They are ALL about the children. In addition, Ms. Barbara is a true gem. My daughter started coming when she was 10 weeks, and I was beyond nervous. After meeting Ms. Anissa, Ms. Amanda, and Ms. Olga, I knew that this was was the right place. They were the first people to get her to smile. My daughter would light up when she saw them. Honestly, I would light up too. These women are magical. When she moved to infant room 2, I was nervous again, but the ladies transitioned baby girl slowly. Ms. Shelby, Ms. Erica, and Ms. Noty ensure that my baby girl is happy and safe. Every time I pick her up, she seems like she is having the time of her life. When it was time to start giving her solid food, everyone was on- board with giving her a vegetarian diet. They ensure that she is getting what she needs. I love the staff to infant ratio. I adore the little play area. I especially like the fact that she has her own little bed to nap in. If you are looking for a place that your child will love to come to, then this is the place. Take a tour!

This daycare is amazing. Hands down the best childcare in Kenner. I began reflecting this week as…read moremy daughter was turning 1 about the past year. She began at Prime Steps at only 8 weeks old. Between Ms. Aisha and Ms. Olga I was quickly put at ease. They loving cared for my sweet Sydney like she was their own. Over the year I have witnessed a special community that is more of a family where great teaching is taking place. I love seeing older children almost daily show parents evidence of learning. Proudly handing their Moms and Dads work and art projects. Then through the cafeteria where you can still smell the balanced hot lunch. There is also always someone cleaning. I love how at breakfast the various teachers are helping little ones take pride in establishing healthy habits. Then through the play yard to the infant rooms. There I get a complete report of Sydney day and schedule. Here Ms. Maria, Ms. Norma or Ms. Shelly always have some great progress to inform me. From all on the managers, owners and employees I could not be happier. Thank you for giving my girl the best foundation.

This daycare is so attentive. They are clean! Shoes off at the door! I love that! They actually love the children and it shows. There's always something for kids and parents to interact. There are curriculums even for the infants so they're always learning. Themed days that I always look forward to. I can call or show up as much as I'd like without feeling like a bother. They have a nice little cozy breastfeeding room for me to use when I come. Playgrounds for the teeny tots on up to the 4 year olds. Although, we don't have access to them all the time (I'd like to), there are cameras everywhere so if you need to see something you can. The app they use makes communication easy throughout the day. When they have the time, I look forward to the random pictures I sometimes get of my little one. I also love how diverse it is here! I was so hesitant and nervous about sending my baby to daycare because of all the horror stories we hear, and obviously nobody loves your baby like you do BUT carousel is a close second. I'd choose them over and over again.

That was a biggie because my son actually came over to hug and kiss my goodbye, he was comfortable enough for me to leave without a scene!

We were already somewhat knowledgeable about Montessori so we knew that we wanted to go in that direction. When we got a chance to tour the school our breaths were taken away. As a parent, you look for signs of to determine how you feel about an environment. Well, we saw nothing but good and have continued to see that since enrolling our own son. First, the calmness of the classroom was unlike anything I have ever seen when visiting an establishment that cares for young children. It was not wiled and crazy with kids running everywhere with no sense of direction. Second, the demeanor of the children themselves and their interaction with the teachers floored me. I did not see fear or distrust. Instead, I saw a wonderful relationship between the children being cared for and the women that care for them. The women of Kinder Haus Montessori care for my son and the other children as if they were their own. They have a patience about them that put me completely at ease. I have not worried about leaving my son in their care and his progression and love for his teachers has only furthered my trust in them. Since enrolling him almost nine months ago now his development and independence has grown and he impresses us every single day. He is learning in a way that I feel would have benefited me as a child. Kinder Haus Montessori is also helping to further what I began teaching him at home. I have a degree in sign language and when I learned that they use sign language as a form of communication, I was ecstatic. I am happy he is with them. All in all, I love knowing that our son is happy, cared for in a way that I see fit, learning in a way that I feel is necessary for his age group and on top of all of that being taught other things that I am passionate about. See for yourself.

Where they LIED, EXAGGERATED, and threatened me. The "supposed" owner and Assistant director sent me this. Very Unprofessional and inappropriate message, after I was in fact nice and kind and happily left that nasty germ infested place with grace!!
