They fired the best teacher they had in the toddler room and proceeded to try covering the positions themselves rather than hiring qualified and experienced workers, in order to save money. On more than one occasion at pick up they were understaffed and over child:teacher ratio. I witnessed kids running amok and getting injured with not enough staff to handle the chaos. What ultimately led us to leave was the MULTIPLE occasions of my child coming home with bite marks that went unnoticed and unreported by staff, dirty diapers/clothes with poop left on them, and poor cleanliness of the facility. I had to pull my kid out as it didn't feel like a safe place for him any longer, which is so sad because they had some really great teachers and it hadn't started out that way. The new owners seemed in over their heads, and full of empty promises but then refused to make necessary changes and on were rude and disrespectful to their employees.

And our son has bonded with his teachers and his other classmates and is so excited to go to "school" every day. The class spends a ton of time outside everyday, rain or shine.

We have also bee extremely grateful for Whizz Kids accommodating our sons allergies and dietary needs. They have also been doing and excellent job with the COVID-19 pandemic with taking precautions to keep everyone safe and secure during this uncertain time. I am so happy to have found this place. It has made such a positive change in all of our lives!

Having both a Toddler and an Infant we have worked with the majority of the childcare providers throughout the school--and they are all outstanding. I feel that Whizz Kids is an extension of my home: a supportive atmosphere where children are loved and nurtured. Learning there is hands on and creative. Lesson plans are organized and aptly communicated to us as parents. Additionally, we are able to see pictures of our children online via a secure website as they engage in various activities throughout the day--this is a welcome repreive from work as it makes me feel more connected to my kids! Professionally, I manage a group of clinicians who provide care to seniors, not fundamentally unlike a Childcare/Pre-School, just working with people at the other end of life. Finding the quality people who are caring, responsible, educated and professional is a difficult and never ending task. Whizz Kids has excelled in this area and I couldn't be more proud of the outcomes they have helped my children achieve. I couldn't recommend Whizz Kids more highly.

She gets excited to go to school everyday! We are so thankful for each and every person at Northgate Kindercare! If you have the chance to enroll here, don't hesitate!

I wanted to come back to Yelp and reassure prospective parents - this center is wonderful!

We love this school. Teacher Jessica and Teacher Leslie are superb. Immensely dedicated to school, children and family. There are amazingly creative activities that foster learning in an immersive play-based manner. Inside the school there are so many things that probably would take 2-3 years for a child to go through. There is a nice outdoor play area. School organizes field trips, celebrates holidays and birthdays together as a family. Since its operations are mostly self-funded, parents help put up an event with the school that supports for all supplies and expenses. Parents also take up roles/rotating responsibilities to support education and development. Our daughter loves her school and we could not have been more pleased. My wife also found a loving and intellectual circle of friends.

My daughter loves both Teacher Jessica and Teacher Jan. Her face lights up when we talk about preschool days and she cheers "There's my school!" the moment we pull into the parking lot. From a grown up point of view, I have found invaluable support on parenting challenges from teachers and other parents. The teacher led discussion topics are educational and relevant. It's been wonderful to meet other parents. From the first time I walked in the school I felt it was a magical place - it truly has been for my family. Check out an open house, play date or check with our register about visiting a class one day if you are considering schools.

The administration is a total unprofessional disaster! Weeks had two openings in Preschool and offered my daughter one. We accepted the spot, paid fees up front, unenrolled her from her current school. Three weeks after getting a class list with her teachers and schoolmates names and request to purchase over $100 worth of items for her to start (blankets, emergency flashlight, rain boots, slippers etc) - and one week before her start date- we get an email (not even a phone call!!) that they were revoking her spot because a family had decided to keep their kid in the program and the spot was no longer available. I do not even think this is true- I think they had an admin error. They refused to speak to us on the phone, barely even apologized, then chastised us for getting upset! I would never trust this place with my kids in a million years based on the horrendous disorganization and complete disregard and disrespect for both us and our 3.5 year old. Sure, people say the teachers are great, but what's that worth if a confirmed spot in the class is retractable via email?!

His teachers are truly caring and sweet - they even created a lovely binder full of photos for our parent-teacher day. My son has a lot of friends who he is excited to see. The curriculum is well thought out and incorporates our values. The other parents are wonderful. The school's hours work well with our work schedules. My son eats healthy and nutritious food thanks to the FareStart catering. And the location is wonderful - right next to Green Lake so the kids have easy access to the outdoors! I couldn't be happier with this daycare and am so thankful for it!

Amy and Meghan had the decency to inform us over the phone this morning that they felt unable to provide appropriate support for my son, who has epilepsy. They were unwilling to administer his emergency rescue medication (which is applied rectally), or call 911 as an alternative, in the unlikely event of an emergency-level seizure (which has never happened in his medical history, let alone since he started treatment). Furthermore, they expressed discomfort with the possibility of the other kids seeing a "scary looking seizure event", and said they weren't equipped to talk with the kids about that. We will send them a children's book to help them facilitate those conversations in the future. We offered to provide training, personal or professional, on how to respond to a seizure and administer rescue medication, but they told us that their decision is final and they're not interested. I suppose they did us a favor, because I'm happy to know that my kid wasn't safe in their care. For context, our parent-run co-op pre-school did the training in January, and we had a great school year. We left for schedule-related conflicts, but are likely to return to the co-op, where the parents have shown a willingness to provide essential care and have difficult conversations about health with 4 and 5 year olds. Further important context: While we discussed my son's medical condition in June in great detail, including how to administer rescue medications, we didn't send his care plan until last week. We had good reason: his condition started in December and was still evolving. His care plan is less intense now than it had been. When they got the official medical care plan, which is more technically written, Amy and Meghan were no longer willing to have him in the classroom. I wish we had sent our now-outdated care plan in June so that they could have rejected our application right away. We never wanted to stick them with a kid they couldn't care for. It's a shame because the curriculum looks so good! But actions speak louder than words, and this morning showed that Amy and Meghan aren't confident in their ability to have difficult conversations or respond to unlikely medical emergencies.
