We looked at several daycares for my infant daughter and within seconds of walking into La Petite…read moreon Highgate, we knew this was the place. Our first impression was that the daycare center was clean, has high security at the front door, and there are windows and security cameras with a huge TV to ensure maximum safety. After many months, this is still true. Everyone here values safety above all else. But the best part absolutely came down to the fantastic and wonderful teachers and the super kind director Renee. They all care about my daughter so much and bring up any concerns they have very promptly. This goes for all the teachers here, not just the infant room teachers--they all love my daughter and know her by name. I attribute my daughter's happy disposition (even though she's only five months old) due to the upbeat, sweet, kind, and excited caregivers here. She is always smiling when I sneak up on her to pick her up and I truly know she is having a good time. I trust all of the teachers and they are very prompt with the Brightwheel app as well. I always know when my daughter ate, napped, and had a diaper change. I am happy we have found a place for my daughter that I can always rely on.

In the words of Vera G. from 2023: "Look elsewhere, seriously."…read more After many, many interactions with the center's current director Amy Boyette, I fully believe Amy is engaged in active covering up of abuse and neglect happening at the Children's Campus. I am in the processing of reporting this. Amy was made aware of our daughter's multiple health issues including anaphalytic responses to various foods as well as suspected celiac disease (where gluten exposure could potentially damage her intestines). Amy said we could bring own our food for our daughter, but that they could not make food accessible to her (fine, we were ok with that). Eventually our daughter grew out of several allergies which made us more at ease, but her doctors were still waiting until she was older for celiac testing. I came to find out multiple times that the staff continued to not only provide our daughter gluten meals (with bread and everything) from the school lunches by accident, but also that one of the teachers was intentionally feeding our daughter food from her own packed lunches - completely against our daughter's allergy action plan that was on file. The teacher told me she had given her sweet potato from her lunch that "only had butter on it" and I was filled with rage because our daughter at the time had a cow milk protein allergy that previously had given her very severe hives and vomiting. I informed the teacher that butter is in fact dairy. The primary teacher of the classroom said she had been trying to get the second teacher to stop feeding children in the classroom her lunches from home, but was not having success with this and Amy and the management would not step in. When I would ask Amy for a meeting to discuss the very urgent health-related concerns, she would avoid responding to my requests and just say that the problem was solved when it wasn't. She would never offer any solutions until I would point out repeatedly that the current system was not working and she was not offering new systems. I even shared information with her about how other centers have more safety-focused allergy food systems in place but she did not seem the slightest bit interested to learn more or even about how to protect my child or other children at the center. In addition to not following our daughter's allergy action plan, there were multiple days where we would pick her up and she would not have been given any fluids and the majority of her lunches where not offered to her (pouches, string cheese, etc. completely unopened). She was there for over 8 hours, on multiple occasions, with her water bottle untouched (we had to supply her own water bottle each day freshly to avoid allergy issues and the line we brought it in at was always in the same place as when we dropped her off and she would consistently be constipated from not being offered proper fluids). When I would confront the teachers about this they would cite being too busy or being pulled out of the classroom to attend other things. When I would confront Amy about this she would placate me and also continue to insinuate I was over-reacting or that my daughter just "wasn't hungry" that day (how would you know if she was hungry if you never offered her the food?) Eventually Amy said her "plan" was to set reminders her on phone to go into the classroom to remind the teachers to feed my child at the designated 4 meal times. She did this for maybe 2 days and then again things returned to being without documentation and my daughter often not being given fluids. I cannot emphasize enough that despite the center having an app for documenting diapers, meals, naps, etc. - I almost never in the 6 months my child was there had any documentation of what was happening throughout her day. There would be brief moments on days where a few items would be input, but most often we would pick her up with almost no idea of what happened that day. Teachers freely admitted to me when my daughter was an infant that safe sleep protocols were never followed, and that the meal plan is never what was published by the management. One day we arrived to drop our daughter off and the teachers were freaking out that they had been given a nearly empty bag of cereal that was supposed to feed breakfast to a room full of children. They say there is a "schedule" and that is an absolute joke because no one there is following a schedule (at least in room 2). We were given no protocol or steps to follow in checking out from our time at the center, and so my husband still has a fob to a daycare where we no longer have a child there. How many other fobs are lingering out there with adults who shouldn't have them and whose children are no longer there? I could go on and on about how horrible of experience we had at this center. We chose it because allegedly it was locally run and well liked. Found out later from staff that (allegedly) it's just run by a family in Florida who is pretty neglectful of it.

Look elsewhere, seriously…read more Our daughter began attending this daycare in the summer of 2022 and was 2 years old at the time - in the 2s class for clarification. From the moment I met her teacher, I wasn't impressed. She didn't give the kids a big happy greeting, hardly introduced herself to us and honestly, I just got a bad vibe. Within a month of attending, my daughter came home and reported she been hit on her bottom by this teacher. I reported this to the daycare director, and my concerns were dismissed, and it was obvious I wasn't taken seriously. A few months later, I came to pick up my daughter early, and walked in at quiet time (same teacher) and the teacher YELLED at a kid so loud it made me jump and I'm 32 years old. Worst of all, the very first day when the kids returned to school after Christmas break, my daughter had a horrible experience: I came to get her early that day, and everyone was just going down for quiet time (they couldn't have been down longer than 15 minutes). When I walked in the door, my daughter was wailing on her mat with tears streaming down her face. I knelt down and she ran to me, climbing into my arms begging to leave. When we stepped outside the classroom, my daughter reported the teacher had pulled her legs so hard it hurt, and that the teacher was very mad at her and needed to be nice to her. I emailed the director who said she would speak with the teacher and review the video footage. The director emailed again to say she'd reviewed the footage and she could assure me there was nothing to be concerned about, but we should meet face to face later in the week to which I agreed. At the meeting, my husband and I were shown the video where by the director's account, nothing inappropriate occurred. As I watched the video, my heart began to race as rage flooded my body. I watched with disgust as a daycare provider angrily took my (now 3 year old) child's blanket from her, grabbed her by her legs and aggressively yanked her down her mat. The teacher then walked away, leaving my daughter crying and went to sit back down - no remorse, no attempt to console, nothing. I don't recall much after the video ended. My husband says I started to yell, loudly. I remember asking the director to explain what part of that video showed the level of care and compassion parents expect their children to be shown when in another's care. The director later emailed to say, "I do sincerely apologize for the turn it took and the misrepresentation of my evaluation of the incident." We reported this to NCDHHS, who cited a violation of G.S. 110-91(10); comments: "Each child was not attended to in a nurturing and appropriate manner, or in keeping with the child's developmental needs. On January 2, 2023, a staff member repositioned a three-year-old child on their mat by pulling the child by the legs." We moved our daughter to a different class, and within a month decided to withdraw her from the program. It's been 6 months, and she still talks about this and is scared of attending school. The emotional damage this has done to our daughter is heartbreaking. The teacher, as of our daughter's last day at the daycare, had not been terminated. NCDHHS reports the director and teacher have taken an online class which is hardly sufficient.

Okay, everything about this place was incredible. I was truly blown away…read more First of all, it's super clean. We came here at a 3pm on a Monday afternoon and there was maybe one or two other guests playing there. It was a quiet start. Even with the uptick in guests later on, the employees were consistently cleaning up after the children and putting toys back to where they had originally been. It's $12 per kid with adult and $4 per additional adult guest. They don't currently offer membership options but they do have discounted Open Play package plans available: 4 play sessions for $44, 8 play sessions for $84, or 16 sessions for $156. They are designed for children aged 6 months up to 6 years. I absolutely loved the music they played which can best be described as low-fi and chill vibes all around. Just as an example, El Michels Affair- C.R.E.A.M. I can honestly say that this is the first time I've heard music sampling Wu-Tang at a kids play place but I ain't mad about it. There are classes on Mondays and Fridays for the "older kids" aged 3-6. The room looked super cool. They start off with a circle time style stories and songs then move off to the (baby) gated area with multiple sensory play experiences set up on tables. They've got a "calm room" complete with sensory sequined pillow and other touch opportunities, puzzles, books, glitter tubes, and noice cancelling headphones for kids feeling overwhelmed or needing to decompress. There is a variety of robots/toy cars/bugs on shelves on the left hand wall for kids to play with in the quiet (calm) room. The 2 bugs are the only ones that are not remote control operated and can be played with in the main play area. Ask an employee for help and they will unlock the cabinet and provide you with the remote control and instructions for how to operate these toys. They've got wi-fi, classes, so much fun stuff everywhere, and a food and drink area that offers kid snacks for purchase as well as complimentary coffee and tea for the adults! Amazing. Everything about the Wonder Lab is so thoughtfully designed. It is such a cozy and fun and welcoming place and you can really see and feel the effort put into the play space. All the spaces are utilized so well and with varying themes throughout (outer space, arctic felt wall, etc). I could go on and on. I love the Wonder Lab!!!

PLEASE READ before you enroll with Our Playhouse Preschool…read more The philosophy is a dream and it all looks and feels picture perfect when you are there BUT the Owners are NOT trustworthy and have wreaked havoc on the Lexington KY community- where they opened a school in 2015 and suddenly closed it with a 2 week notice in January of 2019. To make a very long story short, the owners, without warning to parents or teachers, closed the school with a two week notice in January of 2019. They never paid any of the parents back their deposits, which they require for each student that enrolls unless you pay in full for the entire year. They never paid any of the parents back that had paid in full for the school year (through May). Mostly though, they crushed many people and good hearts in the process. They broke the contracts they had with each family and have never paid them back the money they are owed. Please, don't let this happen to your family! With the best intentions, I warn you about these people. Please, look out for yourselves!!

Whether you're looking for a morning care (8:30-12:30p) or extended care (12:30-5:00p), they will have you covered. The director of the school, Danielle, is always in sight and I'm pretty sure she knows every child by name, she is very personable as are all of the staff I've interacted with. OPH is not your ordinary daycare. They have a structured schedule for the children while allowing them to express themselves and make decisions (encouraging independence). Children are encouraged to express themselves their own playful, creative nature and are guided by teachers acting as co-learners to express their own creativity and embracing an idea that they themselves are their greatest teachers. I've never seen more loving teachers, they truly have a desire to motivate children to be the best they can be as individuals and in a safe environment. There is much attention given to creating and collaborating with classmates. If you have children ages two through kindergarten, I definitely recommend checking out Our PlayHouse as a possible child's care program. You can't walk into the school without having a feeling of excitement yourself seeing all the children's creations and experiments displayed around the open area. And you can't miss all the gardens that the children plant themselves in the spring! They also have summer camp if you're looking for a summer solution!
