We decided to tour Monarch and were impressed with how many teachers they have had for so long still working there. We decided to enroll my son. And it has been the best decision for him. And we have discovered experience matters. At Monarch the entire staff is always smiling. Always coming up with so many different activities! My son now loves school and looks forward to going each and every day! I would highly recommend Monarch Academy. You will not regret it. They are simply the best!

The curriculum is top notch. The teachers, owners and staff are incredible. Both my children loved going to Monarch and were very well cared for. They loved all the teachers, many of whom have been there for the entire time we have been. That alone says a lot about the business. The owners are present every day and very involved. It truly has a family feel. My kids were both MORE than ready for Kindergarten and my daughters teacher even commented to me, that all the kids she has ever had from Monarch are more than prepared. Without hesitation I recommend Monarch Children's Academy.

My family's experience with Amazing Explorers was deeply disappointing and unacceptable. Based on…read morewhat my husband, my son, and I personally experienced, I do not recommend this location. We had repeated concerns involving communication, professionalism, cleanliness, supervision, confidentiality, curriculum transparency, cultural awareness, and leadership. When we raised concerns, we were often met with dismissiveness, disrespect, defensiveness, and a lack of accountability. Owner Marcelo asked me, "What kind of mother are you?" because I had not brought a towel for my son. I found that cruel and inappropriate, especially while I was trying to understand why my child had been placed in another child's underwear. That was alarming, unsanitary, and deeply upsetting. Instead of receiving an immediate apology and explanation, I felt blamed. Marcelo also told me he was in Las Vegas and would address the matter when he returned. A serious concern involving a child's hygiene and care should not be delayed because an owner is traveling. In my experience, he appeared more concerned about me leaving a negative review than correcting what had happened. Kelsey promised to follow up with me regarding an important concern and never did. Her failure to respond made me feel that our concerns were not being taken seriously. Based on my experience, she showed the same lack of accountability I experienced from Marcelo. The current director, Aya, Mary, and regional director Mio were also extremely disappointing. In my opinion, all three need serious additional training in childcare administration, communication, professionalism, confidentiality, conflict resolution, and accountability. During one call, Mary told me she would hang up while my child was still physically inside the school. I did not yell, curse, insult anyone, or behave rudely. I was calmly asking questions about my son. Threatening to hang up on a calm parent while that parent's child is inside the facility is a serious problem. Parents should also not be denied information about the school's curriculum. Families have every right to know what their children are being taught and how the program is structured. Refusing to provide that information raises concerns about transparency. I was also disturbed by what appeared to be gossip involving parents and private family matters. Information allegedly shared about families made its way back to several mothers. Parents should be able to raise concerns without fearing that their private business will be discussed with others. My son was sent to school clean, neatly groomed, with freshly braided hair, clean clothing, and quality shoes. We spend hundreds of dollars each month making sure he has everything he needs. Yet I repeatedly picked him up extremely dirty, with food or other substances around his mouth and on his clothing. I understand children get messy, but there is a difference between normal play and failing to provide basic care after meals and activities. The cameras were unreliable, the playground lacked adequate equipment for an extended period, and I did not feel Black history or Black culture was meaningfully represented. After repeated disrespect, broken promises, poor communication, hygiene concerns, unreliable cameras, gossip, lack of curriculum transparency, and a complete loss of trust, my husband and I removed our son because the school was no longer a good fit for our family. The school may deny or dispute this review, but I would never invent something this serious. This is what my family experienced, and I have retained documentation relating to my concerns. Based solely on our personal experience, I do not recommend this place. Parents deserve honesty, professionalism, transparency, accountability, properly trained staff, and respectful communication. Most importantly, children deserve better.

Very rude unprofessional gossipy owners/staff.

WARNING: DO NOT ENROLL YOUR CHILD HERE…read more This was the worst daycare experience of my life. The director is rude, unprofessional, and lacks empathy -- especially disturbing since I enrolled my 3-year-old daughter, a cancer survivor, who requires special care. She came home hungry, with rashes, and staff turnover was constant. When I voiced concerns, they were ignored. After contacting corporate, I experienced daily harassment from the director, including retaliatory late fees and payment pressure. I was NEVER notified my daughter's health forms were expired -- only told 21 days later she couldn't return. When I questioned it, I was told, "That's not my problem." After threatening legal action, they suddenly became "compassionate." Too late. Two other parents withdrew their children too. Protect your babies. This place is NOT safe or professional. Definitely not worth the price! #LaPetiteAcademy #DaycareReview #Retaliation #Discrimination #ProtectOurChildren

I'm a first time mom and even I know the dangers of having a newborn sleep on his stomach. Their explanation for why they placed him to sleep that way was because he was fussy. Of course he will be fussy on his first day away from his parents! That doesn't mean risk his safety! I was so afraid he was going to be dead when they finally pick him up after I yelled at them. That fear is now instilled in me and I have trouble trusting anybody to watch my baby without severe anxiety. Then It took a month of constant calls to the corporate headquarters to get a refund.

My child…read moreis currently in her 1/2 day VPK class and it feels like she is taking a world learnings course daily. Ms. Hunsha has introduced so many cultures and ways of the world to every single student, which will surely benefit them as they continue their development. She is helping to cultivate acceptance, inclusion and positivity amongst the entire class. My husband and I also love the way that she nurtures each child and meets them where they are individually. Our soon to be 5 year old loves science and quite often gets to engage in fun and educational science experiments, tapping into an area of learning girls can sometimes be excluded from. Our daughter was already reading when she started VPK but, together, with Ms Hunsha we have see her reading level increase to that of a second grader. And to further reinforce what she is learning, Ms. Hunsha has her read to her classmates. That action alone is building confidence, how to present in front of others and a host of other important and necessary skills for a well rounded child and adult. Ms Hunsha creates an environment that is welcoming, enjoyable, curious and safe for students. She commands respect with a loving hand and they all absolutely adore her. I could go on and on about how wonderful we think she is and how much of a blessing she has been. Thank you Ms. Hunsha! Our family will forever be grateful to you and for the exciting world of learning that you have opened up for our baby!
