**Updated review** Original review: My Toddler has been…read morebitten 9 times in one month! I have spoken to Karin, but she is no longer with the school and has never been helpful when present. Nina is the assistant administrator who is nice, but it seems that every complaint falls through the cracks with no resolution. We have been told multiple times that corporate will follow up with us, but we have never received a phone call or email. I have called the school several times in the past month to speak to Karin and Nina. I have also sat down face-to-face with them several times but no resolution has been made. I understand that bits may be age-appropriate for toddlers, but receiving 9 in such a short period of time is unacceptable. Today I found another bite on my Toddler with no notification from the school. Clearly, no one is holding their word when they say they will keep a closer eye on the Toddlers in the class to limit the biting. I told the school I would like a call from the regional manager to talk about what would be done to resolve this issue. Update: The school never called, so I had to call in to get an update on what they would do to help limit classroom biting. They informed me that a 3rd teacher would be in the class during the moments the main teachers are handling lunches and diaper changes. Although this sounded promising, they had already told us this would be implemented several weeks ago. At this time, we do not trust the management and have decided to enroll our toddler in another school. Reflection: The Kiddie Academy is very clean, and the staff I have dealt with have been nice to my toddler and me. We left because the administration couldn't be trusted to keep their word, and management never helped with our situation. Also, the morning teacher for the next age group 2+ I would hear her yelling at the kids in the morning and could be heard from the toddler room. On a few occasions I thought about stepping in to say something because no kid deserves to be yelled at but I am kicking myself because I never did. I do not want my kid to start thinking biting is okay. And I do not want my kid to get yelled at when they age up to the 2+ year old class. This is an honest review from a parent that tried to be respectful and responsible with the school but in the end I had enough.

Unfortunately, my experience with this daycare did not meet my expectations. My son attended from…read morethe age of two until he was four, so I truly wanted this to be a place where he could grow, feel supported, and be properly cared for. While I appreciate the time and care that certain staff members provided during his time there, I ultimately felt that there were some major issues with communication and consistency among the staff. At times, it seemed like there was a lack of communication between staff members, which made it difficult for me as a parent to feel confident that everyone was on the same page regarding my son. I also felt that some staff members could have handled interactions with parents more professionally and respectfully. Most importantly, I did not always feel that my son was receiving the individual attention and care that I expected from a daycare. I'm grateful for the years my son spent there and for the staff members who genuinely cared for him, but unfortunately, the overall experience left me feeling that the daycare did not meet the standards I have for my child's care. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this daycare to other parents.

This is our second year at Aloma and my daughter loves it! She has had the best teachers. The staff…read moreis great and so friendly with the kids! Let me know when there were better payment options for us when we struggled without making a big deal about it. They do some of the cutest and exciting class/school activities and are always sure to involve us when they can. Love that there is a chapel every week! Miss Meaghan is AWESOME! She has taught my girl so many new things and I can tell how much love she has for not only my child, but everyone in the class! Thanks for taking care of my girl!

My daughter has been at Aloma since she was 18 months old. This is her final year at this school…read moreand I can honestly say that we are going to miss it for many reasons. First of all, it doesn't break your budget. So many daycares force you to pay for 5 days and all summer to hold your child's spot, but Aloma does not. They charge for the days that you attend. It was the most reasonable for our budget. Second, the staff turnover rate is nonexistent. Some of their teachers have been there for over 10+ years. That says a lot to me as a teacher that you have all of these great teachers willing to stay at the school and not move on to "greener pastures". Third, the teachers are amazing. My daughter has learned a tremendous about from all of them. We are constantly learning new things here like sign language from Miss Savannah or games from Ms. Jody. The teachers care about the kids well being and their academic growth. Finally I'd like to say that the office staff also cares about the kids. My daughter knows all of the them and feels comfortable and safe when she is there. Seriously as a parent, safety, loving, and a great learning experience what more can you ask for. We are truly going to miss this school and the people. They have become family to us and we would highly recommend this school. Go in, talk to the people, talk to the parents, see how the kids are treated. I promise you that you won't regret the trip or enrollment.
