Our daughter has attended the Purple Door D'Andrea campus for over a year and has had a wonderful…read moreexperience! The campus is lovely and perfect for young children; bright colors and loads of fun toys. The school also has a huge backyard to play in with bikes and a playground. The teachers are all kind and knowledgeable and the smaller class sizes ensure plenty of one on one attention. My kiddo has made lots of friends and learned her alphabet and how to write her name and sound out words. I appreciate that there are themes that focus on fairy tales, and pets, and the human body ,and everything else in between. Our daughter is always excited to go to school--I would highly recommend this preschool to anyone looking for a clean, loving environment to send their kiddos.

My husband and I transitioned our 5 year old son after being in a in home daycare to a more 'school…read morebased' care/preschool as he fell along the later Kindergarten kids since his birthday is in October and we were a little too late to enroll him to WCSD Pre-K programs, but also needed something more full-time rather than a 7-12pm timeframe. Purple Door Preschool D'Andrea is located next to my mom's apartment at Eastland , so my husband and I thought it help with drop off and pick ups. I have also had multiple friends mention they love Purple Door. When I first called, they said I could come by anytime during the week to do a tour. So I went with my son and met Mr. T for the first time who showed me the D'Andrea campus . I was impressed with the type of rooms they had, the different themes each month, and the 'curriculum' they offered for the kids , especially for the 4/5 year olds who are about to go into Kinder. We made the decision to officially transition our son around October time and my son was really excited. So far with my experience with this school, I had concerns at first with the transition and my son making friends as he met some of his closer friends at his old daycare . Everything was good so far, but my son did have an issue he expressed to me about another kid who supposedly not as nice to my son. I mentioned my concerns to the teachers about the other child targeting my son, however the teacher explained that the other child did have some problems with other kids also and fair enough my son can have a lot of energy too and is still working on his boundaries as a 5 year old. That was the beginning of my sons time with PurpleDoor but have not heard anymore problems with the other child after that. They also got the cubbies confused on my sons first day of school where we had an awkward situation with another parent about my sons cubby being incorrect . It was an easy resolve though, and it all worked out at the end. My son has been able to spell his name, his last name, and progress more with his cognitive learning since being at PurpleDoor and I've been happy with all the other extra curriculum they've done at the school like their winter performances and right now their soccer shots that I just enrolled my son on Tuesdays till March. This is a school where you do have to provide your own lunches for your kids but they have parties every now and then. They do also follow WCSD calendar, so anytime the schools are closed are when PurpleDoor is closed along with winter delays or fire days , but they do communicate with you over the BrightWheel app and emails regarding any closure or delays. Every month you are required to bring a Costco size snack for the kiddos as they provide the snacks and fresh fruit for them. Finally this is a tuition based school with different cost for part time and full time care along with before and after school care. As a first time parent, I do recommend to look at all your options for care especially if you have a 4/5 year old because there are Pre-K programs for WCSD as long as there is room and not tuition based and depending on your location in NNV other preschools may offer till 6pm care without paying an addition cost for after school care. But I do recommend PurpleDoor Preschool as the teachers are great, the curriculum is good, and my 5 year old son absolutely loves it.

My child attended Enchanted Castle for two days in January of 2021, for about 4 hours each day. The…read morefirst day seemed to go okay, though I was concerned when the main teacher of my child's room stopped mid sentence to yell at a different child across the room. I set it aside since it was to have the child remove something from their mouth and I figured that was better than choking. When I arrived to pickup up my child he was happy and didn't want to leave. The second day when I arrived to pickup my child he wanted to leave immediately, he was even distressed when I stopped to grab his lunch and water bottle. As soon as we arrived home he began to grab the front of his diaper and say "ouch, ouch, ouch." This is something he had never done before, he had never even said "ouch" before. When I changed his diaper I discovered that his genitals and the area immediately surrounding them were red and inflamed. Upon further inspection the skin from the body of the penis was torn away from the glans. Again, something that has never happened before with my child. I immediately documented the incident, called the facility to report the incident and that my child would not be returning. The director apologized and said they would speak with the teachers in that room. I received an email later that evening that the teachers reported that his last diaper change (20 mins before I picked him up) was wet and everything was normal. Nothing else. I picked up his items later that week and there was no acknowledgment of the incident. I asked several friends who have boys if they had ever had anything similar happen with their kids; none, not a single one had ever had this issue. They were all shocked to hear of such an incident. The only thing they could think of was either long nails or jewelry snagging the skin of his penis while changing him or being overly rough while changing him. I am not a person who wears long nails or jewelry, so this is not something I thought of. My child is very active, has run around the house naked playing and climbing, and has never ever injured his genitals doing so. Regardless, either the teachers providing care to these 2 year olds don't know what normal is or they (and/or the director) lied about any incident occurring. I'm so glad I removed my child from the facility when I did, earlier this summer I received notification that a teacher in the 2 year old room was reported to social services for mishandling a child. Do not leave your child here. The anxiety of trying to find another childcare facility to trust has been an utter nightmare since our experience here.

I have a daughter. Not a son. She finally was able to get my daughter to me. Had I been some weirdo/creep, I could've easier walked away with that little boy. As if you need even more of a reason to avoid this place... the staff here is terrible to the kids. My daughter would always cry and hated going to Pebbles. I later found out that her teacher was constantly yelling at her and the other kids in her class. She was terrified of her and GOD knows how she was treating those poor kids. I've asked my daughter repeatedly if she was ever hit or grabbed by her teacher and she denies that BUT I did see her teacher roughly pull and shake a child in her class while she yelled at the poor crying little girl. I immediately withdrew my daughter after witnessing that. I spoke to a staff member about that incident and she admitted that that teacher is constantly yelling at the kids and is really rough with them. We ended up paying for a few weeks without even taking our daughter in because we were just so uncomfortable with the whole situation. Please do NOT send your kids here!!

" we thought she was sleeping" Then her teacher Christine said " we rubbed her back and thought she fell asleep, then proceeded to say she was playing with blocks. I said okay was she sleeping or playing with blocks, again who is watching her? No one? You should be mad at yourself that you allow yourself not to pay attention to these kids. I will not pay for it. Lorrie comes storming over to me, gets in my face, and said " you need to pack your daughter and her things, you need to get out of my school, today is your last day, I said okay. I gathered her things. Her teacher Christine, said I'm sorry I don't know why she has an attitude and it always like that. I emailed her, I asked for the video footage, and Addys files. Her response was highly inappropriate. (Her response in the picture. ) I get into the car, addy told me (" mom Lorrie scared me, she said " you need to grab your things and get out of your class room when your mom comes to get you) and that Lorrie poked her in the chest. Lorrie and her daycare has no sanitation, they attack children verbally and physically, unorganized, Lorrie's office upstairs smells like urine because her dog sits up there you walk on paperwork. She doesn't have her finances in order, she will harass you every day about your schedule. If I could write more I would. I have a lot more situations, and dates I reported.

Very unprofessional owner. Does not speak well to parents about incidents or how well a child does…read more My child who is 4, of course not every kid is an angel; understands boundaries very well. If you do not place an expectation or boundaries; how is she suppose to listen? I was talked down too multiple time by to "owner". If she really is the owner I believe she needs to reevaluate herself and learn professionalism. Incidents happened every week, I heard about them from my child but never once did I hear about it from a teacher. One teacher told my child she was very bad for speaking. No rhyme or reason. She could have rephrased, "hey the other kiddos are trying to rest. It is quiet time."; would have been better. Another or same teacher (unsure) told my child none of the kids wanted to be her friend. That's very harsh to say to a 4 year old! Kids were always out side from moment of drop off till pick up; even on the worst weather days. Live problems happened 2x in one month. Now that's typical for a school. When she sent a secondary email. I simply asked if they were cleaning the carpets too. And she responded " ???? Of course. Why do you ask?" I said out of curiosity. But truthfully out of common sense. Lorrie, ask why I didn't make a conference plan with her to speak about said concerns. I honestly did not feel comfortable enough to do so, considering the last few very uncomfortable and unprofessional interactions I've had with her. Also I've heard she got into parents faces before and yelled; plain old irrational. Now I know the "owner" may see this and leave a response trying to defend her "precious" business. But, don't let her fool you. The place deserves to be shut down. Child neglect, verbal abuse, maybe even physical abuse (who really knows).

Our kids were beyond prepared for kindergarten in every sense. - made tons of friends, including from younger and older classes because there's some cross-over play time. It's small enough that every teacher knew our kids well. - loved the facility - the rooms have a super happy energy and the backyard is shady and full of activities - had the option to participate in a wide range of extra activities that the school coordinates to take place onsite - Spanish, soccer, swimming, gymnastics, dance Both of my daughters attended from age 3 onward and I only wish we'd started there sooner because the difference in their happiness between their first preschool and Creative World was so stark. We're so grateful to everyone there who played such a pivotal role in our children's lives (and ours in taking such good care of them!).
