We deeply regret recounting our concerning experience with Discoveries Preschool. As professionals…read morewith a background in education and truancy enforcement, our expectations for childcare standards were not met at this establishment. Following our daughter's weekend illness and her subsequent approval to return to daycare on October 31, she endured an entire day of isolation without any notification, a clear violation of the center's policy. Tiff, the Assistant Director, provided documentation that raised alarming inconsistencies with state-mandated reporting requirements. Despite being dropped off at 7:36 am and picked up at 4:30 pm, we received no communication, a direct contradiction to their policy that mandates parents be notified within an hour if a child is isolated due to illness. Furthermore, the provided documentation indicated our daughter was offered water only once at 9:25 am, with no other fluids offered throughout the day. Tiff's speculative explanations, including the possibility of teething, and her overall lack of accountability raise questions about the accuracy of the records. Compounding our dissatisfaction, our attempts to communicate with Gina, the owner, have been unsuccessful. Tiff's lack of knowledge and accountability as the Assistant Director is disconcerting. We prepaid for the month, but upon removing our daughter from the center on October 31, Tiff mentioned only a one-week refund, which we find ethically questionable. Additionally, the documentation stated that they offered our daughter lunch, but it claimed she refused. However, when we checked her lunchbox, her uncrustable sandwich was unopened, indicating neglect and raising doubts about whether she was served her lunch. In light of these concerns and potential breaches of childcare standards, we have filed a formal report with the state authorities to investigate for possible child danger. Tiff's suggestion that our daughter's isolation might be due to a runny nose, combined with the apparent lack of diversity at the center, leaves us deeply concerned. The failure to address our legitimate concerns, provide a comprehensive refund for the remaining period, and the potential neglect of our daughter's nutritional needs underscore the unprofessionalism we experienced. We share our story with the hope that other parents exercise caution in selecting childcare centers, considering the serious issues we encountered at Discoveries Preschool. Our daughter's well-being, adherence to ethical practices, and the provision of diverse and inclusive care should be non-negotiable in any childcare setting. (If anyone is needing comfort in seeing our documentation I am more than happy to provide)

Our daughter has attended the Purple Door D'Andrea campus for over a year and has had a wonderful…read moreexperience! The campus is lovely and perfect for young children; bright colors and loads of fun toys. The school also has a huge backyard to play in with bikes and a playground. The teachers are all kind and knowledgeable and the smaller class sizes ensure plenty of one on one attention. My kiddo has made lots of friends and learned her alphabet and how to write her name and sound out words. I appreciate that there are themes that focus on fairy tales, and pets, and the human body ,and everything else in between. Our daughter is always excited to go to school--I would highly recommend this preschool to anyone looking for a clean, loving environment to send their kiddos.

My husband and I transitioned our 5 year old son after being in a in home daycare to a more 'school…read morebased' care/preschool as he fell along the later Kindergarten kids since his birthday is in October and we were a little too late to enroll him to WCSD Pre-K programs, but also needed something more full-time rather than a 7-12pm timeframe. Purple Door Preschool D'Andrea is located next to my mom's apartment at Eastland , so my husband and I thought it help with drop off and pick ups. I have also had multiple friends mention they love Purple Door. When I first called, they said I could come by anytime during the week to do a tour. So I went with my son and met Mr. T for the first time who showed me the D'Andrea campus . I was impressed with the type of rooms they had, the different themes each month, and the 'curriculum' they offered for the kids , especially for the 4/5 year olds who are about to go into Kinder. We made the decision to officially transition our son around October time and my son was really excited. So far with my experience with this school, I had concerns at first with the transition and my son making friends as he met some of his closer friends at his old daycare . Everything was good so far, but my son did have an issue he expressed to me about another kid who supposedly not as nice to my son. I mentioned my concerns to the teachers about the other child targeting my son, however the teacher explained that the other child did have some problems with other kids also and fair enough my son can have a lot of energy too and is still working on his boundaries as a 5 year old. That was the beginning of my sons time with PurpleDoor but have not heard anymore problems with the other child after that. They also got the cubbies confused on my sons first day of school where we had an awkward situation with another parent about my sons cubby being incorrect . It was an easy resolve though, and it all worked out at the end. My son has been able to spell his name, his last name, and progress more with his cognitive learning since being at PurpleDoor and I've been happy with all the other extra curriculum they've done at the school like their winter performances and right now their soccer shots that I just enrolled my son on Tuesdays till March. This is a school where you do have to provide your own lunches for your kids but they have parties every now and then. They do also follow WCSD calendar, so anytime the schools are closed are when PurpleDoor is closed along with winter delays or fire days , but they do communicate with you over the BrightWheel app and emails regarding any closure or delays. Every month you are required to bring a Costco size snack for the kiddos as they provide the snacks and fresh fruit for them. Finally this is a tuition based school with different cost for part time and full time care along with before and after school care. As a first time parent, I do recommend to look at all your options for care especially if you have a 4/5 year old because there are Pre-K programs for WCSD as long as there is room and not tuition based and depending on your location in NNV other preschools may offer till 6pm care without paying an addition cost for after school care. But I do recommend PurpleDoor Preschool as the teachers are great, the curriculum is good, and my 5 year old son absolutely loves it.

I proceeded to tell her that that was not my child. I have a daughter. She seemed confused. I repeated my daughter's name. She said "yeah, this is him". I said no.. that's not mine. I have a daughter. Not a son. She finally was able to get my daughter to me. Had I been some weirdo/creep, I could've easier walked away with that little boy. As if you need even more of a reason to avoid this place... the staff here is terrible to the kids. My daughter would always cry and hated going to Pebbles. I later found out that her teacher was constantly yelling at her and the other kids in her class. She was terrified of her and GOD knows how she was treating those poor kids. I've asked my daughter repeatedly if she was ever hit or grabbed by her teacher and she denies that BUT I did see her teacher roughly pull and shake a child in her class while she yelled at the poor crying little girl. I immediately withdrew my daughter after witnessing that. I spoke to a staff member about that incident and she admitted that that teacher is constantly yelling at the kids and is really rough with them. We ended up paying for a few weeks without even taking our daughter in because we were just so uncomfortable with the whole situation. Please do NOT send your kids here!!

The staff is kind, caring, and has a genuine love for the children and parents that you don't see often. The communication is never lacking and if there is an issue, the full staff is there supporting you through it. We love it so much I didn't even attempt to put my second child in day care until she was ready for Summit. Imagine taking your child to a preschool where they are willing to work on the same things you are working on at home, whatever that may be, listening, sharing, telling the truth, good bathroom habits, you name it and the team will help you. I can't wait to see what this amazing team does with the nursery they are opening. I'm so thankful families will have the opportunity to start their kiddos there at an early age.
