Most importantly, they know how to encourage the kids to learn. My kid learned a lot during her time there. She even tried herself to play a few advanced pieces for recitals over the years. She out grew the school after a couple of years with Ms Leah and Hannah. It's too bad they don't offer 1-1 lessons. I was sad to pull her out for 1-1 lessons now. But, I strongly recommend Do Re Mi for young beginners!

The Orchards Childcare and Preschool is better than I could have imagined a childcare center could…read morebe. I currently have my two children enrolled at the Orchards. I am particularly impressed with how the caregivers and teachers take a genuine interest in the progress and lives of each of the children in their class. Whenever I've had questions, the Orchards Director has been easy to reach and prompt in her responses. The classrooms have been recently renovated and are kept clean. There is a good variety of age appropriate and safe toys in all of the classrooms. Security is well maintained with video monitoring, keypad access to facilities and fenced outdoor play areas. I love the phone application that they use for the secure check in and out procedure, as well as the photo updates throughout the day. Their Junior Kindergarten class is quite robust in its educational curriculum. The lead Junior Kindergarten teacher has been teaching young students for over 20 years, I believe. I'm honestly impressed at the progress my four year old has made behaviorally and educationally. They also have done a great job at offering events throughout the year. Kids Christmas program, picture days, Easter egg hunts, "pumpkin patch" etc. I couldn't recommend the Orchards more.

After six months of my child attending this daycare (Kennydale Kindercare), I feel I have gained a…read morethorough understanding of how this facility operates. As a concerned parent, I have made the decision to withdraw my child and enroll her elsewhere. I believe it is important to share the reasons behind this decision, as they reflect significant concerns regarding care and cleanliness. Key Concerns Toy Cleaning Practices Although the daycare claims that toys are wiped down after each use, I have repeatedly observed otherwise. On several occasions, I witnessed children putting toys in their mouths without those toys being cleaned afterward. Additionally, many toys I have handled felt sticky and had hair stuck to them, which raises serious hygiene concerns. Hand Washing Standards Proper hand washing is essential for preventing illness. While there is a sink in the classroom, I have noticed there is no soap available. Washing hands with water alone is insufficient to stop the spread of disease and infection. Communication Barriers On multiple evenings, there is only one caregiver present, which is understandable when fewer children remain. However, I have found it impossible to communicate about incidents or concerns because the caregiver does not speak English. This language barrier makes it extremely difficult to address important matters regarding my child's well-being. Frequent Illnesses Over the past six weeks, the daycare has experienced a concerning number of illnesses, including rotavirus, chickenpox, hand, foot, and mouth disease, and pinworms. My child has missed approximately one week out of every four due to these outbreaks. When I raised these concerns, I was told that "it's the same in every daycare." However, after contacting other local daycares (such as Kiddie Academy and Goddard), I found that they do not have similar issues. Lack of Professional Cleaning Unlike other daycares, your facility does not employ professional cleaners. Other centers have nightly professional cleaning routines, which help maintain a safe and sanitary environment for the children. Also, every time I picked her up from daycare, she had snot and other things all over her face, it doesn't appear that they pay attention and wipe it's not off their face while when I pick up my child from daycare from another facility, her face is always clean. As parents, we entrust our children's safety and well-being to daycare providers. Given these ongoing concerns, I could not continue to leave my child in this environment. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and leads to improvements for the benefit of all children in this daycare.

It has been so obvious how much they truly care for every kid. The state of the property can only be described as "magical". The children have the opportunity to play and learn outside, gardening, taking care of animals, and learning real-life skills through play. Our son has grown academically, learning to read and write...as well as just as a person - learning patience, sharing, regulating his emotions, etc. They also focus on healthy foods and habits and teaching a good foundation for how to take of your body and the earth. Something that matters a lot to me in addition to all the other things is cleanliness. The property inside and out is extremely well cared for and safe. All kids wash their hands on arrival and many times throughout the day - and they always keep parents in the loop if something is "going around". I would recommend Village Learning to anyone who wants a magical upbringing for their kids...a true home away from home for them.

This place is amazing. The first daycare my children were placed in was terrible and I was…read morereluctant to place my girls in another one. However, from the beginning Alexandra was patient and was willing to address any concerns I had about my previous experience. My oldest daughter had a speech delay which made her behavior - challenging. This didn't intimidate Alexandra though, who immediately began looking into ways she could continue to support my daughter while in her care. When that same daughter left for kindergarten, she was ahead of her peers academically - being able to write her entire alphabet and knowing all the letters and sounds they made. My youngest daughter is still in her care and, when I gave Alexandra feedback about some ways she could better support kids who were going into kindergarten, she listened to the feedback and made thoughtful changes to the curriculum that that future children will be even better prepared. However, she doesn't just take feedback from me. I know that other parents are able to express any concerns they have and Alexandra listens and implements any changes as necessary. She loves the kids in her care and always has their best interests in mind. I must note, while Alexandra is absolutely amazing - she cannot do it alone. But that's not a cause for concern! When she recently expanded her daycare, she was very thoughtful about the staff she brought in. Eunice, Amanda and Davika, her assistants, are also phenomenal. In fact, thanks to them, I think her expansion went off without a hitch and she successfully expanded her center! If you're looking for a daycare, I know a spot will open up when my youngest goes off to kindergarten this fall - I'd get on her wait list now. You won't be disappointed!

My child was one of the oldest kids and the teacher taught her leadership skills, and helpfulness with younger children. I loved the way the teacher helped my daughter solve problems. Whenever there was a small issue, it never felt like a big deal because it was solved in the classroom, and my child felt empowered to learn how to solve her own problems in a loving way.

Watching his growth over these past few months has been amazing, and we owe so much of that to the wonderful, caring staff. When he first started, it was a big transition--he had been home with me since birth, and adjusting to a new environment and new caregivers was tough. He cried a lot and had trouble napping at first. But the staff was so patient and gentle with him through it all. Their support and consistency helped him feel safe and loved, and it made all the difference. Now, he's excited to go to school--he even runs into the classroom and forgets to say goodbye! As a parent, there's nothing better than knowing your child feels happy, secure, and cared for. Thank you to everyone at Bright Horizons at Longacres for helping him grow into such a confident little person. We are so grateful.

If you look at the staff picture wall by the entrance only a handful of teachers have been there longer than a year. We also noticed that staff can be very stressed at times due to being shuffled around from class to class. We finally left (intending it to be temporary) due to our second child being born. Our son had his pictures taken right before we gave our notice and requested to purchase it as well but we never heard back after multiple attempts. TL:DR Depending on the teacher that you have your experience can vary by a lot. If management can do a better job with keeping the staff less stressed/happy I don't think we would hesitate with coming back.
