We have to keep him out of day care for two weeks to get healthy. On the first day back to their daycare he gets Chicken Pox. So that's three days there and 3 illnesses. We have already paid 500 dollars for their services and they won't refund any of our money. But worse they take no responsibility for his illness. They didn't even want to report it when I called. Not to mention they have the children take 4 hour naps, the constantly taking all the wipes and diapers from my sons bag to use on other children, and the lack of information when it comes to what is being done with your child. After our talk with Kidsplay I received a land slid of incorrect info on my child's day their. So bad that he was picked up at 2 by his grandmother, but they still put in the information that he had a diaper change at 3pm. I am so disappointed in this place and will not being sending my child back! I urge any parent to do the same!!! I contacted them at 9am about the situation, and they didn't inform anyone until 1:30pm

My daughter loves the daycare, she told me Sherry Davidson the owner monitor all the classroom and make sure all kids are treated equally and in a safe environment. I visit the facility and it is kept spotless, I observed the classrooms and I was very impress with the teaching. If you want excellent care in a clean, safe and professional environment...I HIGHLY recommend Kim's Kids.

There have been several other small issues we've had that we let go of. However, the final straw is when Kathy blew up on my husband on a phone call that was discussing our schedule. She was very irate with my husband which ultimately led to my husband hanging up on her and us pulling our son from her daycare. She then blocked me from viewing any of her daycare pages on Facebook. This must be a common thing she does when she pisses parents off, so they don't leave true reviews. I have heard from multiple other people that she flies off the handle.

Our children attended this center for several years, with their final month being July 2025. While…read morethere were positive moments earlier on, ongoing concerns regarding communication, professionalism, and consistency ultimately led us to withdraw. One incident involved our 7-year-old being required to lie down in a toddler classroom during rest time without a blanket or pillow. We were not notified the day this occurred and only learned about it after our child disclosed it. Two teachers later confirmed the situation. When we met with the owner, the concerns about age-appropriateness and lack of same-day communication were not clearly addressed. Communication regarding behavior was inconsistent. In this instance, it was presented at pickup on paper rather than communicated when it occurred. Families also paid a separate summer activity fee in addition to tuition, yet multiple scheduled field trips were canceled due to transportation or other issues. There were also concerns about privacy practices. Prior-year tax documents were taped to the front door and left unattended. After withdrawing our children, I had to follow up to obtain required paperwork. How this was handled ultimately prompted me to write this review. Although our children left in July 2025, the tax document issue reinforced broader concerns about transparency and professionalism. After posting reviews on other platforms, I was contacted privately by an employee. I was later unable to access the business's Facebook page. This review reflects my direct experience. I encourage families to ask detailed questions about communication practices, discipline policies, summer programming, and how confidential documents are handled before enrolling.

Unhealthy Work Environment Rooted in Toxic Leadership My…read moreexperience at this company as an employee was defined by toxic leadership and a deeply dysfunctional culture. The director consistently made decisions based on personal convenience rather than what was best for staff or the children. There was a strong desire for control, yet staff were reprimanded for not being "independent" enough--creating a no-win situation. Constructive suggestions, creativity, or simply knowing more about a subject than the director were often met with criticism or hostility. The director's moods dictated the tone of the workplace, and if she was having a bad day, everyone felt it. In some cases, personal items were thrown at staff, and interactions could be emotionally damaging. I routinely witnessed the director comment about individual appearances and make professional decisions based on such. Employees are routinely expected to handle personal tasks for the director and owners, including managing their packages, running errands, and printing personal photos--often after hours. If a package is lost or an item is incorrect, staff are blamed and interrogated. There was little regard for work-life balance. The director frequently arrived late or left early for personal reasons, yet staff were not extended the same flexibility. Even in cases of illness, employees were pressured to come in, with little empathy or support. You are required to speak to the director personally when calling off work so that she can question and pressure you to come into work. Resources were limited, with classroom supplies locked away due to misplaced accusations of theft. Staff often had to purchase their own materials. Long-standing broken items were blamed on staff, regardless of logic or context. Perhaps most concerning was the expectation that staff attend charity events and contribute financially, even when it wasn't feasible. There was a clear pattern of manipulation and quid-pro-quo dynamics. Overall, this was a psychologically unhealthy environment that prioritized the needs and egos of management over the well-being of employees. I would not recommend working here unless there is a change of owner.

My children have been attending Lakeside for a little over a year and I can't say enough great…read morethings about the care they receive there. We had actually been searching for a house in the area and I was looking at day cares to get on lists right away - I loved the facility, teachers, and several other accommodations on our tour that we actually ended up reducing our house search to a smaller area specifically because Lakeside offers transportation to and from a few local elementary schools (they're fantastic schools that we were already considering in addition to another district). That was a big win for me. I also love that they provide us with extra time saving amenities - meals and washing nap linens. While smaller scale things, it's just nice not to have to pack healthy lunches for my little ones every day, or realize at 9pm on Sunday that I forgot to wash nap sheets. I was nervous to uproot my children from a school/day care that we already loved, but thankfully the transition was relatively seamless, and I've been very happy with their care and education.
