This is the best school so far, our son attended this place pre-COVID, our son loved and enjoyed…read moreimmediately after he started, it was amazing to see after my son cried for a year and half at the previous school. It was worth waiting for them to be available for my son. Teachers were very supportive, gave us suggestions and helped our sons development. The office staff knew our cars so they called our son as soon as I turn into the driveway and he was ready to come out when we park the car, we didn't wait to pick up our son. We enjoyed attending every events like the open school, grandparents day, and Christmas, not only to see my son but others growth. What we liked was their menu too, they had fish day. They care what nutrients to give children too. We were sad to leave this school.

Barnyard was a saving grace for our 2 girls. We had a ruff experience with another day care and…read morewhere urgent to find another. Barnyard was recommended by a neighbor so we checked it out. At face value you walk in and the school is full of character. No boring white walls. I mean there's a model train going around the ceiling by. Play grounds are well kept and there's even a splash pad. While this is not a Montessori school our girls have not only received a great education, the arts and craft creativity projects are endless. I will say this school is based in core Christianity beliefs so if that if that is an issue for you, this may not be your place. I can say nothing our girls have learned or repeated is offensive in anyway. Admin and staff- we have seen some turn over but have never had an issue with new teachers. Health and safety- the school is very good at communicating Health/ safety issues ( black outs, weather impacts , etc). They also routinely perform monthly evacuation and situational awareness. So bottom line no school or daycare will ever measure up to a parents expectations of care for their kids... but while there maybe some bumps here and there I still believe the staff at this school deserve endless margaritas and metals everyday of the week!

We love brandy the director and all the teachers at barnyard. My kids loved their time at barnyard,…read morelearned so much about God (my daughter loves worship time, so sweet to see her come home and lift her hands in worship and love to pray). This daycare was highly recommended by friends and we were on the waitlist for quite a few months before we got in but it was worth the wait. It was also super affordable compared to other daycares. The only reason we left was due to distance, wish we could move it closer to our new home.

My son has been in the professional and tender care of Lake Cities Montessori for nearly two years!…read moreHe started in the infant program at nine months of age after having a private in-home nanny. His caregiver in the infant room sent me photos almost every day as I adjusted to this new routine. Although that particular teacher is no longer with the organization, she is still in touch with my family--a testament to the caliber of people employed by Lake Cities. My son is now in the toddler program, and nearly 3. I've enjoyed watching him blossom under the loving tutelage of this school. We are incredibly satisfied with the staff and facilities. It is a smaller organization that can truly take an individualized approach with each child. I am grateful to have found such a wonderful program for my son.

Horrible experience! I was forced to write review after 30 days my daughter attended the school. I…read moredidn't write it right away because I couldn't really tell and the owner followed me to my car to remind me to write it; made sure i had to write 2 reviews one from me and another feom my husband with 2 different IP addresses so they could get more review. I gave 4 star due to small facility and the school closed 3 weeks for Christmas break and we still had to pay for whole month of tuition fee plus lunch money that is not inlcuded in the tuition fee. Keep in mind the tuition fee here is not cheap. The owner insulted me and threatened me to bring down the review because it brought down his overall review or he would kick her out of school. Dig deeper you will find another bad review about this school on yelps, maybe they can't delete it on there! It didn't stop there. A month later after I moved my 4 years old daughter to different school she told me a story at her old school that her teacher told her if she wouldn't eat with her mouth close she would duct tape her mouth under the carport. My blood is still boiling thinking about this school. Save yourself a headache and go somewhere else!

We love North Garland Montessori. My daughter just turned 23 months and can count to ten, say…read moreplease and thank you. She also asks politely for things she wants. I have noticed she is much happier here. We had to put her in a daycare for spring break week and she would cry a lot as well as throw tantrums after. The caretaker said she hardly talked the whole week. I'm assuming from the unstructured chaos of their day. I truly value the calmness of North Garland and the amount of individual attention she gets so that she is able to grow and learn on her own. Our daughter is also naturally independent and hard headed. It's amazing watching that be directed into a positive thing. Excited to get her back in school Monday.

In my opinion most families don't realize the importance of preschool in building a foundation for furthering your child's education but if you're looking for a school that will provide structure education play through learning as well as personal growth and discipline for your child you found the right place. I couldn't say anything other then enroll now! Within the first 10 days of the school year my just three-year-old learned the pledge allegiance of allegiance. I was so happy to hear him recite it to me! God bless America and God Bless Primrose of Firewheel!

Front end staffs are always greeting you with warm and friendly smiles, and in my surprise this is the first school that the staffs / owner open the door for you in the morning and closing during peak time pick up and drop off. I appreciate how Sharon the owner are very involved with the school, and how she cares for the kids. The money you paid, are in return back to your kids. I have never spend money on bringing in tissues or sipping cups for my child... oh did I mentioned, 3 of My kids are enrolled here! From toddler to private kindergarten, all the teachers are great! Since i have experienced with my infant teacher Ms Joyce, Michelle, and Sarah. My son preschool teacher Ms Phyllis and funny Ms Z are incredibly patient. Private kindergarten Ms Renfro strict yet I love her! The curriculum are outstanding and my kids have learned so much at expressing their thoughts and feelings... well maybe a bit too much :) I couldn't be any happier! Thank you so much for everything you do.

I like the home setting more personally and wanted my 2 year old daughter to have a more cozy close-knit place to learn and spend her days! My first meeting with Angela I knew immediately I'd finally found "the one"! She was so sweet to my daughter and I the minute we walked in! She definitely loves her job anybody will quickly experience her warmth and passion for kids! I enjoyed her in depth questions and discussion we had about what my goals were for my daughter while she was there. Environment: safe, organized, very well set up kiddy place! So many activities & best of all she has a great schedule and routine she sticks to! I love that she worked on potty training too since we're in the midst! She feeds the kids great healthy home-made & organic foods! Best part on our first day was her midday update to me on how my little princess was doing! She had an amazing day I could tell by her not asking for Mama once on her first day at school. I could go in but I would highly recommend Ms. Angela to anybody! Whether it's full-time or drop in care, I can say you won't regret leaving your precious kiddos in wonderful warm hands!

If I could give 0 stars I would...but the minimum is 1. Ok,…read morelet's jump right into the meat of the issue.... We placed our 2 year old daughter into Little Butterflies Learning Center (2814 Lavon Drive, Garland TX) on 2/4/20. On 2/7/20 they told us that all new enrollees were being yanked out. The excuse/ reason given was that "the teachers were overwhelmed" by the ratio of kids to teachers. Rhetorical Question: Do you guys think that stringing people along is ok? My wife sent Mrs. Brooks an email (snippet in photo); she asked for a full refund and without hesitation, it was issued. A brief apology was also given and accepted. Question #2: Why did/ do you guys put such a burden on your teachers? Sounds to me as if you need to listen more to your teachers. If they are telling you they are overwhelmed, then don't allow more kids to enroll!! I could be wrong about this but you guys pulled an extremely unprofessional move! To future parents: Do I recommend sending your child here? Not really sure...I recommend interviewing the staff first to get a feel on how happy they are. _______ I'm going to copy/ paste this review to EVERY single review opportunity that I find for your company online. I'm going to make sure that it does not go away so easily as you thought it would by issuing that lil refund so swiftly. Just be more professional going forward!!!! You could have given us the two weeks that YOU require for ending an enrollment. *Angry father out*

Also the sweetest teacher in his class kindly suggested to us he might need speach therapy and she was right. I'm so glad she helped us get the ball rolling reguarding his speech. The entire staff knows the parents and children by name and that makes me feel very secure. I'm thankful my boys get to learn about Jesus too.
