This is an update to my original review as of 5/16/2024…read more Miss Bloomingdale's continues to be such a great school for our youngest daughter. She is now 5, and in the Pre-K/Kindergarten program, and just loves all her teachers there. Miss Chere is clearly one of her favorites. And even though she is not in Miss Chere's class anymore, she always wants to make sure I take her to Miss Chere's classroom so she can say hi to her and give her a hug. But all the teachers continue to be great. And Miss Bloomingdale's as an institution is really an excellent value. For the combination of care, education and tuition rates...they are well worth it. And it's evident that they do the best they can to keep their tuition rates as reasonable as possible while still being able to provide a quality education and stay in business in this highly competitive environment. This is a locally-owned, family-run business that I'm proud to support, and I genuinely feel they have been overall a better fit for our family than other daycares/schools in the area that are most likely cookie cutter franchises -- and more expensive.

When it comes to Miss Bloomingdale's Academy, I get extremely emotional. It's more than a daycare;…read moreit's a place of trust, comfort and relief. From day 1, the staff has shown a nervous and at times, an overprotective mother that this was the right place for our son. Little things such as walking into the building, and EVERY staff member that you encounter says good morning to your child and addresses him by name (yes, even people that are not/nor has been his teacher); it gives you a sense of family. Miss Bloomingdale's molds your child into a well-rounded individual. The focus on learning and development - 5 stars; athletics (swim, soccer and dance classes are offered ONSITE) - 5 stars. Learning good manners and respect - 5 stars!!! The teachers and staff - 5 stars. Had we not moved, my son would without a shadow of a doubt would still be there. In fact, I was more emotional and torn up about him leaving. Thank you Miss Bloomingdale's for the huge impact you've had on my family. Will forever be in our hearts!!!

I absolutely love HRMS. My son has been going for about 3 months now and he really likes it. The…read morestaff are excellent, the facility is well kept and all at a reasonable price. I looked at several different schools and went with this one. I'm so glad I did! The curriculum is really good; he has lots of fun while learning cool things. I really can't say enough good things about them.

A good Montessori program and mother's day out program if you do part time…read more Note that this program essentially runs during school hours, so it isn't full time childcare.

This review is about the church itself…read more Lighthouse Baptist Church is a great church. Pastor Grice is different than the other Independent Baptists in the area, because... 1. He believes the Bible which teaches salvation is by grace through faith. (You may think they all believe that, but most of them add works to salvation by wrongly defining repentance.) 2. He is dynamic and entertaining. 3. He genuinely cares about individual people and wants what is best for them. He is a true friend.

From the owner: Currently no waiting list!…read more We have a preschool program which will prepare your child with the social, emotional and cognitive skills needed for school. All this is provided in the safe, nurturing environment of TLC Academy. We supply your child's meals and snacks prepared daily by our onsite chef! You can't beat our prices! We offer full-time childcare for birth to 12 months and offer discounts for multiple child families! We have after school care programs available also. We accept CCA .

Ms. Debra is the best in home child care provider ever! Before I found her, I looked at daycares…read moreand in home child cares and no one matches how clean her home is, the toys/activities she offers, and her responsible price! My daughter loves her and her home so much that she never wants to leave when I could pick her up! Ms. Debra has such a great structured schedule with so many activities. Her meals are nutritious and healthy. My most favorite thing are the fun crafts that my daughter gets to bring home. It is so comforting to have found someone I can trust my daughter with while I'm at work. I highly recommend her!

Ms. Debra was my childcare provider until I was old enough to stay home alone. She is warm-hearted,…read morepatient, attentive and always puts the needs of her kiddos first. She provided me with a fun, stable, interactive and healthy environment that felt like home away from home. If there ever was a human built to take care of children, it is Ms. Debra! I am currently 31 years old and Ms. Debra is still a huge part of my life! 10/10 recommend.

I had a very disappointing experience with the director and office staff…read more The biggest issue was communication. After I spent significant time and effort rearranging my schedule and preparing for enrollment, no one contacted me to let me know that my child's spot was no longer available. Instead, I later learned that other families had been placed ahead of us and the room was full. What frustrates me most is not simply that a spot became unavailablethings happen. The problem is that no one communicated this to me in a timely manner, despite the impact it had on my family. I wasted time, energy, and effort based on information that was no longer accurate. When concerns were raised, I did not feel that management took accountability for the breakdown in communication. Instead of acknowledging the mistake and working toward a solution, I felt dismissed and unsupported. Parents deserve clear, timely communication when making important childcare decisions. I hope the director and office staff improve their communication practices so other families do not experience the same frustration and stress that mine did.

For potential employees only, this day care is an easy place to get stuck at. Preschools are known…read morefor hiring mostly anyone and everyone, due to the high turnover, low pay, and lack of benefits. If you have any aspiration at all, or desire to make money, go elsewhere! Hours here are poor, and the pay is way too low to make up for it. People who have worked here for years barely make seventeen an hour. The pay here falls under the low income pay, according to federal guidelines. Do better for yourself and find a job with real pay and real benefits.

Day 1 at the daycare.... my 1 yr old son had an accident that required his clothes to be changed…read more When I brought him home & opened the plastic bag that had his dirty clothes in it, it smelled so bad I had to immediately wash them. As I pulled the clothes out of the bag a PILE OF POOP fell out of his clothes into my bathroom sink!!! I understand that accidents happen but common sense tells you not to leave the poop wrapped up in his clothes! The excuse that was made was "I didn't know if you wanted us to wash his clothes at the school." I don't care if you don't wash the clothes but THE LEAST you can do is REMOVE THE POOP!!! I paid $325 for registration, supplies fee, & tuition to have POOP in my sink on DAY 1! I really want to withdraw him TODAY but I want my money back!!!!

So I waited a few months before posting this review. I was nervous about placing my toddler…read moreanywhere in Irving. I toured several places and they were disgusting. Chipped paint on walls, teachers were missing teeth and kids looked dirty. EVERY daycare within a 5 mile radius from our house in Las Colinas was horrible.... Except LCCA. I walked in and was greeted with a smile. The place was very clean and the teachers were outgoing and very sweet. There was a mixture of races in every class so no child felt like the minority. This was very important to me since most of the other daycare's catered to either certain races or economical-class. The rates are reasonable for the area and the facility looks like an elementary school inside instead of a daycare. I would give this place 5 stars if it weren't for two things. 1. They didn't notify parents when the owner tested positive for Flu A. The only reason I knew is because when I went up there to notify them my son was positive, she told me she tested positive for Flu A a week prior. I think it is common courtesy to notify parents to prevent an outbreak... Flu, pink eye, lice.... so you know to look for the symptoms and can address it. 2. They don't pick up for after school care. Which means my older kids have to stay at YMCA at their school. This is a huge inconvenience for parent who have to make 2 stops on the way home. Over all this is a great place to have your little ones. Hands down, this is by far the best option in the North Irving/Las Colina's area.
