It's hard to put into words just how much Parkside Kids has meant to our family…read more For the past nine years, Miss Stephanie and the entire Parkside Kids team have been such an important part of our girls' lives. From the moment we walked through the doors, we knew they were loved, cared for, and treated like family. We were fortunate enough to experience both the original in-home daycare and the transition to the Parkside Kids center, and it was seamless. The same love, attention, and family atmosphere that made us feel at home from the very beginning only continued to grow. The peace of mind that comes from knowing your children are happy and safe each day is something every parent hopes for, and Parkside Kids gave us exactly that. Every teacher and caregiver has been incredible. They didn't just care for our children--they encouraged them, celebrated their milestones, and helped them grow into the amazing little girls they are today. Along the way, our girls made friendships and memories they'll carry with them for years to come. The facility is always impeccably clean, communication has consistently been excellent, and it's clear how much pride everyone takes in creating a warm, welcoming environment. It's no surprise that whenever someone asks for a daycare recommendation, Parkside Kids is always my answer. We've recommended them to family and friends over the years, and I would do it again without hesitation. While we're excited for the next chapter, saying goodbye is bittersweet. This place has been such a meaningful part of our family's journey, and we'll always look back on these years with gratitude. Thank you, Miss Stephanie, and the entire Parkside Kids team, for nine incredible years. Thank you for loving our girls, supporting our family, and giving them such a wonderful start in life. We will always be grateful.

It is clear Steph and Parkside's wonderful teachers love what they do, and our toddler son felt right at home from our very first day at the center. Steph's years of experience operating an in home center have seamlessly scaled to a larger daycare center setting while maintaining high standards and a close knit family feel. We have been less than impressed by other daycares in the area but have always felt comfortable and confident leaving our son in Parkside's very capable hands. In addition to the wonderful owner/director and staff, the indoor and outdoor play areas are clean and appropriately stimulating for young children. There is so much space and variety for children to explore, play, and burn energy, which is a huge plus for our active little one. I always have to drag my son out of Parkside at pick up time because he just loves playing with the excavators and rocks outside! The extreme cleanliness of the facility, nutritious and included meals, convenient hours of operation, frequent updates and pictures via the Brightwheel app, and reasonable rates are other things we appreciate. Our family highly recommends Parkside Kids!

The teachers play games with the kids and have interactive learning. My oldest was almost ready for kindergarten before he even started pre-K because of his great teachers! Prices are fair and the staff is very flexible, understanding, and caring. Both of my kids like it there and I like knowing they're safe, learning, and having fun!

Very small portions given to the children, no Milk is provided during the day unless you provide it. complains if child is hungry outside of meal times. Meals are not something most children would eat (rice and beans). Menu is of no use to you since he does not follow and rarly provided to parents. Never enough food given to children and they are not allowed seconds. I provide lunch and snacks each day and still there is issue with what he is allowed to eat and what time he is allowed to eat it. Teachers are the only good thing that has happened to this center. Once they realize how poorly it is run they go to other centers to work. Look around for a new center!
