The school prior this one seemed okay, but everyone there was rude and unhappy (which is why we made the switch.) I searched high and low for options that would be able to accommodate my three children, and honestly this was not my first choice initially only because of the direction (I was used to going toward 99 not back toward Rayford). I'm so glad I took a chance on this place anyway, because it is wonderful! My children are not morning people but they wake up excited and are happy to go to school! The campus is much smaller than our last and it feels more intimate and is much more friendly. During my tour, several kiddos came out of their classes to hug the staff member giving me the tour (a genuine response that I'll admit sealed the deal for me) and everyone is friendly and happy. The pricing is very reasonable for the quality of the curriculum and the staff, and they have different billing options too! There is a great play room in the center that encourages imagination and is just so cute. Their outdoor area is fully fenced with alarms, and has a covered area, and they even have a splash pad that the kids get to use in the summer. There are no live cameras, but in my experience facilities with live cameras have less friendly staff. (Is it just me that has noticed this?) They do have an app where I have been sent so many photos and details through out the day. So many photos in one day alone - more than I ever received for an entire month at the last place! All the kids seem happy and are smiling and there's a lot of diversity among the students. Happy staff = happy kids The facility is also in a safe area that backs to private residences and is in walking distance of a pediatric dentist. Traffic isn't terrible getting to or leaving from the school. I am so glad we made the switch and I highly recommend this center. Due to Covid, kiddos have their temps taken daily at entry, and parents aren't allowed in. This is expected to change, but who knows when that will be. For now, even though there is sometimes a slight wait to have the screening done in the morning, it's not bad at all and you can tell the staff is trying to be as efficient as possible.

My child was kicked by another student and bullied. The last straw was when my child had an asthma attack and the school called to have me pick them up or bring medication. I informed them that I had an inhaler onsite along with the medical form. The assistant director never registered my child's medical information in the system so no one at the daycare was aware of the child's medication being available for them. Staff and leadership were dismissive and lacking professionalism. Most incidents were never reported or documented leading to a lack of transparency and accountability.

Apparently he was kicked out because he opened the door leading from his classroom to the playground and strayed outside. I asked and was told that the door cannot be locked from the inside the classroom to prevent kids from straying into the playground. Apparently the class is too large that their staff cannot stop or prevent 3 year olds from straying outside. They exercised zero patience for a 3 year old autistic child and kicked him out. I will be filing a discrimination complaint with the proper authorities because I feel like the poor kid is being discriminated against for his disability. So buyer beware.

Words truly can't express how grateful we are for this Montessori school. Moving our twins here was…read morea big change from their previous program, and the difference has been remarkable. Their growth -- academically, socially, and emotionally -- has exceeded every expectation. The teacher‑to‑student ratio is exactly what young learners need. Each child receives thoughtful attention, support, and guidance, and you can see the impact in their confidence and development. The campus itself is calm, kid‑friendly, and has that peaceful, "zen" feeling that makes learning feel natural. Update: Our twins are now heading into kindergarten, and the foundation this school gave them is incredible. They're already comfortable with addition and subtraction, reading, and writing -- skills they learned here through hands‑on Montessori methods. We also love how much the school celebrates community and childhood joy. They host trunk‑or‑treat for Halloween, Thanksgiving feasts, Christmas parties, Valentine's celebrations -- all the fun moments kids look forward to. For Mother's Day and Father's Day, the children make the sweetest photo cards holding letters that spell "Mom" and "Dad." Those gifts have become treasured keepsakes in our home. The school even brings in Santa Claus for pictures during the holidays, which our twins absolutely adored. This is a true Montessori school. Don't let other reviews sway you -- our experience has been nothing short of wonderful.

Do not leave your child in this businesses care. We started the first week of 2021- prior to…read morestarting my daughter was in the care of my mother. I worked at home and we are extremely cautious with covid. My daughter got covid the first week starting at this center and found out later on that the staff told other parents that my daughter "gave it to everyone" even though the teacher had just gone on vacation and tested positive but wasn't showing symptoms... whatever. So needless to say we started off on a bad foot but unfortunately there was no light at the end of the tunnel. My daughter had extreme blistering diaper rash in their care. I would get it cleared up over the weekend and it was clockwork by Tuesday she had it again. When you put your 1 year old in their car seat and they scream at the top of their lungs because their butt is literally raw it's infuriating. I would say something in the morning when dropping her off, I would call during the day, I would email and NOTHING changed until I threatened to pull her from their care. She is at a new center and has NEVER had diaper rash since being in the new facilities care. They have an app that i thought would be fantastic....how great to receive photos of your child all day and get updated on how they are doing. Wrong! I would get an update of what she ate that day and sometimes they would also send a picture of her eating. Well, the photo never matched what it said she was eating which was extremely concerning. I understand that when a toddler starts daycare they are going to get sick a lot. But in the 5 months of us being in their care my daughter was always sick. Parents weren't notified if kids in the class were sick. My daughter threw up in her crib one night and had a horrible stomach bug (which then our entire house got) but after she was better and I brought her back the lady at the front said "oh she got it too".... I was in shock. Our new facility lets us know if any kid in the entire school gets sick and what it is-parents are notified in the app and on the front door of the center. The learning experience only notified us when it was covid. If it wasn't covid, good luck and be prepared to use a lot of your work sick time. A couple of reasons I think my daughter may have been sick all of the time could have been because I would send her to school with her cup LABELED because I do what I'm supposed to and they send her out with another child's cup. I get it kids may drink out of another kids cup but it didn't only happen once, it happened all of the time. She came home in other kids clothes(I had 3 changes of clothes there) , with other kids sheets(they had 2 extra sheets) - which is also extremely frustrating when you do label everything and then you don't get your stuff back because it went home with another kid but they don't know who. The kicker and what made me pull her from their care was for the 2nd time I picked her up and she smelt like poop when I was putting her in her car seat. The minute I got home I changed her and she had a clean diaper but she had poop in her pants. Mind you she had 3 changes of clothes as backup.... So you are telling me my poor baby has been in poopy clothes for who knows how long. She has been sitting on toys, chairs, the floor....her poo particles were on everything. NO WONDER she was always sick. I called immediately when I saw and the teacher said she didn't notice. This was the second time it had happened and the next day I emailed them letting them know she wouldn't be returning. As a new mom you don't know what to expect and what is "acceptable". I didn't know if I was overreacting so I asked friends and none of them could believe the standard of the learning experiences care. The reason we chose this center was because of the tour Ms. Jessica gave us- she made us feel at home and you could really see the passion she had. Unfortunately Ms. Jessica isn't the one watching your children. If you say anything to Ms. Courtney good luck on that information being relayed to the people that need to know about it. Oh and good luck on getting your emails returned- that was always like pulling teeth. I highly recommend you keep looking for care elsewhere!

From the second you walk in you are greeted like family by Ms. Mimi, Ms. Justice and Ms. Allyssa. Every teacher knows my son's name and he loves them all, especially Ms. Irene who comes running to give him a hug everyday. My son was potty trained in no time at all with very few accidents which makes me feel comfortable that he is constantly monitored and cared for. He's speech is amazing, he can count in two languages, and is already reading and writing! When we pick him up from school he can't wait to tell us about all the fun he had with his friends and his teachers. They also have monthly events which are so much fun, like box car parades, Valentines Day parties, Easter egg hunts to name a few, which are a great opportunity to meet some of the other parents and share stories. From personal experience we as parents have always been treated like family, and the director, Ms. Allyssa, is always happy to go above and beyond to help us. The communication from the school is great, and I love getting the picture updates during the day. We normally get between 8 -12 photos and videos a day. We enrolled our son after a TERRIBLE experience at Primrose of Champions where we discovered that he wasn't being feed, and watched a teacher shove our then 13 month old to the ground. I shared the story with Ms. Allyssa and her fantastic team and they were so great about it. I sat in the reception for the first few days that he was enrolled and watched the camera in his classroom. I saw nothing but kindness and love showered on my baby, and that made my mommy heart so happy. If you want your kids to get a great education backed by love and support then this is a great option. We have chosen not to move to a new house because we refuse to take our son out of Prescolaire. Thank you Ms. Allyssa and staff for loving my boy as much as we do.
