Once we were asked in, no one asked our names or introduced themselves. the enrollment coordinator walked us through the center, no clear answers to questions about curriculum, teacher retention or did she ask us any questions about what we were looking for etc. the one thing she did say off the bat is that while they do accept DSHS they do not accept children from CPS. Seems a little like discrimination to me... children need a place that they can feel safe in. not sure i would enroll based on the fact that the person giving the tour did not take the time to get some information about us or trey to build that connection with us. Must not want that enrollment that bad.

Pros: -self-selected auto-pay schedule -classroom cameras -parent messaging app with picture/video capabilities -cute artwork/crafts -Ms. Vivian (floater) is AMAZING! My son loved her! -Ms. Alaina was great (she has left) -polite and friendly staff Cons: -lack of active supervision= safety concerns. We walked in on another child, ~2 months older, crawling on my then immobile son, who was trapped in a boppy while teachers reorganized cubbies on the other side of the room. On his last day, a child walked up and took all the toys (~5) he was playing with. Then another child (same child as first incident) crawled on top of him, sat on his waist/upper thighs and repeatedly hit his belly ~6 times. An adult was sitting less than 5 feet away and did not intervene, presumably because she did not see it. The child crawled away independently, and I picked my son up early. He did not have any marks on him, or I would have brought it to administration's attention. -communication: I made the mistake of thinking a parent app with opportunities to input meals/diaper changes, message and share pictures/video meant that we would have positive, strong communication. Responses are usually delayed, if received at all, parent requests are not necessarily honored, etc. As a former teacher, I tried to be up front about things going on at home (ie job changes, returning to work, sleep changes/training, etc.), but was met with judgement and push back which I found disappointing and off-putting. I'm paying for daycare, not parenting advice. Daily reports had some inaccuries as to number of feedings (i.e., report says ate 4 times but only sent 5 bottles and 2 sent back unused) and type of milk given (i.e., said my exclusively breastfed baby was given formula then after switching to formula said given breastmilk); however, staff assured me these were reporting errors only and he received only the bottles we sent. -school-like, rigid environment: no drop offs after 10 AM, progress reports though no staff training/education, etc. My baby isn't developmentally ready for school; he's 7 months old. If he needs to take his first nap at home and come in late, he should be able to. Also, I work from home, if I have meetings and cannot drop off until later in the morning, I shouldn't have to ask for permission to bring him late. I pay for the day, whether he comes in or not, so I should be able to bring him in when it's best for us. -This is a business and it feels like it. They nickel and dime you everywhere, you have to provide your own gloves for diaper changes for goodness sakes! -Staff are asked to do too much. My son started daycare at 10 weeks old. We don't have family in the area, so daycare was the first time our son was consistently separated from us, and it obviously caused him some distress. We would pick him up, his eyes/face would be red, puffy, and splotchy. He refused to sleep much and started losing weight from not eating enough. Nearly every time we logged onto the cameras, he was alone in a dark corner on the opposite side of the room from the adults or other children. I thought it would get better, but it went on for ~2 months. Eventually, he started throwing major fits any time we put him in his carseat, and he's usually a very happy baby. This month, a new baby started in his class. Almost every time, except 1-2 times, I walked in, this baby's screaming. He's ~3-4 months, and almost never was he held or picked up unless I commented on how sad he was or talked to him. One time, I stopped to pick up something my husband forgot, and the teacher couldn't hear me knocking in the door over the baby crying, so I walked in. The baby was in the bouncer, next to the counter (he was out of the camera's view), while the teacher did something on the counter with her back to the baby. Upon hearing the door's bell and seeing me, the teacher whipped around and started talking to the baby and bouncing the bouncer. I now know that they left my son to cry alone for God knows how long but would pick him up before we got there which is why his face was always swollen n puffy but he wasn't actually crying. In some ways, I'm unbelievably angry with the staff for treating babies this way. On the other hand, I know they are short-staffed and asked to do way too much. I would have preferred not to receive a "progress report" or fewer cutesy crafts and had my son's emotional needs met. We are now at an in-home daycare where my son is very well cared for. He sleeps 2 hours consecutively (the longest he ever slept at Kids n Us was 40 minutes), he eats all his purees/solids and drinks 12-20 oz (was picking at purees, drank less than 10 oz consistently at Kids n Us). I've heard great things about Kids n Us and really wanted to have a positive experience. Unfortunately, our experience was being charged a premium price for mediocre care.

He made so many great friends, and it was clear that the staff worked hard to create a warm, welcoming environment for every child. As working parents, we really appreciated how supportive and understanding the team was. Communication was always thoughtful, and they went out of their way to be accommodating. We always felt confident that our son was in good hands. We were genuinely sad to leave, and we would still be there if we hadn't moved out of state. We're incredibly grateful for the wonderful experience our son had here and highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a caring and nurturing place for their child.

The teachers are very attentive and caring. Our son is always happy during drop off and pickup; he is also himself everyday when he comes home (not overly tired/grumpy). They do a great job recording activities in the app to keep us parents updated throughout the day. Even outside of the infant room, during drop off/pickup all of the children seem to be very happy, which reflects very positively on their experiences at Kiddy Korner. Highly recommend if you are looking for childcare! It has been a great experience so far (and we were very nervous to start).

Unfortunately all other daycares had a 1yr+ wait lists so we had no choice but to jump on the open spot here and paid to reserve the available spot. Later, we decided to visit the infant daycare room and meet the teachers before our baby started. Thank goodness we did. Every single child in the room was sick with very runny noses and coughs. When we asked what the limitations were for sick children the teachers said that they only turn children away if they have fever, are vomiting or have diarrhea. They flat out told us that we would just have to understand that there were always sick kids in the class and that our child would be getting sick. At one point, one of the more sick children spit up a good amount on the rug where all the kids were playing. The teacher barely wiped it up with a paper towel and spray allowing the other kids to play right where it was. They never wiped the spit up off the child's mouth. He put a rattle in his mouth getting spit up all over it when another child grabbed it and put it in their mouth. There was no real attempt at sanitation to avoid the spread of germs. Also the children were pretty fussy and the teachers did not seem at all confident or comfortable handling it. They seemed very overwhelmed and even frustrated. This was with only 6 children and they take up to 8 in that room. After that visit, there was no way we could imagine

When I first toured Primrose, one of the things that attracted me to it was how clean and well-kept…read morethe facility is. We've been with Primrose since my son was 9 months old and he is now almost 14 months old, so we've been in two classrooms so far. We really like his teachers! They had my son doing sign language at 10 months old as it is part of their curriculum. The infant room teachers were so lovable and it is evident that they truly cared about each and every baby. My favorite is how they speak with the babies so lovingly and patiently - exactly how I wanted my little one addressed. Now that he is in the 12-18 month old classroom, he is eating very well, getting a lot of outside time, and they send lots of pictures to show what our son is up to - which is everything from crafts, learning about animals and their sounds, learning about foods, playing musical instruments, reading books, learning to recognize each other's names, reciting the pledge of allegiance every morning, etc. They also work on both fine and gross motor skills. The food variety is also healthy and always sounds delicious. I feel like he gets better food at school than he does at home! I get jealous of what he eats when I get his daily reports! We do encounter hiccups here and there, but mostly minor and not enough to change our feelings about Primrose. It's a really good school and we love it here!

I sincerely regret trusting them with my child's care and beg you to avoid this place like the plague. My child did also report that one teacher hit him on the head which I believe did happen. Each time I reported any concern, I was ultimately given reassurance but nothing was every done except move my child to the next class which of course had its own set of new problems... when I ultimately took my child out because of safety concerns after he said he was hit by his teacher, and lost thousands of dollars because I didn't feel comfortable sending him there... the main supervisor (can't remember her name) didn't even bother calling me back when I reported what my son said about being hit by a teacher.
