Paidea stood out immediately for so many reasons. The staff is loving, caring, and deeply hands-on with the children, creating an environment that feels warm, welcoming, and like a second home. The school is clean, safe, and stimulating, with thoughtful activities that keep children engaged, learning, and excited to come each day. The teachers are kind, supportive, and genuinely invested in every child's well-being. What makes Paidea especially special is that every staff member is involved--it feels like a true community that is nurturing, helpful, and fun, always going the extra mile to support not only the children, but the whole family. My child has truly thrived here, receiving educational, emotional, and social support, and I feel complete confidence knowing he is in the best hands. In addition, my older son attends the summer program and absolutely loves it. It offers the same strong sense of community while giving him the chance to learn so much and have a wonderful time. I wholeheartedly recommend Paidea to any family looking for a place where their children will be cared for, supported, and encouraged to flourish.

I truly don't know how the staff does it so quickly and with such effusive happiness. The community also feels very tight-knit as well. Parents have their own Parent Advisory Board that meets at various restaurants and breweries with the kids each month. We've made lasting friendships with other parents as our kids start exploring their own first friendships. With a city park nearby, you'll find yourself at an impromptu park playdate with other parents at pickup--cementing long lasting core memories as your kids keep playing with favorite friends and making new ones. But most of all: It's the teachers. They are all some of the most dedicated teachers I've seen. Absolutely in love with each parent's kid and moving heaven and earth to shape each child into a good person every single day. Pure miracle workers. If there's one note to end on, it's this: Lots of places are great at looking after your kids. But for me, Mis Amigos is a place where I know my aren't just safe, but are being truly loved.

As a working professional, I need a reliable, loving, sensible provider that will ensure my daughter's safety and happiness. In Callie's Childcare, this is all in place. The positive emphasis on manners, health, and friendship is beautiful. She allows for free play time for children to discover how to play and provides structure and education. My daughter's social skills and her educational skills have blossomed while in Callie's care. She is learning manners, patience, and is helpful. At 16 months she knows how to clean up and how to put her items away. She is using art tools and enjoys songs and games. She eats a healthy, balanced diet and I love that Callie exposes her to a variety of healthy, home cooked foods. Callie also balances inside and outside play. I love that the children get fresh air and time outside to play and explore. Callie is very in tune with kids, enjoys her work and her genuine interest and enthusiasm shines through in a brilliant way. We see our daughter blossoming and thriving. She asks for "Miss Callie" and often starts her day giving her huge hugs. I know my daughter wants to be there and that she feels loved. That is so important. Callie has helped us learn routines and as a new mother she helps support my questions and concerns! My daughter comes home happy, confident and with her bright mind expanded a little more each day. As a parent I also appreciate Callie's thoughtful communication. We get a daily update on our daughter's day which includes meals, behavior, naps and activities. She shares photos and videos throughout the week which really lifts my heart up when I am away from my daughter. She is quick to communicate about monthly activities and schedules. She always responds thoughtfully to my questions and is flexible when my family is traveling or needs to make adjustments to our schedule. Without hesitation, I completely recommend Callie's Childcare. This is not just a safe place to entrust your child so you can work--it is way more than that! Callie's Childcare is positively impacting not just my daughter's life, but my life too.

I am so impressed with the caliber of the teachers, the staff and the whole team. I LOVE that there is a nurse on-site to take care of kids and to give me advice when I need it as a new mom. I also love that there are some "extra" programs we can sign the kids up for to give them some variety or new experiences that I do not have time to do as a full-time working mom. I have my daughter enrolled in a weekly dance class where she is learning coordination, grace, rhythm and moves. Other extras like Soccer John, The Chef, the bouncy castle and field trips, screen-free week support to parents and many many other extras. I highly recommend KBH!

"You don't know how good you have it until it's gone." - So goes the old addage. Lexington Kids…read moreChildcare has been full time with our son from Infant through age 3. We are spending a summer (six months) in the San Francisco / Bay Area and are amazed how well rounded the entire (infant through preschool) program is. Some BIG WINS compared to a home-based childcare that has good reviews in San Fran: WIN: Great communication from the staff. As our child grew out of infant (Joeys classroom) we were given constant and clear communication when our son would move to the next classroom. Any time our kiddo was sick (and kids do get sick!) we would get a clear phone call right away, and clearly explained that 45mins - 60 mins would be appropriate timing for pickup. WIN: Great "loving to work with kids": Each and every room transition (think "Grades" in K-12 school) was clearly communicated four or more weeks in advance, lots of reminders, and then our son would spend one week "part time" in the new room, one week "fullish time, with time in both rooms" before one half-week of "full time-ish, visiting the old room" to make moving between friend groups and "levels" or "grades" really easy for our kiddo. WIN: All grade levels encourage parent visits, participation and reading programs. You can drop by and play with your kids' class, if you miss him/her. Nothing builds trust faster in me then the constant invitations from teachers in all classrooms to drop by for an activity mid-morning (walk to the park, come read a book to my son's class.) I have participated in a few of these; and the teachers love the interaction and the kids know my first name. WIN: You are greeted when you drop-off and a little "daily sheet" (baby report card) goes home each and every day that outlines how long Naptime was, how well or not well your kid ate, the current week's theme, today's learning activities and your kid's favorite activity of the day. Oh, and if your kid pooped/peed. While that's totally over the top for me, the closing teacher greets you, mentions that your kid had a good/bad day overall, and really enjoyed (insert same name of activity that other teacher wrote on daily sheet.) The amount of data collection about an infant to 3 year old's day is simply amazing. BIG WIN: Classroom management. It's taught to the teachers / caregivers on a bi-weekly or monthly basis, and new techniques for managing the stress of small children are shared among the staff. The staff also "is of one mind" on when various kids are ready to move to the next classroom or "transition". Everyone agrees on staff before a change is made, and anything is communicated with parents. Simply amazing to work with a child care center that works so well together, and at all levels. BIG WIN: Classroom management x 2. When I drop off my kiddo, I can easily say goodbye to him (and is encouraged by the teachers). There is a set routine, and the teachers work individually when my kiddo is having a bad day with drop-off. Kids are asked "how are you feeling? Use words. Think Think Think." then "Why are you feeling this way?" My super-shy kiddo now verbalizes his feelings and needs when asked. This doesn't seem to happen at a home-based daycare in San Fran, where the teachers are less interested in kid's feelings, and just keep the rugrats away from hitting / killing each other. Lexington Kids teachers, at all levels, will pull kids aside and speak with them, *each and every time* a hitty / not-so-nice manner happens in the classroom. If another child gets upset from a brush-by, the offending kid is asked to stop and check to see how the hurt kid feels. Like I said, it's simply amazing the program they have. And there are always more stuff that the individual staff members are applying for; government grants, a reading program that sends a little journal, whiteboard and book home each week in a red bag. There are just little grant-style programs going on all the time that involve parents and time at home. It's all of the above things that make me so aware that each and every teacher loves being around children. That's why they go out of their ways to apply for grants, sponsor spring/fall activities on the weekends and such. Also, our kids' teacher was featured on WCCO Television's morning show as outstanding teacher of the month. While it's a morning TV show, Miss Katelyn is totally like her television appearance in person. Just a wonderful educator. http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2015/01/16/excellent-educator-lexington-kids-katelyn-okeefe/ -matt

Often incodents would happen without receiving a write up. This is a family owned operation that is very manipulating to make things appear at ease. Always telling you good morning & goodbye. Rainbow Childcare Center requires a two week notice. Which is reasonable. Only, when I experienced a hardship and was 1 day behind on the $1240 a month tuition that I had been paying since 2015, The Director Maria and Asst. Director Daniel (probably related to Maria and her mom Cheryl as well) dropped my child with no notice or just cause. Childishly sending my child's personal belongings in the mail. So I'd assume your discriminating against my child or that there is a personal vendetta, and or you had another child to take my child's spot that you could make more money off of. ??? Personally, i believe they dropped my child because I confronted issues that needed to be addressed by staff. Needless to say I contacted the proper authority and there is a full investigation. ***Keep looking parents*** I feel bad for their staff. The non-family ones that have to deal with the BS on a daily basis. Sad, great area: Unreliable, uneduated, manipulative conniving lead employee's.
