My son had a half dollar size bruise. This is what Heidi McCaskey, the Director at Lionsgate Child…read moreDevelopment Center, and Glenda Combs (Regional Director for Apple Tree Academies) allow to happen in their care. This is the third time he has been bit by the SAME, KNOWN, biter. He has bitten multiple children, on multiple occasions, over a lengthy period of time. His own teachers call him "the piranha". But yet, because I was upset, and thought they weren't doing enough to protect the children from him, was told "it's not a good fit". We've been there for over a year, and I would challenge them to produce one teacher in that facility that doesn't enjoy my son. But I have heard all kinds of negative comments about the other one. And because he has a difficult home situation, he gets a pass. I'm so heartbroken that my son is being punished. I have even swallowed every bit of pride and practically begged to stay. But "it's not a good fit" because I'm the squeaky wheel. RE: Jamie L's review There is not anything else to the story. The reason I wanted to stay was because I have an anxiety problem and don't deal well with change. The thought of having to introduce my son to new teachers the week before I had to go out of town for work was overwhelming to me, and I had a moment of weakness thinking that staying at Lionsgate would have been the better choice. I am SOOO glad that I didn't get the opportunity to follow through with that. My son has thrived in his new school, and has not been bitten even one time. We are incredibly happy where we are at, and still maintain a relationship with some of the teachers from Lionsgate so that my son can still have them in his life. I NEVER had a problem with the teachers; my problem was always and only with the lack of action by Heidi McCaskey and Glenda McCombs.

Where to begin with the review??…read more I had the pleasure of bringing my two kids here at an early age. After meeting the assistant director (now director, Heidi McCaskey) I knew I was in the right place. Not only was she super friendly, the teachers seemed great during my walk through! I pulled my kids out of another daycare for issues that they couldn't handle and put them here at lionsgate! Best decision of mine and my kids life. I have never had any issues with the staff and have been there for 5 years. As for the last review, why would you beg to come back if you hate this place?? Seems a little silly you hate the place and yet beg to stay, Just my opinion!! There is obviously more to this situation that is untold. I think it is unfortunate that Heidi is made out to be this terrible person when she has been nothing but awesome to our family. Maybe she cares more about the children and tries to find solutions rather than just kicking them out.

I have waited a few months to write my review so I could get a good "feel" for this facility. Our…read moreinfant started at Kids R Kids in February and we have had an amazing experience. Not only have each of his teachers taken the time to get to know us as a family, but I feel like everyone at the facility knows my child and is genuinely happy to see him come in each day. We are always greeted with a smile and each staff member knows him by name and is eager to take care of him each day. Lines of communication are kept open throughout the day through an app where we are updated in real time about what's going on. Live cameras are on, so I can see him while he's there. Every time I peep in the teachers are busy at work engaging the babies. I never see them sitting down or "resting" they always have a baby in their arms. There is a structured lesson plan sent each week and a craft sent home almost weekly, which is hard to do in a class full of infants. My point being, he is well engaged at school. If there is a question or concern his teachers reach out immediately, and each time I have called with a question or concern my needs are addressed immediately in real time. I can't sing their praises enough. The owner is on site daily and knows each child by name. She is easy to get in touch with and has answered every question or has handled any concern I have sent her way. Ms. Nevelyn at the front desk is always eager to help us as well. The facility is also very clean, and the outdoors is completely turfed, so I don't worry about little critters crawling all over him in the grass outside. We have grown very attached to Kids R Kids, and i trust them to take care of our child while we work each day. They are responsive, respectful, and kind to my child. I know he is safe and well taken care of at Kids R Kids.

Everyone genuinely seems like they care for my child. I love how you don't smell anything when you walk into the school either. Price range is a bit more than other schools but it is well worth it in my opinion for the care and "amenities" (if you will) you receive. I recommend this school to anyone looking for more of a regular schedule and real curriculum for their child - sounds rigorous but it's a play based school and they learn so much through play!
