It's been almost 3 months since I've moved my son to Precious People from another daycare and this…read morehas been one of my best decisions as a parent, yet. The building doesn't look like much and it's a little confusing to navigate inside, however the quality of care, teachers and staff make Precious People one of the best day cares in the area. I'm very surprised that the price is so economical considering the prices of some others in the area. My son started in the "Little T's" (toddlers not potty training) and I quickly realized why changing him to Precious People was a good decision. Not only was he coming home from daycare with proof of activity (crafts, drawings, updates from teachers), but he was actually tired. You could tell that he wasn't just plopped down in a room to his own device. He quickly picked up new words and phrases. He's recently been moved up a room and because of a bad experience with a previous daycare and the move he made, I was nervous. But it was seamless and I had worried needlessly, the teachers are very friendly, warm and welcoming. I don't plan on moving my son out of Precious People until it's time for school, I've been more than pleased and this is coming from someone who is relatively difficult to please when it comes to their kid. Care = Great! Price = Great! Location = Good (watch out for school bus traffic during school times)

At first we loved KRK - it was welcoming, clean, had cameras, & the teachers were great with communication. After about a year things started to go downhill. They were holding us to policies that didn't exist & having us come get our son for nonsense issues because they were understaffed. Around that time, 5 teachers plus the kitchen staff had all left & not been replaced, yet they were telling me that there was no issue with ratios due to that...ok. Reasons they sent my son home: wouldn't come off the playground, was laying half on/half off his mat, wouldn't nap, got dirty outside, got a bug bite, had a pimple on his cheek (they called those last two rashes). I ended up losing my job over my child not napping. They were calling me 1-3 times every week to come get him, while still requiring me to pay fulltime. They said he was being disruptive during nap time & that was part of the reason, even though I saw other children on the camera running around & ripping my son's blanket off of him - they were allowed to stay. When I asked why that was, I was told they aren't allowed to discuss other peoples children. A coworker of mine had her kids at the other location of KRK (now nest) and a teacher was fired there for being abusive toward the kids. The teacher was now at my location. When I asked the director about this teacher, I was met with "who told you that?". She said it wasn't true... Turns out it was true but I can't say how I know that. My son was kicked out for biting a kid that punched him in the face. My son turned 3 & was in a room with 2 year olds. Even though all the kids are in the same room, the 3 year olds have different rules. If a 2 year old bites a 3 year old and the 3 year old bites back... The 3 year old will be kicked out, but the 2 year old can stay. I was sent a whole handbook I had never seen or signed off on with the biting rule all the sudden mentioned in there - when I asked other parents if they had seen this version of the handbook, they had not. I was the only one the fake handbook was sent to and I'm positive I didn't sign off on it, even though they tried to gaslight me and tell me I did. I had a version of the handbook from when we started, but this wasn't it. One time I was at an offsite meeting for work and I didn't have my car because we all traveled there together. I got a call requesting I pick up my son because he wouldn't take a nap and I said I wouldn't be able to make it there in the one hour window they give you to pick up your child. I was BERATED and told from here on out I better have my car with me at all times. The director spoke to me like this frequently - like she was in charge of my life. As I see it, I'm paying for a service and providing THEM with their paycheck... not the other way around. They continue to get away with this, though, because waitlists are so long and they know they can replace a child the next day. Ownership shifted from multiple people to one individual and herein lies the negative changes. They also started accepting ABC vouchers, which seems to have changed the way they treat some kids. I know how all this sounds, trust me, but it's true. I've spoken to other parents this has happened to and I know the daycare will respond to this message in attack mode like I see they've done to other reviews but that's fine because this is all facts. Believe the negative reviews guys... go check the abcquality.org website because it doesn't lie (find them under " Upstate Preschool DBA Kids 'R' Kids"). They have high severity issues that they've been caught for and are rated a C. It's sad that the school went so downhill because we loved it at the beginning. Writing all this benefits me in no way personally, but I feel like parents need to see real reviews from real parents to make decisions about where to send their children. Find another facility.

Southern shops daycare passed with flying colors in every aspect that I could research online! So my wife and I signed up our almost 2 year old to attend. At first he would cry when I would drop him off in the morning. As I expected. But within a few minutes of standing outside, his crying stopped. And I could peak through the window to see him start playing with the other kids. When I would pick him up he was always very happy. And after a while he started to hug the ladies that were caring for him goodbye for the day. This told me that my hours apon hours apon days, and weeks of researching daycares paid off in excellent childcare for my son Hunter. He would still be going here if covid had not forced them to close because of low enrollment. I'm putting this review because they earned it! I'm not the type to give respect till it's earned. And all the ladies and 1 man earned my respect a million times over for caring for my son like he was one of their own!!! My next part of my review is for any other daycare looking for top notch childcare employees. If you see on an application that they worked at southern shops daycare..... look no further, you have found the perfect person for the job! Just hire them! They are always on time and very skilled at what they do! Thank you for reading, I am very sad that covid made them have to close....

We have spent nearly, if not more than, $100,000 there. For most of our time there, we had a great experience. Until this year. Not sure what changed besides the constant rotating of teachers and maybe being understaffed? We had all three of our girls there. Our oldest was shamed into wear pants with dresses and now has body image issues at the ripe age of 5 due to constantly being told she needs to wear pants with her dresses. She won't wear a dress now without pants. However, Mrs. Wagner is a godsend and frankly too good for Solverus. The real issues began about a year when our middle child. There had been multiple times where we could hear Judy yelling at her and the other kids. She's also told me multiple times that we need to "take our kid home and whip her". Judy is also a family member of the admin so there's some nepotism and lack of accountability there. Anyway, our middle child doesn't fit the mold. She pushes buttons and can be a firecracker at times. Apparently that was too much for Solverus. We had multiple conferences with the admin and did everything they asked of us. At one of our last meetings, it started with the admin saying "I don't know what goes in the classroom" even though they have cameras set up. However, when we asked them to do things like take recess away as a punishment, that never happened. Instead at any little inconvenience they called us to come pick her up. They suspended her on a Friday because she wouldn't line up for recess and then they sent her to the office. Instead of communicating with her and trying to calm her down, they just called us instead. It was on that Friday that I was told Kathy, the director, wanted to speak with me on Monday. Monday came and they told us they were no longer allowing her at Solverus. Not only that, but they kicked our 1.5 year old out as well when I told them I was recording the call. No grace period. No time to find another place. We are a 2-parent working home and now we have nowhere to put our girls. There's a good bit of amazing teachers there including Mrs. Wagner, Ms. Tesla, Ms. Alana, and others but the admin and management are inadequate to say the least. I would highly recommend you look around and explore your options before considering this establishment.
