Avoid Midlothian Kids Academy at all costs…read more This daycare has extremely high staff turnover and poor supervision of the children. When my son moved to the two-year-old classroom, we were told they would help with potty training -- but within a week they began complaining about accidents and even suggested we bring in Pampers. It was clear they just didn't want to do their job. I refused, and ironically, my son's potty training improved right after that. The food they serve is subpar -- my son comes home hungry every day. Classrooms are often combined because they're short-staffed, creating chaos and disorganization. When incidents happen, they rarely communicate unless you call to ask what happened. One of the most concerning experiences was when my son came home with his face visibly swollen from crying. We were told he had a hard time going to sleep at nap time -- but we picked him up at 5 p.m., which means he was left crying unattended for an extended period of time. That's completely unacceptable and heartbreaking for any parent to hear. Worst of all, the director is dismissive and gaslights parents instead of being transparent or taking accountability. If you care about your child's safety, nutrition, and emotional well-being, run far away from this place.

This small, intimate place feels like you walked back in time to the 80s-90s with a TV on a rolling cart, which only comes out if the kids can't spend all day outside (which I love). They have all types of older games that encourage creativity and are not the norm toys they see at home. It does not have all the bells and whistles of a new building, but it feels like a home or grandma's house. My Son is 10 years old and stopped going because of Covid. He often asks to stop by with donuts or a card to say hello to all of his old teachers, and he cares deeply for the owner, Mrs. Day!

We loved Woodlake Child Development Center! Our child was in the infant classroom and they felt…read morelike family. They were so attentive to each baby and you could tell they truly cared. As first time parents it meant the world to us that we knew our baby was safe and well cared for. All of the staff (not only the infant teachers) were kind and wonderful! The facility is clean, safe, and educational. They have an app that keeps you up to date on your child's activity throughout the day. They send out announcements through the app and you can also pay for tuition through it. Although we aren't at this daycare anymore due to moving we still pop in to visit. We truly miss them! I highly recommend this daycare.

For a pricey preschool this place is severely lacking. We are linked with one of the best teachers…read morewe have ever known. Sadly we catch glimpses of this incredible young lady almost daily falling prey (& thus the stdnts too) to the most toxic mgmt practices we've ever witnessed. If not for this teacher we would absolutely have nothing to do with Primrose Waterford. Teachers are constantly being pulled and moved and the children don't even want to come to school because they never know who will be their teacher. The teacher we deal with we know has been there at least a couple years, and is head and shoulders above every other one we've met or seen and yet seems to always be the one pushed, pulled, and shuffled to the desperate detriment of the kids, but the constant practice has no response from admin. The Primrose newsletter recently said that this most special teacher of all will not be a camp teacher this summer. When the school was asked why, they simply said they didn't know who would be the teachers and that they would pull the information from the newsletter because it must have been confusing. Nope. Nothing confusing about it. As we have come to learn with this place this is standard practice for admin that is regularly not forthcoming with at least some of us parents. We can't speak for anyone else but we know that we find admin and ownership to be highly non-responsive to our concerns. More sadly still, when some parents informed the teacher of the info in the newsletter, she knew nothing about it. Seems admin doesn't even bother telling their teachers where they will be serving--or not serving. We're exhausted by the lack of administrative professionalism at this place, and undoubtedly if we're exhausted by it the teachers must be also--especially the few whose obvious passion is to love and teach the children rather than to engage in damaging inner office politics. Operational integrity is everything to us and administratively we have come to realize that the surface gloss we often see in the administrative scripts, holds no resemblance to the operational practices of the school. Any owner, directors, managers who believe they can regularly treat their employees with such open condescension, disdain, and lack of professionalism, and clearly do so even in front of students and parents and other employees, are severely lacking themselves. Such people should be cautioned not to succumb to their own arrogance that such an embattled atmosphere can do anything other than have an equally negative effect on the children (which is starting to be seen). Miss Wonderful-Teacher is a giant of a person and with out her we KNOW this place would be a dark pit for MANY children--and should this teacher ever leave, then our involvement with this school will end, too. We should have known how dysfunctional this place was when we learned parents were required to agreeing that parents are forbidden from having any contact with the children's teachers outside of school hours, and the teachers' jobs can be forfeited by having contact with parents outside of school. DO NOT BRING YOUR KIDS TO THIS SCHOOL.

If I could give La Petite less than 1 star, I definitely would. I rarely leave reviews but I think…read moreother parents need to be aware. I preregistered my daughter who was 7 months at the time with the understanding she would start in the beginning of November since she would only be part time. The director at the time even gave us the Back to School special on registration since we had to wait. At the time, everything was beyond my expectations and couldn't wait for her to start. That was also the end of my pleasant experience. In late September early October, I noticed I had not yet received her enrollment packet to be filled out and noticed I had been charged her tuition fees. I immediately reached out and the tuition was corrected but none of my other questions were addressed. A few weeks later I found out that the director and many teachers had left. I reached out once I found and and explained everything about her registration and being charged again and was asked if I could push her start date another 2 weeks. I understood they were still hiring and agreed. I was told them my account would again be fixed and would receive a call to confirm. Again, closer to her start date, I hadn't heard anything from La Petite. I reached out again and was told my account would be fixed and asked if I could push her start date again to the end of the month and that I would get a call back to confirm.... Again nothing. I stopped by the school to drop off all her paperwork and spoke with the new directory Tina. I was told once again that my account would be fixed and that I would get a call on Friday (11/19) to confirm my account was fixed and that she would be good to start on11/30. Needles to say there was no follow up until I called on 11/29. When I called, I was told by Tina again that she would follow up with me after 10am once she got everyone settled. I did not hear from anyone until I called at 3:40pm. I actually reached their VM system and was leaving a message when I heard someone pick up and the immediately hang up the phone. I called back and explained to Tina once again what just happened to which the reply was "oh I don't know what happened. How can I help you?" There was no apology or anything... just sarcasm. I told her that I didn't not hear from her, my account still had not been fixed from being charged for my daughter who hasn't started, and that I wanted to unenroll her at this point because she has been lost in the mix. Again, I was told they were really busy and will fix my account before closing to let me know it's been fixed and to make sure I could see it on my side. Tina also said that she was trying to locate my daughter's file because she didn't know what happened to it. That has my daughters information, medical information, and copy of her birth certificate ... and they can't find it?!? I asked that it be found and I be given a call back before close to make sure everything has been taken care of and she has been unenrolled. La Petite closes at 6pm and here it is the next day (11/30) and I have NOT heard from anyone. The faculty has the absolute worst communication and while I know there are staffing issues... the lack of communication and sincerity is appalling. They were clearly unapologetic about anything. The overall impression is that they kids are just numbers and money and there is a lack of care that a daycare should have when taking care of children.
