This is cruel, this is hurtful & what you did was tell a vulnerable impressionable kid; they are not good enough but everyone else is. Life is absolutely not fair, but what this did today was single a KID out like a bully. You were a grown adult bullying a kid today it's disgusting. I purchased 4 out of the 8 seats at this event & I was truly disappointed!! I will never spend money here again & will be sure no family or friends will either. This is unacceptable practices. Responded via email & Facebook to give them an opportunity to even just apologize for this horrible form of bullying a child! No response is a response.

My friends and I drove over an hour to get there. I was not allowed in the park at first because I was told my boys goggles were "not allowed" (their goggles have the nose piece) while moments later, I legit watched a child get allowed in with the exact same pair? Make that make sense. While I walked back to the truck to put their goggles up, my friends went on paying/getting into the park. When I came back up to pay and enter, I was then told they were at "max capacity", and we were not allowed inside. No where on their site does it state anything about a max capacity either. I was sure to check all of these rules before we drove over an hour!!!!!!!! That inconsistency alone was frustrating when it doesn't state anything about outside goggles on their webpage, & only to be told moments later that we couldn't enter. There is no clear communication about rules or capacity before people are already there waiting and paying. It felt disorganized and unfair, especially after traveling that far. Overall, the experience felt poorly managed and not customer friendly at all. It's ok though cause my kids had more fun at Blue Bayou anyway!

moment you walk through the doors, you can feel the warmth, care, and love that fills the Academy. The staff goes above and beyond every single day--not only are they professional, CPR-certified, and highly trained, but they also treat every child like their own. The curriculum is engaging and hands-on, preparing children for kindergarten while still making learning exciting and fun. The activities are so creative--whether it's interactive play, field trips, splash pad fun, or even life lessons woven into daily routines, every day feels like a new adventure. As a parent, I also appreciate the peace of mind they provide. With keypad locks, safety protocols, healthy meals, and their private app for updates and pictures, I know my child is in the best hands. Sugar n Spice isn't just a childcare center--it's a family. They pour their hearts into everything they do, and it shows. I cannot recommend them enough for anyone looking for a safe, nurturing, and inspiring place for their child to grow and thrive! read more

His first day started with his teacher not welcoming him on HIS FIRTST DAY. He was uneasy about the new surrounds and she did absolutely nothing to comfort him and make him feel safe. I don't even think she looked at him crying on the floor. My mother picked him up from First Years about 2:15pm and saw a gash on his eye. She then proceeded to question the teacher on what happened. The teacher explained that one of the kids scratched his eye but it was an accident. My mother left the facility and immediately called me to let me know about the gash. I was highly upset because according to the office manager it's their policy to inform parents of injuries on the head and face. I examined the gash on his eye and came to the conclusion that my son was not going to return to the daycare. Not because of the gash but the fact that I was not informed about the incident and it being his first day and all. I called the office manager the next morning and explained what happened and that my son would not be attending the daycare anymore. The office manager later contacted me with details about the incident. She called it an investigation. According to her the teacher said she did not tell my mother that a child scratched his eye by accident but that she told my mother she just noticed it and he must have scratched himself when he was taking his nap. So they are calling my mother a liar. I wasn't informed about the gash because the teacher just noticed it, but it happened during his nap that lasted from 10:15am - 12:15am. My mother picked him up for 2:15pm. So this means according to their story the teacher didn't bother caring for my child for two hours to not have noticed a 1/2 inch gash on his eye. The director of course took up for her employees. I am so extremely happy I decided to take him out on this disgusting facility because of the continuous lies and the filthiness of the daycare. This daycare really STINKS. The odor was on my son's clothes that were immediately changed when he got home. The carpets are stained. The walls are disgusting. I would never recommend this daycare to anyone. Before I could exit out of this review the director called me and said the gash was under his eye. The gash is on his eyelid. This is just absolutely insane.

I never worry about whether she's being well cared for -- I know she truly is. The environment is always positive, nurturing, and structured, and it's clear how much thought and love goes into the care of each child. Laura, the owner, is absolutely wonderful -- warm, nurturing, and very communicative. She genuinely cares for my daughter as if she were her own, which means everything to me as a parent. One thing I really appreciate is that there is age-appropriate curriculum every day, even for the youngest babies. The daily activities, circle time, and learning themes are thoughtfully planned and focused on social-emotional development, which I love. Another huge plus is the communication. I receive photos and updates throughout the day, and I'm kept informed about everything -- from feedings and diaper changes to naps and activities, through the Brightwheel app. It makes me feel connected to my baby even when I'm at work. Blossom Family Nursery truly feels like a second home for my child. I am so grateful to have found such a high-quality, loving daycare and highly recommend it to any parent looking for exceptional care.
