We…read morehad our two year old here for a few months but decided to withdraw her recently after she endured a serious injury to her eye and the school did not seem to care at all or even take any accountability for any of the actions that led to her being injured. There was no empathy, urgency or accountability from the school principal Amy. We had previous problems with her getting diaper rashes because she was being kept in poopy diapers for a long time, this was becoming more manageable since she is currently potty training but if you have a young child that will likely be an issue, I changed her diaper myself at the school multiple times at pick up because of the state I found her in. Beware!! Would NOT recommend this school to anyone!

Stephanie does morning drop off and always goes out of the way to make it easy on us all. Sasmita is truly a godsend. She is our daughter's teacher. Our daughter used to be quiet and shy and now has outstanding vocabulary and loves her dance parties with Sasmita. Sasmita treats all the children like her own with hugs, support, compassion and discipline. We get tons of pictures/ videos throughout the day that help us feel at ease and know she is having a good day. She also sends us home with lots of artwork that I know we will treasure for years to come. Our family is so grateful for the wonderful group of teachers at this school.

I was just talking to a friend about Ireland's Kingdom and how the teachers and owner helped me…read moreunderstand my son so much better. My son who attended Ireland's is now almost 10 years old and I have another son who is 21 (so this wasn't my first time around with a kid). My son loved it at Ireland's, and the teachers and owner weren't afraid to talk to me about some minor additional needs they saw in him, things that can be difficult to talk to a parent about their 'perfect' child. He was slow with speech at 3, which they talked to me about and offered suggestions and help. Then the owner brought in an awesome pre-school teacher when my son was 4. His pre-k teacher helped me so much in understanding how my son is a concrete thinker and how his brain thinks a little different (more along the lines of asperger's characteristics but he doesn't have aspergers). The behaviors she pointed out, the way she explained it, and the way she helped my son work through some of them, all of that helped him have a great start in kindergarten, and has lasted in both his behavior and my way of responding to him. I wish more people had someone help them understand their kids in the way that she helped me understand my son. My son is an A/B student and always receives excellent behavior scores as well. He's almost a black belt in karate (very concrete sport, nothing abstract about it). I really couldn't ask for a better son. But, I don't think we would be where we are today without the things his pre-k teacher at Ireland's helped me to understand. If she hadn't been so understanding and patient, and if she hadn't helped me to understand my son's way of learning and behavior better, I know we would have had lots of frustrations, arguments, etc. Thank you Ireland's Kingdom!

My fellow Yelpers…read more About 2 weeks ago now my wife handed her cell phone to the teacher as I was at work and wanted to tell the new teacher " I appreciate your work and attitude you are giving us" as this is my sons 4th new teacher in 8 months. Apparently that is against the rules and the owner let us know we put the staff in danger. Crazy right? My 2 year Old son was a bit for the 4th time. Yes 4. 1st time - I get it. Kids will be kids. 2nd time - make sense please don't let it happen again. 3rd time - ok let's have a quick in person meeting with the GM. Which we did just to see if there is a way we could help out. 4th time - I wrote an email saying " franchise owner - while giving my son a bath tonight I realize he had a bite mark on him. I don't see a report. " Leena the franchise owner responded with " oh no let's have a meeting. And so we are clear we DO NOT have to give you a report for 48 hours as it didn't break the skin". (not being a human being or mom and saying hey kid was bit all good I'll Get your a report. They just avoided it. That's not loving or mother like if you ask me. But to each their own) Me - " I have already met with your GM so I am not sure what another conversation is going to do but nonetheless let's do a phone call." Leena - " I can't let me know when a good time to talk is" Me - " anytime after 515pm works for me and my fiancé" Leena - then calls me at 11am and 3:45pm the next day. Leena - " hey I have been trying to reach you guys. If this is not an issue please just let me know and I'll stop calling." Me - leena you called before 5:15 we can't answer as we are working" Fiancé - " leena I will be there today at 5:30 to pick the boys up let's chat". Leena - " it's seems we have lost your trust. And we are now canceling your enrollment." - then proceeds to bring up handing the phone off is a violation as she had no other ground to stand on. She used the week and a half old excuse of my fiancé handing the phone to the teacher as a protocol violation...lol stop it. She then tries to explain that's it's for the love of the kids. Riiiiight Taking your frustrations with us out on the kids really exemplifies love. Up rooting friends and memories the built of the last two years is love? All a dad was doing is making his kids re safe and not bitten for a 5th time. So that brings me to this review. This all happened Friday. The weekend of Presidents' Day. So guess what schools are closed Monday how do we coordinate with work and get us a new school in time? Super inconvenient and very impulsive on her part. Should have said we will give you a week at the minimal. You know act like a parent/human being. Now for the honest review: My kids went here for just under two years. we were the 5th kid enrolled here so I have room to talk. They Simply can't handle the growth of the Leander. - Understaffed. - Now extremely Over priced for being so tiny in comparison to others. - waiting lines to drop off are INSANE. Especially on cold days. - Small play ground. like tiny and it ruins the kids shoes as they turn dark black. It's cheaply made but at the time we signed up there we only 10 kids and now at 75+ - dirty facility (ie: a yogurt was on the spilt on the ground when we dropped our boys off. We came back 8 hours later and it was still there just now full of ants) - Constantly closing down with minimal lead time for the parents. Never know what to expect really. Not to mention now all the new teachers have their kids go here and have "different rules" if you will. This wasn't a thing before. You will notice the kids behind the front desk right when you walk in. There is a tiny cubby behind the front desk to the right side just look in there and you will see what I am talking about. Their head teacher Ms. Elizabeth was "promoted" about 8 months ago and the place went to downhill from there. They hired ms Normandy who is under qualified and under staffed. From the missed emails, giving my child face rub with no Medical papers signed. Giving my child milk after saying he can't have milk etc. The owner leena or the GM normandy will comment something witty like "we are doing our best to accommodate" and then never proceed to change anything.. they are trained by the franchise to use catchy phrases like " we care" or " align our souls" " we Strive to be the best" but let me tell you from a person who has been paying 2600 a month for convenience ( literally next to my house) that It's all smoke and mirrors. It's turned into a franchise only trying to gain as much ROI as possible. which I totally get but it devalues the love and care that they preach but don't practice. But man I do have to say this was a blessing in disguise we got our kids set up at new school. GM has a PhD, met the owner IN PERSON first day and they gave us all their personal contact info incase we feel like we need to talk.

Starting from the director and going to the newest teacher they love children. My kids seems to be happy especially my big one she cant wait to go there. Everything inside is so clean and neat inside and outside. If there were more than 5 stars i could give it to this daycare. As a parent having access to the cameras to see how your kid is doing is an exellent option. Being informed all day when or what they ate or slept or when they got changed , what activities they do through the day, this helps us so much putting a routine to us when we go home. I want to give a big thank you and a big applause to the staff. Thank you for loving and taking care of our kids (they are staying more with you through the day than with us ‍‍). Really Thank You

I am a bit late to post this review. I did on Google but I haven't seen my review posted…read more My daughter attended this day are for a whole day and a half before I pulled her out. At the time she was in the infant room. The first day seemed to go okay, but the second day she was out by lunch time. I use to work in childcares so I understand what all happens behind closed doors. So when I tell you I saw her asleep on the floor twice and the teacher never picked her up to put her in her crib was all kinds of wrong. It took multiple calls to get ahold of anyone. When we finally reached someone to tell them our daughter was asleep on the floor, they said they would go talk to the teacher. We live under 10 minutes from the childcare, within the time I hung up, got in my car, drove the 10 minutes and walked into her room, she was still asleep on the floor! The teachers excuse is that she was having a rough time and didn't want to wake her. When I left with her and all her stuff, the director could care less that she was loosing a customer. No attempt to try and keep us or give us a refund. What a disgrace!

I completely agree with some of the other reviews. My daughter's main teacher Ms. Christina was…read moregreat. She cared and when I had a concern she would address it then followed with a change. The rest of this review is an issue with the owner, Rochelle. To sum up she made me feel like my daughter was unsafe and this issue now made my daughter unwelcome to return to class. The issue began when Christina was gone and no one else confirmed my daughter was ready to come back to school after being sent home with a fever (I sent a note via chat letting them know she will be returning the next day). I understood that they needed a Dr.'s note or that we wait a full 24 hours (her fever broke at noon that same day). What I felt was unnecessary and set the rest in motion was when another teacher, Ms.Vanity, felt the need to apologize for the situation and say she saw my message and figured someone else would respond. No one else responded and now I had to make adjustments at work. This made me distrust Prep N Play. If an incident were to occur and Ms. Christina wasn't there, no one would feel the need to help, protect, and ensure my daughter's safety. When I addressed this with Rochelle, she apologized BUT they were just following policy in sending her home. I brought up other issues where communication is not being received by other teachers that sub in and she felt the need to explain to me why that is inaccurate. Rochelle could not understand my fear and left me feeling like my daughter was completely unsafe. After that emotional conversation, Rochelle called back at 6pm and confronted me saying I was rude to her and she is wondering if my daughter would be a good fit for the school. This made me feel that whenever I have a concern, Rochelle is unwilling to address and follow with a change. Her ego is more important to her than my daughter's safety. She has no empathy or sense of understanding. I was in shock that if she was going to make this call she couldn't have waited until the morning. Her lack of professionalism amazes me. I can't expect that only when Ms. Christina is there that she will be safe. The purpose of this review is to remind parents to really get to know the owners, sometimes accidents happen due to their inability to take action. This was a result of a simple issue. I can't imagine how she would handled a larger issue of any kind.

Let me start by saying that I cannot say enough good things about Prep N Play Academy! My daughter…read morehas grown tremendously in this program over the past couple of years. We were part of a larger brand name daycare before we moved here and it not did deliver the way Prep N Play has. Rochelle, Jeff, and everyone at Prep N Play really love my child and take their time with her. She comes home happy every day chattering away about all the activities she did or about all the new things she learned. Our pediatrician is so impressed with how advanced she is for a child her age and I give Rochelle all the credit. The way she structures her Montessori curriculum with life skills application is genius. I am a former public school teacher and I can see how my daughter not only learns the material but can also apply that knowledge. My daughter has also made lasting friendships and is excited to go to school in the morning. This makes my life so much easier. With the brand name daycare she would cry and be upset she had to go. Now, she is happy and cannot wait to see her friends. I am so grateful to Jeff and Rochelle for all they have done for my girl and her little sister will be joining Prep N Play very soon!
