I have been a staff support teacher at NPDS for 8 years. One of the main reasons I chose to work…read moreat NPDS is the high quality of teaching that is expected from all our teachers. NPDS has reached the highest level of accreditation because the teachers are the highest trained in the business. The concern, care and love the teachers have for all the children make NPDS a warm, secure, safe and faithful school where all our children learn and thrive. I am also greatly appreciative of the parents who entrust their children to us and work hard to support and make NPDS a top-tier early childhood learning space.

My son would come home absolutely starving and thirsty. Several times we would pick him up and his diaper would be filled to the brim although according to the app that we had set up it was just changed a few minutes before. I went to the leadership and they would just feed me the party line. Things would change for a day or two and then things would be back to the same.

However, storing cots in bathrooms(major red flag)completely unacceptable! As an early childhood educator with over 20 years of professional experience, this practice has never been allowed and raises serious health, safety, and licensing concerns. Programs should strive to exceed minimum standards--not settle for what is considered "acceptable" in Texas. This mindset is part of why Texas ranks so low nationally in education. Parents need to pay close attention to these details. Additionally, communication with assistant teachers needs significant improvement. The level of care and oversight from the lead teacher to assistants in the afternoon is lacking and needs immediate attention. After school care providers never seem to know what going on. Get to know your kids, on an individual level, know their needs and pay attention. Toddlers/preschoolers should not be without water especially during snack or meal times.

This school was a terrible experience for my family. While other parents were getting regular…read moreupdates and pictures of their children, I received almost nothing. Communication was constantly a struggle -- I was often called at work about missing items even though I always asked ahead of time if anything was needed. When I did get updates, it was usually last-minute, leaving me scrambling within an hour to fix things. What hurt the most was when my child was hit in the face by another student, and I wasn't told until more than three hours later. No parent should have to find out something like that long after it happens. As a foster parent, I work hard to give my children stability and comfort, but this school made that transition so much harder than it needed to be. I truly hope no other parent has to go through what we did. Please look for a different preschool where your child will be cared for, and where you'll be treated like a valued parent -- not an afterthought.

I am writing this review almost a year after my child's disenrollment because I wanted time to…read moreprocess what happened and ensure I was sharing this experience thoughtfully. During that time, my family genuinely loved and appreciated the teachers and staff. We intentionally built positive relationships with staff and regularly showed our appreciation through small gifts. My 17-month-old child was disenrolled effective immediately following a disagreement between Ashlee and me regarding paperwork that I was told needed to be returned the following day. After 14 months of enrollment, I was informed that the center did not have paperwork on file, including documents containing my child's medical history, emergency procedures, and other important information. I expressed confusion and frustration because this was the first time we had ever been told anything was missing. I was then informed that if the paperwork was not returned the following day, my child would not be allowed to attend. As a parent, I found this concerning because the missing paperwork was not something we had knowingly withheld, nor had we previously been informed that it was missing. When I questioned the situation and expressed my concerns, Ashlee responded by saying, "Maybe we're not the right fit for you. I can go grab your kid's things and we can disenroll right now." My husband and I looked at each other in complete disbelief. I told her I felt that response was excessive and respectfully asked if I could wait to speak with Megan or Christina as they had historically been the individuals we were directed to when questions arose. Ashlee told me that the decision was final because she was also in charge. The conversation continued for approximately 30 minutes. I repeatedly tried to understand the rationale behind the decision. I even apologized if I had offended her by referencing Megan and Christina as the individuals in charge. I explained that my understanding came from prior interactions in which Ashlee herself had deferred questions to them when she was uncertain. I also sat down & began completing the paperwork. Despite my efforts to resolve the situation, I was repeatedly told the decision was final. During the conversation, Ashlee stepped away several times to make phone calls & also referenced a prior misunderstanding I had with Megan regarding medication, claiming that I had previously been "warned." This characterization was surprising to me because Megan had never approached me in a manner that suggested I was being reprimanded or warned. Every interaction I had with Megan was respectful, and understanding. The same was true of my interactions with Christina. It is also important to note that I was 8 months pregnant at the time, and this occurred around 6:00 PM on a Monday. Most daycare centers in the area were already closed for tours, yet I was suddenly being told my child no longer had childcare because I questioned a situation involving missing paperwork. What made the situation especially upsetting was that Ashlee stated she had been having a hard day. To this day, it is difficult not to feel that an uneqquiped lead had an emotional reaction and played a role in a permanent decision that significantly impacted my family. The following day, I spoke with Christina and confidently asked that they review the security footage because I knew I had never yelled at Ashlee, despite being told that was reported to management. While frantically touring new childcare centers and taking unexpected PTO that I had hoped to save for my upcoming maternity leave. Christina did call me back after watching the surveillance footage & she didn't see my yell at Ashlee either (no audio just visual clips) but understandably like any professional company, they had to go through with the decision. It would look very poorly on them to backtrack/ not support a teammate. At that point, I informed Christina that even if my child had been welcomed back, I would not have returned. The trust had been broken, both by the immediate disenrollment and by the allegation that I had yelled when I had not. Fortunately, all four childcare centers I toured with all the same perks as this center, accepted my child. Three were prepared to enroll us for the very next day. Several administrators I spoke with expressed concerns with how poorly the situation had been handled. Today, both of my children are thriving at their current daycare. However, I feel compelled to share this experience so that other parents can make informed decisions. My recommendation is that any communication, questions, or concerns be directed to Megan or Christina ONLY. Lastly, I was informed that I would receive a follow-up call from corporate customer service regarding the treatment my family experienced and the circumstances surrounding the disenrollment. Despite being told there would be further investigation, I never received that call. This whole experience was extremely traumatic.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience in any of the classroom's our son was in…read more More specifically, we want to thank Ms. Jennifer and Ms. Ashlee for taking such great care of him as an infant. As any parent that has put a child, especially an infant, into a school knows, it's hard handing that child over and it takes a lot of trust. Both of you provided just that in how you took care of him and constantly communicated with us. We could see how much you cared for him and the other babies. We also want to thank Ms. Miranda and Ms. Kat for the care they show to all the kiddos in their classroom's and for giving our son a great experience. Each day, he is excited to go to school (he literally runs to the door when we ask him if he's ready) and that is because of both of you and how he is treated in the classroom. And lastly, we want to thank Megan and Ms. Christina. It is very apparent to us how passionate you are about the kids that come into La Petite. You both show great care and love, and fiercely protect them. We never saw this kind of care from the precious school he came from, it was all business to them. And while this is a business, you both make it clear that the kids always come first. We can truly see the love and care that the entire facility gives each of the children, so thank you for everything!

I am appalled at what I have found out about how the teachers at this school have treated a student…read moreof theirs. My 3 year old niece has been bullied and mentally abused by her teacher. Forced to eat alone, told that she's difficult, impossible and stupid. A BABY!!!! Coming home and crying saying she's impossible and stupid. How is that acceptable? There is simply NO excuse for an adult to treat a child like this! This is disturbing beyond belief. And when brought to the principles attention, they had the audacity to accuse the parents of the child not getting enough sleep. I mean... what kind of response is this? Total lack of accountability, not acknowledging the damage done to the child and how unprofessional the teacher acted. We found out about this behavior because another student was going home upset!!! Other children were traumatized by the way the teacher had been treating their friend/ classmate! The damage done by bullying has affects that stick with people for years! Look at how many horror stories of kids ending their life from bullying. And this school is fostering it! Allowing and defending the teachers who are doing it. I am sick. Disgusted. And furious. How dare they. This is purely unacceptable and I look forward to the day karma reaches you.

From day one they were welcoming they really care about each child's education also molding them as a person.

This is an actual school with the real curriculums if you are moving to the area stop by! You won't regret it I promise you! Hidden gem in San Antonio!

My son attended IJAK for a year and I wanted to share our personal experience with the daycare…read more Pros: Holiday events, monthly newsletter with instructional focus, flexible hours Cons: - There are no cameras - They do not send updates on how your child is doing throughout the day (not even end of day paper updates or report cards) - Teachers are encouraged not to share how your child's day "really" went - There isn't any kind of security at the drop off gate when dropping children off or picking them up which is very scary/concerning. Just the owner's husband walking around - Sometimes we'd pick our son up and he'd be in a different classroom with teachers we've never seen and older kids in there as well - We would often pick him up and his clothes were filthy - We used to receive artwork and evidence of learning, but it all suddenly stopped Last, a big piece of advice would be to make sure any communication to/from the owner/manager is in writing.
