We could not be more grateful for the incredible care, love and foundation Starfish Scholars has provided for both our daughters. From the very beginning, the teachers and staff have gone above and beyond to create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where our children have been able to grow, learn, and thrive. A special thank you to Ms. Jennifer Maziar, Ms. Traci P, Ms. Juliana G, Ms. Connie, and Ms. Jasmine, who continue to play such an important role in our youngest daughter's development. She looks forward to going to school, and it gives us tremendous peace of mind knowing she is surrounded by teachers who genuinely care about her well-being and growth. We are also incredibly proud of how well our older daughter is doing at her STEAM Magnet school. She is performing remarkably well and has already won some awards, and we truly believe the strong academic, social and developmental foundation she received at this daycare played a major role in preparing her for that success. A huge thank you to Ms.Anne, Ms. Susan and all of her teachers who helped build her confidence, curiosity, independence and love of learning. Having one daughter continue to attend while watching our older daughter thrive is a testament to the positive impact this daycare has had on our family. We are truly thank for every teacher and staff member who has been part of our daughters' journey. We highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a place where their children will be genuinely loved, supported, encouraged, and prepared for future success. We couldn't be happier with our experience. read more

I never planned on writing this review, but after continuing to receive emails asking about my experience, I felt like maybe it was time to speak up. In October of last year, my son was enrolled at Starfish Scholars. I chose this school after having a very negative experience at a previous daycare where I felt the teachers simply did not care. At that point, I made the decision that sometimes you truly get what you pay for. Even though this school was a little outside of my budget, the moment I walked in, I felt peace. I genuinely believed my son would be safe, cared for, and protected there. One thing that made me feel even more comfortable was the fact that they offered cameras for parents. Ironically, I never even logged into them because I trusted the environment so much. Every single day after pickup, I would ask my son how his day was, and during the first couple of weeks he seemed happy and excited to be there. Then things started to change. Around the second week, he began telling me he missed his old teacher. I didn't think too much of it at first because he also spoke positively about Ms. (JASMINE/YASMINE), saying she was nice to him and gave him snacks, which made him happy. One day, while talking to him about behavior at school and asking if he had been a good boy, we started discussing the cameras. That's when he told me something that completely stopped me in my tracks. He said, "The cameras only work for the kids, not the teachers." I asked him what he meant by that, and he began explaining that during nap time, his teacher had been touching him. As any parent would, I immediately contacted the police and filed a report. From my perspective, however, it felt like very little was actually done besides questioning the teacher. Life moved on for everyone else, except for my son. Since then, anytime teachers are brought up, he gets a fearful look on his face. What hurts even more is that my own sister is a teacher, and he now seems afraid around her too. It genuinely feels like he believes all teachers are unsafe. He no longer wants to go to school, and honestly, I don't blame him. When I informed the administration that I would be withdrawing him and explained why, the response felt cold, dismissive, and completely lacking empathy. As a parent, that was heartbreaking. I cannot recommend this school to any parent who simply wants to know their child is safe, protected, and genuinely cared for. read more

Starfish Scholars - The email kept requesting my feedback - Preschools Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I've had a great experience so far with Starfish Scholars (previously called Kids R Kids, under a new owner now). Jennifer has been so great since the moment we contacted this place to make a tour. She has such strong communication and answers all my questions as a first time mom enrolling my 4.5 month old into this daycare. We feel comfortable with the staff, the kids all seem very happy to be there, security & safety seem great which was a relief. The prices were very reasonable and includes more than I could have expected. Will come back to update my review once our baby starts her first few months. So excited and nervous all at the same time. read more

Starfish Scholars (formally KidsRKids) was a Godsend. As first-time parents, choosing a daycare felt overwhelming, but we couldn't be happier with our decision. From the very first tour, the staff made us feel welcome and reassured. They took the time to answer all of our questions (and there were a lot!) and walked us through what a typical day would look like for our child. The caregivers are not only professional but also incredibly warm and attentive. It's clear they genuinely care for each child as if they were their own. It gives us such peace of mind while we're at work. We are so grateful to have found this daycare. It has made our transition as first-time parents so much easier, and we truly feel like part of a community here. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a nurturing and reliable place for their little one! Special shout out to the ladies at the front desk who have been there to answer all our questions readily, Juliana and Jennie. We'd also like to thank our son's previous teachers in Suite 100. Lastly, we'd like to thank our son's current teachers in suite 150 who he loves so much, most especially Ms. Roshni and Ms. Georgia! read more

It was scary for us to decide on a daycare to trust with our 1st baby, but we are relieved to have found Starfish Scholars. Juliana is amazing, she took her time and answered all our questions at the beginning. She continues to be a great communicator and we love working with her. It was a bit rough at first, as this was a brand new thing to him, but its now been 5 months and everyday goes so very well. He barely looks back to say "bye" now! Hands down, we can't thank Ms. Roshni enough for making this transition possible. She has put our minds at ease and I can see that the way she cares for our baby is something special. She is just amazing at her job and it's very obvious she really cares for these kids. Sooner than I thought, the drop offs got easier and he got more comfortable. Our son really likes her as well as the other teachers. They are the reason we can go to work each morning and not worry about our son. You can check in on 2 cameras, 10 min sessions, 10 times per day, per user. The cameras aren't great, but it does put your mind at ease to have that capability, and eventually, you stop checking in so much. I'm not too crazy about the food provided, but it's all included in the price which makes things very convenient and you can bring in your own food if you want to. Communication is great, prices are fair, staff and teachers are friendly, all in all, we would recommend this location and plan on having our son attend for the long haul. Thank you so very much for taking such great care of our baby! read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Ms. Camilla and Ms. Janeth from Classroom 300. They are truly some of the sweetest, most loving teachers I have ever met. The way they care for the children is incredible--they treat each child as if they were their own, with so much patience, kindness, and genuine love. My daughter Zelie has learned so much in their classroom, and it shows every single day. She absolutely adores her teachers and even says she misses them when she's at home--that alone speaks volumes about the bond they've built with her. What means even more to me is that their care doesn't stop when a child moves on to another classroom. Even though my other daughter, Camille, is not in Classroom 300, Ms. Camilla and Ms. Janeth still show her the same love and attention. They remain just as kind and supportive to both the kids and parents, which is something truly special. I also want to highlight Ms. Ann from Classroom 500. She is absolutely amazing--so funny, warm, and full of energy. Camille loves her so much! The way Ms. Ann plays with the kids as if she were one of them really shows how genuine and sweet she is. She builds such strong bonds with the children, and it's beautiful to see. I especially appreciate how she teaches and prepares them--not just academically, but for life and the outside world. Since being in Classroom 500, Camille has grown so much. She is no longer as shy as she used to be; she's more outgoing, confident, and expressive. Watching her transform into this little "mini adult" makes me so emotional and proud, and I truly owe a big part of that to Ms. Ann. Ms. Jenny is also incredible. She is always attentive and somehow seems to know what you're thinking before you even say anything. That level of awareness shows how much she truly cares. Time and time again, she has proven that she is there when we need her the most. She is also funny and playful with both the kids and the parents, which makes every interaction even more special. Because of all of them--and the entire team--I feel completely confident leaving my children at Starfish Scholars. I know they are safe, happy, and genuinely cared for. The environment truly feels like one big family, and you feel welcomed from the moment you walk through the door. I would recommend this school and all of its teachers in a heartbeat! read more

We are truly so grateful we found this daycare. From the very beginning, the love, patience, and kindness from the teachers and staff have been felt every single day. It's not just a place where our child goes to school it feels like a second home, filled with warmth, care, and genuine hearts. We absolutely cherish how the school celebrates holidays and special moments, and how the children get to express themselves through school projects like painting and drawing. Seeing our child come home excited, proud, and eager to show us their artwork is something we will always treasure. Another blessing we can't thank them enough for is staying open on most holidays, only closing for major ones. Living in Las Vegas, where many parents work on holidays, this level of understanding and support means more to our family than words can express. Just thinking about the day our child grows and has to say goodbye already brings tears to our eyes. Saying goodbye to Mrs. Corny, Mrs. Sammy, and Mrs. Sabah will be incredibly hard, they have become such a meaningful part of our child's life and our family's journey. We will forever be thankful for the love, guidance, and beautiful memories they've given us. This daycare has our whole heart, and we highly recommend it to any parent looking for a place where their child will truly be loved read more

I want to start of by saying this has been the most traumatizing time for my wife and I. Mind you we waited to write this review after we made it up to our son by trying to give him the best day at home after his worst day here. Coming to this daycare for a tour we were met by Ms. Garcia she told us what the baby will be doing and how much he will be learning, basically giving us the comfort we needed so that we can go forward with registering our 13 month old son. We felt pretty sure that this would be a great day care for him because not only will he be in someone's care he will be taught by "teachers". Today we dropped off our son for his first day. Luckily this school provides cameras so we though this would be the comfort we needed. My wife and I continuously checked up on him since the morning. At first things felt normal until we progressed through the day and noticed all the false promises happening. No activities, no love, no care, no teaching (which was most important to us) but also just pure neglect. Our son spent most of his time on a high chair crying while the other kids were on the floor. I did not see a single time where these "teachers" interacted with them besides trying to get through the day. Nap time was almost 3 hours. Which was too excessive for a one year old. We dropped off our son at 7am and finally decided to call it quits by 4 because we never saw them go outside, play, or just be taught and loved. When we arrived at the school to pick him up, we told them that we will no longer continue with the program in the most respectable way possible. Their excuse was that it was his first day, but what about all the other children that have been there. They weren't taught anything. Or played with. It was just the "teachers" trying to survive and not focus on the babies. I asked if there is a refund policy, which is 350 for the week. And they said "no, that's why we suggest you finish the week". Which is obviously not what we care about. Although I am the provider and 350$ is a lot for us, the money didn't matter in this case. I just wanted the best for my son and this "school" is not fit for infants and toddlers. It was until then my son saw me and instantly cried, which broke me because he's been to daycares for a day and never once did he ever cry when I picked him up. This is just to let any first time parents who is seriously looking for a place for their baby to learn and grow in an healthy environment respectfully I would not recommend this place. And to top it off, we sent him with his own diapers and he was returned to us with different diapers on and not once did they use his although they told us to bring our own for him which we never even bought Kirkland brand. These Kirkland diapers were in his bag. My wife and I literally spent the whole evening crying, just learn from our mistake. read more

Ms. Diana P. is amazing! My daughter was struggling with the basics and once she entered Ms. Diana's classroom she became an entirely new kid. Every day she comes home excited to share what Ms. Diana taught her that day. I don't think my daughter would be as excited as she is about learning if it wasn't for Ms. Diana's influence. I can't express the gratitude I have for her and how she has impacted my family. read more
