I cannot say enough good things about this school! Both of my children have attended, starting at a…read morevery young age. My daughter started at 1.5 years old and is now 3.5, and my son began at 1 year old and is currently 2.5. I'm also excited to share that we'll be sending our next son, who is currently just 2 weeks old, when he turns 1. We're already looking forward to the wonderful experience he'll have, just like his older siblings. What truly stands out is how flexible and accommodating the staff has been to our family's needs. They have consistently gone above and beyond to make sure we feel supported, and they've always been responsive and communicative, answering any questions or concerns I have promptly and with care. I always feel heard and valued as a parent, which means so much to me. The staff's commitment to creating a safe, enriching environment for my children is evident in every interaction. It's clear they genuinely care about the children's growth and development. I feel confident every day that my kids are in great hands. My daughter is now fully prepared and ready for preschool next year, and I'm so grateful for the foundation the school has given her. I highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a place where their child will be loved, supported, and encouraged to grow in a positive, caring atmosphere. Thank you so much to the amazing team for all you do!

Pride and Joy has truly become like a second family to us. My son started there when he was just…read morefive months old, and now at three years old, it's amazing to see how much he has grown and thrived in their care. The teachers are so kind, loving, and genuinely invested in each child. It brings me so much comfort knowing he is in such a safe and nurturing environment every day. We're incredibly grateful for the entire team at Pride and Joy. They've played such an important role in these early years of our son's life, and we feel lucky to be part of such a special community.

Our story with Pride & Joy Daycare, and the two updates are at the very bottom of this review…read more On July 18th 2023 at 1:34pm, my husband and I received a called from Donna (lead teacher) and Vanessa (a Pride & Joy director) that our 2-year old's daycare teacher, Ashley took the whole class back inside the classroom leaving our son, James, outside. We were told that James was "left outside less than 5 minutes in the backyard." We picked up James from the daycare immediately. At that time, we spoke to Stephanie, the director of another Pride & Joy location, in which she told us in person, that James was left outside on the front lawn unsupervised for "15-20 minutes." Not a single person involved in this situation spoke with us. Stephanie told us, "Ashley was supposed to collect the kids (about 15 kids), and Donna was supposed to do a face to name check at the door which was not done." She also expressed how upset she was about the situation, and that she was the one who made the call to Child Protective Services, and Office of Children and Family Services. We were told by Stephanie that according to the Infant Room teacher who ended up taking her class to a different area of the property, that James went to her twice. She sent James away the first time to "go back to your group," and then supposedly he came back a second time, and that's when the teacher realized something wasn't right. Interestingly enough, our 14-year-old son, Kai, just so happened to be walking past the daycare with a friend on his way to play tennis. Kai actually took a picture of Jimmy while he was completely unsupervised. The director Stephanie told my husband and I twice on the day of the incident that "Ashley was supposed to collect the children, and Donna was supposed to do a face to name check at the door." No other teachers were mentioned. We were also told that Donna was already inside the classroom changing the diaper of another child. When I asked CPS about the cameras, thinking the footage would answer all questions, her response was "their cameras have been inoperable since their last visit." UPDATE: JULY 25, 2023-- VIEWING OF VIDEO FOOTAGE FROM A SOURCE OUTSIDE OF THE DAYCARE James was left outside unattended for 45 minutes. The infant room teacher who claimed to tell James to "go back to his group" actually had a barricade up (put up at 10:33am), and my son did not actually go to her. She was in charge of her own class. 11:02am, and the lead teacher Donna can be seen shocked, with two hands over her face with clearly the news of my son being outside. 11:20am, Stephanie is seen entering the building from the parking lot. Since the incident, James has been having nightmares screaming for my husband, Kai, and me. At the beginning of the footage Donna can be seen leaving the classroom, and building in her red pickup truck. Who was with Ashley and the 15 kids? Donna appears to come back to the building with a white grocery bag. UPDATE AS OF MAY 21st, 2024: If this wasn't a nightmare enough. My husband and I live near the daycare, and who do we see with the children out on the front lawn? Ashley. That's right. The teacher that is not supposed to be working with children anymore according to CPS! The same week Ashley was seen still working with 2 year olds, I get a copy of the letter that was supposed to be sent out to the current enrolled parents of Pride & Joy. The letter did not mention the fact that my son was left outside for 43 minutes on the front lawn during a heatwave. Stephanie also lies in the letter stating that the child had contact with another teacher "shortly."No he did not! My 2 year old was left on the front lawn, without water, or supervision, and was running around with a metal garden stake. I was not going to write a review, but to now see that these parents are being lied to, and that Ashley still works there with children is beyond irresponsible, dangerous, and illegal. I was told that Ashley can no longer work with children, and she is still working at Pride & Joy.

Now, when you enter in, it's toys/clothes and other items for toddlers and teens, which they update every now and again which I like.

I'm not sure if they still do the activities for the kids though.

My husband and I have also found that the communication with parents is good and we are happy with the staff.

My older son went to another school his first year, and they were terrible. We moved him here and they worked with him so much, and he really loved it here. So when it was time for my second son to go to school, we didn't think twice about sending him here. They are so nice and so great with the kids. They really care about the kids and communicate with the parents very well. They inform the parents at pick up what the kids did that day. If your looking for a nursery/preschool, this is the school to go to.

I worked here last year and it was good. The staff was awesome and there for you. The kids were…read moregood too. While I worked there there was a nice sized chicken coop on on side of the playground. The playground was a good size as well.

There was also a before and after program, which is good for the kids in elementary school.

Visit Dates: September 12, 2018 to present writing (12/18/18) and hopefully for a few years!…read more We registered my son for pre-school at Miss Midgie's. Currently he's 2 and a half so he's in the two year old program. I was nervous when we first registered him because he wasn't separated from anyone besides his family care-givers and I was nervous about how he was going to handle school. At first he was nervous but now that he realizes he'll be picked up he seems to be okay about going. The staff I have dealt with when I drop him off seem to be very nice. Miss Lisa seems to be an awesome teacher. I am nervous because our son has been pushing some of the kids in the class and even though this is normal toddler behavior we are trying to nip it in the but and discourage it. I'm just scared he might get kicked out of the school for it if it's ongoing but we'll see what happens. In short I'm impressed with this school so far, I hope my two year old does not get kicked out so that he may continue his pre-school years at Miss Midgie's.
