We've been extremely pleased so far with the care they're receiving. Our daughter is really thriving. She transitioned from an in-home facility, so it was a big change for her. They do such a great job of balancing letting them play and go wild while also keeping structure and learning. She naps well, eats well, plays well, and is constantly learning new things. Her teachers have also been a huge help recently with potty training! The teachers in her class are on the younger side and have the energy it takes to run around with a bunch of two year olds all day Our son is doing well too! He's been napping well, he's getting his bottles on time, and is a pretty happy little guy every evening when we pick him up. The primary teachers in his classroom are ladies who have likely already raised their families. They are very loving and affectionate and also have the patience it takes to deal with crying babies most of the day A HUGE selling point for us is the camera system. Personally, I cannot even begging to put a price on the peace of mind I get from being able to check in on my kids whenever I want. Whether I am just missing them or want to check in for other reasons (has my daughter peed her pants and had to change clothes today? Ha) it is really really beneficial. Each day we get a paper for each child that says when they went to the bathroom/had their diaper changed, when they napped, when and what they ate, etc. For control freaks like me, this is great. I'm a "the more information the better" person. Anytime we have had comments/suggestions, they've been addressed and implemented immediately. For instance, we asked if our daughter's teachers could give us more feedback on her days and they immediately started writing little "high/low" recaps on her papers for us. We asked if they could give her a late afternoon/early evening snack to help with her "hangriness" on the car ride home and that same day they started an additional snack. Long story short, we have most certainly not been disappointed with our choice!

Overall not a great experience for us personally. Some teachers are absolutely amazing (especially…read moreinfant room and age 2) but the preK room was a mess this past year with a ton of turnover from the teachers to the point where I didn't even know who was in my child's classroom. Then one teacher decided to hit on my husband which made him super uncomfortable and he refused to do dropoffs for quite some time. My kid is far from perfect which we know and understand but they had me convinced there were serious issues at play so we put my child into therapy and had them tested for ADHD and personality/behavior disorders. All the tests came back negative and the therapist and counselor couldn't figure out why we were there since my child was considered a normal 5 year old testing boundaries and understanding feelings. My child has attended many birthday parties and they are always praised for being the best behaved child there and we have few to no issues at home. All poor behavior seems to be related to AAK. There are cameras in the room so you can check in often but the teachers rarely have control of the classroom and they are often on their phones which I brought up to the front desk staff multiple times to no avail. The high turnover for the room also results in teachers with various discipline styles and not always age appropriate. I have saved all communication with the center and I have an email from the center telling me that they believe in ignoring bad behavior which is why they don't talk to my child when they are upset. While I understand the concept, this often led to escalation that could have been avoided by verbal communication and respect. One discipline action was to have the child write "I will not disrespect my teacher" over and over again.... Did I mention this is a 4&5 classroom where they can't read yet? In another example After the news shared about a school shooting my child came home and said that the teacher told them that happened because kids didn't behave!!! I was furious on that one as my child was convinced misbehavior led to getting shot. When my child was finally expelled for violence we never received a written letter nor an incident report but instead were just told on the phone that my child wasn't welcomed back. The other parents and I have a group text and no one heard the same story of what happened and I still don't know what all happened that day (I imagine the truth is somewhere in the middle of what the center, the kids (including the other involved student), and my own child have told me). Based on the other reviews on here I imagine the daycare will reply back back blaming me and my child as they usually do but I just recommend any new parents talk to other parents before enrolling and talk to parents with children in the upper classrooms who have had experiences. We were there 5 years before my child was expelled and as a result I also pulled my second younger child which is a shame because they loved their teachers. But I just couldn't risk them ending up in the same situation as the older sibling. If you do go here I also recommend Not letting your child move up classrooms early as they get bored quite easily and routines are the same. My child was in the last classroom since 3.5yrs old (even though its a 4&5 room) and they were learning the same things at 3.5 as 5.5yrs so there is no division in the class for different coursework based on age or intellect. We have since moved to a new daycare and my eldest is doing amazing!! They are being challenged intellectually, have had no behavioral issues, and are loved by their teachers: Either the change in centers changed my child or nothing about my child changed but the issue was with AAK. I debated posting a review but its important that parents to talk to parents. Everyone will likely have a different experience and I'm sure some people will have a wonderful 5 years there but this was just our experience and even if we are an outlier I felt it needed to be shared.

Where to begin... My…read moreson had been attending KidsThrive for over a year. Against my better judgment, I didn't heed another's advice that KidsThrive was not a good place to send your child, but my son has behavioral issues, and it seemed my only option at the time. To begin, they don't allow you to see the full facility of where your child will be interactive for most of the day, claiming HIPPA. This was extremely odd to me. The first week, my son was modeling other kids' behaviors, and he ended up calling the van driver the b word, which was totally unacceptable and not something that I would or do tolerate. They have lost several articles of clothing and a backpack, under their care. The first time my son attended East, they forgot to put his coat on in freezing, cold weather. He came home in a t-shirt! Man, was I furious! My son takes medication to help with his behavioral concerns. After this caused him to gain weight, several of his peers started calling him fat. He still to this day looks into the mirror, and asks, "Mommy, am I fat?" When I prompted him as to why he would ask such a ridiculous thing, he says," the kids at KidsThrive call me fat and a baby." I witnessed kids singing, "no likes you" to the tune of happy birthday right in front of me. The van driver just watched. Their contracted transportation is awful. However, some drivers at least were honest and said that they witnessed other kids being mean to my son. This was reported to me without prompting. And KidsThrive just makes excuses for it. My son came home with scratches on his face, and no one could account where they came from. His babysitter even mentioned that they were visible upon being dropped off. I had several of my son's teachers visit KidsThrive, with signed acknowledgments. They mentioned it was not a good environment, and it was not good for Maverick, that it only heightened his behavioral issues. In my experience, they are not qualified or structured to care for kids with these types of issues. One of the providers reached out to me and stated, that she was hopeful that MY son didn't grow up to hit females. I sent this to another provider that handles my son's care, and they agreed this was completely unprofessional. When I told KidsThrive that I had not seen these aggressive behaviors outside of what was being told to me, they said it must be because he knows he cannot be kicked out (???) and getting it out of his system. One also said they were "140 lbs." and could not handle him physically. [For reference, my son is big for his age]. Another instance, I asked if they were able to physically restrain him when he is acting out, and was told, "well I have crutches so I can't." I have tried to work through several issues that I have encountered over the last year, but it just became too much and the leadership team has become increasingly unhelpful. I do think my son was actually worse in this environment. Take this information and make of that what you will.

Thursday 12/9/2021 I came to pick up my son around 5:30 like I usually do & there were no teachers around while I wait at the door. I seen all the kids where just sitting around very calm. I started hearing screaming so I peeked in a little more to see & there I seen the toddler teacher I call her Ms Nay. (She's light skin with red braids at the time) aggressively pushing around a toddler boy. When I say aggressively I mean aggressive enough to the point where I thought that might've been her child or someone she knows personally. I watched that little boy scream his head off while Ms. Nay continue to push and pull him while they are both sitting on the floor on the righthand side between two bookshelves. The other teacher I guess his name is Ms Aubrey finally comes to the door spooked that I am witnessing abuse, while Ms Nay gets up and is nervously looking at me look at her abusing that little boy. Now that day I didn't say anything to Ms Nay but I asked Ms Aubrey if that was her son & she stated "No I'm the only one here who has kids." Immediate red flag. The next day I confronted Ms Nay & She Stated "No nothing happened." I said Yes it did, I clearly seen you. She said "Oh we were just playing" I said "That was not playing when the boy was clearly screaming & crying" I even asked her if he was a difficult child.. She said "No he's good." 2nd red flag. I then spotted Ms Aubrey coming outside with her 2 kids & asked her if she seen what happen yesterday & she clearly said yes which I did voice record for my safety. After Friday I will not be sending my child back to Treehouse Childcare. I spoke with Keyshia this morning who is above the other teachers I guess and she shut down every allegation I said even though "she wasn't there the day it happened" she's claiming that all of the kids were being wild that day but all of the kids were being so calm. The only child who was being wild was the crying little boy being abused by Ms Nay. These are people who witness abuse, allow it and take up for the abusers. It's my word against theirs but voice recordings don't lie. My son loved this daycare & even though I am extremely upset that I have to remove him, start over, I do not condone any abuse towards kids who can't speak up for themselves. So If you don't want your kids to be abused I would not send them here!
