I am not usually the type of person to write a review of a place, but I am honestly just trying to look out for prospect parents. Before I start I want to say that I worked in childcare for multiple years, so I am familiar with state policies (was not mentioned to staff at time of tour) and I have toured other daycares in the area. My family went on a tour and I saw/had several issues that I did not see at other daycares. To begin, the assistant director was the one to give the tour. All other daycares I've toured the director was the one giving the tour. The main issue is have with that is that we had several questions that she said she did not know and would have to ask the director. If you do not know information about your own center why are you giving the tour. While on the tour, I saw classrooms that did not have enough staffing yet there was staff members just sitting outside of classrooms. I was also quite confused by what I saw on what they are calling a playground. To start it hardly had any toys/ equipment. All it had was two play structures. The assistant director said one structure for the littles and one for the bigger kids, but there was no evidence of any toys other than that. No outside toys. I also noticed that in the material that covered the ground of the playground there were holes and there was a lot of leaves and other debris. I will say that the teacher that I spoke to was extremely nice and seemed to be knowledgeable, but the assistant director took me into the room in the middle of laying the children down for nap and asked the teacher to turn the light on so I could see the classroom. It didnt seem like a good time to be asking all of that of the teacher. When the tour concluded I was asked if I wanted to continue with the enrollment paperwork, I said that I had another tour scheduled the assignment director became clearly annoyed. It was overall not a great tour and I can't recommend. read more

I enrolled my son in KTLC when I found out Discovery Day Care Center (at the hospital) was closing. KTLC was a few weeks away from opening at that time, but I immediately felt welcomed by the staff and comfortable about the change when I went for a tour. The building is amazing, I love all of the modern touches they have, and absolutely appreciate the thought that went into the playground so it was safe for the children. My son started when he was 7 weeks old and is now 2 1/2 years old. The teachers and staff have become part of our family. I work full-time and I do not worry about him for a minute. I know he is in wonderful hands. They also have a nurse on staff to help with minor injuries or care for a chronic illness. My son has reactive airway disease and often needs his inhaler during the winter months and I know he will receive the medication as needed. My son has learned so much from being at KTLC. I am amazed every day when I pick him up and he is telling me something new or writing his letters. I know they are teaching him something while I am gone, but I know they also make it fun for him. He loves getting up in the morning and going to school. He will wake up on Saturdays and grab his breakfast bag and say, "Go to Kids Town mommy." KTLC also has a wonderful summer program for older children. My 6 year old participated in it last summer and had a BLAST. They did field trips everyday. The field trips were a mixture of fun and education. It was a great experience for him. He loves going to the school to pick up his brother when he can just so he can see everyone. I definitely recommend the school! read more

I couldn't disagree more. I love this school, the teachers and the staff. They have done nothing but been wonderful and helpful since the first day my son started there. My child has been there since Feb. 2009 and I just currently enrolled my 8wk old baby in their infant program. They have a wonderful building and and a great academic program. My child has flourished academically as well as socially. They have a great reading and math program for my older son. Plus the teachers keep me informed of what they are learning so that I can incorporate that into home life. This is a wonderful program and I can not believe the accusations this other parent is saying. For one the fund-raising program is optional. It's not mandatory that we buy anything, but if you do it benefits the children. The schools buys more books and educational toys. I have never seen a yankee candle fundraiser. When my older son started there he was in the toddler program and he came home with wonderful art projects and special letters that he's learning for the week. As far as their meal program, my child is eating things now that he normally would not eat. In my opinion if I was that unhappy and that uncomfortable with a facility I would pull my children out the first week, I wouldn't have waited 5 months. I think you have other issue or your rating the wrong school. I recommend this school to all my co workers and my friends which they have signed up to and they love it. I have 100% confidence leaving my children there. read more

As a grandmother, I worry about my grandchildren - their care, safety, and education. I am so pleased with the care, concern and love my grand daughter receives at Kidstown. She loves to go there. The staff, teachers and everyone there are so friendly and make you feel welcome and show how much they care for the students. The first time I visited Kidstown, I was very impressed by the security and safety. The children are protected at all times, and in times like today this is very important. I am a former teacher of over 30 years, and cannot begin to say how impressed by the education my grand daughter has recieved. She is not yet five and has already learned her ABC's and 123's, has an unbelieveable vocabulary, and is beginning to read. Her teacher, Miss Zamore is one in a million. She works so hard with the children, shows them how much she cares and has the ability to expand their education to unbelieveable heights. She even comes to parties at her home. Miss Zamore teaches not only academics, she also teaches social and life skills to the students. The students at Kidstown not only learn the basics, they are challenged to investigate and ask questions and seek answers. My grand daughter has been at Kidstown for over three years and I would not change a minute of it. Kidstown is a caring, loving, safe and academically progressive center and I would recommend it to everyone who wants the best, becasue they are! read more

I have had my daughter with KTLC since she was nine weeks old. She is now 21 months. I have found them to be caring, detail oriented and extremely clean. The owner is on site every morning and afternoon cleaning every surface there is and opening the door for moms and dads who have their hands full. In my daughter's room are four or five other children who have been there since they were infants. At 21 months, she is now counting to 12, starting on her ABC's and knows most animals and the sounds they make. And yes, I teach her but when she throws out the bear sound (one I forgot to teach her) I know that she is getting the extra learning directly from the teachers at Kids Town. The facility is wonderful including the outdoor playground area complete with the padded mats vs. the mulch you see at most daycare facilities. As a full time employed parent, its tough to take your baby to daycare. Over the 18+ months we have been with Kids Town - I have nothing but glowing reviews. Some of her daycare teachers have become friends, often texting me pictures of my daughter and her daily art work (and there is always tons of artwork coming home)! This place goes way beyond daycare to provide a wonderful learning and creative environment for your children. I checked into pricing heavily and they run much less than the Goddard School for a high level of care and attention. read more

My son has been there for a year and I am completely pleased with everything. The staff take the time to get to know you and your children, their preferences and special needs. This is the first time I have ever used a daycare/preschool facility and was very nervous about relying on someone else to care for my child but I needed help getting him ready for school. They did a great job teaching him the skills he needs to start school. I did check several of the web sites that list day care violations and none of the child care facilities around me are exempt. In my profession, I know that is also a way for facilities to improve their services. The facility is beautiful and clean and the staff are very professional. The manager always has on open door if you have any concerns/questions. The summer program kept my son completely busy with great field trips and activities that he looked forward to going to. I only remember one fundraiser and it was for St Judes, which I thought was a great way to introduce to my son the idea of social responsibility. Otherwise, my grade schooler comes home with much more fundraiser fliers. I also liked that they offered pictures, like the grade schools, with three kids it was one less thing that I felt I had to take care of. read more

This "learning center" is probably the most unprofessional center I've ever encountered with. They never have enough food to feed the children! Mind you these parents pay a ton of money for their kids to go there just for them to eat 1 cracker and a block of cheese! , they have mold growing underneath the classroom sinks, Patti the Director ignores every issue they encounter! Carbon monoxide detectors went off she totally ignored them, instead of calling the fire department she took the detectors out the building... which is insane they are for safety! Not a safe environment for your child. I do not recommend at all. Clare the assistant director is a racist bitch! Mistreats the children and belittles her coworkers. They never engage with the children, barely knows their names unless their talking crap about the parents. Two nasty people who should not be there running the business. I feel sorry for those kids read more

The hardest thing a parent has to do is leave their child with someone else. Three years ago I had to do that with my daughter. Good thing we picked KTLC to look after her. From the moment I walked in the door I knew it was the place for us. The lessons she has learned as a 2-5 year old are amazing. Miss Zamora is and has been wonderful she makes sure the children learn ABC's and 123's but also so many other lessosn too. How many 3-4 year olds know about Volcanoes? Dinosaurs? So many more things too. I have been extremely lucky to find KTLC at the right time for our daughter. They are like family to us, from Mr. Ronnie (who takes time out of his busy days running another company) greeting families in the morning, to Mrs Patti & Mrs. Becky always there to lend a hand or answer a question. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend KTLC to anyone who wants the best for their child. read more

I have had my daughter here at KTLC for the past 2 1/2 years and wouldn't go anywhere else. She loves her teachers and the rest of the staff and I'm very pleased with them as well. They ensure no room is out of ratio, they have the best health dept checks and such, and they are very involved with you as a parent. Their open door policy is great, and they truly take any concerns or comments to heart. The building is very secure compared to most in the area, and I love the pick policy of someone else beside you(the parent) or anyone else in system is not picking up your child(ren). And it's not just a daycare. They really are a learning center. Because of this, yes you will pay a little more, but early development and education is more important than someone just watching your child. My daughter has blossomed beautifully with both social skills and all developmental skills. read more

I have 2 kids@Kids Town and they absolutely love it here. The teachers and staff are so friendly and nice and our kids look forward to school everyday. My experience has been an extremely pleasant one and I have to say my family and I are so fortunate to have found such wonderful care providers. I would recommend this place to anyone because your kids will feel so loved and get all the attention they need to grow in a nourishing environment. read more

My daughter has been going to Kids Town Learning Center for 5 years now. She started in kindergarten and has attended the summer camps and before and after school programs. The teachers that we've experienced have all been great. The summer camp is well worth the money. They go on a few field trips a week and also have water play at the school. We love the staff and teachers at Kids Town! read more
