If your looking for a school with some of the highest tuition in town. That will provide you and your child with a terrible experience. With a curriculum and staff that never comes close to justifying there price. With ownership and staff that are nothing but rude, unprofessional, incompetent and really just do not care? Than this is it. Management/ownership is lead by a woman named Liz. Who is about as unfriendly and rude as they come. She will give you nothing but a arrogant, condosending attitude. Is terrible with dealing with customers/parents. No clue how to speak to adults in a professional, polite tactful manner. She is beyond a nightmare to deal with on anything. Just your average run-of-the-mill know it all, never wrong types that we all deal with. But now I'm actually paying to be treated like this. The curriculum in the class continues to decline. It's a unimaginative and out dated. I remember when I received the monthly calendar for my child's class. For the entire month there wasn't one activity or special event planned for the children. Not one! Other than there show and tell day. I couldn't believe it. They hire nothing but 20-year-old kids who care more about playing on their phones then taking care of your children. The turnover is unreal. People are constantly quitting or getting fired. That provides a complete lack of consistency and stability for the kids. All they care about is hiring the cheapest labor they can get not the best. Ownership/management has zero appreciation for your business they literally treat you like it's a free public school. People like myself were paying anywhere from $600-800 a month. Money that pays their salary and keeps them in business. Just clueless how to treat their paying customers. Reality is imagination station is a business that provides a service for a fee. We are paying customers that deserve to be treated with respect, politeness and professionalism. That business model is completely lost on them. Liz and staff display blatant favoritism and sexism towards men/dads. This coming from a mother with a ex who's a great dad. I am the default automatically for everything because I'm a woman/mother. They will call the mother first always I've heard it and I've experienced it. They always contact me 1st for everything,will give me extra information and treat me so much better than they treat my ex for no reason. I get text messages from the management and staff about my child. Little cute things about my child's day. They will not and have not done that for my ex? That's not right. So look out dads. Management/staff will gossip and spread lies and rumors about parents to other staff and other parents. Heard it first hand. Really sad. Let's also not talk about how there technology for customers is antiquated. Their website is a complete joke you can't check on your child's account you cant make payments! Its horrible. There is zero updated useful information for parents. If you want to make a payment you have to go into the school to a little tiny credit card machine that it looks like they stole it from a hotdog stand at a football game and make your payment. Pathetic. The level of technology they make available would make "grandma's sunshine daycare "run out of somebody's garage embarrassed. I know I've gone on for a bit here but as a mother and knowing other parents will read this. Do yourself and more importantly your child a favor and make a better choice. I have a friend who's actually part of a very large teachers association in the Reno/Sparks. She teachers at one of the public elementary schools in the same area as imagination station. She told me that everything they hear about imagination station for a awhile now has been really negative. The kids coming out of the school aren't even close to being prepared and ready to go. That before when you knew a child was coming from imagination station you knew you were getting kid I've been schooled really well so far but not anymore. This school will not provide your child with a wonderful educational experience they deserve. You will never come close to getting the return on investment your making for your child. There are so many better choices for your children, learn from my mistake. T.. read more

I am going to start off by saying there is no way ISLC should have more than 5 stars!! I toured several daycares after my son was born and I will never forget the day I toured ISLC with Miss Jenny. When I left ISLC I was excited for my son to go there! We waited for 15 months and all I can say is it was worth the wait. My son started ISLC as a butterfly and now 3 years later he is a Koala. He was very shy and has just blossomed, especially in his current classroom. He loves his teachers, talks about them all the time! ISLC is not just a daycare, this is a teaching institution that teaches our children to be kind, read books, and most of all the love of learning. Currently my son is learning about the solar system and tells me about all the planets. He is excited to learn because his teachers are excited to teach him! Covid really changed the way we can participate with our children's education and ISLC has done a tremendous job of keeping the parents in the loop of how our child is doing. They took, in my opinion, a huge step up to keep our children safe and I am so grateful that my son is safe every day! If you are looking for a place to send your children please think about ISLC. The teachers and all staff are amazing. Go see Miss Jenny, and Miss Kathy and get on that wait list! You will not be disappointed! read more

My children have been going to imaginationation station for about 12 years. Over that time, the staff members have become more like extended family. They truly care about the well being of the children and thier families. The kindergarten program is amazing. There is an event called kinder Cafe that everyone who has ever been fortunate enough to attend will remember forever Every year, at all levels, there are adorable christmas performances. They were so creative during covid in finding ways for kids to continue learning in fun and meaningful ways. There is no where else I would choose to send my children. read more

I worked here from 04/2019-08/2019 and I loved every minute of it. It was a great flexible job to get on my feet after having a baby. My daughter who was 2 at the time started going there. She didn't talk and Imagination Station stepped up to a level I cannot even thank them for. My daughter is still going there and they are her family. She is fully talking, knows her colors, 1-20 her abc's and many many songs. My daughter is a whole new person and it is all thanks to this school and the excellent teachers and staff. Ms. Cathy and Ms. Jenny are world class amazing kids people. Love this school so so much!!!! read more

Love this facility!! Between both of our girls we have been with this amazing learning family for 12years and couldn't be happier. Always very informative of any upcoming events or closures and extremely fair pricing. There was never a day my girls were not happy to go to school or the after school program. Super clean facility that did whatever they had to do during Covid to stay open so parents could still go to work while keeping the kids safe and healthy. Every morning we are greeted at our car with happy smiling faces!! Imagination station has the best owner, best management and best teachers!!!!! read more

ISLC is like an extended family to us over the past 8 years. We have two kids, one who started at 3 years old and one at 6 weeks old. Our oldest also attended Kindergarten through 2nd grade and our youngest will be starting Kindergarten this upcoming school year. I could not ask for a better place to care for my kids while my husband and I are working. The opportunities allotted to the children here are beyond amazing and the all of the staff and teachers are phenomenal. I highly recommend ISLC not only for childcare needs but for their educational program. read more

We love Imagination Station! We have been with ISLC for the past 5 years with my two children. ISLC never closes for a snow day (like other daycares in the area) or call a delayed start. When the school district has a smoke day or snow day, they open their doors for any of their school aged children that attend before or after care. It is fantastic for working parents!! The teachers in both of my daughters' classes have been consistent over the years. The consistency in staff makes me feel safe and my daughter excited to go to school every day. read more

My son has been going to Imagination Station for over 5 years. In that time, I have been thoroughly impressed with the quality of care he has received from every staff member. Not only was he in their preschool program, but he has been a part of their elementary school program for Kindergarten and First Grade. ISLC believes in hands-on experiences and learning which has helped my son thrive and enjoy school. I am thankful to drop my son off every morning knowing that he is being taught and cared for by a staff who truly loves kids. read more

Both of my daughters have attended ISLC from newborn care through 2 grade, one is still in first grade there and I could not be happier with their over all experience. It is such a great experience my daughters always looked forward to "going to school." My oldest has since moved on to public school and is way ahead of the rest of her class. They just had their playgrounds re-done, the inside is clean and inviting and the way they handled the pandemic was very professional and well done. I highly recommend this place!! Chris read more

My son has been going here for 5 years and my daughter since she was 2 months old. The teachers are fantastic and can handle anything with the kids. My son is now in the second grade classroom and has the best teacher. My daughter is in the baby room and the teachers in there are wonderful and take such great care of the babies. I never worry about my kids when they are there. The directors communicate well with families and are always helpful. read more

My son started in August. He enjoys going to school! Everyday he comes home with something new he has learned. This school focuses on structured curriculum. It isn't a place where children are dropped off to be watched all day long. The teachers are devoted to making learning fun! It was recommended to me from other family and friends to enroll here and I would recommend it for anyone as well! read more

My kids have been coming here for years. The owner is always helpful and she taught both my boys in kindergarten. The staff is great with the kids and they always communicate with parents and handle tough situations quickly. My kids have gone through multiple classrooms and all have been amazing. I would and have recommended imagination station to all of my friends with kids. read more

My daughter does to Imagination Station. I love them! the staff is fantastic and the curriculum is above what I expect. She was potty trained at 19 months and at 2 years, she knew her shapes, colors, ABC's, numbers and more. One owner is a school teacher and one is a registered nurse and between the two, they run a wonderful business. I would recommend ISLC 100%!! read more

This is an incredible school for kids of all ages. The daycare program is amazing. They have K-2nd school too. My kid did kindergarten there and it was incredible. Small class, multiple teachers and plenty of support. It's great because they also have before/after care and camps for breaks. Highly recommend!! read more
