This has been by far the BEST daycare ever!! I call it "a hidden gem." Firstly, the owner, Ms…read more Alicia Jones is amazing!! She is the sweetest, most humble and kindest spirit you'll ever come across. Her staff is wonderful as well and have all been so welcoming. My son is almost 2 years old & has been to about 2 other daycares in the past and he's never done as well as he has been doing here at this daycare. In the past, at previous daycares, he would literally cry every day as I was dropping him off. But NOPE, not here! He is literally excited every morning and so eager to enter Kidds Palace's doors & be greeted by the most pleasant staff, especially Ms. Alicia. My son adores her! Most mornings he even runs off without a goodbye kiss from mommy lol, but I love how much he loves this place! I'm actually shocked by the lack of reviews this place has! But as a parent of KPLA, I highly recommend this place & I promise you will NOT be disappointed.

He loves all the activities and interaction with his 'friends.' And his teachers are kind and do a great job. I also have my school aged children enrolled in the camp this summer. They love it, and I am happy for them because they're having so much fun! 4 field trips in 1 week last week! They are enjoying COA camp much more than they did a suburban park district summer camp in previous years. I'm really surprised about the negative reviews because I have had such a good experience, and that's why I'm sharing so much about them.

Victoria I did receive an email from COA regarding a balance of 1,200. Where is this amount coming…read morefrom due to the fact that I was current on all tuition payments? Also. I am in contact with the state and taking further action for the school filing a false claim on myself. The matter was not handled efficiently nor investigated just as the previous incident with my child and the teacher hitting her a month ago. These are very serious concerns and service failures on your company's behalf and instead of effectively investigating the matter you guys decided to cover up the matter and file false allegations against myself. Please note that this does not end here. I will be taking all necessary measures to assure that how my child was mishandled by your organization is brought to surface so that this doesn't continue to happen to other families. Have a great day!

But what I love is walking the trails and wondering around or taking a book and sitting and reading. Different views each season. It's a peaceful respite in the middle of the chaos of life. And the Christmas lights walk is so fun. It's only a couple of dollars and you can buy hot chocolate and s'mores kits to roast on the fire pit. During the spring they sell native plants - always the healthiest and good selection. The staff and volunteers are kind and welcoming. It's just a great little gem.

I look forward to my daughter attending other curriculums at this center and I have definitely recommended this center to my friends who also have kids as well. I definitely say yes to putting your kids here.

In one word...MAGICAL…read more I took my summer camp kids here with "high" hopes of a nature adventure, and it was nothing short of my most elaborate dreams. We arrived to a big house in the middle of the "forest" aka country... and instead of being cooked and eaten by the evil witch, my little Hansels & Gretels had the time of their lives! We were greeted with an assortment of basketballs (& hoop), soccer balls, wiffle balls, tennis balls, badminton supplies, frisbees, even somethin along the lines of croquet supplies! Of course within minutes they had expelled the majority of them into the surrounding bushes and trees, but the wonderful owners just laughed and said not to worry about retrieving them! Then, half the kids went on a nature walk with one of our instructors to a small lake, where they saw a deer! This delighted my little city slickers already. Meanwhile, half the kids got to climb "Goliath" the enormous tree in their yard - the real reason why we came. They were safely harnassed up, and while not many of them made it all the way to the top, they were delighted just the same, and wanted to go again and again! While they weren't climbing, hiking, or using the latrine/outhouse/port a potty (ohh.. what an experience! they sure overcame that fear! many of them for the first time) they were happily passing the time scooping up frogs from a pond (and trying to sneak them back on the bus), picking apples and then feeding them to the three horses that were on the property! They never tired of it. And then for lunch time, we were allowed to grill, and made them some bananas w/ chocolate & marshmallows and corn on the cob. They did not want to leave. It was such a special experience for them, as they don't get the opportunity to be in glorified nature like that. And, I got to climb up with my co-workers. AND YES!!! WE made it to the top! Where we got to see the looks of awe and disbelief on the kiddies faces. It could not be beat. The people who ran this for us were sooo generous in every way. I couldn't and wouldn't change a thing.
