IF YOU ARE A PARENT CONSIDERING ENROLLING YOUR KID HERE PLEASE READ !! I had to unenroll my daughter from this childcare facility on an emergency basis on 09/27/24. My daughter has been attending this facility since September 11th, 2023. Initially, everything was great - the teachers were nice and very understanding when I asked for daily updates on my daughter. I had some specific requests due to my daughter's severe eczema, such as applying lotion or cream and giving her albuterol if needed for exercise. However, over time, I noticed my daughter starting to have behavior reports, and I became concerned that she was being hit at school by a certain classmate. Whenever I raised this concern, it was discussed with her main teachers, but the response was always the same - everything was fine. Trusting that the daycare was handling the issue, I kept her enrolled. Recently, my daughter complained about a teacher, and when I expressed my concerns to the Director, I was told that the teacher was not with my daughter all day. However, I knew this wasn't true as I had seen the teacher in the room with my daughter when I picked her up the previous day. Since I made the report, my daughter started coming home more quietly and refused to talk about school. She even told me that she did not want to go to school, something she was always excited about. This was part of the reason I unenrolled her. The day before she was bitten badly by another student. When I asked to see the incident on the cameras, I was denied access. I understand there may be legal reasons for this, but as a concerned parent, I expected more transparency. Additionally, when I asked for the accident report, there was a long wait, and when I finally received it, it was not finished. The original report wrongly indicated that my daughter was the problem starter in the biting incident, which raised serious concerns about the school's safety and morals. I believe the facility needs to be thoroughly investigated. On 09/27/24, as we pulled into the school this day, my daughter asked me to pick her up and not put her down. This was very strange because she was usually excited to go to school. As we entered her classroom, she did not want me to put her down and clung to me. When I finally got her comfortable enough to sit down, she immediately noticed the student I had complained about and started whining and hiding as she was scared. I grabbed her things, explained the situation to the director, and asked to unenroll her immediately. I did not feel safe leaving her at the facility anymore. The director, Jackie, seemed very upset when I asked for all her records. When she handed me all my daughter's records, she made sure to let me know that "there were behavior reports in there as well". If you are considering this center, please be cautious!

After calling twice to confirm availability for my son, I advised the gentleman who answered my calls I only need 3 days he quoted me and assured me there was availability I made plans to pick up an enrollment packet I show up and a woman in a revealing top usually I don't care but I'm not talking bra straps are showing it was more .. she shows up after 10 minutes and a call to the office. I explain why I am there she tells me she doesn't know what I'm talking about. that infants thru 5 years of age are specifically full time only.. I asked for the male who answered my calls she said yes he's there but no I got misinformed 2x. They do coincidentally have signs with very detailed instructions on how to get government assistance for daycare. Seems to me like they just push full time in an effort to get that money . read more

When school re-opened under new management, it was great! I was at ease and trusted the preschool. Once they were able to fill the spots, it got out of control; children were constantly under the care of YouTube. My daughter picked up horrible habits. Kids always fighting and no adult to correct it the issue. read more

Approximately a year ago, we enrolled our daughter in this daycare facility. Initially, the experience was wonderful. The teachers had a well-structured routine for the children, and Jackie, the director, was exceptionally adept at her role. However, in the past six months, there has been a noticeable shift. Regrettably, Jackie, the director, has been less present in the office lately, and in her absence, Skylar has stepped in to assume some responsibilities. Since then, my wife and I have observed a high turnover rate among teachers, with some not showing up at all. In the same period, we've noticed a decline in our daughter's behavior during her time here. The teachers and staff attribute this to the integration of children from younger classrooms. When we inquire about the daily routine, it's become apparent that maintaining one has become a challenge due to the constant shuffling of staff and shortages. We've received numerous calls regarding our daughter's behavior, even requesting us to pick her up on occasion, as they've expressed difficulty in managing her. It's important to note that at home, we have no such issues with her; it seems to be unique to her experience at this daycare. One morning, while my wife was dropping off our daughter, my 13-year-old son was also in the car. We witnessed a parent berating her child in the parking lot, using profanities, and demanding that he board the bus. The child hesitated, expressing reluctance. The parent went so far as to threaten involving the authorities with this young child, all in plain view of my son. Skylar, who was standing in for the absent director, intervened, but unfortunately, her involvement only exacerbated the situation. It reached a point where even my 13-year-old son felt compelled to speak up, saying, 'Mom, this isn't right.' If this is representative of how Skylar manages the daycare in the absence of Jackie, it's hardly surprising that teachers are leaving, and attendance has become inconsistent. Finally, on 10/13/2023, we received yet another call from Skylar, insisting we pick up our daughter. My wife explained that while we would do so as soon as we can, but we can't keep leaving work at a moment's notice. Upon my wife's arrival at the daycare, she discovered that our daughter's belongings were already packed, as though we were being abruptly dismissed from the facility. When my wife attempted to locate Skylar for clarification, she was nowhere to be found. Instead, she was informed that Skylar had dropped off her radio in the front office and departed for the day. Such behavior strikes me as highly unprofessional and immature. Leading up to this, threats were made to suspend my 3-year-old from the daycare for 2 days. On multiple occasions we were told our daughter was biting and pinching other children, but when we would pick her up, she would have bite mark bruises and marks on her body indicating other children were biting and pinching her. When we addressed it with the teacher, the teacher agreed saying she isnt the only student doing it. I want to make it clear that I am not making excuses for my 3-year-old daughter's behavior. It's become evident that she picked up these habits from the lack of structure in her daycare over the past six months. It's disheartening to find ourselves facing expulsion over behavior that was essentially overlooked by the staff. I would only consider using this daycare as a last resort for placing your child. The staff have little to no training, and do not know how to handle children. read more

Peoria Ave Preschool - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

My son has been in a few daycares since he was 6 months. I must say this is the first one he has not been consistently sick while attending. This is because the staff are constantly cleaning and disinfecting. This is definitely one of things I look for when placing my child somewhere. On top of that my son has learned a lot in a short period of time and he also came home and said he loves his school. That just confirms his teachers and the rest of the staff are all awesome!!!!! read more

My daughter loves this daycare and loves all the teachers especially ms.stephine. they help out so much here so glad that the teachers and staff are so caring with the children and parents. read more

the place is clean, the staff is amazing, my children love attending this preschool. their website has the information I needed when I first enrolled my children and was easy to navigate. I feel safe when I drop my children off and if my child has an accident I am notified by phone and a letter sent home such as an ouch report. The two year old room helps with potty training and still maintains a clean facility. my children love attending daycare especially with the fun activities they plan with the children and when my older children attend after school they help them with their homework. Peoria Ave Preschool really is amazing kudos to Miss Annette and Miss Heidi for hiring such amazing staff. read more

Amazing school with great teachers! The owner Annette is very nice. My kids love this preschool!!!

I don't like that my son gets a bad boy note every week because he is a 4year old and he isn't even a bad kid! I've asked and asked of ways to fix the problem to management and there was no resolution. The teacher just doesn't like my kid she just has her favorite kids! All the rest of the kids get bad boy notes. The manager s are nice but don't fix the problem! And I get bad boy notes at least 2 times a week because my son doesn't naps. I pay to have them watch my kid and all they do is complain about watching my kid. I wish we could just fix the problem but they refuse. U can only keep a kid quite for so long... All you have to do is do your job and watch kids and try to teach them something. My son had never gotten a bad note till he went to the 4s class. Its just getting ridiculous at this point! read more

This school is amazing. My son has been attending since he was 3 and my daughter since she was 1. They are now 4 and 2 years old. Every teacher knows them byname including the owner, which means its not just their own teacher that cares or pays them attention. My kids come back with artowrk everyday and a story to tell. I actually love that the school allows the school agers who attend before and after school care to be around the younger kids, because my kids LOVE IT!They learn so much because all kids look up to "school agers" as my kids call them. My son was attending the school at first and I stayed at home with my daughter, one day as I was dropping him off the owner goes "what do you do with her all day" I stated I stay home with her since I work nights, on the spot I was offered to put her on a full paid scholarship, which she has been on since she was 1, later that year they offered to put my son on. I now have two kids going to a GREAT daycare full time- for free becasue they cared and wanted my daughter to be in there, they could have given it to any other child but chose my family. I also love that they do Karate for 3yr olds and up and also gym class and music class which comes out to be an extra $10 / a week. its great! read more
