She is involved with all the children, takes a hands on approach to ensuring they succeed as well as treats each child like her own. This permeates down to the teachers, who are so loving and caring, it made me feel comfortable knowing my son was in their care. He was so prepared and ready to take on kindergarten, I couldn't imagine starting school without creative world.

I called, and they welcomed me for a tour. They are welcoming and have been updating the activities and curriculum for the kids over the past few years. Liz and the staff always strive to improve the daycare. A huge plus is the neighboring Little One Swim's, where kids can practice swimming. They also offer soccer shots, dance, Spanish, and other additional activities for an additional fee. Annually, they have Father's Day lunches and muffins with mothers, as well as other activities to celebrate with the kids.

All the teachers are fantastic; they're happy to be there, they're great with the kids, and most of them are eager to communicate about your child's day and work with you on developmental goals (our youngest is potty training and they've been helpful with suggestions and ideas for success and are never judgmental about our approach). I love the fact that their day consists of learning new things, tons of reading, TONS AND TONS of artwork, and a decent amount of outside time. I've always thought a good way to tell if a child has enjoyed themselves is to just look at them. My kids come home filthy almost every day and I'm thrilled by that! They are playing hard and discovering new things and on those occasions when we can't be there to do that with them, I'm comforted to know they're surrounded by people who will nurture their curiosity and sense of adventure. Like most of the other centers in town, they have the tumble bus once a week but they also have yoga once a week and my kids have benefited from that more than I ever would have guessed. They both really enjoy that time and I would love to see other opportunities like dance or martial arts someday. I think it's a great way to introduce the kids to different activities and give them a taste of everything so they can decide which ones to pursue further on our own. Overall, I think this is a great place! They're growing and improving constantly and I'm excited my kids get to be a part of it.

We called in early March for availability for our infant and were told the soonest was May which worked perfectly with our timeline. We came in to tour and then coordinated a day to come in before our infants first day. We came in to do our orientation a week prior to the first day and Yaya seemed very confused when we came in and told us she "couldn't remember" what room our infant was placed into.. We were shown the classroom she would be in and were introduced to the teachers. We were told that she would have a cubby for all her items; however, on the first day of drop off she did not have a cubby or an area for her items. Not to mention I did not even recognize the teachers who were in the classroom with her. When I went to look for the items I dropped off, I found them items on the floor in a storage closet while other infants had their items neatly set up and put away. When we confronted the center they claimed "a label" is not a reflection of the care our child will receive and the excuse was "Erica" has been out for a week and they didn't know where our infant's stuff was so they couldn't set up her items properly. They had plenty of notice to prepare for our infant advance. It may just be a label but what it shows me they are unorganized, lack basic communication skills amongst their employees and if they can't properly store her necessities, they lack the ability to they take care of my child, it is 100% a reflection of the care my child will receive.

She gives you her cell number and allows you to call or text her if you ever have any questions. Honestly, I can't say enough about this school and the teachers. We never wanted our daughter to leave but are happy that she's more than prepared for grade school because of Alpeh and Ms. Emily!

Events like the family lunches, Mother's Day and Father's Day celebrations, and holiday parties make it feel like more than just a school--it's a community. Most importantly, both of our boys absolutely love going to school. They come home excited to share stories about their teachers and friends, which says everything. We feel confident that they are well cared for, supported, and getting exactly what they need to prepare for elementary school. We couldn't be more grateful to have found such a special place.

We adore Ms. Sherii, and she truly has a heart of gold and genuinely cares about each person that walks through the doors. We had our daughter's first birthday party here as well and it was a huge hit. Gymboree is a must do with young kiddos, up to age 5!!

Honest review for the parents: your kiddos are going to love it, and you're going to love the nap!…read more5/5 Been told about Gymboree for a while now and I've been too busy to schedule a day to come in... Today though... was the day! Our kiddo absolutely loved the play area, he didn't stop once for the 45 minutes he got to play. We scheduled an open gym play time and our son got to mingle with some other little, as well as got to get his energy out. What I loved was the owner/staff at the front. Can I say absolutely respectful, welcoming, and just prioritizing the kids safety and well-being. While we were all getting ready to join in, we got to introduce the parents. And the kids got ready to go in. Meanwhile she was busy at work cleaning the areas to make sure that the kiddies were in a clean play room. Plus once a month they rearrange the area to incorporate more styles of play. They have different memberships online and you can text for availability, which is how we were able to confirm availability for the day! For parents with kids in early intervention programs, this is a great place to bring your kids for therapy. For other kids without a therapy need, this allows them to teach and influence other kiddos who need that influence. Definitely will be returning in the future for more fun!

The campus is lovely and perfect for young children; bright colors and loads of fun toys. The school also has a huge backyard to play in with bikes and a playground. The teachers are all kind and knowledgeable and the smaller class sizes ensure plenty of one on one attention.

I appreciate that there are themes that focus on fairy tales, and pets, and the human body ,and everything else in between.

My husband and I transitioned our 5 year old son after being in a in home daycare to a more 'school…read morebased' care/preschool as he fell along the later Kindergarten kids since his birthday is in October and we were a little too late to enroll him to WCSD Pre-K programs, but also needed something more full-time rather than a 7-12pm timeframe. Purple Door Preschool D'Andrea is located next to my mom's apartment at Eastland , so my husband and I thought it help with drop off and pick ups. I have also had multiple friends mention they love Purple Door. When I first called, they said I could come by anytime during the week to do a tour. So I went with my son and met Mr. T for the first time who showed me the D'Andrea campus . I was impressed with the type of rooms they had, the different themes each month, and the 'curriculum' they offered for the kids , especially for the 4/5 year olds who are about to go into Kinder. We made the decision to officially transition our son around October time and my son was really excited. So far with my experience with this school, I had concerns at first with the transition and my son making friends as he met some of his closer friends at his old daycare . Everything was good so far, but my son did have an issue he expressed to me about another kid who supposedly not as nice to my son. I mentioned my concerns to the teachers about the other child targeting my son, however the teacher explained that the other child did have some problems with other kids also and fair enough my son can have a lot of energy too and is still working on his boundaries as a 5 year old. That was the beginning of my sons time with PurpleDoor but have not heard anymore problems with the other child after that. They also got the cubbies confused on my sons first day of school where we had an awkward situation with another parent about my sons cubby being incorrect . It was an easy resolve though, and it all worked out at the end. My son has been able to spell his name, his last name, and progress more with his cognitive learning since being at PurpleDoor and I've been happy with all the other extra curriculum they've done at the school like their winter performances and right now their soccer shots that I just enrolled my son on Tuesdays till March. This is a school where you do have to provide your own lunches for your kids but they have parties every now and then. They do also follow WCSD calendar, so anytime the schools are closed are when PurpleDoor is closed along with winter delays or fire days , but they do communicate with you over the BrightWheel app and emails regarding any closure or delays. Every month you are required to bring a Costco size snack for the kiddos as they provide the snacks and fresh fruit for them. Finally this is a tuition based school with different cost for part time and full time care along with before and after school care. As a first time parent, I do recommend to look at all your options for care especially if you have a 4/5 year old because there are Pre-K programs for WCSD as long as there is room and not tuition based and depending on your location in NNV other preschools may offer till 6pm care without paying an addition cost for after school care. But I do recommend PurpleDoor Preschool as the teachers are great, the curriculum is good, and my 5 year old son absolutely loves it.
