When I went to go use the restroom before I left it was filthy. The entrance had crumbs everywhere, it looked like it hasn't been mopped in a while. Upon doing research I learned that KinderCare day cares don't have housekeepers and it shows. This company needs to spend more of their money on cleanliness! Would not recommend, it's a virus outbreak waiting to happen.

Our baby had been so happy since starting there and they took care of us right away knowing what we experienced elsewhere! I have such better peace of mind each day when I drop my baby off. She gets so excited to go every day and we receive constant updates on what she's doing! The teachers know each babies schedule by heart and them and the Director care so much!!

We don't currently have a child attending LTA, but can speak to the tour and initial communication…read moreof the staff. My husband and I will be first time parents, and so we came to the scheduled tour with lots of questions and curiosities. Prior to even going on the tour, the center owner, Michelle, responded to my online form and scheduled me for a time of my choice that week. When we arrived, the Head of School, Michael, greeted us at the front desk and took us to sit down and understand our priorities first. He then spent the next 1.5 hours answering all of our questions, sharing information helpful to new parents seeking childcare, and showing us the facilities. I have to assume most tours are not this long, but he gave us all the time we needed. As we toured the center, we could easily tell all of the families were well acquainted with the staff (it was pick-up time), and the teachers engaged with us as we visited their rooms. I even overheard a teacher enthusiastically telling a parent during pickup that she had pictures to share tomorrow regarding a milestone for the child. While there, we also met the other owner, Todd, and he shared he and his wife's passion for the center and why they keep their prices affordable for their community. We had toured another well-known and elite childcare center earlier in the day and were blown away by LTA, truly. We signed up for their waitlist on the spot and are excited about the prospect of our first child attending the school.

Lawton-Taylor truly has our son's best interests at heart. He has been going to LTA since he was 8…read moreweeks old and we cannot say enough about the caring owners, administration and teachers! Everyone is hands-on, has an open door policy and truly care about the health, education and overall well-being of the students. My son loves to go into school every day, has a blast with his friends - you can enroll them in extra programs at a nominal fee. Their facilities and playgrounds are awesome, too. Their cook is amazing who provides a healthy variety of food options (breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack). Any concerns that we had had were taken seriously, addressed immediately with action taken. LTA really fosters an environment that creates comfort and trust - I am confident when we drop him off that he's having a great day and sincerely engage with the school as our "second family". Other things we love: holiday program, parent's night out (first Friday of every month you can pay for babysitting until 10pm) mother's day tea, father's day breakfast, sno-cone social day, Halloween parade, fundraisers, summer picnic, the list goes on - but most importantly walking in every day to smiles of those who know and have a sincere relationship with my child just warms my heart, not just the teachers but the front staff as well. Thank you to Lawton-Taylor for such a wonderful experience

After being in the LPL system for ~2 years, we were forced to find other child care due to high…read morestaff turnover and vacancies that began to result in random class/school closures. That would have just been a headache to deal with, but we have also been owed a significant amount of money due to account balance in our favor since leaving in May 2022 (time of posting - 10/2022). We have talked to every level of the corporate structure multiple times with promises every time that it will be reimbursed within 24 hours. Clearly those have been empty promises. This also happened to a more limited extent when we were still enrolled, where it would take multiple efforts to be reimbursed for "vacation" days or pandemic related closures. If you are currently enrolled here, make sure any account balance in your favor has been fully reimbursed prior to leaving while you still have some small measure of leverage.

I have been taking my kids to LPL Roxborough for about two years. The staff is friendly and the…read morekids love going there. Before switching to LPL, my kids came home every day saying they had a "bad day", now they always have a "good day". My pre-k kiddo comes home weekly with a report of what she learned that week, how she did and what she will be learning the following week. The director is very responsive and flexible. They opened up options for school age kids when public schools were shut down due to COVID by staffing a teacher to help the kids get through their remote learning. Since I work full time, this was a life saver. Pre COVID- they planned events like parents night out, sleep overs on NYE, options for weekend care so parents could go Christmas shopping, camp outs, mother's, father's and grandparent's day and other fun additions for families and kids.

During our time at Willows - Homestead Learning Center, we witnessed some of the worst examples of…read moreproper childcare in our 3 months of enrollment, as highlighted below: Safety concerns: - Teachers and Director do not properly handle targeted bullying nor even acknowledge major injuries when they occur. Our child was bitten several times, and the bite marks went unnoticed/unreported. - Our son has come home several times with injuries to his head with no explanation from the teachers as to what happened. An example of this is that he hit his head TWICE on the same day and I never received an incident report noting either injury. Lack of oversight over dietary restrictions/food allergies - We observe a vegetarian diet, and our son was served meat products TWICE. Both times were attributed to "miscommunications". Even bringing our own lunch and snacks didn't mitigate the issue. - If our son was served a product that he shouldn't have been TWICE within two months' time, I believe that other children have been served food items that they should not have. Lack of preparation/planning for the day/week: - On our first day, we entered the room to discover that his name was nowhere to be found. When we asked about getting his name displayed around the room to the [former] lead teacher, she stated that she "would do it when she had time". It was only after we brought up our concerns to the Regional Director, Chloe, and Director, DeAnne, that our son's name was included in the room. - Our first month (April), the weekly agenda/theme posted outside the room went unchanged for one month. How does the Director, who works in the same building, not have any idea what each classroom is doing on a weekly basis? Shows a lack of oversight. - The daily agenda posted in the classroom doesn't reflect what the children are doing. To this day, it hasn't been updated in over a month. In the 3 months he has been there, I do not believe that he has learned anything educational. Little to no communication on daily activities: - Willows uses "ProCare" for updates, and we received roughly the following updates: 70% = no daily updates 13% = bulk pictures of all kids 15% = specific photos of your child 2% = specific information for your child's activities - We once went for 3 weeks without any app updates. Lack of Concern and Connection from the Teachers: - If Ms. Bella wasn't in the Yellow classroom and another teacher was covering, our son would be so afraid of them that he wouldn't even express his basic needs to them (i.e. have an accident before he told them that he needed to use the potty). - The covering teachers would never notice his accidents and often he would be in wet clothes when we picked him up and would change him ourselves. - If the Yellow Room teachers were already gone for the day and the kids were playing outside, there was literally no one to ask about how your child's day went. With no app updates and no teachers to communicate with, parents quite literally have no idea what occurred during your child's day. We met with the RD and Director several times to address our concerns about the Yellow Room, but even to our last day, we cannot say that anything ever improved. Over our last few weeks, we saw glimmers of hope and improvement but cannot say that it wouldn't revert to the poorly organized, barely functioning room that it has been in since our arrival.

Our son started when he was 3 years old and the team there has been loving, communicative and flexible. There is a good balance of academics and fun and he has really thrived in their program. Our daughter joined when she was 4 and is now in first grade and she was well equipped for kindergarten, both academically and socially. Mrs. Ferguson, Ms. Roberts and Mr. Powell are amazing with the children. Their summer program has helped both of our children become excellent swimmers. Their instructors are the absolute best. And you can't beat their hours and closure dates. We have loved our experience at Willows.

Our 4- and 2-year-old have been enrolled here for several years and have had a wonderful experience. All the teachers across the classrooms we've interacted with are incredibly caring, dedicated to the kids, and support making each day an enriching and fun experience. Our kids are excited to go to school and have made lasting friendships with the other kids and their teachers within each classroom, and we're very impressed by what they are learning and experiencing. The Director of the Center, Patricia, is phenomenal. Her passion and dedication to the Center, Staff & Children is above and beyond what we've experienced at other Schools, and regardless of the number of priorities she balances is always makes time to connect with parents and students alike. We've also appreciated how communicative Patricia, and the teachers have been across classrooms.

I've had a fantastic experience, I have both an infant daughter and a toddler son who go there and…read morecan only say positive things. They're really organized and have very secure processes for checking kids in and out, they secure the entrance and exit, they are very strict about dietary needs (e.g., they don't allow any peanuts/peanut butter to be packed for any kids regardless of allergies on the off chance that a child with an allergy would take another child's food) and they have really thorough daily reporting. My daughter has a big smile every time she sees her care provider, and my toddler son loves his teachers. He always talks about the activities they do, gets excited about snacks, specific toys and friends. The care providers are thoughtful and strike a great balance between being gentle and patient while establishing boundaries for my son, who can sometimes throw tantrums. This isn't the perfect gauge of attention, but my kids never have a diaper rash, which tells me they're attentive and that they never sit in a dirty diaper for long. Also, they're tuned into my kids and have called me when their behavior/demeanor has been off or when they're sick and need to be picked up. I'd recommend this place and I go there now because we have a close friend whose son goes there and who recommended it to us.

Thank you, Mrs. Martin, Mrs. Shawna, Miss Carrie, and Mrs. Jessica, for everything you've done for our family. We are so grateful!
