack of front desk near the doors. (PS we have never visited a daycare where we didn't have to buzzed in except this one). Additionally, due to the room set up (no windows on doors) older kid rooms doors are left open. This only became an issue during drop-off when the student-teacher ratio was so high. 2 older kids dashed out of the room, and the teacher followed them. This left 10+ kids unattended for a few minutes while she chased them down. * Issue: Safety. There was an unreported and undocumented level of care to a deep scrap on my daughters thigh. It had bled but no one could tell me if they treated it or not. I get they may not have seen what happened (she is almost 2 and falls a lot), but there still should have been an accident report from a regulation standpoint. *Issue: TV Time: We witnessed on the camera system a lot of TV time (more than what they told to us when we first asked about TVs in all the classrooms) and with that a lack of teacher involvement with the kids. The kids in the toddler class also seemed less verbal than what we were used to at other daycares and I believe that it comes from a lack engagement. We had a lot of developmental concerns here since our daughter has been considered advanced up to this point and we did not want to see her fall behind. Obviously not everyone has had this experience with them and they have some good clientele (doctors, lawyers, bankers). But, after 2 days, I consulted a friend in the industry and she said a lot of these practices would not be tolerated. It was at that point we decided to withdraw her.
