    I'm a first time Mother and I have not spent one day away from my daughter since she was born. Part…read moreof that is my family is about 45 minutes from me, and the other is I never want to be away from her. I'm extremely hands on with her and I don't mind that at all. I heard about Kids Park from Moms in a group I'm in on Facebook, and Heather offered the group a waived registration fee so I finally took my daughter. My husband and I walked in and immediately I knew she'd be fine. There were TONS of toys for her to play with, a play area with a slide (I knew they'd never get her off of that lol), and more. They put her name on her back before I even finished the paperwork and let her in. Right away, they took all the pre-schoolers into a room to dance to The Wiggles and I will admit, I had tears in my eyes knowing my baby was getting bigger. While they had the preschoolers dancing, they had the older kids doing other things but they were careful that my daughter was never hurt or bothered by them. They didn't even start the clock until I handed the paperwork back. My daughter was never left alone (far as I saw) and we walked out. We stayed in the shopping area the entire hour, mostly because we had nothing else to do lol. When we came back, they were carrying her out of the snack area and they said she just wasn't eating so they were bringing her back out to play. Once they handed her to us we smelled that she needed her diaper changed. I asked if I could step back and do it and instead they took care of her for me! I was a little confused as to why they didn't change her (You could definitely smell that she needed it) but I figured if it just happened how would they have known? Everyone was so nice and understanding, saying they were used to seeing Moms as emotional as me and it was "harder on the Moms than the kids to say goodbye". I'll be bringing her back soon, and I think it'll be great for her. I am not putting her in the preschool program though simply because what they're going over, shes already too advanced for it.

    My daughter absolutely loves going to KidsPark! I love it too because It's so affordable compared…read moreto other childcare options. The drop-in process is incredibly convenient. I can run errands or go to appointments without stressing about finding a sitter. The staff is honestly the best part. Every single person there is so sweet, kind, and genuinely caring. When my daughter has a hard time at drop-off, they always greet her with a big smile and know exactly how to help her calm down and feel safe. I never worry when she's there because I know she's in loving hands. They also do so many fun activities with the kids, arts and crafts, games, story time, and even themed projects. My daughter comes home excited to show me what she made. She always has paint or glitter somewhere on her, which honestly just proves how hands-on and creative the center is. The place is always clean, organized, and bright, and you can tell they put real effort into making it a fun, safe space for the kids. She leaves happy every single time. If you're looking for flexible, affordable, trustworthy childcare, I can't recommend KidsPark enough. We're so grateful for them!

    It's so funny leaving this review 20 years later. I went to CU from PreK-1st grade. It's a part of…read moremy childhood I hold onto fondly. I was a student when the giant treehouse was built. I don't want to be a teacher but if I were I'd want to be like the ones who shaped my time here. It makes me tear up thinking about all I experienced from meeting famous authors, starring in musicals, tipping in my Halloween costume on the yellow brick road, and that one time I refused to color in my connect the dots assignments and it was sent home with a note (my mom later framed it). Arlington is already diverse but it was good to see all the different backgrounds my friends were. If you're wondering if your kids will value going here, I am certain they will remember it fondly as CU fostered my love for reading, adventure, and friendship.

    We made the tough decision to transfer our daughter to Children's University to be closer to home…read more I couldn't be happier with the decision. The greatest compliment has been my child saying about her old school, "I'm not returning because I love CU." (Talk about music to our ears when she said that.) CU is a warm, family-oriented environment that caters to the individual child. It provides the academic rigor vital for us, along with a host of enrichment opportunities from robotics and animal husbandry to chess and cheer. During our exploration, what sealed the deal was what we witnessed during our CU tour. We passed a group of children (who appeared close in age to my child) working on a group project in the library. They were discussing their different perspectives and had books that they were referencing. While we knew nothing about the project, I was impressed by how immersed they were in the work, and all appeared to be thoroughly enjoying the educational experience. So many vital skills were underway without them knowing it, which filled us with optimism about our child's future development at CU. Our family couldn't be happier to be part of the CU family. Our daughter is thriving; she has the best, most wonderful teacher. It's a true partnership, and we're beyond grateful. If you're looking for a program for your child, I recommend CU. It's a blend of academic excellence with a curriculum that challenges and inspires, enveloped in the most attentive environment dedicated to helping your child reach their fullest potential.

    Do not send your child here. On the first day they didn't…read moreeven know who my child was and put her in a class of 3 year olds. When I said something about the end of day report app the director said they do t use it for 3 year olds. I said well she is 2.... The two year old class was clearly too full. The infant class smells terrible. The floor and walls are sticky and drawn on. Director is not welcoming and seems in a rush or irritated by parent interactions with her. Lastly they let someone take my child from the school without checking her Id or if she was even on the list. All of this happened in 3 days. This place is cheap and unorganized. I wish I could get my money back but Tonya hasn't called me back. I want to report this negligence to the state as well on Monday. BEWARE!!!

    Key points from my review…read more * Staff is disrespectful to other teachers, parents, and students. I was told Ms. Scales does not know how to run a classroom by the "principal", when I have first hand experience that proves otherwise. * There are only 03 grade levels (Kinder, 1st, and 2nd), but the school tries to keep your money by magically accommodating other grade levels. In other words, the school has "3rd" and "4th" grade students mixed with second graders with a teacher who is not equipped or certified to teach such. Parents should realize the severe setback that can cause for their children. * The school advertises small class sizes, but has 28 in one kindergarten class. * The teachers will dismiss students disrupting the class and will send them to another class (preschool) or make you pick them up. They will refuse to teach your child. * There is a security system that is often times not working, with no one in the office or checking Ids, you are often left with anyone having access to take your child. * I was put in a predicament where we found my six-year-old was left roaming the halls unattended for over 15 minutes. She could have walked out at any point. * On google, many of the positive reviews were "paid" for through raffles of game consoles and free week of tuition. * The staff will physically pick up and move your children even though the "principal" admitted the state will not allow them to touch your children any longer. I would never trust anything any employee here has to say to me. This facility is short staffed and runs sufficiently in clicks and lies. I genuinely believe your child will experience a complete mental setback if you were to send them here. I have since had my daughter at a new school and it has been amazing. There are other options in the area that consistently communicate, are positive, certified, and structured. For the money you pay for this daycare facility, it is not at all worth it. Put your money elsewhere or you will also be paying for therapy. Because unfortunately, all that you have read is only a snip-it of the dissatisfaction and frustration my family has endured. My original review is 1800 words that still could not fully explain how this daycare facility will fail your child. My daughter has blossomed since leaving this school.
