Luckily for me they had an opening and one year later I have nothing but great things to say. Not only do they have a great friendly staff but my son has learned so much more at this school.

My son attended ATLC from Nov 2025 until April 2026 when we removed him from the school after he…read morestated that a teacher had hit him more than once. This was the final straw after we had a few red flags in the short amount of time our son attended this school. A few of these red flags include the following: - Another student hit our son in the face with a stick on the playground. We received a phone call around 2:55PM, approximately 15 minutes before we were scheduled to pick him up to tell us he had a minor scratch on his face and is okay. When we picked him up, we found out he had a large cut from above his eyebrow, down across his eyelid, and then down his cheek and was more severe than presented over the phone. That night I wrote an email about my concerns with the supervision on the playground and asking what their protocol was for sending kids home. Our son had previously been sent home for not taking a nap, but this child who hit our son was not sent home. I never received a response to this email. The following day at drop off we received an incident report that stated this incident occurred around 9AM, even though we were informed about hours later. It as well was framed as it was our son's fault for the incident since he took a toy a separate child was playing with. - Our son had begun to be sent home frequently as he had started to not take naps anymore. They would usually call us right before naptime and tell us to pick him up as he was 'disrupting naptime'. One morning I dropped him off and within 30 minutes I received a phone call saying that they were understaffed for the day and asked me to pick him up since he was their 'active' student. - We found out from our son that they played tv prior to naptime when we were never told that they do screen time as we limit screentime in our own home. It is also proven that screentime prior to nap or bedtime prevents restfulness. - If a child does not nap, they will single them out and make them sit by themselves in an empty room. - Our son went from absolutely loving school/daycare and never having disciplinary incidents to weekly being told he was a problem child and singled out constantly. This led to him crying and never wanting to go to school as I believe he felt the dislike toward him from the teachers. - He began to tell us how he only liked his one teacher and that his other teacher was mean. This led to him telling us how on the playground one day this specific teacher grabbed him by the hand, dragged him over to forcefully pick up a toy, and open hand slapped him on the knees/shin area. He told me that this teacher previously sat on him during nap time. He then told me that this teacher called him a naughty word. When pressed further he ended up telling us that the teacher called him "a little shit". Following this incident we immediately pulled our son and removed him from this school. When my MIL went to pick up his belongings, the same teacher laughed in my MIL's face when the situation about hitting our child came up and yelled at her. It was extremely disappointing and disheartening that this woman was supposed to be teaching my son and making him feel safe when she ended up doing the complete opposite. - Lastly, our son has an IEP for speech, and it makes me very concerned that they singled out a child who may not fully be able to communicate what was happening to him. His speech teacher that is employed by the Cambrian school district, conducted an observation of him in class and stated how he had an amazing morning with no incidents. I was elated by the feedback, but of course once we picked him up at the end of the day, we were met by the teacher who told us how unruly he was *right* when the speech teacher left the classroom conveniently. I do not think this woman should be working in any environment with a child moving forward and I hope no other child is hurt physically or emotionally by this preschool. Our son now goes to another preschool and has been thriving since starting there. He has many friends, loves his teachers, and comes home every day with something new that he learned in school. He never had that at ATLC. Instead, he had mean teachers and another student telling him "No one likes you. You have no friends" at THREE.

My son, who was two years old at the time, attended this Montessori for approximately four to five…read moremonths. We enrolled him in February 2026, and during that period, he was also diagnosed with autism. Unfortunately, we had concerns about the daycare from the beginning. The facility appeared overcrowded. One large hall was divided into three open classrooms for children ages 2-3, 3-4, and 4-5. Because the classrooms were not fully separated, the children could easily move between them. During morning hours, we sometimes observed approximately 30-35 children in the hall. Based on what we saw, each class often appeared to have only one part-time teacher managing around 14 children. We were concerned about how the staff could safely supervise so many young children, so we sent our son for only half days. Our son is on the autism spectrum, but he was generally happy and not particularly aggressive. His primary challenges were speech, communication, and following directions. He also does not have significant sensitivity to sound. However, we did not feel that the teachers had sufficient training or support to meet his needs. In my opinion, even children who are not on the spectrum could struggle in an environment with overcrowded classrooms and limited staff. I do not blame the teachers or their assistants because they appeared overworked and may not have received the training and resources they needed. My main concern is with the management. We did not see enough investment in experienced staff, proper staffing levels, or training programs that could help both the teachers and the children have a more positive experience. We withdrew our son in July 2026. On few occasions, we noticed bruises, and he often seemed completely exhausted when we picked him up in the afternoon. Because he is still nonverbal, he could not explain what had happened. We also did not feel that the daycare was sufficiently transparent with us or willing to learn how to better support a child on the autism spectrum. The staff occasionally complained that he ran around the classroom and did not listen, but these were areas in which he needed guidance and support. We clearly explained that toddlers attend daycare not only for supervision, but also to learn routines, social skills, and positive behaviors. If young children already followed every instruction perfectly, parents would not need to spend thousands of dollars on childcare and early education. We expected the management to hire experienced staff and work collaboratively with parents to support each child's development. Based on our experience, we would not send our son back or recommend this daycare to our friends. There are other nearby programs that appear to be more inclusive and supportive of children on the autism spectrum and their families.

They have been attentive to my children and flexible with our needs. My children were not the easiest and they were willing to work with us and try out different things. Here, children are taught to be be kind to each other, and to share, praise, uplift each other, and be accountable for solving problems. Praise, sticker charts, and time away (breaks) are used to help children learn skills or reflect on their behaviors. Children have access to the giant yard, which allows for outdoor classes, picnics, and learning about nature. I liked how the area was also mostly shaded. There are many different toys, sensory items, and games available for children to engage with daily. I am always greeted warmly by staff and can see that they truly love children and adore them as if they were their own. They capture precious photos to share with parents. I can easily communicate by phone, text, email, or through the ProCare app and receive a quick response. I have visited many sites and decided on this one because the facilities felt comfortable, modern, clean, and spacious. Their tuition is also reasonable for the area. Parking is steps to the classroom and is always available making it convenient and safe. The preschool is located inside next to a church away from any main roads and is gated. My family will miss the CAPS team very much as they are truly a gem. They provide a quality program and develop children by preparing them how to socialize and operate in structured and unstructured environments.

Being on the spectrum and dealing with quite a bit of a speech delay, he had struggled for years to find a daycare or pre-school that was the right fit for him. When we did the initial tour, Ms. Rachel and Ms. Laura exuded so much warmth that we immediately felt welcome within the CAPS community. We were so hopeful, but still a little anxious about our son fitting in, so we started with 2 days a week. He immediately took to Ms Nansi in the T-K Tigers classroom. She embraced him with so much love and patience and built that trust with him very early on. He also built a wonderful relationship with his other teacher Ms Emma who was often the one to provide us with his report during pickup. From the first week on, we knew he was in wonderful hands and he began making friends immediately. I think it speaks volumes when your child jumps out of bed with excitement to go to school. 10/10 would recommend Carter Ave!

As we conclude our final week at Action Day Lincoln, I wanted to take a moment to formally express my appreciation for two amazing programs that they hosted. The first was the Multicultural Celebration on 2/19/26. I was pleased to see it organized, but I didn't think I would have time to attend. When I arrived that evening for pick up, our child was excited about trying to visit some of the wonderful stations. We only stayed for a short time, but the experience of my child getting a Passport to get stamped at the different country stations and try food and learn about each country was so positive and uplifting. I was so honored to be a part of the Action Day community beautifully representing the diversity and value that each family brings into it. The second was the Innovation Night on 3/19/26. After the experience of the Multicultural Celebration, I made an effort to ensure we had time to explore and enjoy the experience. We spent more time during this event and it was both fun and informative for the children. I could say more about why these events were so impactful, but I'll simply express that the demonstration of inclusion and innovation were so well organized that I can honestly say that they were the two best events I've attended in the almost 10 years we've been with Action Day. I'd like to thank the entire Action Day Lincoln team for hosting these and any others you'll host in the future! We're so grateful to have found Action Day!

He was in Action Day's infant program from the time he was 5 months until he was 1, then we took a short break and now he's back as a 1.5 years old. I'm writing this review because I had a hard time finding information about how daycares handle food allergies when I was looking through reviews myself. Jamie has done so much to help us feel confident sending our son (who is severely allergic to milk and eggs) to daycare. She worked out plans to keep him safe during meal time when other toddlers are eating his allergens, and ensured staff were all trained in how to handle allergic reactions. She even visited the local fire department to inform them about the severity of his allergies and ensure they were prepared to find their way around the campus should they ever need to. Additionally, our son has a great time every day and all of his teachers have been attentive, warm, professional, and easy to communicate with! Shout out to his current teacher, Miss Maria, who takes extra care to apply lotion to him all day long and does frequent diaper changes to keep his eczema at bay.
