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.

Left him outside crying and screaming. He was red in the face and alone in the heat. Strangers noticed the boy and got into the gate to grab the boy and knock on the window, the workers did not open that door instead told them to go around. They were no concerned nor explained why he was left alone. Please, for God's sake do not take your children here! Most likely they are being mistreated and neglected. I know times get hard and you need someone to watch your children to work, but please find another place or a church ministry or someone that loves your child. This is unacceptable as they police will be called on them!
