Like any parent, i was very worried about putting my child in day care for the first time, but I was quickly put at ease when i found this place. The infant/toddler room staff Kisha, Stacy and Lorna are fantastic with my son, and the other kids. You can tell they truly care and he is happy to be dropped off with them each day. They even have an app they updates me with pictures, meal times, and diaper changes so i know what's going on with him. The other staff who occasionally watch the babies, Frishta, Kathe, and Sveta are great too and always warm and welcoming when i come in. Puneet, the owner is very nice and easygoing too.

Busy Bees went through an ownership change in early 2022…read more Safety My kids came home scratched up and bruised multiple times, and I never got a report of the incident. When I asked what happened to my daughter to the main teacher, the teacher had no idea and the teacher said to follow up but never got a response back. COVID-19 response The staff never wore masks and never required kids to wear masks but one Monday all staff were masked up, it was eerie. Later that day, the school notified me that my kids were exposed to COVID-19 with no details of exposure, and the school was closed for a week. The tuition was reimbursed. Discipline Policy There was a child who is disruptive and harmful to other students, the school had no procedure to correct the kid's behavior. The kid was aware of no consequences for his behavior and bullied kids who were playing alone or kids who doesn't retaliate. Teachers appeared not responsive until kids scream, cry, or tell teachers for help. Basic manners such as taking turns, sharing with others, and being kind to others were not important to teachers and were not disciplined. If these are not taught in a school, why should I even bother sending my kid here? My kid got chased, sand over her hair, and her sand castle was destroyed by one kid. The staff never tried to stop the bullying behavior, they didn't even know it was happening. Teacher-to-Student ratio The school advertises a 1:6 ratio. One teacher and two assistant teachers for 18 kids. However, that's only in the classroom. When kids are outside at the playground, the teacher stays inside the classroom and only assistant teachers are monitoring the kids.

Their favorite is the binary code, electricity, technology & circuits.... Their dad was working on something over the wknd and the girls said to dad, "that is a circuit board". Melt my heart that they remember and talk about it at home.

I'm a mom of three and really struggled with the preschool decision. My daughters have very different personalities and Applebee caters to both of their needs. I love dropping my kids off at school and feel great while at work knowing they are getting amazing care. My oldest daughter - Madelyn. She's very sweet, slow to warm up, sensitive and loves to follow directions. She's a model student. I feel that Applebee really got Madelyn out of her shell and encouraged her to explore and make her own decisions. My younger daughter - Alexandra (we call her Aki). She's very outgoing and has a strong personality. She can be stubborn at times and likes to test boundaries. A true 3 year old. Applebee had a way of letting Alexandra be free spirited within boundaries that didn't feel too constricting. Aki had a hard time adjusting initially and would cry during nap time. The teachers were really caring and would hold, hug and rock Aki to sleep during nap time. Aki would come home smelling like sweet perfume and it made me feel so good to know that they really cared about her. She no longer needs to be rocked. Some quotes from my kids: - Mommy: Who are your best friends? Answer: Teacher Cecilia and Stacy. - Mommy: If you aren't good tonight then you can't go to Applebee tomorrow. Answer: WWWAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!! You can not find better loving teachers, educators, mentors and family than Joannie, Bev, Stacy and Cecilia!

My oldest had grown really attached to his previous school, so I was hoping we could find a place here that felt just as safe, consistent, and welcoming. I'm grateful my wife chose Kids Inc. From Ms. Amanda in the mornings to Ms. Parker in the afternoons, we are consistently greeted with warm smiles and a genuine sense that our boys are known and cared for. Ms. Su and Ms. Mahshid, along with their support staff, have made the transition smooth and reassuring. The biggest sign we chose the right place is how excited our boys are to see their teachers each day. They even ask me to share their updates when we arrive, which says a lot about the relationships being built there. Thank you to Kelli and Alex and the entire team for creating such a supportive environment. That care carries into our home, and we truly appreciate it.

This review is for Kids Inc Prairie City in Folsom…read more We are so grateful for the experience our son has had at Kids Inc. Prairie City! After moving our son mid-year into the 2-year-old class, the transition was seamless, thanks to the kindness, warmth, and professionalism of Amanda, Kim, and Parker. We appreciated how they made room and warmly welcomed him into the program. The team has done an excellent job communicating with us about our son's development. They get to know each child as an individual and tailor their care to meet each child's specific needs. Ms. Brittney is an incredibly patient and kind teacher. She is helping our son learn how to share and communicate with his friends and we are seeing how much his speech is improving under her care. One of the reasons we chose this preschool is the student/teacher ratio - the classes are never chaotic or out of control. Ms. Brittney is able to give each child the attention they need. One of our challenges is getting our son to eat well throughout the day. We requested daily snack and lunch updates and the staff remain consistent with inputing this information into the childcare app with great detail. This school provides snacks and lunch with their tuition. Game changer for busy working parents like us! We also notice how well-loved our son is by the entire staff. At every drop off and pick up, he always gets warm greetings or goodbyes from at least two different staff members, and they always greet him by name. It's clear that the staff truly knows and cares about each child. The facility itself is clean, modern, and well-maintained, and we always pick up our son looking fresh and clean after a day of fun and learning. The activities are thoughtfully designed to help with their coordination and overall learning, and we always feel at ease when we see our son's happy face in the photo and video updates that are sent to us throughout the day. Highly recommend!

**Welcome to "Strictly Business Daycare" - Where Parents' Frustrations Are Our Specialty!**…read more Are you tired of peace of mind and need more daily disruptions? Do you enjoy being pulled away from work for mysterious fevers that magically disappear the moment you arrive? Then look no further than Strictly Business Daycare! At Strictly Business Daycare, we pride ourselves on making sure your life is as difficult as possible. We know it's just daycare, but we believe in making you jump through every hoop we can think of - because, after all, it's "required by code." Need to use diaper cream or kid's ibuprofen? Better have that doctor's note ready! Want to switch to oat milk for your lactose-sensitive child? Get that prescription form signed and stamped, please! But don't worry, after you provide it, we'll either misplace it or start insinuating that you're sneaking vitamins and minerals into those bottles, sending them back home with a warning that you're violating "code" while we still give your child dairy. Because why bother with consistency when we can keep you constantly on edge? And for everything else, we'll make sure to turn it into a paperwork marathon, because we're all about "following the rules." Our receptionists are multitasking masters, constantly running between handling parent issues, bus transportation, and the occasional break to actually man the front desk. And if you need to speak with the director? Good luck! They're always "too busy" with important issues like focusing on making sure the office is seasonally decorated to perfection. Real concerns? Not so much. But hey, at least the place looks beautiful and smells like pumpkin spice in Fall, even if it's all fake - just like the care we claim to provide. But don't just take our word for it - experience firsthand how our subpar cleaning will keep little ones perpetually snotty. After all, what's childhood without a constant stream of colds? We're proud to say that in just four months, we can make even the most seasoned daycare parents wish they'd never walked through our doors. But don't worry, after those few long months, you'll be just as grateful as other parents who have finally escaped to a new daycare that actually cares about your child's well-being. It's night and day - literally. Where else can you almost lose your job and your sanity? Only at Strictly Business Daycare! **Strictly Business Daycare - Because Who Needs a Nurturing Environment When We Have Rules to Enforce?*
