I was on a waitlist for this facility before my little was even born...and I understand why. They…read morecalled me with a vacancy just in time for me to return to work. This daycare is so attentive. They are clean! Shoes off at the door! I love that! They actually love the children and it shows. There's always something for kids and parents to interact. There are curriculums even for the infants so they're always learning. Themed days that I always look forward to. I can call or show up as much as I'd like without feeling like a bother. They have a nice little cozy breastfeeding room for me to use when I come. Playgrounds for the teeny tots on up to the 4 year olds. Although, we don't have access to them all the time (I'd like to), there are cameras everywhere so if you need to see something you can. The app they use makes communication easy throughout the day. When they have the time, I look forward to the random pictures I sometimes get of my little one. I also love how diverse it is here! I was so hesitant and nervous about sending my baby to daycare because of all the horror stories we hear, and obviously nobody loves your baby like you do BUT carousel is a close second. I'd choose them over and over again.

I've been searching for a great daycare in Kenner and Metairie. So far, this is the best one I've…read moretoured in the area. My son started today, they were able to get us in immediately as we just toured and fell in love with Children's Carousel yesterday. Finally our search is over. They have everything we were searching for. The largest playgrounds and plenty of time to play, giant windows that actually face outside, friendly children that said hello to my son on his first day. That was a biggie because my son actually came over to hug and kiss my goodbye, he was comfortable enough for me to leave without a scene! You have to your this school to see everything I've mentioned and more!

My daughter was enrolled here and we loved it! I'm so happy how they were patient with her…read moreemotional behavior and tended to her growth with interacting with other children. We were able to have our specialist for speech come in and that was very accommodating and didn't take away from her growth and learning. I see some bad reviews but it's something you should go in and experience yourself as I had no bad experience with this school.

KinderHaus was a very disheartening and even traumatic experience for our family. I could detail…read morehow terrible this was for us in length, but for any parents looking for a new school here are the highlights: Please only consider KinderHaus if your child is able to self soothe at 1 (which is likely not the case), has a complete control of their emotions at 1 and is able to articulate all of their needs again as a toddler. I would HIGHLY recommend against sending your child here if they experience even the slightest developmental delay because will be dismissed, due to not meeting the director's standards. We were at the school for 10 months and had seen three children dismissed that did not meet this absolutely outrageous requirements of toddlers. If your child requires additional love or care during nap time, this is not the place. Their policy is to call the parents to pick the child up for the day if they cannot sleep during nap. The director informed us she had told the teachers not to lay near or console my child during nap time as he is requiring "too much attention". The teachers are kind, but there is a strong disconnection between teachers and administration. As first time parents we entrusted the school with our baby and were greatly let down by administration. We had been working with the teachers on all fronts for son, who has delayed speech, but the acting director had not engaged in any of this until the day she abruptly released my son from school. We had been called to school because our son was not able to nap (which later found out is not a normal policy). When I arrive the director bombarded me and told me our son was being dismissed from school indefinitely and immediately without any advanced warning. As working parents this quite disruptive our family but more than anything our son had to have an intense change in his routine with no chance for adjustment. There was an apparent disconnection between administration and teachers after a change in administration because even the teacher were surprised by this extreme action. I will be the first to say my family is not perfect, but we are all doing our best. We had thought we had chosen a school that conducts itself with patience and respect, but the actions of its Director/Owner Pat made it very clear we were incorrect. With my son's delayed speech, we had been working with early steps to begin his therapies. We had been giving the teachers constant updates, but his development was not meeting the director's standards. She had told me his dismissal was due to his interruptions in class and outbursts. He had two biting incidents in the 10 months we were there and had been hands on, but we were told by teachers this was normal while his speech was progressing. We received no notes of Pat interacting with my son, and the first day she approached me regarding him was the day she kicked us out of school. She also immediately shared my child's confidential disciplinary actions with another parent, which is in direct violation of state licensing guidelines. I hope this review can help another parent make a decision that is right for your family. In camp and the school my child is now attending since this incident, it has been night and day with the patience and respect we are receiving from not only the teachers but the administration as well. My son attending this school from 12-22 months.

Would not recommend it. The administrators are lost when it comes to providing modern day early…read morechildhood education. I found that parents who recommended it and were satisfied were the ones who sent their kids part-time. This place is definitely not set up for full-time care. After naptime - they just let the kids run around the playground and watch Disney movies - no learning happening after 12pm - my child was so miserably bored we had to make a change.

We moved to New Orleans in January, and we had a hard time finding a school for our then 4-year old…read moreson. LRSH accepted him and we were grateful for that. Unfortunately they only had a spot in the "young 4 year olds", but they promised to make adjustments to accommodate him ( he turned 5 in March ). Summer is approaching, and with both of us being hard-working parents we need full day care. We signed him up for the LRSH summer program and paid our fees, but yesterday they sent us back our cheque stating that they could not deal with our son any longer. No warnings or discussion with us - they simply dropped us out. Now we have to find an alternative for the summer. Long story short: LRSH is ok if you desperately need a place to put your child. However, they are not equipped to teach children or deal with issues that a real school would have certified teachers for. This is a glorified nursing home, and there is no excuse for the way in which they expelled our son without any form of due process

This school is amazing!! So happy that we found it and got in! Our family relocated to River Ridge…read morefrom out of state. Our son doesn't have any siblings so it was important for us to get him into school to interact with others kiddos his age. He loves school so much that he is always the last to leave and occasionally cries as he wants to stay longer. I was really worried about him integrating into a preschool as he's always on the move, I was amazed to see him sit at the table to eat or stay seated at story time. But my son isn't perfect, he gets restless and sometimes wants to get out of a group activity, so his teachers redirect him to complete an activity on his own such as reading a book, taking a break to lie down on a pillow, or giving him sensory toy to play with, etc. It's just so awesome that my son is getting great care with the development he needs. Meanwhile, they use Procare communication app which allows you to connect with the school directors and teachers. Teachers send pics, updates of how my son is doing throughout the day. They have plenty of activities so it's so cute to see pics of him doing art, making crafts, or having in-school field trips, workshops, etc. Finally, I love that my son is well fed. They have catered breakfast and lunches brought in every day from a local restaurant called "Boucherie". This is at any additional cost at $5.25 a day, but well worth it as he is getting a variety of foods and we don't have to stress out about preparing meals and snacks. I love that it's all healthy and homemade, not that processed food drama. I love Excel Early Learning Center. Thank you so much for providing such a loving environment for our son, and the tools he needs to let him explore, discover, and learn. You're simply the best!!

The staff is friendly and very hands-on. My son is now at a different school and is advanced for his grade thanks to Alpha Montessori. I'd recommend this school to anyone.

My son attended this school for about 6 months before I decided to take him out of the school. The…read moreeducators are all female and are wonderful. The school's director, Victoria was great to us and always looked out for my child and others. The kids were disciplined accordingly and taught how to deal with their big feelings. But even though the ladies took good care of the children, the facility needs a serious upgrade. The toddler rooms were kept as clean as they could be kept but there are many things that needed to be updated. The bathrooms for the children for one are horrendous! It always smelled like urine and the lighting was always so dim and the toilets were nasty. The carpets in the some of the rooms needs replacing and there is one room closed off near where the kids had lunch that smelled moldy and you can see the mold on the walls. Also, there were dead roaches in there. I never saw the staff or a cleaning crew clean the toys after closing. There are livestream cameras but it's so outdated you really can't see anything. The video lags and it's pixelated and there's no sound. The curriculum was pretty consistent and standard for the kids but there was nothing really exciting for them to do. The older toddler kids, the teacher would spread dirty mats on the floor and put the kids on the mats with different toys to play individually. I asked one of the staff members if the rugs were washed weekly and was told that they were never washed ever. So that's gross! Some of the electrical outlets were broken and exposed to the children. The toys they play with are very outdated and dirty. You can literally see the layer of dust on all the books on the book case and the inflatable planets hanging from the ceiling. The staff looks overworked though and I've seen many times that it can be too much for them handling so many kids. So I think more educators can alleviate that issue and I think they were working on that. The playground is decent and the lunch area is okay too. Overall the school is okay but because the school needs so many upgrades I really would not recommend it.

This is the first "daycare" my child has ever been to in his life and he started at 2 and a half…read more I've been able to keep him home with me since he was a newborn since I work remotely and have had family help throughout my work days. But now that he's getting older, he needs more stimulation and more activities and more interaction than just being at home with family. So I decided to put him here, part-time. He goes here two days a week And this child development center has been a game changer for him. His speech is getting better, he's learning new words and phrases, and he loves all of the activities and playtime that is scheduled every day that he gets. This place is a little pricey, as it is almost $900 for two days a week, but I can walk there from my house, which is very convenient and he's not even a mile away from me while I'm working, which is important to me. So if there's an emergency, any flooding anything that would make me nervous about him being away from me, I can literally get to him very quickly and pick him up. This place is very much recommended as they are very secure, there is a code you must enter to open the door and they have armed police officers on the property for pick up and drop off. The teachers are very sweet and all of the administrative staff seem to know every child and parent by name. Highly recommended if you are willing to pay for the extra amenities. Oh, and I almost forgot, one of the best things that they have is an actual app where they send a push notifications when their diaper is changed, when they eat and what they eat, and when they take a nap. So you're able to see what your child is doing while you're away.!! And at the end of the day, they give you a detailed report of what activities they did and how they contribute to their developmental progress AND they add pictures of your child doing the activity!!

Can't recommend Kidopolis enough! Our daughter attended from 18 months - 2 years and the only…read morereason we left is that we were able to get into a daycare much, much closer to our house. The staff here was great - they are very up to date in the technology they use. Check-in is quick and easy via computer at the front door, security is tight - there are security officers at the entrance to the parking lot and entering the facility required a code entered into a keypad. The classrooms are well kept up, clean and picked up at the end of each day. I found the teachers to be warm, excited to see the children, and willing to give extra attention when needed. One of the things I really liked was the app they used to post updates throughout the day - meals, diapers, naps and pictures were posted to keep you updated on what your child was doing every day as well as provide drop-off and pick up alerts. In her 6 months there her vocabulary grew immensely, she started learning letters, counting, colors and animals. I felt they were teaching her and not just watching her while I worked.
