I appreciate the teachers for making do with my daughters' hard days and even putting a smile on their faces at the end of those days. I would 100% recommend to any parent or guardian looking for genuine care and education.

I always recommend Diapers 2 Diplomas to any family needing great care with affordable costs! Every teacher is knowledgeable and great with every child they interact with. Our girls are always excited to see their teachers, leave with smiles on their faces and excited for the next day!

I was referred by a friend to check out Premier Academy for my 4 month old. I went a looked at two…read moreothers before Premier Academy and was completely terrified! Premier Academy has wonderful staff who made me feel like my daughter would be well taken care of. They also have the Tadpoles app where they send you pictures throughout the day which is the number one thing I love most, honestly! Seeing my babe in a great mood and smiling while I am at work feels great! All of the teachers I have met are the sweetest and seem to really enjoy their job which is also very comforting. I don't plan on leaving this daycare as long as I need it!

Horrible teacher in the 2 year old room I seen her telling at the kids more then once. They were in…read moresuch a rush all the time my kids diaper was always half on. They gave me the wrong coat 2x then asked if I was sure it was the wrong coat. Uuum it's my child. Yes I'm sure. Unprofessional. Unclean on the inside toys are dirty and they are not very understanding of different kids needs.

I agree with Sam S. I have experienced this as well, and later found out that complaints had been…read morefiled against them with DHS. It is not an environment I want my child in all day. 8th Street childcare in Altoona is amazingly better. The difference is night and day. I would suggest 8th Street, but they are constantly full and for good reason! They came with high recommendations from DHS.

AKW is very clean, the staff is friendly to your face. I have learned over the several years my…read morechildren have attended AKW that even the adult women (director and assistant director) gossip and act like they are in high school. It is full of drama. Traci - director at AKW 2, tells stories of other parents and their behavior and how they treat their children. She is aggressive, defensive, vindictive and not someone I want to associate with. Unfortunately, there are not a great deal of options with the convenience factor so I was forced to deal with them for too long. My children were always cared for, it's too bad the staff acts in such a poor manner. It could be a wonderful place to attend.

This place is amazing! The director is connected with her staff and is always very courteous and…read morerespectful. The teachers here are some of the best, and I can tell that they truly care about, not only my child, but all children in general. The atmosphere is very open and professional. I had one issue while my child attended, but the director took time from her day to talk with me about, and we were able to come to a resolution quickly. It is usually very difficult to get a spot in this center; most parents who are lucky enough to land a spot never leave.

Primrose has been wonderful in more ways than I expected! -The school is new, spacious and beautiful! -The owners are lovely! They give the school a nice feel of a family environment. -The food they serve is healthy and made on site. -Because the school opened recently, the class was small and my girl just loved it from the start, and now she is loving that the class is growing snd she is slowly meeting more children. -The curriculum is great! My girl is learning all about natural resources and other things that are interesting and useful. -When it comes to COVID, they went above and beyond to keep everyone safe (and did more than the bear minimum recommended by the state). They installed air filters that are above the CDC guidelines. Additionally, they are very open and transparent about teachers vaccinations, and really foster a safe environment. I asked other daycares I called if the teachers were planning to get vaccinated - some places just answered: we can't make them, so we don't even ask! Which I know, but that's not enough for me! I highly recommend Primrose School of Urbandale!
