I was a little nervous using a sitter I had never met, so like Laura S, I called the concierge at the Monaco, and she got perfect reviews from them. Jennie was very professional, texted me her confirmation of service and her terms. When we spoke she asked all kinds of questions about the baby / likes/dislikes, etc. She is affordable and prompt-- if not early! This gave my baby and her time to get acquainted while we got ready. Jennie brought balloons and activities to entertain her. Jennie was warm and friendly and the baby had a good time. We would certainly use her again. Chanel's review is unfair because clearly there was a misunderstanding and if you are from out of state you might not realize the difference between the tech center and downtown - the name of the service is even "downtown nanny". The review also caused me stress prior to my event. When she arrived without 3 heads I was super happy :) . Jennie has a website too that explains she's bonded etc.

From the moment I arrived, I could feel the care, structure, and positive energy throughout the entire academy. The staff was attentive, nurturing, and fully engaged with the children -- it was beautiful to see. During storytime, the children impressed me with their focus, discipline, and excitement to participate. They listened so carefully and interacted with so much joy. We even created a fun little song together on the spot, and they jumped right in with bright smiles and enthusiasm. IKid Academy deserves a big congratulations for cultivating such a loving, organized, and enriching environment. The children played well together, shared naturally, and showed so much kindness toward one another. I left feeling inspired and truly impressed by everything I witnessed.

The tuition isn't the cheapest you will find, but you get what you pay for and I'm so grateful to have my child here. Their lines of communication is great - I never feel out of touch. The only downside that I can think of, which can easily be a deal-breaker for some, is their location: pick-up and drop-off can be tough when there's a lot of traffic on Speer, but everything else about this place makes up for the less-than-ideal location for our family.

We were grateful to find space at Primrose when it first opened and the first few months were great but we quickly realized that this school had a staffing problem when teachers began to leave. I am going to start with my more recent experience with Primrose as I do think they are starting to get things under control. My daughter is very social and agreeable and shined at Primrose. She regularly was praised via "Happygrams" and made some of her best friends here. In the past year, she has pretty much kept the same teachers and has done well in Pre-K. We had a rocky start with lots of change over in teachers, front desk staff, and directors in the beginning but I feel like Primrose is starting to hit their stride. It seems like the directors are on top of things and Ms Anakay and Ms Raelynn deserve a special shout out for their work at the school as we wouldn't have stayed without them. My son's experience was the polar opposite. My son went through 3 teachers in the first 8 months the school was opened. When an inexperienced teacher became the lead teacher, my then 5 year old son was disciplined unfairly by being separated from the group, told to eat lunch facing the back of the room away from his peers, and I was given notices to sign in front of him every day. All of the kids pegged him as a bad kid and wouldn't play with him, after being his friend prior. We are still dealing with self worth from this time period. I brought up bringing in a therapist to watch the class to management, I brought up what was being done in the classroom only to find that they were not keeping good records on his behavior, etc. When I talked to the director (who has since been let go) she talked me out of seeking help from Brain Balance. Luckily we quickly pulled him from the school and got him into therapy. The support we feel from his current school is amazing by contrast. Ultimately I think this school is great if you have a kid that is by the book. My daughter was very happy there and felt safe. I think she got a good education as well. However, if you have a child that has behavioral challenges I would look elsewhere. The damage done to my child has taken years to reverse from and could have been rectified with better communication, policy, and teachers. They are just not well equipped to handle this kind of student, and at least in my experience there was no way for us to move forward without pulling him immediately even though that meant us having to take unexpected leave from work to accommodate. I would like to see the owners really look at how to retain their good people. When schools like this are started for more of a financial incentive than an education based incentive, I could tell the difference with the way the staff turned over. Our last school had 1 teacher leave in 3 years. We watched many of our favorite teachers at this school move on over the years and it would be a shame to lose those who keep the spirit of Primrose going.

On the recommendation of a coworker, I toured and was amazed at the quality of care they give here. My oldest began attending at 13 months, and just recently started kindergarten. His brothers have been attending since 7 months and are now 2 years old. They will attend until they begin kindergarten, as well. Our experience here has been nothing short of wonderful. All the staff knows us by name, even teachers who don't have my kiddos in their rooms. I know my kids are safe and well-taken care of. They love being dropped off and greet their teachers with big hugs every morning. All the staff loves on each and every kid like they are their own, and the curriculum - WOW! My oldest is already reading and performing at 1-2nd grade levels in math & science. Both my 2 year olds (JUST turned 2!) know their shapes, colors, letters - and one of my twins can count to 17 already. The teachers here TEACH - they aren't just watching your kids.

We left Goddard only because we choose to move to a new state to be closer to family. This team was more than daycare providers they were advocates, friends and supporters for us during our time at the school. Our son started as an infant and we had no idea what we would experience over our time at Goddard. While at the school our son was diagnosed with a rare condition that causes him to be legally blind as well as being diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. For a parent with a child with special needs you have a fear that your child will be treated differently, or poorly because it maybe more difficult to care for him. This school not only ensure we didn't have that fear while he was there but they were a huge advocate for what he needed. His teachers in the beginning brought up concerns or thing they were seeing to see if we were also seeing the same thing at home. They were actively engaged with his Development, and were constantly asking what they could be doing in the classroom to help him. Our doctors were always complementing how supportive the school was on his development and reminding us that not everyone is like that. For us, this staff was a god sent in a very difficult time. The staff shared in the highs and lows. This team was and is not just simply a daycare, they were family. Along the way it was not easy and we had to work together to find solutions, but we always did. I miss dropping our son off there everyday. He was so very happy at the school. Everyday he would get a big smile on his face and so excited to go to his class. He very rarely cried when I left him, but if he did by the time I walked away he was done. He LOVED his ladies and we did also. If you are looking for a school to support your child through their development you have found your school. I am VERY critical person and they exceeded my expectations ever step of the way.

I cannot begin to describe how grateful we are; Laura has been so compassionate and caring to our two girls, I cannot recommend her enough.

Laura provides kind, attentive, and affordable childcare in a safe, pleasant, and clean environment. I always knew my son was safe and happy in her care, and even though he was sad when I would leave, I always picked him up to see a huge smile on his face from getting to play and do learning activities all day. Never once did anything scary or concerning happen like I had experienced with other providers, and her in-home care gave my son (and me) the feeling of being cared for by a family member rather than dropping him off to a room of 20 kids with a constant turn over in staff. Another huge plus was that he was sick MUCH less often than in a larger daycare setting. Laura is fully licensed and follows all rules and guidelines to a T, and her care was also reimbursable through submitting receipts to my work's FSA (if you have an FSA option for healthcare). I can't recommend Laura highly enough! She is excellent and if she has a spot open for your little, you should take it!!
