Great School! Both of my kids go to this school and we love the family atmosphere and education…read morethat they receive. This school offers a great option for preschool education at a fair price. Not knowing much about Montessori when we enrolled, we learned that the Montessori approach allowed our son to learn at his own pace building his self-confidence. The approach to learning language and math introduce concepts using sensorial materials that build on top of each other. Our son is now reading and does basic addition/subtraction all before the age of 5. We also like the balance that the school strikes between education and free play and how invested the teachers are in the development of the kids. Another thing we really like is that they great extracurricular programs such as soccer and dance onsite.

I would never recommend this daycare not even to my worst enemy! They are very nice and cordial…read morewhen you come and tour but do not fall for the trap! My son started to go here in November it was great at first but after 2 months everything started to go down hill fast. First my son started to not like going to the daycare which was odd because for the last 2 months he enjoyed it and out of no where he hated it . I started to peek behind the door 1-2 minutes before actually opening the door and one certain day the assistant teacher who is in different classrooms had her back turning to the door when all of sudden she slapped a little girl I instantly walked and told her why she had hit a child like that she started to justify herself then as I walk out I told front desk. A few days later the director calls me to justify the teacher and that was her way off taking something from her cheek !!! At this point I started looking for a new daycare it was difficult because I'm a single Parent and have to work during the week so Going to tours was hard and I hated being in the situation where i didn't have a new daycare picked out as I wanted to make sure my kids had a great place to go to and I had to complete a transfer with my agency who assists me. Fast forward my daughter starts the following week (she was enrolled before the incident) My daughter socks were consistently taken off after she had been sick after telling the teachers multiple times. My daughter's diaper rash was worse every time I picked her up and they claim it was me after having photographs that don't lie. I came at 11 am one day my son had no shirt or shoes on after the teacher claiming he had bit his shirt and was wet after my son having an extra shirt. My son had cough for over 2 months !! This explained why! My dad went to pick up my son and since they did not it was his grandpa as another parent was taking their child and my son wanted to leave them pushed him harshly .My son came home with a bruise under his arm on Friday which was there last day my children where there bth the assistant director and director denied me seeing the cameras after offering it on Friday and then when they found out about cps they did not allow me to see them both directors justified the teacher leaving a bruise and my son having no shoes or shirt by saying that I did not saying anything to the teacher only about the shoes lol when I did for both. All the teachers do not have any sort of certifications or degree to take care of young children the lack of empathy and the director justofying her staff and being negletful towards the children. My children were not allowed because I started a cps investigation they state I threatened them because I created a case . The pictures are of the directors who care more about the money than the children but they are prompt to send email about balance but not to Address issues or concerns of the parents. The daycare is dirty ! food definitely not healthy for the children. They have a pending lawsuit from another parent. The director called me extra for defending my child she and her assistant definitely should not be taking care of children Please listen to the reviews and don't bring your children here !!!

We enrolled our 3 month old in March of 2025 and have been consistently impressed with her care! As…read morefirst time parents, and with my husband coming from a family where daycares were not something they ever did/thought of doing, we were a bit nervous at first. That nervousness quickly went away. Stephanie, the primary teacher for her infant room, has been amazing as well as the other infant teachers (I am so bad with names, I'm sorry!!). The center regularly updates their app with what our little one has been doing and we get at least a daily picture of her; which always makes me smile when I'm at work. I really appreciate Stephanie and the whole LMNOP crew.

I started the MDO program as a sub and continued as a full time teacher. I noticed things that…read moreweren't right with the director and daughter. There is favoritism and discrimination. Policies were only enforced for certain teachers. Kids weren't moved up to next class according to their age. Either held back or very much advanced. There is no curriculum or teaching, just free play. I feel as if certain classes there aren't necessarily a safe environment for the children. Also not sanitary. We were never required to mop, clean toys. There's always bugs and rust on the floors and walls, food stuck as well. Very outdated, lots of broken toys. I feel as if the parents that have their children attending this program knew what really went on in the classrooms, they wouldn't have their child enrolled. I voiced many opinions about the conditions to the director and eventually was laid off because of personal differences. I was also called a liar and wasn't being taken seriously with my concerns. The church in the separate building is nothing like the MDO program. Its a very great fellowship with a wonderful pastor. Don't let the representation of the MDO program give you a bad opinion about the ACTUAL church.

Daycare review We've…read morehad such a wonderful experience at Xplor! Our son started here at just 12 weeks old, and we couldn't have asked for a more caring environment. Miss Marilynn,the principal, and Alice the VP are so compassionate and genuinely take the time to know every child and family, which really makes you feel like family. The infant room teachers--Dani, Danniette, Farzaneh, Yasmin, and Lexi--are all amazing. I 100% trust they are caring for our baby like one of their own! I am actually sad to be moving to the next room soon, however I am sure the new teachers will be just as great. We toured many schools before finally choosing Xplor, comparing different criteria ranging from safety, cost, staff..so far Xplor has not let us down looking forward to many more years here!

0 STAR REVEIW (My child started here at 7 months, and I…read moreswitched daycares at 15 months.. and I 100% should've done it sooner). Firstly, My daughter has been sick from this daycare since the start of going here. Multiple times a month she would bring something home, which isn't normal at all. I took her to the ER 6 times and she had been sick or gotten a terrible rash 15 times since she started. (A span of 8 months) my daughter had a yeast infection and it was almost fully healed when I dropped her off at daycare. When I picked her up her skin was peeling off and she had blisters. I had to start the process of healing all over again because of their negligence. I asked them to change her every hour and they didn't listen to me. When I asked about it they said they just "didn't log the times they changed her in between". I got calls up to 3 times a week every week because something was wrong, or I needed to come get her, or they would diagnose her with some illness that they're not authorized to even do. I went to the dr. Multiple times because of them not letting her come to daycare due to them self diagnosing her and not letting her come to daycare. On another note, I have picked my daughter up and many times where someone would tell me how they fed her their own personal food for lunch and how much she loved it. THINGS I DID NOT BRING OR AUTHORIZE ...SHARING THEIR FOOD OFF THEIR FORKS TO MY CHILD!!! I also picked her up one time and her teacher asked me if she was allergic to anything.. I said no, why? She continued to explain to me that she had just given my 13 month old a bite of her sonic strawberry milkshake, and didn't think about her being allergic to it until after she gave her a bite. The woman who runs the daycare (Samantha) would tell me how she shared her Chick-fil-A salad with her for lunch... another worker told me how much Scarlett loves pineapple, Olive Garden salad dressing, AND DONUTS. That right there in itself breaks so many codes that this place should honestly be shut down. They also sent her home very dirty every day. They NEVER wiped her face, even when she was sick so many times, I would pick her up with dried snot all over her face. When I had picked her up when they were playing outside she always had dirt all in her fingernails, all over her face.. she had been eating the dirt and sticking wood chips in her mouth. I asked about this and told them to please not let her eat the dirt and wood chips and her teacher replied by saying that "they give them snack outside and sometimes she drops it and picks up dirt and eats that instead." ... I wish I was making this up.. why are they giving toddlers snack outside? They could so easily choke on things so I'm not sure why they're standing up, outside eating their snacks while running around and playing. This daycare is also supposed to take photos everyday of your child, they won't. And when they do submit a photo of them 9 times out of 10 there's a teacher in the background, ignoring the toddlers, on their cellphones. I can't count how many times I picked my daughter up to see both teachers on their cell phones. She would come home everyday exhausted, and very unhappy, I thought it was just because she was tired.. nope. When she started at her new daycare I noticed she's the happiest I've ever seen her, and that lasts until bedtime.. at the other daycare I would pick her up and she was immediately in a terrible mood for the rest of the night. Unfortunately this makes me realize she wasn't treated right..I can't even imagine how she was being treated and I feel awful for sending her here. I've heard them yell at my baby for trying to get something off the counter, and I'm talking yelllll. I should've known to leave then and there but I just didn't and I deeply regret it. She would come home with scratches and bruises and bite marks EVERYDAY!! and apparently every time no one had known what had happened to her. Every time I tried to call or get in contact with the daycare they either didn't answer the phone or when they did it was clear they didn't want to be bothered. And I got the same treatment when and If I had a special request for her... i would be told they would do it for her and then find out they didn't do it at all. I'm really sorry for the long message but parents need to know this before deciding to send their kids to this daycare. It's filthy and the people who work there are negligent and breaks so many codes.. it might be the cheapest option but it's far from the best. We're at a daycare now that is so clean, feeds her three meals a day including snack, and I have access to all the cameras so I can view her at any time of the day now, and they are going to teach her sign language and Spanish. All for $60 more than apex. Please if you care about your babies, look into other options before sending them here.

Miss Aya is extremely giving, and nurturing.... Every time I go to her class, I see all the children are so peaceful, I have never heard any of the children cry... and they learnt so much. My daughter tells me that she misses her teacher over weekends, and that makes me feel so grateful. I have seen a big difference in her personality... She's happier and more confident due to the teacher she has who focuses on overall growth of the personality for the children.

if i could rate 0 i would I brought my son in for a "trial"…read moreday. I specifically asked to be notified if my son was having a hard time and wasn't. I text both directors within one hour of dropping him off asking how he was doing and received NO response. After a while i was set up on the parent app and sent a picture of my son "hugging" another kid with the caption "making friends". First red flag! My son will not just hug anyone infact he wouldn't know what to do if you asked him to do that so i was positive this was staged! According to the schedule, my son should have been in circle time, so I asked for a picture of him and circle time in which I received a picture of him from behind. Knowing my son I could tell from his past year, he wasn't happy even though I couldn't see his face so I asked to see a picture of his face and no one ever responded, this caused me to go to the school and pick him up. When I arrived, there was a lady that I had never met at the front desk. The doors were not locked. I just walked right in and as I'm walking past her, I told her I was going to check on my son and she said OK, there was no check for ID no lock on the door nothing! Upon arriving to my sons class I'm looking through the two way mirror for my son I couldn't find him. This was because he was at the bottom of the door crying. I open the door picked up my son and his eyes were almost swollen. Shut from crying. I asked the teacher how long he had been crying. She said for 30 minutes I asked why she didn't call me she said because she thought he would stop! This is crazy because I asked for them to call me if he was having a hard time and clearly they did not. Another issue is all of the teachers are foreign, and have heavy accents, so for a toddler to be placed in an unfamiliar environment with teachers who do not speak clear English isn't very comforting. This was my first time meeting the teachers because when I went for a tour, it was at 5 PM when they were getting ready to close so the teachers had left. So I proceed to pick up my son, take all of his belongings and walk out the door when I arrived home 20 minutes later, one of the directors which I text at 9:45 responded to my inquiry of how my son was doing by saying."HE IS DOING VERY GOOD MOMMY HE IS EATING LUNCH"! I then responded"He can't be eating lunch because I PICKED HIM UP 20 MINUTES AGO" she then responds with "you don't want him to eat lunch"? I responded with "WOW I PICKED HIM UP YOUR LYING" of course i got no response. BEWARE!!!! Directors are Kara and Mona! They present well but they're LIARS! Always trust your motherly instincts!
