My child attended PCK Preschool and is autistic. While staff were polite, we were repeatedly told…read morethat the program could not offer additional support and that it "wasn't a good fit." The school would not allow his ABA therapist to attend with him, and conversations consistently focused on limitations rather than collaboration or accommodation. Based on our experience, the program appears designed for children who already fit a narrow profile, leaving little room for those who need support. We ultimately chose a school that welcomes our child, works with his providers, and supports his growth--and that decision has made a significant difference.

The PRESCHOOL is way too expensive for the quality and amount of schooling received. basically you…read moreare just paying a lot to have an extra chance to get into kindergarten. I didn't feel like my daughter was receiving any better education than the neighborhood preschool we switched to. The teacher also didn't seem to discipline a kid who kept pushing the other kids on the playground, as it never got resolved. drop off/pickup is a NIGHTMARE. the preschool parents have to work around the regular school pickup/drop off. they won't let you park to pick up your kid if the school is still doing elementary pickup, even if theyre super late and it's preschool pickup time. but yet I'd you're late on other days you have to pay a fee. they have no care for parents schedules. the preschool does not follow rules/guidelines by health department in regards to masks. One good thing, at least in my daughters class, there was a lot of diversity of students!

What I love most about Great Escape is that I believe the Directors truly love the kids. My son…read more(21 months) is greeted with a warm welcome every morning and wakes up saying the name of one of one of the directors because he wants to go to school. I have watched the directors make tough decisions and they have always done so in the best interest of the families. We are grateful for the way they handled COVID, ensuring that parents were a part of the re-opening decision and have taken the necessary precautions by making changes to ensure the safety and health of our children. I have referred friends and family members to them. The teachers also love my son. I originally chose Great Escape because they seemed to be the only place taking a September birthday at age one (part time). I am grateful for their care and flexibility. This summer they have had elementary care available too in which they have brought in special activities such as putt putt golf and oversized blocks for construction building contests.

The Director, Jennelle Kreishner, has provided us with everything we need and everything that Dylan needs. Dylan has a lot of special needs as he has a peanut allergy and is mildly autistic.

I highly recommend Great Escape for your pre-school child especially if you have two working parents who need a lot of flexibility in your child's care. Their prices are very reasonable, too!" - Phil R.

We don't currently have a child attending LTA, but can speak to the tour and initial communication…read moreof the staff. My husband and I will be first time parents, and so we came to the scheduled tour with lots of questions and curiosities. Prior to even going on the tour, the center owner, Michelle, responded to my online form and scheduled me for a time of my choice that week. When we arrived, the Head of School, Michael, greeted us at the front desk and took us to sit down and understand our priorities first. He then spent the next 1.5 hours answering all of our questions, sharing information helpful to new parents seeking childcare, and showing us the facilities. I have to assume most tours are not this long, but he gave us all the time we needed. As we toured the center, we could easily tell all of the families were well acquainted with the staff (it was pick-up time), and the teachers engaged with us as we visited their rooms. I even overheard a teacher enthusiastically telling a parent during pickup that she had pictures to share tomorrow regarding a milestone for the child. While there, we also met the other owner, Todd, and he shared he and his wife's passion for the center and why they keep their prices affordable for their community. We had toured another well-known and elite childcare center earlier in the day and were blown away by LTA, truly. We signed up for their waitlist on the spot and are excited about the prospect of our first child attending the school.

Everyone is hands-on, has an open door policy and truly care about the health, education and overall well-being of the students. My son loves to go into school every day, has a blast with his friends - you can enroll them in extra programs at a nominal fee. Their facilities and playgrounds are awesome, too. Their cook is amazing who provides a healthy variety of food options (breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack). Any concerns that we had had were taken seriously, addressed immediately with action taken. LTA really fosters an environment that creates comfort and trust - I am confident when we drop him off that he's having a great day and sincerely engage with the school as our "second family". Other things we love: holiday program, parent's night out (first Friday of every month you can pay for babysitting until 10pm) mother's day tea, father's day breakfast, sno-cone social day, Halloween parade, fundraisers, summer picnic, the list goes on - but most importantly walking in every day to smiles of those who know and have a sincere relationship with my child just warms my heart, not just the teachers but the front staff as well. Thank you to Lawton-Taylor for such a wonderful experience

Writing this a former full time employee/current on call substitute…read more.. My journey at Larks began when I was working for an early childhood substitute teaching company. Eventually the owner Bridget recruited me from the company and hired me full time. I have been in early childhood education for well over a decade now, I have seen a lot of schools: the good, the bad and the ugly! Larks Preschool is an absolute gem, both for its employees and the children attending. It is a small and intimate setting- just one classroom in an adorable one bedroom house that Bridget and her husband converted into a preschool. At most Bridget employs 3 teachers (outside of herself- so 4 total). And the max capacity is 20 children- so the ratio is a dream! And she does not hesitate to book a substitute when needed. At larger places that I have worked at, everyday we had to shift kids around or combine classes, it was stressful for the kids and the teachers. Not a thing at Larks! Also, I have loved not having to constantly stay late, deal with constantly being short staffed, or battle black out dates for my time off, or attend unpaid weekend trainings, ugh! I could go on, but back to Larks The routine is perfect for the children: consistent, well thought out and easy to follow. The layout of the house flows very well with the routine. The day is fairly short, 8am to 3:30pm, and many children only attend for a half day (leave at 12:30pm). The afternoons are quieter- such a nice way to end the day. Bridget is very rigid in her safety protocols and following licensing requirements, but I honestly very much appreciate it after some of the incidents I have witnessed at larger schools and corporate daycare centers. And you have a nice 30 minute time block for prepping for the day- the children don't arrive until 8:30am. Bridget has always been very understanding and flexible with time off with me. She has a lot of empathy around emergencies and life's upsets- not something I have come across often in a boss. There are also a lot of built in breaks. The school follows the DPS schedule and honors their snow days as well. Summer is shorter but still a good chunk of time- more than enough for a nice reset. Larks also has a wonderful SLP who visits several times a month and provides feedback to both us teachers and to parents- so helpful! It is rarely stressful at Larks and just makes for a really fun day- a breath of fresh air especially of you have been in the ECE game for a while. It is Reggio based and is a mixed age group (2.5 to 6 years). Bridget is a big advocate for play based learning, allowing children the opportunity to teach each other and she really emphasizes the importance of language and speech development- I have learned so much from her and my time at Larks. Her experience shows in how well her school functions. A lot of places I have worked I felt like I was much more reactive in my teaching and "putting out fires" all day, so to speak. At Larks, I have learned more preventative strategies and just to slow down and be much more intentional in my interactions. I cannot emphasize how grateful I am for how much I have learned at Larks. I have shared this with Bridget, but she and her school renewed my love for teaching and early childhood development. I was on the edge of completely burning out and considering a drastic career change when I started working at Larks and am truly forever grateful. Again, such a gem! And the families that attend are wonderful and it is in such a great neighborhood- really nice place to go on walks for your lunch break! And younger siblings usually end up attending which is so fun to see. Families often keep in touch for years afterward and reach out to Bridget for feedback and for advisement in their child rearing and school selections, it is very sweet. It is a beautiful place! 10/10 would highly recommend! A great place to start your career in ECE as Bridget, Rachel and Kim are all highly experienced- wish I would have found it much sooner! But also a wonderful place to go if you are just burnt out/underpaid and wanting to rediscover the joys in teaching young children.

We recently enrolled our baby in Bright Horizons and feel incredibly lucky to have Miss Jenna as…read moreour teacher. As first-time parents navigating the daycare experience, we didn't quite know what to expect--but she has exceeded every hope we had and more. Miss Jenna has such a natural gift for working with babies. She is genuinely kind, patient, and attentive, and it's clear how much she truly cares. Our 5-month-old absolutely adores her--he lights up the moment he sees her in the morning, which gives us so much comfort and reassurance. She consistently goes above and beyond to make sure our baby feels loved, safe, and well cared for throughout the day. We especially appreciate the thoughtful updates and photos she sends--they brighten our day and help us feel connected even while we're apart. We are so grateful for Miss Jenna and the positive, nurturing environment she creates. She has made our first daycare experience an overwhelmingly wonderful one, and we truly couldn't ask for a better person to care for our baby!!

My daughter in law had a tour of this location and I was appalled. the under 2 room was a slightly…read moreoversized janitor closet with nothing of color on walls it the floor the children were just wondering around with absolutely nothing to do. I asked if this was a transition room possibly between outside taking off coats washing hands etc... and was told no they were in that room all day. The regular teacher admin out of the country, but was not doing anything to quarantine yourself when she got back they were just going to 'watch her' to see if she had any symptoms of Covid or other illness she was with the children. it broke my heart to see these little ones wondering around so miserably no smiles no laughter. I then witnessed 2 boys tormenting a girl in a different class pretending to use light cabers as weapons as she lay on the floor covering her head. A teacher an aide as well as the asst director not paying any attention to what was happening. I was livid that this was being allowed or ignored and instantly said something so that the situation was addressed. I have been in education for years and would not allow this facility to watch any child. I wish I had known the little girls family so I could contact them and told them what was happening. Obviously there was no way we were using this daycare. I plan to pursue the issues with state. Please for your children Do Not use this facility and be extremely cautious when leaving your children in the care of others. My daughter in law had heard gold reviews of this location. Completely unfathomable! The other locations also withheld their deposits for waiting lists when they choose to question the level of commitment to children! Disgraceful on every level.
