I was looking for hands on school option for my son this year. After touring different places, this…read moreone stole my heart. The minute you walk in, you can feel that children are present and excited to be there. It is lively, nurturing and most of all, he has already learned so much in the little time he has been there. There are so many activities, the teachers and staff are wonderful. I am at peace knowing that he is in a wonderful learning environment where he and his friends are what matter most!

I loved this REAL Preschool and daycare! My daughter went there for a couple months before we…read moremoved. When she first started in the Lion room, she'd cry because she was so use to being with either my mom or myself but there was a teacher that really helpful in calming her down. After her birthday she was moved to the K3 class, Bee room. I absolutely loved her teacher, Ms Lyn & so did my daughter. Daily reports were something I loved. My daughter learned so much & was always happy to go. The classrooms and building in general were always clean. Kids were always either playing or focused. I never had an issue with somebody bullying my baby. They were everything I want for my child. Caring teachers, friendly kids, clean facility, with a good curriculum. I was always able to go to work knowing my baby was well taken care of. Boy do I miss this daycare.

We as parents and our 11 month old son LOVE it here! Our baby started going 5 days a week when he…read morewas about 5 months old, and is always happy to be dropped off and is happy when we pick him up. In the KC app the teachers share notes, photos, and I get to see a continuously updated report with his diapers, bottles, and food intake. The teachers and staff are sweet, attentive, and caring. It really seems like all of them LOVE their jobs and caring for kiddos. They know each kid really well. As a new parent who asked sooooo many questions and can be a worrier, they are so kind and patient with me. We know Walt loves his teachers in his classroom- he's always happy to see them at dropoff time! They do fun and developmentally appropriate activities for the kids too. As a former classroom teacher I really appreciate that they plan special activities to engage kids and babies of all ages and keep us posted with notes, pictures, and lesson plans. We will be sending our second baby here when he is about 5 months old. We are very happy with KC St Francis. I chat with the leadership and staff often at pickup and have really gotten to know them. They are so nurturing and I know our son is so well taken care of!

Just terrible. Take your beautiful babies there if you don't want them to learn or be cared for…read moreproperly. My toddler has been there for 4 months & she has cried and begged for me to not send her because some kids are being bullies and the "teachers" don't care!!!! The director lady is so rude! She has had an attitude with me since day 1! They had 2 teachers there that I felt genuinely cared but both have left. The place reeks! I absolutely hate this daycare center. My child was treated, cared for and taught better in the "hood" than this place. They slapped me with a $500+ fee because of July being a "5 week month" nobody ever mentioned it to me, so money hungry. I do not recommend this daycare to anybody.

In the end, we picked All 'Bout Children for their Outdoor Classroom Certification, bilingual curriculum, and partnership with Burleigh Elementary to provide before and after school care (he doesn't need it yet, but glad to know its an option). In the end, we have not been disappointed! The teaching staff is genuinely caring and engaged with the little guy's development. Not only do they take the time to answer all our questions (patiently), but we get daily updates in real-time on potties, feedings, and various other milestones - but the best part is they provide pictures almost daily which is a great treat when I'm at work thinking about him :) Their spots fill up quickly, but if you are looking for a new daycare, I recommend taking a tour.

Love this daycare. Feels like a home with teachers that are truly invested in the children. I am so…read morehappy I chose them to care for my boy while at work. Things I love: they send pictures and videos all day, they call and communicate often, they team with parents, they have activities that help develop their social, emotional, and physical growth, they are always outside exploring when the weather permits, and they show love and tlc to the children in their care. This preschool/daycare is truly a hidden gem.
