    Long story short, I always looked for Jesus and wasn't raised in a religious family. The Heights,…read moreat the time, truly seemed accepting at first. During a long, hard divorce, where we tried to keep our kids invested in their church, my kid's youth mentor told my child "I'm so sorry you have a mother like yours." She was heartbroken. And refuses to return. None of us are prefect, but I'm private and only one side was heard. Grace wasn't given, love needed to be earned. This church was the final straw and after decades of me searching for God, this Church taught our family that Faith comes from us and not a building full of judges. My kid saw it before I ever did. And that's heartbreaking. Since we left...we coparent and our kids are thriving without having to meet so many moral expectations. So maybe the heights saved us in the end.

    This is my church. I had visited two others prior to this one, and it feels like home to me. My…read morehusband and I love the contemporary 11 a.m. service, but they also have a more traditional 9:30 a.m. service. There are life groups for all ages during the services. (The one I attend is for the 50+ age group at 9:30 a.m., so we can attend 11 a.m., and we love it too. It's called Open Door.) I believe their is a mid-week ministry for young adults, and there definitely is that for kids and teens.

    Terrible place I worked there and this location was not following the Texas child care licensing…read moreregulations they always kept the staff way over ratio. The director and the front office staff were not helpful they did not care about the staff. Definitely not a place I would enroll my child

    Kids r kids of Richardson is an excellent place for not only your child to attend but as well as an…read moreemployer. I have come across some reviews about this place which is definitely not true about the work environment. The Richardson location has new owners and new managers and yes I can agree they are tough but they should be because they hold their teachers to the highest of standards. With that said who wouldn't want them to be if they are working with your child. I couldn't think of a better place to work it's not just work together we are a family there. Like I said yes they hold their teachers to high standards but they do not ask or expect anything out of the ordinary. If you are ever considering to work there go I promise you will fall in love with all the managers, teachers, and the children! This place has it all top notch curriculum( age appropriate) teachers are very engaged ( as they are expected to be), every door you go to you see colorful art work done by children. Every time you get on the camera or walk the halls you will clearly see the children being engaged in some type of activity this is what makes this school so special! Not only am I an employee there but my child goes there as well and I wouldn't trust any other facility with him the way I do with kids r kids of Richardson!!! So yes there may have been a bad experience in the past nut I guarantee it hasn't been in the past two years!!! This place is amazing!

    I went back to work from maternity leave on 6/15. After lots of searching and A LOT of continued…read moreanxiety I enrolled my baby girl at Canyon Creek Daycare. I am so unbelievably impressed. As you can imagine it is not the most ideal (is it ever?) to send a newborn to daycare. They have exceeded my expectations in every way. Every single employee is so pleasant to talk to. Their communication has been seamless. I am not able to physically meet her teachers, but we have had zoom calls and they have an amazing app that they send constant pictures and videos throughout the day. They do such a fantastic job at trying to figure out this whole new norm we are living in. Most importantly you can tell they loveeeeeee the kiddos. Genuinely love and are happy. I toured quite a few daycares and you can tell when employees are not happy. I could ramble on about all the great things, but you get the point. If you're looking for childcare in the area I HIGHLY suggest to check them out!

He even asks for Ms. Emma on the weekend! The directors are approachable and accommodating. The curriculum has helped our son prepare for preschool and kindergarten. Also, they cater food for lunch! All in all, CCD is a wonderful facility to consider for your little one.

    The very first morning we dropped off our oldest son at The Octopus Garden, I was sad getting into…read moremy car, that mommy feeling of longing for her child. Another dad, getting into his car, recognized my feelings and reassured me with a smile and "Don't worry. Pretty soon it will feel like family!" He was right. The Octopus Garden has become all three of my children's home-away-from-home. They feel safe. They are loved. They learn. They have good friends. It's a preschool where manners and kindness are taught along with the ABCs and 123s. It is a very special place, a place that is governed by Love. Now when I drop my kids off at The Octopus Garden, they run in happy! They are greeted with smiles and hugs and everyone is eager to begin the day. Each week they are introduced to new concepts, books, activities and are fed healthy meals. The dedicated teachers at The Octopus Garden have become our true allies in parenting. They are our friends and they do indeed feel like our family. My husband and I are comforted with the knowledge that our kids are being provided with the same care and kindness that we provide in our home. We feel so blessed to have The Octopus Garden as our preschool!

    Not great. The school's website and staff appeared to misrepresent what the school's strengths and…read moreweaknesses were. The website says they have won awards for being good with kids who have special needs - they were not good with my son, who was just diagnosed with ADHD. The parent manual says they work with parents if kids have trouble in the classroom. They did not work with us, although the director did tell me that they worked with another child for a year until he went to kindergarten and ended up bringing a knife to kindergarten. It seemed like they favor kids who have been there for a long time or whose parents they know, I'm not sure. They did not appear willing to work with our son's therapist to develop a plan for our son, either. The director told us, "sticker charts don't work." I also didn't feel like they did much "teaching." My son did not do one worksheet during his time here. I did not see any educational work coming home. The children in his class seemed to bully a lot for such young kids. They called our son a cry baby and made fun of him for calling his mom "mama." The teacher is very experienced, but she appeared to be worn out or overwhelmed. The facilities are inviting but seem crowded and less than pristine. On the positive side, I will say that my son had fun with a lot of the activities they did, such as the summer luau. The director is pretty good at communicating with parents, even though I felt that she was either biased or dishonest in her communications with me. Bottom line? If your child is a fairly easy kid, and you aren't too focused on your child getting the best educational environment you can find, this school might work for you. If your kid is hyper or challenging like mine, this might not be your first choice.
