The director raised her voice at me in the center for staying after drop off to help my daughter get a drink after the teacher stated that my daughter could not take water on her field trip. The staff and everyone in the center was not wearing masks so I thought maybe they were done requiring it in the building, oh no! They required it for parents still, so the next day I wore one, of course! But for 2 days I was emailed and called about how I NEED TO WEAR A MASK and how I argued and disagree with the policy and that I can "leave the center if you don't like it". I was thinking maybe the director was just stressed with everything going on during the pandemic so I offered her coffee and lunch, but she said she's fine so that tells me that her true colors just started to show after a period of time. This used to be such a wonderful center until it was over worked and underpaid

It is much less expensive than the many other centers I looked at and it's in a good location for me and my husband to drop off and pick up.

The first day I started, Health and Welfare was investigating the facility. I watched the infant teacher handle the babies too rough and the school-age teacher tell the children to "shut up". When I approached the director with this startling information, she simply nodded her head and defended them both. At that point, it was obvious that she was aware of and condoned the poor treatment. Health and Welfare launched more investigations while I was there, but never found anything conclusive enough to take further action. The facility is unclean and the owner is a money-hungry real estate agent.

A full year in the books being with Katie's Kids preschool and our family has never been happier!…read more I personally have been involved in my kid's daycares before we moved to Eagle, ID (and also my oldest daughter's school experience being that she is special needs), so I am a bull dog mama making sure the right people are taking care of my kids. The teachers and staff working at Katie's Kids along with Katie herself are exactly who I want molding and helping my children learn and grow. To be honest, reading one of these negative views gets my blood boiling because Katie works so hard to give/provide the best possible experience and atmosphere for our children and her staff. Katie is a BOSS LADY because she has has built her business from the ground up and to be honest if it were a man we were talking about no one would be questioning it. Women need to be lifting other women up not trying to tear them apart. Also, Katie is more direct then most so because she is direct and has strict policy on sickness/illness (to protect her and the school from liability) she is now seen as a rude?!! My kids have had Hand foot, Mouth, pink eye, etc. so we have had to take our kids out for days and weeks at a time. Unfortunately, that is part of the drill when your kids go to daycare/school. They are going to get sick sometimes more often especially if they are new. And believe me it's hard working with your kids home but if your kids are sick or have a contagious bug then no matter what school they are at you would have to keep them home. What I really want to emphasize is that the teachers are happy and you can tell they are part of a family there and I feel that way too. Katie and Wendy are always available; their door is always open if I need to discuss anything but I find myself sharing our lives and all the positive things my kiddos are doing and learning. Leaving your children everyday in the care of someone else is scary and hard to do. I have had family help raising my children, previous day care facilities, an in home facility and school so I know all facets of this industry. That said, I have an almost 2 year old and a 5 year old at Katie's (my oldest is in 1st grade) and we feel good dropping them off EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. My kids are loved and celebrated. They are taught to be kind, respectful and overall good humans which is hard to come by in this day and age. We are blessed to have Katie and her staff in our lives taking care of our children while my husband and I both work and I hope you check it out and find out how wonderful it is for yourself!

When they picked him up NO ONE knew what had happened to him. Complete NEGLECT!!! What makes this even more disturbing is the extremely concerning teacher-to-child ratio. There are reportedly around 15 children to just one teacher. That is not supervision -- that is a recipe for neglect and unsafe conditions. Children this young require constant attention, monitoring, and protection, especially during nap time when they are most vulnerable. The fact that something like this could happen raises serious questions about the level of oversight, staffing, and safety procedures at this facility. Parents trust daycares with their most precious thing in the world -- their children. When that trust is broken in such a traumatic way, it cannot be ignored. I strongly urge other parents to ask very hard questions before enrolling their children here, and I sincerely hope that the appropriate licensing authorities investigate this facility immediately. No family should have to go through something like this. Children deserve safety, not neglect.
