Update on Business Owner's reply:…read more Hi Arun, Thank you for your response. When you said "Unfortunately sometimes children run and get hurt", I need to clarify that this was not a simple unfortunate accident. My 2 -year old child didn't injured from just running, he was pushed by another child. The result was not a minor hurt, but a very deep cut that you could almost see the tissue in his forehead, requiring 9 stitches and leaving a permanent scar on his face! When your staff met with me and my husband, we were not provided with any proof demonstrating that proper supervision was in place at the time. On top of that, when we asked how can a 2 year old push another 2 year old inside the classroom hard enough to require nine stitches, Ms. Ash responded, she knew because it has happened with another child in a different classroom. Which is deeply concerning. If management was already aware of such incidents, what corrective actions were implemented to prevent recurrence? Furthermore, prior to this incident, my son got scratches in his face because a friend pushed him and he fell. This raises serious concerns about supervision. "If a similar push had already occurred, how could a repeated push happen that resulted in such a traumatic injury? When you saying safety is your number #1 priority, being pushed hard enough to cause this type of injury is not just typical play, it indicates a lapse in managing the situation before it escalated. Ensuring children safety requires more than general statements, it requires accountability and proactive supervision to prevent foreseeable harm. Original review: I wish I never had to leave this review! After touring several centers, we chose this daycare because the staff seemed really nice and kind, and the facility was clean. As working parents, we always try to find the safest place for our kids, and I truly believed my son would be safe here. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Our 2-year-old suffered a serious injury while in their care and needed nine stitches on his forehead. Since that day, our lives have been turned upside down. He got so traumatized that he is now fearful of everything and becomes extremely distressed around doctors and nurses. Every time I look at his face, the big scar on his tiny forehead brings me so much pain! No parent or child should ever have to go through something like this! Not only that, in addition to frequent incident reports, he once came home with socks and shoes completely soaked from morning water play and had apparently worn them all day, including during nap time. His feet were pale and wrinkled from being wet for so long. That should never happen! I don't know if the pain I feel every time I see this scar on my son's face will ever go away, but I truly hope this daycare takes children's safety and supervision as seriously as they present themselves. Clearly, they need closer oversight and stronger precautions!

I can't say enough wonderful things about TLE! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel…read moreso welcome and at ease. The teachers are not only warm and caring, but also genuinely invested in each child's growth and happiness. My child comes home every day excited to share what they learned, and I can see real progress both academically and socially. The classrooms are bright, clean, and full of engaging activities that spark curiosity and creativity. I also love how TLE incorporates a strong curriculum while still making learning fun through play. Communication with parents is excellent too I always feel in the loop about my child's day and milestones. It's clear that the team at TLE truly loves what they do, and it shows in the way the kids thrive. I feel completely confident knowing my child is safe, loved, and learning in such a positive environment. Highly recommend!

There are always mean kids in the world but it helps calm the situation when the staff is helpful. Thanks Salvation Army for allowing my son to have a safe, inexpensive fun summer. Did I mention inexpensive, it was so cheap they even provided 2 meals a day. I'm still pleased. I wish we lived closer so he could go to there center during the school year it's probably inexpensive and helpful.

The staff are so attentive and professional. I always felt I could go to them with any questions that I had. I truly feel that sending them here for preschool gave them a great foundation for when they started TK and Kindergarten. Both of them are now in 1st and 3rd grade attending the after school program here. I love their after school program because they get their homework completed and also still do fun activities. I know when I leave my kids here they are safe and taken care of!! And the best part is: THE KIDS LOVE IT HERE!! Thank you Ms. Amanda, Ms. Natalee, Ms. Crystal, and Ms. Sylvia for running such an amazing program!

My daughter went from having never ridden a horse to being able to show in a year. More importantly, she made friends there because Tracy encourages a nurturing atmosphere. My daughter came out of her shell and has flourished here. As a rebuttal to the one negative post on this site, I have observed Tracy with students of all ages and backgrounds (note: we are not Caucasian) and there is not one ounce of bias from her towards anyone. Tracy is patient and kind, but is stern when the circumstance requires it. She is truly an empathetic and caring person, who is a consummate horseperson. All I have seen is what a great role model she is for the many kids that she teaches.

After a week and a half here, she became very unhappy everyday. There are older kids that call her names, trample on her toys and gang up on her with language abuse, when she clearly told them to stop and leave her alone. She had been in multiple camps and had always been a happy kid with lots of friends, and has never been so distressed. It doesn't seem that the staff did a good job maintaining a safe environment or nurturing healthy relationship between the attending children.

Her traditional daycare was…read morenot working out great for her, it was too much time indoors and we started to see behaviors we didn't like. We felt like a lot of issues could be solved with more outdoor time, but that school didn't have room for that in their schedule. YICC is the exact opposite! It's absolutely child-led, fun, nurturing, and MESSY. At first we were nervous about the free flowing and open ended environment, but my toddler has been there for over a year now and she's thriving! She loves getting to spend her days outside, rain or shine! Even our extended family members have noticed how happy, talkative, and confident she has been since starting at You're Invited. We are so glad we found You're Invited & we love seeing our daughter grow there!

They have tje train rides inside the mall as well that the kids always want to go on, so here the kids are able to enjoy the attraction. I like that they also have a candy station, food court and also cranes. :) Kids also love it. Definitely will be back!

The ball pit is an excellent example of balls coated in dirt and grime just waiting to get toddlers and babies sick. Clear padding at the base of a main slide is tearing off, and still no improvement to the hygiene of the bathrooms. We've now come to expect to bring extra clothing for ourselves and the kids as it's just not as clean as it was before. It's also a bummer they took out the train, although we understand it was costing them a lot in maintenance fees to keep up. Still, we will continue bringing our kids. Owners if you're reading this, PLEASE keep up with the cleanliness of this indoor playplace. You have hundreds of kids a week coming through. The least you can do is to ensure a hygienic atmosphere for families to enjoy.
