We needed to put our son in daycare when I went back to work post-Covid, in August of 2021. In the…read moreyear and half we were enrolled at the school, they upped tuition twice. These were not small increases either, we are talking $100-200 per month. We were semi-ok with this at first because we just had one child at the school. Having a new baby and wanting to put him into the daycare with his older brother, the new prices were simply too much - almost double a mortgage payment! Comped with other daycares in the area, Parker Chase was almost $900 more than a local/private daycare right down the road! They offer no flexibility when it comes to tuition, despite there being highly accredited competition that is cheaper in the area. Because it is owned by a corporation (Endeavor Schools), the staff is unable to do anything about it, and all decisions run through corporate. Endeavor is a business, and trust me, they treat it as such, and money is the name of the game. It is truly sad that a company that is built on caring about young children operates this way. Although the tuition is very hefty, it is not reflected in the teachers' pay, as many of them work 2nd jobs to make ends meet. I guess the execs at corporate get a big portion of tuition rather than using it to retain teachers and staff. Which bring me to another issue with this school - the turnover! This school was once touted for its teacher and staff tenure, and in the past few months, many teachers that had worked there for years left. My son's class was without a lead teacher more than once in the year and a half we were there. Communication is not a strong suit here, and unfortunately, I had to find out about this from either another teacher or another parent. For the amount we paid for our child to go here, you would think a simple email or announcement could be made regarding who is caring for and looking after our son. Overall, the building is nice - glass windows in all the classes, a nice outside playground. The place continually seemed understaffed, and the teachers seemed overwhelmed. All the teachers my son had were caring and sweet, I just wish they were paid better considering all of the money the parents pay to put their children there. With the most recent tuition increase, many families left to find alternate childcare. I know the staff had concerns that even the waitlisted families wouldn't want to pay the newly inflated prices ($2000/month for an infant!!). It's a real shame that corporate backed a lot of families with young children into a corner as most daycares have waitlists, especially for two kids. Not to mention the fact that it is very disruptive for a little kid to have to switch schools and have to start over again with new teachers, children, and a new environment. My best advice- look elsewhere. Many of the parents in my son's class agreed that in the last year it has gone downhill, unsure if it's management, corporate or what. Privately owned childcare facilities seem to be the way to go - they truly care about the families and want the best for your kids. The executives at Endeavor seem to care about themselves, not the children, families or teachers that grow the business. One more thing to note - if you have to turn left out of the parking lot onto Johnson Ferry after dropping off or getting your child, be prepared to sit and wait for ten minutes or risk your lives trying to cut across several lanes of traffic. There is no stoplight at this intersection even though they are in dire need of one.

Reposting from my Google review:…read more A den of thieves. We started at VMS in Jan 2020, and in March 2020 we had to pull out our child because of COVID lockdowns. VMS asked us to continue paying, which we did, because we understood that it was a hard time for everyone. We did not attend during Fall 2020 and started back in January 2021. Everything was fine. Summer of 2021 we were told students would not be required to wear masks (a requirement for us to send our child, which they knew). About two weeks after school started they reversed this decision, so we got a medical exemption for our child, as did several other parents. About a week after receiving medical exemption, they decided to reverse this as well and revoked all medical exemptions, and yet still expect us to continue paying. We even appealed to the school but were met with ridicule and condescension. We have been literally laughed at and disregarded. This is a school of indoctrination not education. It is a school that teaches children to obey and not to question. If you are trying to find a private school because you're worried about the incompetency of our government and do not want to be forced to obey their arbitrary unscientific mandates and restrictions which are imposed on public schools, this is not the school for you and I highly recommend looking elsewhere.

The staff was super accommodating the day of our search, the next morning (when I enrolled her at 7am), and during her time there so far.

Another great plus is that they offer several extracurricular activities during the school day which is a big time saver for me and still allows my daughter the enrichment that these classes offer. Extra benefit: their school photos are really great!

After 2.5 years at TLA South, we decided to move our son to another daycare, and looking back, I…read morewish we had made the decision much sooner. The best thing this center has going for it is the new Director, Stephanie. Unfortunately, our experience with Executive Director Simmie (who also happens to be the daughter of the owners) was consistently disappointing. When we raised concerns, we often felt dismissed, and communication was poor. Instead of feeling like our concerns were heard or addressed, we left many conversations feeling frustrated. Another ongoing frustration was there was rarely anyone available at the front of the building during morning drop-off. When we first started attending, there was someone at the desk but toward the end there was never administration present in the morning. The teachers were tucked away in their rooms but no one in the front of the building - raising safety concerns. If parents had a question, concern, or needed to communicate something important about their child, there often wasn't anyone there to speak with. It gave the impression that parent communication was simply not a priority. One of our concerns was that the primary afternoon teacher had difficulty communicating with us in English. We found this challenging, especially when discussing our son's day and developmental progress. When we raised this concern, we did not feel it was taken seriously by Simmie. In contrast, Stephanie acknowledged that this communication barrier was a significant issue and recognized the impact it had on families. We appreciated that she listened and understood why it mattered. We also repeatedly asked for support with potty training and were told it would be addressed, but we never saw a consistent plan implemented. The classroom itself appeared to have a limited selection of older toys, and we saw very little evidence of structured educational activities or curriculum. Our son frequently came home with reports of scratches, hitting, and other incidents involving classmates. While occasional incidents happen in any daycare, the frequency became concerning to us and ultimately contributed to our decision to leave. The difference since changing schools has been remarkable. In just two weeks at his new center, our son has been happier, more engaged, and thriving. Every family's experience may be different, but based on ours, I encourage parents to thoroughly explore all of their childcare options before making a decision.
