    Been going here for the past 9 years my last kiddo just graduated, there was no turnover in…read moreteachers the time I was there which is unheard of in preschool and all my kiddos surprised their kindergarten teachers with their knowledge! ABC has extremely low ratios so your child gets personalized learning experiences. Each child of mine decided to go back during the summers for swimming and field trips so I'm glad we will still be able to be a part of this amazing community!

    We love ABC Creativity Center. My two year old daughter runs out the door every morning, telling us…read moreto hurry up. She often tells us how much she likes school. This is a great daycare, and while it is technically under new ownership, the new owner (Elisa) has been there for several years as the director. Elisa took care of my cousin's son nearly 20 years ago - when I mentioned that to her, she remembered not only him but also his parents. I have found this type of sincere interest in not only the children but also the families of ABC to be one of the reasons we love it here. The teachers are so good with the children and really make each one feel so special. In addition to great teachers, there is a strong and active parent-teacher organization (PTO) that helps support the children and center through various means. Further, we love all the activities and opportunities that our daughter gets exposed to such as gymnastics, swim, theater, art, and music. She often comes home singing new songs and doing new gymnastics tricks. This is truly a community daycare and we are so happy to be a part of it. I would highly recommend it to others.

    After looking at other child care centers for my 19 month old, I was completely won over by…read moreNature's Child Care. THIS is what I envision when I think of a quality center. I love that they have a controlled entry system at the front door and cameras watching every area. Inside, the classrooms are large, bright, clean, and decked out with quality, developmentally appropriate furnishings and playthings. The outside areas are well-equipped and fenced. The employees are very friendly and made my son feel at ease immediately. The tuition is (what I believe to be) a bargain for such quality. I also appreciate that it is a peanut-free zone, since my son may have an allergy. A nice extra - they offer optional activities (with fees) such as soccer, dance, and music. I am thrilled to have found this place!

Nature's Childcare staff and the entire business made me feel very comfortable with going back to work. There is video monitoring in each room (not viewable from my work computer, which I actually prefer) so if there is an event, it can be reviewed. The center is secure and entire staff is well trained. The management are VERY aware of what is going on in each room and the communication between staff and parent is excellent. Each room has 'Teachers' and they actually teach, which I am always impressed with. I now have three children in Nature's Childcare and wouldn't dare go anywhere else for childcare. I wish every day care center was as impressive as this one! I can honestly say that I would not be back to work if it weren't for Nature's Childcare. Thank you! Thank you!

    We feel so lucky to have found an amazing school and community through Northview Montessori! When…read morewe were moving out to Boise, mid-pandemic, it was hard to navigate getting our son in school in a place that we had no real parent network in place. At the recommendation of a colleague, we looked into Northview and we could not be happier. After months of hard-to-navigate online pre-k programs back home, we enrolled our son in the in-person program at Northview mid-year. The teachers and staff were patient, attentive and showed extra care in getting our son situated and back in the "groove" of attending school. We kept our son there over the summer, where they did an amazing job balancing active play and lots of outdoor time, with the right amount of learning to stave off the summer learning loss. Now, our guy is in Miss. Debbie's kindergarten class and we are so impressed, seriously... she is a child-whisperer. Patient, understanding, calm, smart, creative and loving. Miss. Debbie does a wonderful job setting up her curriculum to incorporate many Montessori principles while also preparing students to enter into 1st grade in a more traditional setting. Added bonus, the before and after school care that is still developmentally stimulating and fun! The size, access, communication and flexibility of the staff make this school a working parent's dream! Finally, while I know people are in many different places when it comes to things like COVID policies and masking, I appreciate the thought and care that Northview takes in constantly reviewing the latest guidance and working on ways to keep students and their families safe. For me, this has provided incredible piece of mind. In a time of a lot of change and chaos, Northview has been one of the absolute best things we've found in moving to Boise and we will forever be grateful for the foundational love of learning they have helped to spark in our son.

    TLDR: Punished our 3 year old for potty accidents by making him sit in his own poop until I could…read moreget there to pick him up (despite having clean clothes for him and telling us they would help our newly potty trained 3 year old with accidents). If I could leave zero stars, I would. We have a child who just turned 3 years old in June that we enrolled at Northwest Montessori in August 2025. He had been potty trained for about 2 months before we started but with the change, completely regressed. But we were working on it, asking the teachers for guidance on how to handle it, etc. Our child came home telling me one day that his teachers (Miss Rebecca and Miss Beverly) wouldn't let him play at the station he liked because he had an accident (pooped his pants). But I just thought maybe that's just how a 3 year old tells stories... But then yesterday, I got a call from the school. He had another accident. Now we have extra clothes at the school and in the past the teachers have helped him get cleaned up and change his clothes. This was actually something we SPECIFICALLY asked about during our tour (how accidents would be handled, if they would help with wiping since he's still learning, etc and we were told oh, yes absolutely). Then yesterday I got a very rude call from their "director" Debbie who was angry that my child had another potty accident. She was not kind or apologetic but actually snapped "it's not the teacher's job to do this" ... But this "montessori" has 1 year olds as well. So they are a daycare. They change diapers. They had actually mentioned moving him down a class if we needed to when we started but that was as close as they ever came to working with us to find a good solution. *** And when we enrolled, we specifically asked about this and they said they would make him put on his own clothes but they would help clean him up. She then told me that I needed to come pick him up. When I got there, he was pulled out of his room and sitting in a chair, sitting in his own poop. His clean clothes were literally on the floor next to him that they refused to help him with. Because they were mad that he had an accident, they decided to punish him by making him sit in his poop. Three grown women thought it was appropriate to punish a three year old for a bathroom accident by making him sit with a turd in his pants until I could get there (and btw she initially left me a voicemail so they had no idea how long it would take me to get there or to even get their message).

    I wanted to love this place so bad. I toured when I was still pregnant. It looked like such a nice…read morefacility and it was so close to my home and based on the tour and what I was told by the director it seemed like very high quality care. After my 4.5 month old daughter enrolled we started seeing issues right away. -Before she started daycare my daughter never had any diaper rash at all. Her first day she came home with very bad diaper rash to the point it was almost blistering. After it healed over the weekend we sent her in again and she got diaper rash immediately again. We brought in ointment and had to talk to the staff several times about making sure to change her diaper regularly. -SAFE SLEEP: I've seen babies sleeping in swings with blankets over their faces each time I come in and when I ask about it they say they don't keep the babies in there once they go to sleep but there are multiple babies in the swings sound asleep whenever I go in. Also when I came and got her I saw she was asleep in a swaddle even though she's over 4 months old and rolling. -LACK OF TRANSPARENCY: Building on the above, when I asked one of the teachers where my daughter slept she told me the swing or bassinet. I asked my husband to instruct them not to put her in a swing during sleep when he dropped her off the next day and they told him they don't put babies in swings for sleep (even though I saw it with my own eyes). Then I asked them about it again the next day and they said they only put babies in swings to get them to fall asleep then move them within 5 minutes (even though almost every time I came in there were multiple babies sound asleep in swings or bouncers AND blankets covering faces). Then when I brought it up with the director she said some parents ask to put their babies in the swings and she allows it and she said that her training said it's ok to swaddle babies that can roll (it's not). -The papers they give with what happened during the day are never accurate, for example we send 2 bottles and they say she had 3 bottles (I'm terrified where the 3rd bottle came from - was it another moms breast milk?) There were other small concerns not worth mentioning but the whole thing felt like a bait and switch from my tour. I set up a meeting with the director, Miss Patty with the intention of unenrolling our daughter based on the issues we saw. During our meeting Patty seemed very receptive to my concerns and spent an hour talking to me about how if I decided to keep my daughter enrolled then she would make sure there would never be an issue again and it would be "a new daycare" when I returned. I told her I'd need to talk it over with my husband but that I appreciated her receptiveness. The next day i got a call from Patty saying that after talking to the owner (patty's sister I believe) they decided my daughter wouldn't be a good fit. That was fine with me since I came to that conclusion anyway but alarming that they think parents that look out for their child and other children's safety is not the right fit. To add additional transparency that I think is worth knowing, I later learned from a former employee that almost all the reviews for this place are from employees or family friends. Do not rely on them.

    The only reason I don't give this business 5 stars is because of the administration. It seems every…read moretime I turn around they had another reason for my child to potentially not be able to come back for 24 hours. As a mother who works full time with no family in the state to care for my children one can see how this would be problematic especially with an 1800 month tuition for two children. As a nurse I understand illness and addressed this prior to being my children here and I was reassured they wouldn't be sent home every time they had a cough.. but this just isn't the case. The teachers have been really great to my kids and I can tell they love them very much and I appreciated that. I'm super dissapointed in the cold encounters I have had with both Patty and Ashley. They have a chip on their shoulder and treat parents as though they have done something wrong with how they approach issues with the kids and that's not how any parent would like to be treated. My boys are well behaved and well mannered and they are not to be looked at as a "problem" and it's not the environment I would keep them in despite the good experience we have had with their teachers. On more than one occasion they have been short staffed and the teacher to child ratios have been below state standards. They need not seem to be prepared when dealing with this type of business.
