I also find the events they schedule for the parents to enjoy, the highlight of every year. My daughter is going into 1st grade next year and she is currently working on public school second grade workbooks to prepare. I am sure that is not indicative of all public schools but I definitely find that I had the same experience when I went to school there and switched to public schools.

I don't know how they manage to have a personal relationship with all of the parents and kids but they manage to make everyone feel special.

I would definitely recommend this store!

My daughter was with this school for a little over a year. While it wasn't our first choice, it was…read moreone of the only schools that didn't have a long waitlist.She started in Miss Christine's class which we loved. She loved her teachers and her classmates. We always got photos and updates at the end of the day, and were very happy with how things were going. When she transitioned to the next class, things went downhill. Off the bat we didn't have the same good feeling about the teachers compared to her last class. It was an overall colder vibe, not as caring. My daughter has ALOT of emotions (terrible two era) so I understand this can take a toll on the teachers. But I didn't appreciate how every day when I picked my daughter up, she seemed like she had been crying for long durations. One day, she came home with marks on her hand. I know one of the teachers has long nails but didn't say anything because it could have come from a child. However, none of the teachers commented on the marks which to me was a red flag (usually we would get an incident report or at least the teacher would tell us what happened). Another time, after picking my daughter up, she kept repeating in the car "stop crying, stop crying." When I asked her who said that, she said teacher. I showed her photos of her teachers and there was clearly one aid who she seemed scared of. After this, I immediately pulled her out (also after seeing a similar review from a student in the same class). When the head of the school met with me after I pulled my daughter, she seemed very protective of her staff and I almost felt like she was trying to tell me I was wrong for pulling my daughter out. However, I am SO thankful I did. We transitioned her to Bluffs School and things have improved significantly. The teachers are all warm and have great energy, I love the director, and the tuition is only slightly more than The Learning Experience! Overall, we're happy we made the move. I also was to mention that you should read the positive reviews on Yelp. At least one is from an individual who thought they were posting a review for a toy store. Mistakes happen, but what I think is gross is The Learning Experience commented on that review thanking them for the positive review (see photo- in case they try to get this deleted).

I feel like I hit the jackpot with her! She is an excellent teacher with many years experience and has endless patience and love to share with all the kids. On top of that my daughter rarely if ever gets sick because there are only max six kids on any given day and she keeps the home spotless. Her home is literally any kids dream as even the yard has been transformed into a kids playground and even in the house it's a kids oasis full of fun toys and games to play in every single room. Being a first time Mom I was terrified to bring my kid to daycare but Luiza quickly managed to put all my fears to rest!

Such a loving and nurturing environment gave me so much confidence, comfort, and peace of mind that my daughter is in excellent hands.

We've sent three of our four kids through the school, and the staff consistency has been amazing. It always felt like the same friendly, helpful faces each day. The teachers are truly dedicated and genuinely care about the kids. The entire facility is always clean and organized. The artwork they send home is top-notch--our kids were always so proud to bring it home. One of my daughter's teachers would routinely do her hair in fun, fancy styles just to make her feel happy and special. The overall structure of the program is outstanding. We always felt our children were safe--never a worry about security--and the communication has been excellent. Kim, the director, is warm, professional, and always helpful. She's guided us through decisions when we were overwhelmed and always understood the stresses parents face. She goes above and beyond to ease those stresses and offer support. We're sad to be graduating out of the school, but we will always feel forever grateful. Thank you to all the staff, who now feel like friends. Danny and Kelsey Embick
