A Truly Special Daycare - A Blessing for Our Family…read more Our two children (ages 2 and 4) have been attending Mrs. Kiza's daycare for some time now, and we can honestly say she has been a true blessing to our family. From the moment we met her, it was clear how deeply she cares for each child. Our son began with limited speech, and within just a few months under Mrs. Kiza's care and encouragement, he was speaking with confidence. Our daughter has flourished as well--family and friends are constantly amazed by her vocabulary and how expressive she is for her age. One of the biggest signs of how much our kids love being there? The daily struggle at pickup time! They never want to leave, often kicking and screaming because they've had such a great day. Even at home, they can't stop talking about Mrs. Kiza and their experiences at daycare. Before finding her, we had tried a larger daycare, but it was a completely different experience. Our son was often sick and didn't receive the attention he needed--he was just a number. With Mrs. Kiza, every child is loved and seen. She even checks in after hours or when the kids miss a day to make sure they're doing okay. That kind of care and thoughtfulness is rare. As a mom with high anxiety, it means the world to me to have someone I trust so completely. Mrs. Kiza puts my mind at ease every day. If your kids don't want to leave at pickup time, that's the best sign that something truly special is happening. She is a Godsend and loves our babies just like we do.

My review is specifically being written for awareness towards current families also future families…read moreconsidering ABC Learning Childcare. Perspective: My children were enrolled a total of 9 months. During which time COVID policy did not allow for parents to shadow or understand how a typical day is run through free play, instruction and curriculum. This policy had always upset me considering my oldest is 2 and youngest 5+ months during the time of enrollment. I will separate my personal opinion and a more constructive business oriented review to ensure as much transparency as possible. Personal Review: Specific to the general well being and care for my children, Mrs. Kiza treated my daughters with love respect. Business Review: For the first initial 3-4 months I did not worry about the health and safety of my children. However it was not until about the 4 month mark when things started to change. We were notified about my youngest daughter having sweaty palms - to which Mrs. Kiza inferred it is related to a heart condition and that we should have her checked by her pediatrician. In my opinion, this should never have been said let alone warranted. It's not like she is a doctor. Another setback seemed to be a repetitive theme of negativity when mom and dad were picking up children from school and Mrs. Kiza seemed to focus on bad behaviors rather then providing even some small wins throughout the day. It just seemed negative. We understand that the toddler stage is rough, and I'm not naive to think my kids are any different. However, small wins and positivity can go much further then focusing on the negatives. I was also highly discouraged when I discovered much older children were also present and parents were not given awareness or notified on the possibility of older and younger children being social with one another. My perspective for this is that 5-6grader (boys) should not be near a two year old or younger for that matter. We were told that the two co-horts were separated, however I will never know for certain. Lastly, and most importantly, for which I'm writing this review; ABC Learning is in breach of contract. At anytime, current parents while thinking they have childcare service secured, could be terminated at a moments notice. We were given 10 days notice that we were being asked to find alternative means of childcare. We asked if it was health related or behavioral and we were told that it was neither. Therefore, this was a PERSONAL decision made by Mrs. Kiza which affected my family, and as a result the need to write my review. I hope to bring awareness for the other families to consider since red flags like this is important to understand context especially when children are being displaced and impacted. Please consider this as an for example for potential families looking to explore childcare services provided by ABC Childcare.

Communication is great, and it's clear they take pride in maintaining a clean, structured, and nurturing space. I couldn't ask for a better place for my daughter. Trueheart's is everything you hope for in a daycare and more--we are so grateful to be part of their community!

The daycare is well ran, Christian based and educational. I first meet Ms Tyrenai when my now 16 year old daughter was little and attended a public daycare and Ms Tyrenai was one of the main teachers. We loved her then, she has since opened up her own daycare and my 18 month old daughter has been with her for the last year. My child is cared for and she looks forward to daycare (my toddler calls it school)and she isn't in a hurry to leave when I pick her up. Truly a blessing to have someone love, care and teach the children the way she does.

We have been to different daycares in the past and there is just no comparison. Other places I've been to are ran like businesses with no personal touch just 9 to 5 workers who honestly didn't care about my kids. Teddy's Daycare has been extremely consistent. The staff here, Ms. Iris and Mr. Daniel, are so loving that in a short time they become family. They communicate with me CONSTANTLY. Allowing me to know the progress of my children, from learning their A B C's, to how they socialize with other kids, to the goofy things that they do. Even while I'm at work they have an app where they upload pictures and videos so you know how their day is going. They are extremely personal and provide attentive care in an active learning environment. From gardening, to petting zoos, to water play during the hot summer days, options for music lessons, the list is endless. They even provide a "Date Night" for the parents where they watch your kids...for FREE so my wife and I can enjoy a nice dinner or movie with just the 2 of us every once in awhile. I mean, what daycare does that? We just had our 3rd child and we are looking forward to the day he will become a member of Teddy's Daycare family. Thank you guys for ALL that you do for us!

Everything is tidy, organized, and thoughtfully set up to make the children feel comfortable and engaged. Mrs. Iris and Mr. Daniel are truly the highlight, as they have such upbeat, positive personalities that instantly make both kids and parents feel welcome. Their energy is contagious, and you can tell they genuinely love what they do. My child always looked forward to seeing them each day, and it gave me so much peace knowing they were surrounded by such caring and enthusiastic people. If you're looking for a home daycare that combines professionalism with a cozy, family-like environment, and a team that brings joy to every day then this is absolutely the place. Highly recommend!

She came home every single day full of joy, with so many stories about her adventures. She even felt sad on weekends because she couldn't see Tammy! During her time there, she not only learned how to socialize and make friends but also picked up valuable manners and essential safety skills like how to cross the street properly. Kids are encouraged to get messy, explore water and mud, and have a blast and yet Tammy always makes sure they go home clean. Tammy herself is incredible. When we had an earthquake, she texted me to let me know all the kids were safe before I even had the chance to ask. That's just who she is; she genuinely cares, not only about the children but also about the parents who trust her with their little ones. She keeps everyone informed and uses an app to share photos and updates throughout the day. I found myself checking it constantly because I loved seeing my daughter smiling, playing, and staying so engaged. When it was finally time for "big girl school," I cried because of the impact she had on our family and wishing I could keep my daughter there longer where I knew she was cared about, safe and thriving. I am forever grateful and cannot say enough wonderful things about her program. The price is more than reasonable compared to other places, and the value is unmatched. Here, curiosity and imagination are truly nurtured. Honestly, stop searching! This is the place. You won't regret it. Thank you, Tammy, for everything!

Her understanding and passion of early childhood development is reflected in her impressive prior career experience and her mentorship of undergraduate students. During my son's time there she would tell us about the continued education classes she would take to learn the most out to date information about childhood development I can't thank Ms. Tammy enough for getting my son ready for TK. I write this about 4 months after our last day with her. I noticed that he's not just academically ready but also balanced with the social skills gained from his time with her. Teacher Tammy was able to help us understand the needs of my slow to warm kid who had an extremely difficult time adjusting to drop off. He is now the kid at drop off who walks in with confidence, excited to learn, and be a good friend. He talks about her often and is looking forward to visiting to say hi and give her an update on his life at TK! We are extremely grateful to have had Ms. Tammy as our son's first teacher. I know my son will deeply cherish all the memories of his time there. Thanks again for everything Ms. Tammy.

From the very beginning, they each went above and beyond to create a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment where he could grow in confidence and curiosity. Their thoughtful balance of academics and play, along with their constant communication with parents, gave us such peace of mind. Every day, we felt connected to what our child was learning and experiencing. We especially appreciated how genuinely they cared for him--not just as a student, but as a person. Though we eventually moved our son to a preschool closer to home for convenience, Discovery Isle will always hold a special place in our hearts. The warmth, professionalism, and dedication of Ms. Tuesday, Ms. Esther, and Ms. Tonia made our experience here truly exceptional, and we'll always be grateful for the positive impact they had on our son's early education journey.

The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to support learning through play, creativity, and social development. We recently switched daycares, and the difference with drop-offs and pick-ups has been night and day! He walks in happily and is not upset when I pick him up nor is he in a rush to leave at the end of the day -- a clear sign that he feels safe, engaged, and cared for. A special thank you to Ms. Esther and Ms. Tuesday, who have been truly amazing. They are both incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. It's clear they genuinely care about each child's growth and well-being. My toddler always has a smile when he sees them, which speaks volumes about the warm and nurturing environment they've created. We feel confident and grateful knowing our little one is in such good hands. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a daycare that combines excellent education with compassionate care.

I wasn't planning on leaving a review because I wanted to move on after the experience my son had…read moreat this daycare a couple of years ago. However, I feel other parents deserve to know why we decided to remove him. Our experience was extremely disappointing. On multiple occasions, my son was constantly getting injured and one time he had a bump on his head. When I asked the staff about what had happened, no one was able to give me an explanation or seemed to know how the injuries occurred. There was only two teachers for what looked like 20 2-3 year olds. I also had concerns about the communication regarding his meals. The daycare app frequently showed that he had eaten all of his food, yet he was consistently starving when I picked him up. I eventually started packing extra food because he was always so hungry. On one occasion, a staff member told me he hadn't eaten his lunch, even though the app had been marked that he had eaten it, which made me question the accuracy of the information being provided. Another concern was the cameras. They often seemed to be unavailable or not working when I wanted to check in. On one occasion when I was able to access the camera, I saw my son sitting alone in a corner crying, and no one appeared to be comforting or attending to him. As a parent, that was heartbreaking to see. Every parent's experience may be different, but based on what my family went through, I could no longer trust that my son was receiving the care and supervision he deserved. Removing him from this daycare was one of the best decisions we made.
