I want to share my recent experience to help other families avoid going through the same situation…read more I specifically asked for financial assistance and grant information BEFORE even scheduling a daycare tour, because cost is a major factor for my family. The program director, Savi, told me that the information could not be provided until after paying a fee. After paying $125, I later learned from the funding agency that there is a waiting list over a year long, and we are currently #49. The agency also stated that providers are fully aware of these waitlists and should be disclosing this before collecting any fees. To make things worse, I was later told there was an assumption that I was already approved for assistance--which is completely untrue and contradicts the email chain. On April 9th, I was told we would need to be approved first before selecting a school, by the program director confirming we were starting the process from scratch. Because of the lack of transparency, my child still cannot attend daycare, and we were put in an unnecessary financial and childcare bind. Please, if you are a parent searching for childcare, make sure you: * Ask about funding, grant programs, and waitlists BEFORE paying any fees * Request all terms and information in writing * Verify timelines and eligibility directly with the funding agency * Confirm that the daycare is being fully transparent I'm sharing this so other families can be informed and avoid unnecessary stress during an already challenging process. Program Director did agree to refund me, so I am waiting fot the refund.

If you are looking for a childcare facility that does NOT prioritizes consistent communication with…read moreparents and keeps families uninformed about their child's daily experiences, this may be the right fit. As a parent, I believe it is important to know how my child is doing, how he is interacting with other children, and whether there are any concerns that need to be addressed. Unfortunately, that level of communication was largely absent throughout our experience. There were multiple occasions when I arrived to pick up my son from his assigned classroom, only to discover that he was in a different classroom. When I asked why he had been moved, I was often unable to get a clear answer. As a parent, it is concerning not to know where your child is throughout the day or the reasons for changes in their routine. When we first enrolled our son, we were informed that the center was in the process of implementing the Procare app as a communication tool between parents and staff. We were told that parents would receive updates, photos, messages from teachers, and notifications regarding supplies such as diapers, wipes, extra clothing, or any other classroom needs. As a mother of six, I appreciated the convenience and reassurance that this system was supposed to provide. However, in practice, communication through the app was nonexistent. There were very few updates about my child's day, limited photos, and little to no information about his progress, activities, or interactions. If supplies were running low, I often found out at the last minute rather than through advance notification. There was also very little proactive communication regarding behavioral concerns, developmental milestones, classroom changes, or incidents that occurred during the day. On several occasions, I learned about issues only after they had become ongoing concerns rather than being addressed collaboratively from the beginning. Most of the time, I had to initiate conversations myself to get information about how my child was doing. Another disappointment was the lack of classroom work and artwork coming home. I expected to see more age-appropriate projects and creative activities that reflected what the children were learning. Artwork was sent home very infrequently, and when it was, it often appeared to be largely teacher-prepared rather than work that my child had independently created. As a parent, I enjoy seeing my child's creativity and developmental progress through the projects they bring home, and that opportunity was limited. My son is an energetic and active child who loves to run, jump, and explore. While I understand that children learn from one another and that no childcare environment is perfect, I began noticing behaviors and language that were not being modeled at home. In addition, I personally observed instances of children hitting one another and using inappropriate language. While occasional behavioral challenges are expected among young children, I was concerned by what I witnessed and by the lack of communication regarding how these situations were being addressed. As time went on, my son began coming home using words and phrases that are not used in our household and displaying behaviors that raised concerns for us as parents. Whenever concerns arose, I took the opportunity to talk with my son about making positive choices, treating others with kindness and respect, and using appropriate language. However, I would have appreciated more communication and partnership from the staff regarding behavioral expectations and incidents occurring during the day. Over the last four months of his enrollment, my concerns continued to increase. Rather than feeling like I was partnering with the staff in my child's care and development, I often felt disconnected from what was happening throughout his day. Open and consistent communication is one of the most important aspects of a quality childcare experience, and unfortunately, that was something I found lacking. Every parent deserves to feel informed, respected, and confident that their questions and concerns will be addressed. My experience left me feeling uncertain and frustrated due to the lack of communication, limited transparency, and difficulty obtaining answers when concerns were raised. While every family's experience may be different, these were significant factors in my decision to reevaluate whether this center was the right environment for my child.

We absolutely love this in-home preschool program! Ashley has been nothing but welcoming and…read moresupportive. Since starting, our 3-year-old has shown such positive behavior changes, including better communication, independence, and social skills.

We're so happy to have found this program , it truly has been such a blessing.

I toured Flourishing Little Leaders after hearing great things from a fellow mom. I had to reach…read moreout to the owner several times before we made contact. Even after speaking with Ashley to set up a tour date, she never followed up with the address of the facility. I ended up finding the address online somewhere and showed up to house. I think I caught her a bit off guard as she had her young son with her and had me wait for a few minutes before starting the tour. Anyways, the tour went well. I liked what I saw and heard. I was really looking to change daycares at the moment since I was days away from giving birth. I told Ashley that my son was exhibiting son challenging "terrible twos" behavior. She said that her assistant and herself were more than equipped to handle behavior issues. She also said that in all of her years she only had to terminate one contract due to challenging behaviors and that was after months of working with the child and family. She also said she really works with families if the kid is having challenging behaviors before terminating a contract. I decided to try this place out because they had a lot of age appropriate activities I felt my son would love. Days 1-5 were a bit rocky, he exhibited some poor behaviors I expected. My son is not malicious, he is just in a time of transition and is getting very frustrated so easily these days. I would check in with the assistant, Raevyn, and at the time she felt my son was just trying to transition and was optimistic about him being successful in the future. By Day 5 we started getting phone calls about his behavior basically telling us to pick him up during the morning. On Day 7 I gave birth and my husband was called to leave the hospital to go pick up my son early, the call was received around 10am. Same happened on Day 8, since my husband couldn't be in two places at once,daycare had to wait until I was discharged until we could pick my son up. I decided to pick him up since I had not seen him while I was in the hospital. Usually you are able to go inside and get your kid, today he was brought out to me. Then Ms. Raevyn told me, "Let me know if you need anything." I told her I needed a full day of childcare.... No response was received. On Day 9 I arrive to drop my son off and the assistant, Ms. Raevyn, asks me, "Do you think he will have a good day?" I told her that I cannot predict that. She called the owner and gave me the phone. The owner, Ashley, said she would not be in today and the assistant cannot handle my son on her own. I repeatedly asked for clarification so Ashley finally said they would not accept my son today but I could expect a call later in the evening with some ideas on how to support Patrick. She specifically said she spoke to a friend who is a behavior therapist and we would discuss some new tips during our evening phone call. Ashley never called me. I called her twice and texted her around 8:30pm and was unable to reach her. I afound this to be so unprofessional. If my son was being excluded, I should know ahead of time, not when I arrive to drop him off. Day 10, when I drop my son off I can already sense the irritation with Ms. Raevyn. I asked her if everything was ok and she said, "Yeah, I'm sick. I mean I have allergies." I get a text from Ashley shortly after drop off letting me know that once my child has 2 more incidents, he will be terminated immediately. Since Ashley doesn't stay onsite all day, she doesn't want my son there after she leave. She texted me I had to pick up my kid and our contract was terminated although he didn't reach the two additional incidents. I would like to thank the team for revealing their true selves so early on so that I would not have to subject my child to their negative energy anymore. (That complaint on the community care licensing probably had more merit than I originally thought). But again, Ashley and Raevyn, I thank you for teaching me a valuable lesson. I was so focused on making sure the childcare checked off the educational boxes my mama teacher heart desired, I wasn't making sure they checked off any social emotional boxes. As each day progressed, I noticed my son becoming increasingly angry. By Days 8-10, he didn't really want to get out of the car to go in to the facility. I should have paid closer attention to this behavior and have not written it off as a new issue arising from his 2 day old sibling. My 2 1/2 year old has been in daycare since he was 4 months old and I never experienced these behaviors from him. Since we stopped taking him to this daycare, he is back to being his normal, happier self.

They love on your child like their own, and communication is so fast and easy because Ms.Julie and Pastor Danny cares about the parents as much as the children. The teachers help the children discover their interests and assist them to grow on their own pace. My child is now independent and confident in learning.

The school is also very very reasonably priced considering the teacher-to-students ratio and the Montessori teaching you receive from the lovely and experienced teachers.
