A full year in the books being with Katie's Kids preschool and our family has never been happier!…read more I personally have been involved in my kid's daycares before we moved to Eagle, ID (and also my oldest daughter's school experience being that she is special needs), so I am a bull dog mama making sure the right people are taking care of my kids. The teachers and staff working at Katie's Kids along with Katie herself are exactly who I want molding and helping my children learn and grow. To be honest, reading one of these negative views gets my blood boiling because Katie works so hard to give/provide the best possible experience and atmosphere for our children and her staff. Katie is a BOSS LADY because she has has built her business from the ground up and to be honest if it were a man we were talking about no one would be questioning it. Women need to be lifting other women up not trying to tear them apart. Also, Katie is more direct then most so because she is direct and has strict policy on sickness/illness (to protect her and the school from liability) she is now seen as a rude?!! My kids have had Hand foot, Mouth, pink eye, etc. so we have had to take our kids out for days and weeks at a time. Unfortunately, that is part of the drill when your kids go to daycare/school. They are going to get sick sometimes more often especially if they are new. And believe me it's hard working with your kids home but if your kids are sick or have a contagious bug then no matter what school they are at you would have to keep them home. What I really want to emphasize is that the teachers are happy and you can tell they are part of a family there and I feel that way too. Katie and Wendy are always available; their door is always open if I need to discuss anything but I find myself sharing our lives and all the positive things my kiddos are doing and learning. Leaving your children everyday in the care of someone else is scary and hard to do. I have had family help raising my children, previous day care facilities, an in home facility and school so I know all facets of this industry. That said, I have an almost 2 year old and a 5 year old at Katie's (my oldest is in 1st grade) and we feel good dropping them off EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. My kids are loved and celebrated. They are taught to be kind, respectful and overall good humans which is hard to come by in this day and age. We are blessed to have Katie and her staff in our lives taking care of our children while my husband and I both work and I hope you check it out and find out how wonderful it is for yourself!

DO NOT send your child to Extreme Aventura under any circumstance…read more The only thing extreme about this daycare is their extreme lack of professionalism and their abject neglect of the children that they are responsible for taking care of. We enrolled our 2 year old son in daycare here and it was the worst mistake we have ever made as parents. When I picked our son up after his first (and only) day at Extreme Aventura, I asked the owner how my son did and she told me he was upset, which is understandable as he's 2 and had never been to daycare before. She said that he was happy when he got to go outside, so they left him outside for most of the day. When I picked him up he had the worst sunburn he's ever had. I asked her if they put any sunscreen on him or had him wear his hat and she said it wasn't necessary because they have plenty of shady areas outside. Anyone with any semblance of common sense knows that a 26 month old toddler knows nothing about sunburns or staying in the shade. Regardless, IT WAS OVER 100 DEGREES OUTSIDE THAT DAY AND THE UV INDEX WAS OVER 8 !!! No amount of shade is going to prevent a very fair-skinned redheaded toddler from getting sunburned when the UV index is 8+ on a 100+ degree day. This is absolutely inexcusable, unforgivable neglect from a childcare provider. Especially since we provided both a hat and sunblock in the diaper bag that we left with him at the daycare. To make matters worse, Extreme Aventura does not follow any kind of safety protocol whatsoever for adults picking up children. I had never been to Extreme Aventura before (his mother enrolled him and dropped him off). They did not know what I looked like as they had never met me, had no photos of me, had never seen my ID and did not have a copy of my ID on file. My wife gave me a numeric code that Extreme Aventura is supposed to obtain from me to verify that I am authorized to pick up our son. They never asked me for this code. I knocked on the door and simply said I'm here to pick up (son's name). That woman went back inside and the owner brought our son out and gave him to me. At no point did the owner of Extreme Aventura, or the lady who answered the door, ask me for the numeric code. Nor did they ask to see my ID. THEY DIDN'T EVEN ASK ME FOR MY NAME! I could have been anyone, as far as they're concerned, and they just let me leave with a child without knowing or even attempting to verify who I am. I promptly informed Extreme Aventura, through the Brightwheel app that they use to communicate with parents, that we would not be bringing our son back to their daycare. My wife additionally emailed them informing them why we would not be bringing our son back. My wife also informed them that we would pay for the day he attended but we wanted a refund of the $150 enrollment fee. They did not respond to my wife's email until I called them and told them that we need a response to the email. They made an excuse over the phone about being closed for a week, however it took them almost 2 weeks to reply to my wife's email and they did so only after I called them. And they never responded to my message. When the owner finally responded to my wife's email she said "I'm sorry you feel that way" then proceeded to make a bunch of ridiculous, BS excuses for their extreme neglect of our son. She also refused to refund the $150 enrollment fee despite the fact that our son was there for only one day and all they did was neglect him, send him home badly sunburned and send him home with someone, who as far as they were concerned and knew, could have been a complete stranger or someone who is not authorized to take a child from their care.

We had a bad experience at a local Montessori. It was just a year ago that we pulled him out of his old school. His confidence was low, he would physically flinch when other children simply approached him, and he hated school. Fast forward to now, after one year at the Barnyard. His confidence has soared, he has a great group of friends, he's developed a love for math, his speech delay is non-existent, and we've seen him come out of his shell. The teachers and staff at the Barnyard genuinely care and they want to see the children thriving, just as much as the parents do. They go above and beyond, and it shows in my sons smile as he runs into class.

The menu is wonderful - I feel great about what my child eats there during the day. The thing I love the most is their curriculum - every week is a different unit - even for the youngest kids!

I also really appreciate the Brightwheel app they use- I get pictures and updates all day long about what my daughter is doing. I would recommend this daycare 1000 times over.
