What can I say about the Prep...In short, it's amazing! From the moment I walked in, I knew this…read morewas the school for us. From the office staff, to the amenities (splash pad, gym, activities, etc.), to the security and cleanliness...everything seemed perfect. Our son started off in the junior toddler class and is now in senior toddler, and both classes have been amazing! The teachers are very attentive and involved with the kids, and I love how they consistently send pictures throughout the day. They always communicate what they did that day, what he ate, even how many times he goes potty. At his old school he always had a bad diaper rash but at The Prep, they change him regularly and document each diaper change. The school is very clean and they focus on hand washing/cleanliness (even before covid) which is huge for a germaphobe like me. What led me to write this review was our most recent experience. We took a break for a few months due to Covid so my son fell behind in his language development. I expressed this concern to them and that same day they started working more with him and are giving us updates on his progress. Words can't express what this means to me. They didn't dismiss me...They care enough to take that extra time with him and send us those updates. The office staff is also amazing. They communicate with us so well and are always happy to answer my questions. I've been impressed with their involvement with the kids too. They genuinely care! They have handled this covid thing so well by communicating and enforcing measures to ensure everyone is safe. We are so so impressed with this school, and it's worth noting; My sister sends her 4 year old son there too and has had an equally positive experience. We feel comfortable leaving our kids there and have not had one red flag this entire time. They both love it there, and so do we! Thank you Prep for taking good care of my son and my nephew!!

I scheduled a tour and showed up and no one was there and I tried called three times and no one…read moreanswered. Very unprofessional.

My son transferred to the Craig Ranch location from a different Goddard in November. At the time he…read morewas 2 1/2 years old, and after being enrolled in the Get Set class for only TWO WEEKS he went from being in pull-ups to being potty trained. That was something he really struggled with at his previous school. His teachers Jasmine and Sky were amazing, and so patient with him to get him on track and help him open up. With a new baby coming he had a lot of changes which made some days tough, but they always showed nothing but patience and love to him. The schools owner, director, and assistant directors are always very well engaged and attentive during drop offs and pick ups. And when children are having tough days leaving their parents, someone is always there to give a hug and lend a hand. All the teachers I've interacted with as a parent have really cared about my child, and he is honestly thriving in the school. He is now in the preschool program and asks for his teacher DAILY! I've personally worked in the childcare field for a number of years, and now being a parent I'm very happy with my families experience here. I have nothing but great things to say, and I'm excited to see how our son will continue to grow here.

This preschool is an absolute disaster. The staff are inattentive and seem untrained, ignoring…read morekids' needs while chatting amongst themselves. The facility is filthy--sticky floors, grimy toys, and a bathroom that looks like it's never been cleaned. No wonder there is a lice outbreak right now! Curriculum is disorganized, with zero structure or learning focus; it's basically chaos. The teachers do their own thing while claiming they write their lessons and follow a program to help. Even books are given in the curriculum and they are not used as parents are told. The "snacks" are cheap. Communication with parents is nonexistent--good luck getting a response without being berated by the front office staff with an attitude. Michelle, Tanny and Annabel are all involved in this. Avoid this place at all costs; it' not worth it.

She makes sure our kid is well behaved and expresses her feelings. I can see lot of improvements in my daughter both personally and academically. Ms Sowmya is always reachable in person and Kayambu App. My daughter is excited to go to school and enjoys being with her friends and teachers. We had a wonderful birthday party for my daughter at her classroom. The directors and teachers in the school are very friendly, flexible and welcoming. We enjoyed lot of celebration's happened at school... Will definitely recommend this school to everyone!

Oh how I wish I could give this place NEGATIVE stars!…read more My daughter started attending this place when she was less than a year old (August 2022). I had a friend whose daughter was in the Kindergarten class and had nice things to say about it. My husband and I toured it and I didn't get warm fuzzies right away from the director, Connie, but we moved forward with the enrollment process because we needed child care asap. Right away we did tell the director that our daughter has multiple severe food allergies and we filled out all the appropriate paperwork and provided her benadryl and epi-pen right away. FIRST INCIDENT: Not even two months after enrollment, we picked up my daughter on a Friday and after an hour being home she started breaking out in hives everywhere. She didn't have anything to eat at home. My husband had to give her the epi-pen. Right away, I sent an email to the director and let her know what happened. Connie let us know that her normal teachers weren't in the class that day, it could have been possible that someone gave her something she wasn't supposed to have. Of course by Monday the people we talked to couldn't remember if she ate something. The learning moment from that was that a teacher would sit by her at every meal/snack. My daughter was in the older infant class and we liked her teachers in there, never had problems. It wasn't until the summer of this year problems started happening. She moved into the younger toddler class, her teachers in there were also nice and loving to the students. This summer the owner decided to sell their Castle Montessori to Cadence Education. The director, Connie, left and the admin left not long after her. The new director, Ms. Nilima, was not approachable and very cold in those first weeks, maybe up to a month. She never made eye contact when my daughter and I entered the building. How could you not acknowledge who enters the building, especially at a child care facility?! During the summer we enrolled my Kindergartener here for their summer program. WORST program ever! We paid weekly tuition that was supposed to include weekly field trips, which some were cancelled due to the weather but nothing was every rescheduled. It was a waste of money. The final straw was when my daughter had ANOTHER allergic reaction!!! They claimed that she woke up in hives, ok, the director called us multiple times (I work in an area where I can't have my phone with me), she didn't leave my husband and I voicemails. My husband called back and the person on the phone just asked if they can give my daughter benadryl and of course he said yes. He decided to go to the school and they did NOTHING. She was covered in hives, she should have been given her epi-pen based on the emergency plan we provided. Ms. Nilima wasn't around, and my daughter was in her classroom, with her teachers putting her eczema lotion on her. She should have at least been at the front office being monitored for anaphylaxis. Multiple emails were exchanged after this incident. The director's responses were just appalling, with no empathy, and thinking she knows better than what a doctor says to do in an emergency. We pulled her out immediately, there was NO WAY we could trust this place every again. We had a meeting with the director a few days after the incident, she finally apologized and took full responsibility. She mentioned her staff will go through more training, but the damage was done. We demanded our full deposit back and never looked back. What really got me fired up was when I asked the director if they were going to self report themself to the state regarding this incident. Her response was no because an ambulance or ER visit didn't occur....WTF?!?!? Herself and the staff was clearly not capable of handling the situation.....or reading an emergency plan and FOLLOWING it. Honestly, I hope every parent reads this and stays far, far, away! This incident happened end of August this year and still makes my blood boil.

As soon as we took a tour of daffodils he was so excited! He has been so happy to come to school every Day. The teachers and director are so personal and sweet. They know all the kid's by name. They also do fun activities. You can tell they really care for the Kids!

We are the grandparents of one of the students at Daffodils and have found the administrative…read morepersonnel and teachers to be warm and compassionate people. Our experience has been extremely pleasing. In addition to our grandson having been taught effective socialization skillsets and being prepared educationally to proceed to kindergarten, it is gratifying to think that these people truly do care for the little lives entrusted to them and that they go the extra mile. A case in point...recently our grandson unfortunately was not able to attend the "graduation" ceremony the school was having. With no prompting from our grandson's father, when he went to school the following Monday, the school personnel took the time to dress him up in his cap and gown, take pictures in front of the graduation backdrops, and then sent those pictures to our son for future reference and memories. Our sincere appreciation goes out to those involved in doing so. From our experience, and there have been others, we would highly recommend Daffodils Preschool.
