I adore this preschool and everyone involved in it. Here's a list of why: -The people who work here love kids. It seems like a no brainier but at many preschools the teachers don't really like kids and get annoyed, fed up, whatever with them. I get that kids (especially toddlers!) can be a bit of an ummmm...challenge. And I love kids but honestly would not have the patience to deal with 12-15 of them all day long. So it's really saying something to me when I pick up the boy that they aren't at the door trying to punt him to me. The teachers are patient and kind and truly love your child like they are family. -Field tripping. We go on just a few field trips each year but they rock. One is right across the street to the fire station. If you have a little boy you will see pure unabated joy in his eyes on this field trip. Little girls like it a lot too. Moms REALLY like it. :) Another great field trip is the annual dentist one where the kids learn all about good oral hygiene and get new tooth brushes. -This is a preschool, not a daycare. Kids are expected learn here. There are lessons everyday. My son, who starts kindergarten in the fall of 2014, knows his address, phone number, how to write his name, all of the days of the week, the months and can read several words all by himself. Not even in kindergarten yet. Need I say more?

My daughter is excited to go to school and excited to come home and tell me all about her day and what she did. I am truly grateful for her being able to go here.

It is always beautifully decorated which makes it feel very cheerful and inviting! I have been to many other preschool centers and they always seem uninviting and cold (that is not the case at Little Camellia). The ladies that work there are some of the loveliest people I have ever meet. You can tell they love what they're doing and they love the children. It has 6 classrooms and a very nice playground with slides, swings, riding toys, sand table and a lot more. The classrooms have cubbies for every child, group tables, and different educational centers set up. When we arrive we are always greeted by someone and have to check in and out. I have walked into other preschools where no one has ever stop or questioned me (that did not feel safe). When I've come at naptime there are always teachers in the classrooms watching the children and working on lesson plans. The Little Camellia Schoolhouse is a PRESCHOOL that focuses on learning! They have daily BIBLE, MATH, READING, and SCIENCE lessons. I love The Little Camellia Schoolhouse because it is NOT a daycare where I drop my kids off and they do nothing all day and all the workers do is feed them meals and let them run around, and unlike most centers I get to provide my children with a healthy lunch with things I know they like to eat, instead of them eating whatever is served that day (or not eating because they are a little picky). The tuition is very reasonable compared to the other centers in this area. Having had different experiences with other preschool centers in the Slidell area I wouldn't send my children anywhere else!

One of the managers Jessica is a phenomenal person. I was very nervous since this was my daughters 1st time in daycare; she has always answered my calls & has even called me to tell me how she is doing.

Hannah who watches the one year olds. she is so sweet and you can tell how much she enjoys her job and how much love she has for these babies! This daycare also does pictures regularly with professional photographers which I appreciate so much with being a single mother and not having the time go out and get them done myself. All of the teachers work with the children as well, and make holidays special for them! My kids love it here!

Our little comes home just happy as can be telling us about her day and time with her friends and teachers. It's a blessing. The staff is very easy to get along with and very understanding to your needs. Mary is exceptional. Every teacher that our daughter has had here has be absolutely perfect. Miss Caroline had made her so excited to go to school even more than she already was. They learn so much and have some pretty good meals. If you want a GREAT daycare to send your little to that will teach them great things and have the absolute best time in the world then send them here.

And the fact that they "couldn't handle" our barely two year old daughter crying because she is in a COMPLETELY new environment since her Original daycare unexpectedly closed down two weeks prior. She was scared and they told us, "we can't help her here but maybe our sister school can" when in fact it was the same lady who owns and operates the school she wanted to send us to. Don't you think the problem is still going to be there? The cameras in the building and classrooms are a great thing for many reasons. It's also how we caught this woman being aggressive to our child along with others children. Then had the audacity to act like nothing is wrong and talk bad about you when you report it. When looking over the footage the management saw nothing wrong and just said that she was fixing another Childs clothes. I don't know about you but I defiantly didn't know fixing another chips clothes entailed them picking said child up by their clothes straps and shaking them. but that's just me I guess. We had removed our daughter immediately since in the EXACT same day she was changing a child on the floor and a nearly two year old, who is more curious than ever for any kid at that age, was pushed quite harshly when already crying and wanted to be comforted. I will NEVER EVER recommend anyone to take their child to this daycare. If you want great care for your child DO NOT put them here. It's funny that miracle is her name because it is a MIRACLE that she is even Able to "teach" and be allowed to handle other peoples children. Side note, our daughter went to a new daycare two weeks after and cried for two days and that was it. Never cried again and was extremely excited to go to her new school.

Let me preface this by saying, my husband is a civil engineer and I'm a web developer. We are…read morereasonable, well-educated people who are not the types to leave reviews, but our experience with this daycare was so bad we feel inclined to offer some insight into those considering this facility. Most importantly, we want to warn other parents who love their child as much as we love ours about some potential problems. Personally, I wish I had gone with my gut instinct when on my son's first day no teacher bothered to let me know how he did, or even approached me, when I picked him up from the preschool, because they all were too busy sitting at a picnic bench while the big and little kids all played outside. Numerous times we discussed switching throughout our experience with this daycare, but we wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt since as mentioned above, I feel like we are reasonable people. Here are the major issues we found to be point of concerns from our experience here: 1) Understaffed: There is a promised class-size ratio, and it seems like at certain times of day what is allowed by the state (7:1) was certainly surpassed in the toddler class. Even if it wasn't, teachers often seemed overwhelmed by large groups in the toddler class - one even letting us know she could not keep an eye on all of them. The lead teacher of our son's class even recommended searching for a facility with smaller class sizes when we brought up to her we were seriously considering removing our child. 2) Low-quality staff: There were a couple of teachers who were approachable and experienced, but for the most part, many were impersonal at best or seemed to lack basic knowledge one expects from a childcare worker on basic developmental phases. When any issues arose, as one can expect from the 1-2 year old range, we were often told by professional childcare workers that "I don't know what to do" which is an absurd thing to hear about basic developmental stuff with toddlers. This is not rocket science, but takes patience, staff, and close supervision. 3) Apparent lack of supervision: Often older children would wonder from room to room with no sort of supervision. This facility even has been reported for this issue, where one student stapled another students without the staff being aware: http://carefacility.doe.louisiana.gov/BlasPDF/SOD_08012018_50918_609720.pdf "1713 A Supervision: Children were not under supervision at all times as: On 7/16/18, O1 discovered a staple in C1's right thumb. According to O1, he picked C1 up from the center around 4 pm and they went home. O1 was washing C1's hands and discovered the staple in C1's right thumb. O1 took C1 to the Emergency Room where the staple was removed. According to S3, she gave C1 the stapler to hold while they were working on a class project. S3 does not know when C1's thumb was stapled. According to S3, C1 did not say anything and did not indicate he was hurt in any way. S3 was unaware of the staple in C1's thumb until notified by S2 of the incident around 4pm-4:30 pm. C1 was not closely supervised while C1 held a stapler since a staple was in his thumb and staff was not aware that a staple was in C1's thumb." From my personal experience, I noticed often when I came early to pick up my son that teachers would be just sitting and sometimes looking at their smart phones. Due to the lack of supervision, there were frequent "incidents" from bites, falls, and scratches. This is normal toddler behavior but given the frequency it is hard for me to believe the facility is adequately staffed, or if it is, that the staff are paying close enough attention. When I told other childcare workers about what happened at our gym daycare and other friends, this was their exact response, the facility is obviously not hiring enough teachers or hiring the right teachers.
