Our son have been attending Kids Rule Academy for 4 months now. As a parent I am very happy and…read morevery satisfied with this daycare! Teachers are very professional and friendly with the kids. Every day our son is super excited to head out to daycare and has the most amazing time there all day. Lots of learning time, playtime and fun/educational activities. I get multiple emails from teachers every day with descriptions of daily activities as well as pictures. The fact the KRA has cameras in every room and playgrounds is a huge plus. I can log in and watch what my kids is doing anywhere and anytime! Amazing feature! I would highly recommend Kids Rule Academy to every parent who is looking for a perfect daycare for their kids!

This was not the childcare facility for our family. We went through 2 tours/discussions with the…read moreDirector before selecting this as the place to enroll our daughter. Unfortunately, in practice, we did not find KRA the same as what they advertised from our questions/expectations; and, at times, we found some of their policies concerning compared to our other daycare experiences. We withdrew our daughter after 3 days. I should start by saying, we have had 2 AMAZING previous daycares. In fairness, our standards may just be significant higher than most because we have seen it done better. I think if this is your only daycare experience it may not be the worst thing in the world, but it did not align with previous practices that we have come to rely on. These were my primary concerns with the toddler rooms: * Issue: Limited communication with parents. We asked about daily logs/App and we were promised a daily personalized email from the teachers regarding your kids day and any pertinent info. In practice, we got a generic (and in broken english) bcc'd email to all parents that did not include diapering, feeding, or napping info. This detail level was common practice at previous daycares and is required by state law (diapers). Without this info, at KRA we had concerns about them not changing her diaper at an appropriate rate; especially when she came home with a rash (and had not had one in over a year). Once we exited, there were only 5 diapers missing for 2.5 days (approximately 22hrs in their care which seemed really low). At previous daycares, they changed her every 2hrs per state law and went through 4-5 diapers per day. To me as a parent, this lack of communication was key because it helps me prep for the evening we are going to have at home (did she poop yet or does her tummy hurt? Is she starving and need a snack or can she wait for dinner? Did she nap for 1hr or 3hrs to help determine bedtime?) * Issue: Teacher to student ratios. We were concerned about engagement with our child after observing a classroom + ratios since she is a younger kid moving into an older classroom. We were told it was an off day and awkward time as they were prepping for snack. They said they complied within state regulations. In watching her classroom, the ratio was 10 kids to 2 teachers. State requirement is 8:2 for our daughters age group. Morning drop off was worse with 12+ kids to 1 teacher that we witnessed on their camera system. Additionally, we watched our daughter be ignored while crying in a corner after another kid hit her, we saw very little interaction at the kid level (playing on the floor with them), etc. When we left, the owner called this classroom "glorified babysitters". *Issue: Security. At our first daycare, I had to badge into the daycare building. At our second, they use a finger print scanner. At KRA, they leave the doors open. A friend of ours while touring witnessed older kids running outside without supervision because of the unlocked doors/lack of front desk near the doors. (PS we have never visited a daycare where we didn't have to buzzed in except this one). Additionally, due to the room set up (no windows on doors) older kid rooms doors are left open. This only became an issue during drop-off when the student-teacher ratio was so high. 2 older kids dashed out of the room, and the teacher followed them. This left 10+ kids unattended for a few minutes while she chased them down. * Issue: Safety. There was an unreported and undocumented level of care to a deep scrap on my daughters thigh. It had bled but no one could tell me if they treated it or not. I get they may not have seen what happened (she is almost 2 and falls a lot), but there still should have been an accident report from a regulation standpoint. *Issue: TV Time: We witnessed on the camera system a lot of TV time (more than what they told to us when we first asked about TVs in all the classrooms) and with that a lack of teacher involvement with the kids. The kids in the toddler class also seemed less verbal than what we were used to at other daycares and I believe that it comes from a lack engagement. We had a lot of developmental concerns here since our daughter has been considered advanced up to this point and we did not want to see her fall behind. Obviously not everyone has had this experience with them and they have some good clientele (doctors, lawyers, bankers). But, after 2 days, I consulted a friend in the industry and she said a lot of these practices would not be tolerated. It was at that point we decided to withdraw her.

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).

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.

They were kind enough to have my laundry done the next day so I could make my flight, which is normally out of the question for them because of the high volume they handle. I was genuinely grateful they made it happen. I also want to add this: I have had some horrible experiences at other places where my clothing came back forever damaged, shrunk, stained, or treated like it did not matter. That did not happen here. Everything came back clean, folded, and handled with care, and it felt good coming back home to clothes that still looked like mine. On top of that, I was glad to support a local family business that clearly takes pride in their work. If you value good service and careful handling, in my humble opinion, Joy Cleaners is worth it.

We put our nephew to Menomonee fall stared on January. We were nervous before but we couldn't be happier with our experience at this preschool! The new management has truly transformed the center -- their passion, professionalism, and care for the children shine through in everything they do. The environment is nurturing, organized, and full of enriching activities that keep the kids engaged and excited to learn. Ms Gladys and Aliyah is great teacher and Brianna is always there to support. Communication with parents has been excellent, and it's clear that the staff is committed to each child's development and well-being. We've seen such positive growth in our little one, both socially and academically. Highly recommend this preschool to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and inspiring place for their child! read more
