Our son was in Harmony's full-time care for several months. During that time, there were a few incidents that raised concerns, which we initially attributed to the normal learning curve of having our baby in childcare for the first time. However, one incident ultimately made it clear that we could no longer trust this facility with our child's care, and we withdrew him immediately. The incident raised serious concerns for us around judgment and communication. After withdrawing our son, Harmony refused to refund our deposit or any portion of the remaining tuition for the month. We took the matter to small claims court, where we won our case. This judgment was issued in October 2025, and as of today, she has still not paid the court-ordered amount. I debated whether to share our experience publicly, but I'm sharing this solely to document our experience and help other families make an informed decision. While Harmony presents herself in a certain way professionally, our personal experience was very, very different. She made comments to us that were completely inappropriate and unprofessional. I know how difficult it is to find childcare in this area, but based on our experience, I strongly encourage families to carefully consider other options before choosing Daisy Trails Forest Preschool.

To Prospective Indigo Parent/s, We had the pleasure of…read moreenrolling our three year old daughter in Indigo Preschool and feel that the very least that we can do to show our appreciation for Ms. Peggy and her learning center is to write the following referral. We have been blessed to have her in our family's lives. If you are taking the time to find and research potential preschools for your child or children, like us, you are likely looking for a difficult to find combination of education, creativity, and a loving atmosphere. Our children are often going to spend a large portion of time at the preschool we choose to place them. Since there are many views and opinions on how to raise children, it is important to match the school you choose with your values as a parent. We (Parents of an Indigo Child) hope the following helps you to decide if Indigo is a match for you and your child. Setting, in our opinion, is extremely important and was almost enough in itself to sell us on Indigo. Located in Verdi, NV and facing the western mountain with no obstruction, Indigo is a world away from the confines of the city. Within this setting is a lovingly and painstakingly created space that Ms. Peggy and Mr. Peggy () built themselves. Huge floor to ceiling windows flood the space with light and remind the kids that they are surrounded by nature. Indigo is always spotless and inviting. Everything is centered around the preschoolers from dish cupboards at their height to the library of books to the great room full of creativity driven toys, costumes, and art supplies. As an adult, you wish you were 4 years old again going to school! This is a loving atmosphere. Our three year old comes home every day with at least one art project, usually more, and her work with writing her name, numbers, and tracing letters. However, the school also has four and five year olds and we see their work hanging on the board showing age appropriate, and often more advanced, tasks. One of our child's parents is a kindergarten teacher and we can tell you with certainty that Ms. Peggy is not just going through the motions. She is creating lesson plans and catering to each one of the different ages and personalities with great results. In fact, she has made better progress with our child's writing and her fine motor skills than we have! As we drive down the street she calls out the letters on signs and has even started to sound words out on occasion. Indigo is definitely a space for education. Whenever we walk in to pick up our child the kids are always playing creatively and it takes a good bit of convincing to coax our child into the car. The kids are not being forced to be creative; however, Ms. Peggy surrounds them with creative toys and space. For example, Indigo has a walk-in closet full of costumes, hats, wigs, and props where the kids can play out any scenario they want in the play room that is filled with wood trains, cars, foods, kitchen, tracks, roads, and on and on. They can create and play however their imaginations desire, we wish we would have had this space as children. We almost forgot the baskets, tubs, and drawers filled with crafting and painting materials where the kids can engage at will in-between structured learning and eating times. After a day with five kids playing with all of the above we are amazed every morning that all is back in place as though a kid-hurricane did not pass through the day before. Ms. Peggy has endless energy and a palpable passion for creative playing and learning at Indigo. Finally, we take great effort to feed our child with organic and non-GMO foods and thankfully, so does Ms. Peggy. We are relieved to not have to pack a special lunch for her everyday and that she can sit and eat with all the other kids without us worrying over her diet. On the ride home we ask her what she had eaten and it is always a healthy mix of fruits, vegetables, starches, and proteins that we seem to fail getting her to eat at home. Well played Ms. Peggy! On warm days there is a space to eat outside in her beautifully built playground. Healthy food and hours outside in nature, yes please. While we could go on for pages, there is really nothing that could be said that would paint the whole picture. You need to go to Indigo Preschool and see the space and meet Ms. Peggy for yourself. After meeting with many people and facilities we knew on the spot that this was the place four our daughter and looked no further. We hope you take the opportunity to talk with Ms. Peggy and decide if she and Indigo is right for you and your child. Thank you for reading and maybe we will see you when school starts back up!

At first I was attracted to the early socialization of my daughter with other children and quickly found great value in Laureen's parenting classes each week. Her depth of knowledge on a wide range of topics was appreciated as well as her openness to whatever questions were rising up. I also loved that my child had a chance to learn to socialize without me in a safe environment where I was still in the building and it was a welcomed relief to get out of the house especially in winter. Most of all on top of all this was the introduction and nurturing of a connected and caring community that are invested in raising healthy kids in a healthy home environment and accepting all the messiness of how it looks like on a day to day basis. If you can't tell already, I LOVE TCF! And I am so glad my second child is now enjoying the community and services as well.

4 months into my son's attendance here, the behavior of Conecta's owner, Abbie, and Codirector,…read moreSimone, towards us was abhorrent. I would give the actual teachers here (Alicia, Dora, & James) 5 stars... Sadly, I don't expect them to last very long due to the seriously flawed management issues & treatment of kids & their families. Below is as close to an objective description of what we experienced - & the many potentially lawsuit-related red flags raised - as I can provide: My child (two-year-old boy) started in Sept 2021 (3 days/week, from 9:30am-4:15pm). B/c we had to move twice in 2021, he had previously attended 2 other schools, and not only had 0 issues there, but his teachers were very upset when he left b/c they loved him. Also note that these schools had many more students - but the same # of teachers - as Conecta. 1st red flag, during enrollment: The several page long document of very, very specific items the school insists the kids attend with - Bento lunch boxes only - specific brands for raingear, like Tuffo, etc. Child has to provide ALL of their everyday supplies - pencils, coloring, Band-Aids, etc. - in addition to paying tuition. Strange. Still, I go along with all of it b/c we have very few schools in the area & you sit on a waitlist until you can get in. 2nd red flag, first few weeks - COVID policy: Owner of school announces that, if a child exhibits any symptoms, such as a runny nose, County is requiring negative PCR tests (only) and several weeks of quarantine before kids can return to school. I check with the county...this is untrue. So why lie? Just say that's the school's policy - you don't need it to come from the County. Owner either misunderstood the County or doesn't understand what's legally advisable in terms of policies & communication with families. Still, so that my son can continue to attend a school, I hope that it's the former & try not to raise a fuss. Sept - Jan: Reports that I receive from my son's teacher, Alicia, as well as the Codirector, Simone, indicate that he is doing really well re: developing social skills, talking, playing with other kids, singing, engaging in imaginary play, self-entertaining, etc. He & his teacher appear to really like each other. My son seems to love it there - runs in with excitement to play, etc. Mid-Jan: School owner Abbie informs me that a full-time spot has opened up & would my son like to take it & start attending full-time. Truth was evidently that she needed to switch everyone to a full-time-basis only, I assume for financial reasons (but, again, why lie?). While I would love for him to attend full-time, we cannot afford it. This is when our trouble (& the harassment) begins... Abbie and Simone begin to send send me constant messages on a daily basis indicating that they cannot have any of the children opting out of nap time (note: from what I can tell, every school has a number of kids giving up naps around his age & they just provide them with another "restful activity" during that time), so they force my son to nap. He is described as very upset by this - "inconsolable," in fact - and can I come pick him up? I get there... he's asleep. Suspicious. They talk about going so far as to consult a school psychologist about the situation (really?!). They demand sleep consultant intervention. They tell me that he is too attached to his teacher, so they need to work on that - they appear to institute a policy of separating he & his teacher when he seeks out her attention. He reportedly gets upset by this & that's a problem. They ask if, instead, he can start attending 5 days/week from morning until 1pm (vs part-time status, 3 full days/week), then, less than one month later, they inform me that that's no longer an option b/c they took in more students in the meantime & so his only option is to attend three days/week until 1pm...but I'll actually need to pay the full-time tuition rate. Hmm... Turns out all of this was because - although they did not directly inform me of it until much later - owner decided to switch school to a full-time-attendance-only policy (I assume for financial reasons). Evidence came in the form of an email from the owner one month after we withdrew from the school: "Conecta does not have half days anymore. Each spot is worth an amount. We offered a full-time spot and it was not taken by you, so it was filled... His spot, which was full day, had to be paid as full day." I also assume that, b/c I'm an attorney, they thought I might try to sue if they were honest about this, so, instead, they appeared to go for a 'means-to-an-end approach' & make things as difficult as possible for us until we had no choice but to withdraw. This is simply cruel towards kids and reflects very poor management policies. I have no idea if my child was actually ever truly problematic for them or if this was just an excuse to get us to withdraw so that they could fill his spot with someone who paid more $$$$ each month. Terrible.

My 3-4 year old started @ Conecta on 4/2020 and stayed until 8/2021. This was a pretty challenging…read moreand abnormal time during Covid. One teacher call out from Conecta was Teacher Joe, who stood by the school when it went through a major turmoil where 3 other teachers along with almost all students left around April time. He helped rebuild the program and the new team while the owner was dealing with her own issues. My daughter learned, matured over the course of the year there with teacher Joe. She learned to be independent, and picked herself up when she fell. She played hard and really thrived there under teacher Joe. Overall, I give all the credit to Mr. Joe for this, reason being there has been enough evidence that I think I should share with the public about the lack of support, leadership, presence of the actual owner of the school, which created a lot of negativity for parents, teachers (some left). I think the one negative aspect of the school was that during Covid, the owner put a lot of parents in a bind by forcing whole year contract agreements, and did it in a way that left a lot of parents with a sour taste. Unlike other schools, you would pay no matter what for the whole year. She didn't prorate her charges and didn't let people off their contracts when they needed it. I'm not sure if the school will continue to be a great place given the issues at the management / owner level, but I will say I was lucky to have met some nice teachers along the way that really tried.
