I wanted to take some time to provide a thoughtful review on this program as I pulled my child for…read morehis own safety. I want to preface this with: I am a member of Eastlake Church. The church is fantastic, and the kids program there for during church services is GREAT and this review is ONLY pertaining to the Eastlake Children's Center preschool which is run M-F. I was very eager to enroll my son in this program. I had heard so many amazing things about this program and it was an added bonus that we love our church. I even provided paperwork to this program when my son was approximately 1 year old (they don't take kids until they are 2 but I wanted to ensure we were not waitlisted as I had read that they were such a popular program). My son finally was enrolled this July for the 2024-25 school year. When he started he was fully potty trained. As school started it was clear there was some new school year kinks needing to be worked out regarding organization and teachers. I tried to remain positive and provide grace when a new teacher I had never met would be giving me my child without an ID check. My son immediately had potty accidents. More than when he started training. I thought this was simply because there are no potty's in the classrooms as typical 2 year rooms have at most programs. Assuming it's just a distance to potty adjustment we proceeded on. However, my son started hitting himself and yelling at himself in the potty when he was home saying "YOU GO POTTY IN TOILET NOT POTTY IN PANTS!" then would hit his leg. He's never behaved in this way. It broke my heart. I spoke to Ms. Jeanette at the front about how I think the teachers may be yelling at him and stressing him out about the bathroom here, and it's affecting us at home. They started making me put pullups on him (which we have NEVER done). The accidents never got better. I could never talk to his teacher because his main teacher was only there from 830-12 with him. Because he was a full time kid, I would be picking him up from different random teachers all the time. Some wouldn't even know which kid was mine when I said his name even thought he had been at the school a month at this point. About 2 weeks into school I picked my son up (again from a random teacher I've never met the 2 weeks prior to this) and he had a huge scrape on his forehead, as if he had fallen head first on cement. My son has been in a daycare setting since he was a baby, so I am aware that I should be getting an "ouch report" anytime there is an injury of a child, even if they are unsure how it happened. Once they see an injury, they need to report when that injury was noticed. At his last daycare I would also get a phone call for any head injuries. I got nothing here. However, it's only the 2nd week of school and I just let it go and chalked it up to the new school year situation. New teachers etc. About a week and a half later I picked my son up and he had a scrape on his nose that was bloody and thick. I didn't say anything to the teacher at pick up because when I gave the name of my child I had to point at which child he was for her to know who to give me. (again terrible security and no ID was checked). If she doesn't know my kid by his name, she def doesn't know what happened to his nose. No ouch report. Since I was already waiting to hear back from the director via email regarding my request to meet with her, I decided I would bring it up then. Then, the very next day my son had yet a THIRD scratch on his face with no ouch report. As I walked out I stopped to talk to Ms. Jeanette (I think she's the assistant director?) and I told her this is the 3rd time in 2 weeks my son has bloody marks/scratches on his face with no ouch report. All she said was "yeah you should have an ouch report" and that was it. I was hoping for "well let's contact his teacher and figure out what's happening" or "maybe we can ask the teachers to see if they set it somewhere besides his cubby" or "I will talk to the teachers and figure out what's going on" but she didn't seem to care at all. She took no worry to this. Again, I've had my son in daycare settings for a while, so I am not one of those overly paranoid parents, but the lack of concern for my son's safety, especially regarding facial injuries frequently over a short period was alarming. I immediately pulled him from the program, and reported them to state licensing. My son had been in school there only 1 month. During the time I enrolled him officially in February 2024 until the day I pulled him from the program there were THREE licensing violations- one of which was a teacher physically abusing children and another was a teacher leaving a child alone on the playground! This program used to be the best around. There was a change in the leadership of the preschool a couple years back, and needless to say the program is NOT what it used to be. My husband said that most times he picked our son u

The transformation in him was remarkable: he went from resisting drop-off on day one to insisting on going every day. In fact, he loved the environment so much that when it was time for TK, he refused to go to another school. We decided to have him spend another year of preschool here instead because he was thriving so much. Ms. Norma, the teachers, and the administrative staff created such a caring, patient, and supportive environment. They partnered closely with our family to ensure he had the individualized support he needed, making a meaningful difference in his early years. We are sincerely thankful for everything they have done and highly recommend KV Montessori Academy to any family seeking a nurturing place for their child.

My daughter started daycare over at childtime in August right after she turns two. I was assured that this was a safe school and my daughter was in good hands. It was good for a month then she started coming home with bruises with cuts. When I report it to the director, no one knows what happened. I've noticed multiple times where Miss Michelle is yelling at the kids where kids are afraid and running away from her. My daughter was hitting the back of her hand and screaming (her name stop). When bringing those concerns to the supervisors, they just brush it off and blaming on the other kids. Also by saying that Miss Michelle can be tough but she's a good teacher. My daughter came home with handprint and teeth mark on her back and I was not given an incident report. When I asked what happened and sent them an email detailing different incidents that happened to my daughter in the past month or so, they blame it on the other children or they just don't know. I just don't understand how parents are paying nearly $2000 a month for services and safety that can't be provided. I had to look for another provider to get her out of that environment as soon as possible.

My kids started going to daycare in 2017, since then my children have been given the opportunity to learn, play, and make new friends. I enrolled my two boys and I was impressed with the team Arlene put together to run the daycare. Arlene has dedicated her time to making sure to run her business with integrity. Everything is pretty much straightforward and it's written in the contract. Although I can see that sometimes as parents we want more flexibility, nevertheless they are very accommodating. Also, if you start work early and/or get out of work late, Arlene and Fred make sure to pick up you kids from school (if the school is nearby) which gives you a peace of mind when you get stuck at work. I give Arlene and Fred my highest recommendation! Additionally, what makes this place even greater are the nurturing and loving ladies that work along with Arlene and Fred. It is true, Ms. Carolina and Ms. Sonia are great with the kids. The children love them, and I'm sure Arlene selected this team due to their compassion and kindness to working with small children. They are a gem to have, an perhaps one of the reasons many children continue to want to come to Munchkin Palace. I'm glad we picked this place to care for our little ones, not only do they have routines which is great for children, but they teach the kids so many things. By the time my son started school he had a head start. My kids learned the ABCs, a bunch of songs and the numbers very early in their development thanks to the structures and attention they were given. We are so pleased to have chosen this place and can't wait to use their services once again.
