My 3 yr old I didn't realize how much care and love her 2 yr old teacher put in until she commented one day that she didn't have to sit there rubbing her back for nap time and she was able to self soothe now. The teachers truly care that the kids feel cared for, safe and loved. The outdoor spaces are great and separated by age appropriate things and they do so many art projects as well. The staff are kind and understanding with parents when you call to check in if your child had a big feelings day and drop off was challenging. We love it there!

They just seem to really keep him engaged and it's never a fight during drop off. When we found LPW we had to go on their waiting list but they were very prompt and communicative when a spot opened up in their Waddler classroom for him. I highly recommend this place if you're in the area and need childcare!!

Very focused on the kids. We have not had any issues with any of the teachers and been through many of them. Even when my daughter was mid-potty training and having daily accidents, we did not get a complaint. We never had to worry about the quality of care they received. I would highly suggest stopping by and seeing for yourself. It's very noticeable that this kindercare is the best managed daycare in the area.

All of my kids have loved going everyday and have so much fun learning and playing. Lil People's World has been a major part of our lives for so long, I am sad that my last baby will be graduating out and starting school next year. It's truly sad to think of the family we are leaving behind. Over the last 14 years we have made so many friends a long the way that will be lifetime friends. Thank you for being such a big part in our lives for so long! We will definitely be popping in to say Hi!!!!

The director, Jenee, and the management team are also invested in the children's well-being and development and want the children to thrive and learn through play and various fun/creative activities. I was nervous to make the transition from having a nanny to daycare, but I know my daughter is in great hands and she is very happy to attend LPW.

My partner and i arrived for a tour, unannounced. We were asked to wait at the door- holding the…read moredoor open staff came through didn't acknowledge us at all. Once we were asked in, no one asked our names or introduced themselves. the enrollment coordinator walked us through the center, no clear answers to questions about curriculum, teacher retention or did she ask us any questions about what we were looking for etc. the one thing she did say off the bat is that while they do accept DSHS they do not accept children from CPS. Seems a little like discrimination to me... children need a place that they can feel safe in. not sure i would enroll based on the fact that the person giving the tour did not take the time to get some information about us or trey to build that connection with us. Must not want that enrollment that bad.

We were here 5 months 2 days/week infant care and paid $1172/month (tuition increased as of…read more9/1/23). Pros: -self-selected auto-pay schedule -classroom cameras -parent messaging app with picture/video capabilities -cute artwork/crafts -Ms. Vivian (floater) is AMAZING! My son loved her! -Ms. Alaina was great (she has left) -polite and friendly staff Cons: -lack of active supervision= safety concerns. We walked in on another child, ~2 months older, crawling on my then immobile son, who was trapped in a boppy while teachers reorganized cubbies on the other side of the room. On his last day, a child walked up and took all the toys (~5) he was playing with. Then another child (same child as first incident) crawled on top of him, sat on his waist/upper thighs and repeatedly hit his belly ~6 times. An adult was sitting less than 5 feet away and did not intervene, presumably because she did not see it. The child crawled away independently, and I picked my son up early. He did not have any marks on him, or I would have brought it to administration's attention. -communication: I made the mistake of thinking a parent app with opportunities to input meals/diaper changes, message and share pictures/video meant that we would have positive, strong communication. Responses are usually delayed, if received at all, parent requests are not necessarily honored, etc. As a former teacher, I tried to be up front about things going on at home (ie job changes, returning to work, sleep changes/training, etc.), but was met with judgement and push back which I found disappointing and off-putting. I'm paying for daycare, not parenting advice. Daily reports had some inaccuries as to number of feedings (i.e., report says ate 4 times but only sent 5 bottles and 2 sent back unused) and type of milk given (i.e., said my exclusively breastfed baby was given formula then after switching to formula said given breastmilk); however, staff assured me these were reporting errors only and he received only the bottles we sent. -school-like, rigid environment: no drop offs after 10 AM, progress reports though no staff training/education, etc. My baby isn't developmentally ready for school; he's 7 months old. If he needs to take his first nap at home and come in late, he should be able to. Also, I work from home, if I have meetings and cannot drop off until later in the morning, I shouldn't have to ask for permission to bring him late. I pay for the day, whether he comes in or not, so I should be able to bring him in when it's best for us. -This is a business and it feels like it. They nickel and dime you everywhere, you have to provide your own gloves for diaper changes for goodness sakes! -Staff are asked to do too much. My son started daycare at 10 weeks old. We don't have family in the area, so daycare was the first time our son was consistently separated from us, and it obviously caused him some distress. We would pick him up, his eyes/face would be red, puffy, and splotchy. He refused to sleep much and started losing weight from not eating enough. Nearly every time we logged onto the cameras, he was alone in a dark corner on the opposite side of the room from the adults or other children. I thought it would get better, but it went on for ~2 months. Eventually, he started throwing major fits any time we put him in his carseat, and he's usually a very happy baby. This month, a new baby started in his class. Almost every time, except 1-2 times, I walked in, this baby's screaming. He's ~3-4 months, and almost never was he held or picked up unless I commented on how sad he was or talked to him. One time, I stopped to pick up something my husband forgot, and the teacher couldn't hear me knocking in the door over the baby crying, so I walked in. The baby was in the bouncer, next to the counter (he was out of the camera's view), while the teacher did something on the counter with her back to the baby. Upon hearing the door's bell and seeing me, the teacher whipped around and started talking to the baby and bouncing the bouncer. I now know that they left my son to cry alone for God knows how long but would pick him up before we got there which is why his face was always swollen n puffy but he wasn't actually crying. In some ways, I'm unbelievably angry with the staff for treating babies this way. On the other hand, I know they are short-staffed and asked to do way too much. I would have preferred not to receive a "progress report" or fewer cutesy crafts and had my son's emotional needs met. We are now at an in-home daycare where my son is very well cared for. He sleeps 2 hours consecutively (the longest he ever slept at Kids n Us was 40 minutes), he eats all his purees/solids and drinks 12-20 oz (was picking at purees, drank less than 10 oz consistently at Kids n Us). I've heard great things about Kids n Us and really wanted to have a positive experience. Unfortunately, our experience was being charged a premium price for mediocre care.

The teachers are very attentive and caring. Our son is always happy during drop off and pickup; he is also himself everyday when he comes home (not overly tired/grumpy). They do a great job recording activities in the app to keep us parents updated throughout the day. Even outside of the infant room, during drop off/pickup all of the children seem to be very happy, which reflects very positively on their experiences at Kiddy Korner. Highly recommend if you are looking for childcare! It has been a great experience so far (and we were very nervous to start).
