My 3-year-old attended this daycare for almost 3 months and in this time his behavior took a turn…read morefor the worst. First, we were excited about the engagement we had hoped my son would have, he came home with worksheets to practice writing and tracing, we loved that but unfortunately the screen time allowed in this facility is excessive and was creating issues with his sleep habits and ultimately his behavior at home was becoming challenging we believe to be due to the excessive screen time. During the tour we were told the screen in the room was for educational videos and for music to be played for the children to dance to and sing along with. The daily report provided that my son was watching Jack Hartman for teaching American sign language, but the exposure to screen time far exceeded this. My son was coming home stating he had watched cartoons like Cocomelon, chu chu tv, etc. During Halloween my son started to fear jack o lanterns from something they showed the kids, he was even shown the Michael Jackson thriller video which the teacher claims was an "accident" ... after talking to the teacher to figure out what had happened, it became clear that they are just letting YouTube play the next videos without supervising what is being shown. We met with the Asst Director Ms Ashley and the Owner, Dr. Koshi (spelling?) and unfortunately our concerns fell on deaf ears. I wanted to know what the process was for picking these videos that are not educational and why parents aren't being told what their kids are watching and why their daily report is providing false information on what my child is being exposed to. We even reported that on several occasions when picking up our son as the teachers were bringing the kids in from outside that the teachers were asking the kids what they wanted to watch, and kids were asking for spiderman and frozen etc. On several occasions the screen was moved to a corner so that the parents couldn't see what was being shown. During thanksgiving they showed the movie the Wild robot without letting parents know this was going to be shown, the film is rated PG. They also showed them how the Grinch stole Christmas the Jim Carrey film which is also PG. I was never consulted or made aware about what my son would be watching or had watched. The use of the screens and the way the administration handled our concerns is very shady, for the price you pay for childcare and with their claims to be an educational facility to prepare children for school I do not trust that they are a good option for families that care about the quality of care and learning.

We have pulled our son out of this daycare because of a safety issue concerning management. To…read morepreface, the teachers were wonderful. Mrs Nino and Mrs Sam, y'all are incredible. But the management was negligent to the point that we no longer felt comfortable leaving our son there for even one more day. We have pulled our son from this program after learning that our son (13 months old) was fed popcorn as a snack. POPCORN! (For those unaware, just google top choking hazards for toddlers) And when I asked the manager, who sets the menus and buys the food, he told me he was not even aware this was a choking hazard. He was so incredibly dismissive and rude about this legitimate safety concern.

We've had no issues with the staff. My children love the Chef there, Mr. E - he always acknowledges them and makes a point to say hello, which is very appreciated. The only concern we ever had was my son being bitten several times; however, the assistant director, Ms. Ivy, was always great about communicating with me, keeping me informed, and letting me know what steps were being taken moving forward.

The place itself was very cute and it seemed very fun for children. They had a pretty cool facility with a nice playground area and the classrooms looked fun and clean. The programs they had seemed really good and it was surprising to me that they even had daycare for infants. The pricing also seemed fair which they had several options. The only thing that was displeasing was some of the staffs appearances was off. I understand not everyone can dress the part but there was staff that looked like they just rolled out of bed, one guy in a classroom who was the obvious teacher/staff was sitting there rolling and twiddling his hair with the children just looking for his attention. I also noticed a lady who instructed the dance portion of the day had grabbed a little girl by her arm and displayed somewhat of aggression and frustration. Look I get it it's hard watching kids and many at that but it just didn't sit right with me. I don't doubt this place is great I was just turned off and couldn't see myself being secure in dropping my 1 year old here.

They had a change of a director recently who let me just say is an absolute gem of a human being. She genuinely loves the children and the well-being of the children in school. My older daughter's teacher was fantastic from the get-go and within a few weeks , my speech delayed and extremely shy daughter started talking and thriving! She now won't be quite whereas for the first several weeks, she would not utter a single word. My younger daughter was in the pre primary class and it was an incredible blessing to have a change of staff. The old staff would leave my baby girl at the front door to cry for hours on end and right when I wanted to pull her out, I was informed that her after care teacher would be taking over. Let me just say, that this was the best thing that happened to us. My baby girl who absolutely despised going to school, suddenly began asking me to take her to school so she can see her "teacher". Ms. Vanessa genuinely bonded with their kids and created an experience of true joy for the kids and I am forever grateful for this transformation my daughter underwent! The after care staff has also been amazing as well! Ms. Grace, Ms. Alexis are champs for being so patient with the kiddos and engaging in creative activities. My kids are thriving and it's all because of the environment the new director, Ms. Erika created. Her number one concern is the well being of the kiddos and she is incredibly hands on! She has an incredible relationship with them and is actually one of the people my kids can't stop talking about! As long as she and her staff stay on board, I highly recommend this particular location!

I can say Admin and teachers truly want your baby to be happy here and are willing to not only listen to your concerns and feedback but take action to correct things on their end. And yes, I'm a helicopter mom and it's very obvious and they don't judge (at least not to my face lol)

The Director of operations "Ms Paulina " seems to have hit her head, because in every single interaction she will intentionally ploy tactics for her own agenda rather than actually considering the parent and their child. As a parent, I would never send my child to a place where they run themselves like a business only seeking money. Ms. Paulina will try to control every conversation, talking over you and you as a paying parent will never be right unless you seek out HR. Even that was hard to do with her as she was trying to protect herself. I had to reach out to their sister schools to reach any progress in refund as I was removing my daughter from this establishment. My child came home several times talking about a boy who would hit her and other classmates. As I spoke with other parents they were also aware of this problematic child and staff would just shrug it off instead of removing the problematic child from the establishment.

This establishment purposefully removes bad GOOGLE reviews and disabled the ability to leave a review. That's should speak volumes to how poorly they function.
