She even started writing her own name now. If you're looking for a place to for your kiddo as a home away from home I HIGHLY recommend Katie's Kids Preschool! Every day my daughter even has to wave goodbye to the director and or the owner if they are in the office. Such a great place! I could go on and on!

A full year in the books being with Katie's Kids preschool and our family has never been happier!…read more I personally have been involved in my kid's daycares before we moved to Eagle, ID (and also my oldest daughter's school experience being that she is special needs), so I am a bull dog mama making sure the right people are taking care of my kids. The teachers and staff working at Katie's Kids along with Katie herself are exactly who I want molding and helping my children learn and grow. To be honest, reading one of these negative views gets my blood boiling because Katie works so hard to give/provide the best possible experience and atmosphere for our children and her staff. Katie is a BOSS LADY because she has has built her business from the ground up and to be honest if it were a man we were talking about no one would be questioning it. Women need to be lifting other women up not trying to tear them apart. Also, Katie is more direct then most so because she is direct and has strict policy on sickness/illness (to protect her and the school from liability) she is now seen as a rude?!! My kids have had Hand foot, Mouth, pink eye, etc. so we have had to take our kids out for days and weeks at a time. Unfortunately, that is part of the drill when your kids go to daycare/school. They are going to get sick sometimes more often especially if they are new. And believe me it's hard working with your kids home but if your kids are sick or have a contagious bug then no matter what school they are at you would have to keep them home. What I really want to emphasize is that the teachers are happy and you can tell they are part of a family there and I feel that way too. Katie and Wendy are always available; their door is always open if I need to discuss anything but I find myself sharing our lives and all the positive things my kiddos are doing and learning. Leaving your children everyday in the care of someone else is scary and hard to do. I have had family help raising my children, previous day care facilities, an in home facility and school so I know all facets of this industry. That said, I have an almost 2 year old and a 5 year old at Katie's (my oldest is in 1st grade) and we feel good dropping them off EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. My kids are loved and celebrated. They are taught to be kind, respectful and overall good humans which is hard to come by in this day and age. We are blessed to have Katie and her staff in our lives taking care of our children while my husband and I both work and I hope you check it out and find out how wonderful it is for yourself!

I absolutely love this daycare! As a first-time mom, going back to work was incredibly difficult,…read moreso finding a place I could truly trust with my baby was so important to me. Choosing Happy Hearts was the best decision I could have made. The teachers are wonderful, the community feels so close-knit, and their flexibility makes a huge difference. Most of all, you can tell how much each teacher genuinely cares for the children. It gives me complete peace of mind knowing my baby is happy and well cared for while I'm at work. Since starting this daycare, I've noticed my son is hitting milestones quicker and love that he is getting socialization at such an early age. As he grows, I'm excited for him to get to explore: more education opportunities, support with potty training, and to participate in all the fun events they do! A special shout-out to the teachers I've gotten to know and absolutely love: Jazlyn, Anna, Bekah, Destinee, and Summer!

I wouldn't recommend working at this daycare. When I first…read morestarted, I was genuinely excited. I'm a single mom, and I chose this place not just to work, but to also have my twin boys enrolled so I could be closer to them. Sadly, what began as a hopeful opportunity quickly became one of the most toxic and disappointing work environments I've ever experienced. A teacher I initially trusted (my children's teacher) ended up mom-shaming me to my face and behind my back questioning if my children could sing their ABCs, count, or put on shoes, and even suggesting they weren't "smart enough" to be in her class (despite her own son being the same age). She pushed to have them moved down into my classroom and later, when I experienced a serious medical issue at work, she told others I was "faking it." What I went through medically was something beyond my control and deeply personal. To have it dismissed like that was beyond hurtful. I addressed my concerns respectfully and privately with the owner. Instead of addressing the issue directly, she sent out a vague message to staff about gossip but never followed up or took further action. ( which I asked for )That teacher continued to be unkind and unprofessional, including making comments about me not deserving donated diapers for my kids. I asked multiple times for a group meeting to resolve everything calmly and constructively. It never happened. I felt so unsupported, disrespected, and anxious every day at work that I ultimately quit even though I didn't have another job lined up. That should tell you how emotionally exhausting it had become. Before leaving, I shared my disappointment in the staff communication thread not to be dramatic, but because I believe people should treat each other better, especially in a space meant to nurture children. Instead of acknowledging the problem, my message was deleted, ignored, and swept under the rug. Since then, I've heard several more staff members have quit for the same reasons I did. Yet the same individuals who were creating the toxic environment continue to be protected. I truly don't understand why. As for the daycare itself the children are not in danger, and many of the caregivers genuinely do their best. But I do believe the classrooms are too small, outdoor time is limited (30 minutes a day), and efforts to reduce outside play due to "staff interactions" is not in the best interest of the kids. When teacher turnover is high and staff morale is low, that inevitably affects the children, too.

From the very beginning, Chianne made that transition so much easier and gave me complete confidence that my children were exactly where they needed to be. We started with Skies The Limit when it was an in home daycare and preschool and continued when she opened this location. What makes Chianne truly special is her heart for children. She genuinely loves every child who walks through her doors and goes above and beyond to meet each child where they are, helping them learn, grow, and thrive in their own unique way. Two of my three children who attend Skies The Limit are autistic, and finding care that would not only accommodate them but truly embrace them was a challenge. Chianne won them over almost immediately and has cared for them with such patience, understanding, and compassion. She sees their strengths, supports their needs, and creates an environment where they can succeed. Since expanding into their center location, Skies The Limit Christian Academy has continued to exceed our expectations. The entire staff is wonderful and works hard every day to create a safe, nurturing, fun, and engaging learning environment for all of the children. It's clear that everyone there genuinely cares about the kids and takes pride in what they do. One of the things we love most is that our children are not only learning academically, but they are also growing in their faith in a Christ-centered environment. Knowing they are surrounded by loving teachers who reinforce Christian values throughout the day means so much to our family. We are incredibly grateful for Chianne, Skies The Limit Christian Academy, and the entire staff. They have been such a blessing to our family, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, supportive, and faith-filled daycare and preschool.

I love that they have a controlled entry system at the front door and cameras watching every area. Inside, the classrooms are large, bright, clean, and decked out with quality, developmentally appropriate furnishings and playthings. The outside areas are well-equipped and fenced. The employees are very friendly and made my son feel at ease immediately. The tuition is (what I believe to be) a bargain for such quality. I also appreciate that it is a peanut-free zone, since my son may have an allergy. A nice extra - they offer optional activities (with fees) such as soccer, dance, and music. I am thrilled to have found this place!

Nature's Childcare staff and the entire business made me feel very comfortable with going back to work. There is video monitoring in each room (not viewable from my work computer, which I actually prefer) so if there is an event, it can be reviewed. The center is secure and entire staff is well trained. The management are VERY aware of what is going on in each room and the communication between staff and parent is excellent. Each room has 'Teachers' and they actually teach, which I am always impressed with. I now have three children in Nature's Childcare and wouldn't dare go anywhere else for childcare. I wish every day care center was as impressive as this one! I can honestly say that I would not be back to work if it weren't for Nature's Childcare. Thank you! Thank you!

They send pictures and updates on how his day is going which makes being away from him a little bit easier. She is so amazing at making sure he gets plenty of naps, meals, and tummy time! I know he is thriving there and extremely well taken care of. The facility itself is clean, safe, and inviting. I recommend Montessori Academy to everyone I know!
