Looking around Reno for a daycare was mission impossible and we were so fortunate that Kiddie…read moreAcademy was opening at the right time and we slipped right in! Our daughter has been there since it has opened and she loves it there!! The owners are amazing people and truly care about your family and listen. The staff is fun, caring, and kind towards not just our child, but towards others as I have witnessed repeatedly! They have worked with our schedule which I am very grateful for and always work towards resolving any issues when they arise. I am very happy with the curriculum the children are learning and the communication that comes from the Academy. The care and schedule is consistent, the kitchen is BIG plus as it takes away from worries of making daily lunches, and we are thankful that our daughter has a hot meal, and eats things that we cannot get her to eat at home, lol. The smile and excitement we get from our child after school speaks volumes! She is always in an amazing mood when she goes to her Academy! Keep up the good work and always grow!!

I was nervous about her starting daycare but she absolutely loves it and is learning new things weekly! We absolutely love the staff. The teachers are so caring and attentive. Big shout-out to Ms. Elizabeth, Ms. Samira, and Ms. Kelsey, they make our daughter so happy and well cared for. The owners Erin and Andrew are incredible and very attentive. It's been a great transition joining Kiddie Academy and we look forward to continuing to have our daughter attend through her childhood. I highly recommend!!!

We live in Northwest Reno and decided to bring our daughter to Blue Kangaroo for daycare. We have…read morenothing but good things to say about our experience! There are a lot of mixed reviews, so I wanted to contribute to the 5 star ones since that is a better reflection of the care they provide. Our daughter has now been in two of their classrooms and we had great experiences with both. They have a camera system for parents to log in and check out what is going on in the room throughout the day which provides some great peace of mind. They have a schedule they follow throughout the day of different activities and learning opportunities for the kids. We bring food for our daughter but they also have snack times where they provide some additional food. Our daughter has learned some great skills from her time here and we love how much socialization she gets from being around the other kids. The rooms are largely organized by different age ranges and they move up once they reach certain milestones, not necessarily right when they reach a particular age. The daycare itself feels secure, you have to enter two different codes when you arrive and then it unlocks the main entrance for you to come inside. The staff are all wonderful and take great care of our girl. The price is affordable compared to other daycares in the area. We are thankful to have found Blue Kangaroo and look forward to continuing to work with them!

Between both of my kids, they have gone there for over 6 years. The owners and staff have been amazing. Life changed and they adapted to the changes with no questions asked; all they said was "anything you need, communicate." All of the teachers through out our years with the goose have been exceptional, Ms Tima has and always will be my children's favorite teacher ever. She got into a bad accident last year visiting her family, and my children cried, they wanted to make sure Ms. Tima was okay. WE are SO blessed she is still here with us today. My daughter LOVED helping Tima with anything in the classroom and Tima knew she could always count on my daughter to help her. Ms Tori, you may feel like you're not recognized enough, but you ARE. You are SO appreciated, loved, and thank you for making sure the school is the way it is. The school couldn't be the way it is, without YOU! Lastly, Bridget and your family -- we cannot thank you guys enough from welcoming our family with arms wide open, loving, caring, and teaching our children for the last 6 years. You guys have gone through changes with us and through all of that, you and the staff was nothing short of amazing, supportive people that we adore. I cannot thank you and your staff enough for getting us through it all and allowing my children to have a safe place, teaching them, and allowing them to grow into themselves. We already miss you guys and I promise to bring them and send cards. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH. I will FOREVER recommend the goose to any family that's needing assistance. I have had golden goose's phone number on my "favorites" list and the app for 6 years, I'm not ready for those things to go away yet. I cannot thank you guys enough.

All of the ladies are really helpful, and the app/integration to see how the child's day went is very helpful. I would recommend this establishment to my friends with kids, although a bit pricey, in my experience worth it.

Now that I'm relocating out of state to Colorado, I requested the return of the $700 deposit I paid, and they refused, saying it's "non-refundable." We're talking about daycare, not a university. Keeping a deposit after never offering the spot you promised feels like taking money under false pretenses. This isn't about the amount -- it's about the principle, and it's deeply disappointing.

Our kids: - were excited to be there every day - were surrounded by wonderful, nurturing teachers who balanced play with development. Our kids were beyond prepared for kindergarten in every sense. - made tons of friends, including from younger and older classes because there's some cross-over play time. It's small enough that every teacher knew our kids well. - loved the facility - the rooms have a super happy energy and the backyard is shady and full of activities - had the option to participate in a wide range of extra activities that the school coordinates to take place onsite - Spanish, soccer, swimming, gymnastics, dance Both of my daughters attended from age 3 onward and I only wish we'd started there sooner because the difference in their happiness between their first preschool and Creative World was so stark. We're so grateful to everyone there who played such a pivotal role in our children's lives (and ours in taking such good care of them!). We've since recommended it to a number of friends, who've all had similarly fantastic experiences.

He also really struggled with socializing and every staff member was so warm, gentle, and patient with him. Additionally, Creative World provides enrichment opportunities you can choose to have your child participate in throughout the school day such as Spanish classes, gymnastics, Soccer Shots, and swim lessons through Little Ones Swim next door. This was so helpful as a parent because he could learn different skills and it was all taken care of during the school day. Every month they send out a schedule of snacks, events, and themes for the week. They are on top of curriculum and they stick to their plans. Miss Liz also makes sure things are running smoothly and has amazing communication with the families. I would highly recommend Creative World!

My experience with enchanted castle has been nothing but excellent!…read more My daughter started here when she was 3. Since then I have enrolled my son and my newborn. Mrs Angela, Mrs Lisa , Mrs Bailey and Mrs Tiffany and Mrs Holly have all treated us like family. From the education to the emotional development my children have grown so much. They hire teachers of quality and have never made my kids feel uncomfortable. We appreciate you all

My child attended Enchanted Castle for two days in January of 2021, for about 4 hours each day. The…read morefirst day seemed to go okay, though I was concerned when the main teacher of my child's room stopped mid sentence to yell at a different child across the room. I set it aside since it was to have the child remove something from their mouth and I figured that was better than choking. When I arrived to pickup up my child he was happy and didn't want to leave. The second day when I arrived to pickup my child he wanted to leave immediately, he was even distressed when I stopped to grab his lunch and water bottle. As soon as we arrived home he began to grab the front of his diaper and say "ouch, ouch, ouch." This is something he had never done before, he had never even said "ouch" before. When I changed his diaper I discovered that his genitals and the area immediately surrounding them were red and inflamed. Upon further inspection the skin from the body of the penis was torn away from the glans. Again, something that has never happened before with my child. I immediately documented the incident, called the facility to report the incident and that my child would not be returning. The director apologized and said they would speak with the teachers in that room. I received an email later that evening that the teachers reported that his last diaper change (20 mins before I picked him up) was wet and everything was normal. Nothing else. I picked up his items later that week and there was no acknowledgment of the incident. I asked several friends who have boys if they had ever had anything similar happen with their kids; none, not a single one had ever had this issue. They were all shocked to hear of such an incident. The only thing they could think of was either long nails or jewelry snagging the skin of his penis while changing him or being overly rough while changing him. I am not a person who wears long nails or jewelry, so this is not something I thought of. My child is very active, has run around the house naked playing and climbing, and has never ever injured his genitals doing so. Regardless, either the teachers providing care to these 2 year olds don't know what normal is or they (and/or the director) lied about any incident occurring. I'm so glad I removed my child from the facility when I did, earlier this summer I received notification that a teacher in the 2 year old room was reported to social services for mishandling a child. Do not leave your child here. The anxiety of trying to find another childcare facility to trust has been an utter nightmare since our experience here.

This Learning Center is exceptional! It's always buzzing with energy, thanks to its constant…read morecommunity projects and activities like Trunk or Treat, Santa events, and many others throughout the year. Every time I walk in, it's clear that the kids are genuinely happy. My child, in particular, loves the friendships she's forming and is even learning to be bilingual at just 3 years old! The biggest little learning center focuses on child growth and development though play and individual leaning aid. I truly feel that this is an incredible asset for my daughter's growth as she continues to get older. The director fosters a supportive environment by encouraging staff to further their education and engage in personal development. She collaborates with state programs to ensure success, which leads to better outcomes for child care. The low turnover rate and happy staff make a huge difference--it's clear that the staff genuinely care about the children, which provides peace of mind for parents. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a nurturing and enriching environment for their children!

DO NOT RECOMMEND…read more They overcharged us one week tuition when we were no longer enrolled. This was 6 weeks ago. We called over 10 times and sent multiple emails and literally get a different BS explanation every time or no answer at all. They don't have an answering machine or service and are super unresponsive. I'm officially reporting them to the better business bureau for refusing to refund the money they owe us. Not great - you're getting what you pay for. This is definitely more of a daycare than a school, there was no curriculum and no emphasis on learning that I witnessed at all. Also, the staff is super inconsistent on logging activity in the app. Most days, I had no idea if he had a nap or eaten normally. The facility is very dirty, even the director's office when you walk in is filthy. They keep all of the children in one tiny room most of the time with very little to engage them. Our two-year-old was kept with much younger children and picked up terrible habbits in the one month he was there including hitting and screaming. The staff would always say he had a good day, but half the time he was crying when we picked him up which is not his usual demeanor. My husband also witnessed a much older child (belonging to a staff member) hitting smaller children on the very first drop off day and no one interviened. The tuition is low and they include snacks and meals, but they aren't nutritions options I would choose at home

Our youngest will be starting at their Lavender Door school this fall (ages 1+), and we're really excited for her to have the same experience. We love the mixed-age classrooms. They're so great for learning and social development. The rotational schedule is one of our favorite parts too. The kids get to move between rooms and try different activities, and my daughter's "favorite" room changes all the time because she has fun in all of them. It really is a fantastic preschool!
