Tulip Kids has been like a second home for my daughter since she started at 15 months. Every teacher and staff member has cared for her with so much love, but Miss Andrea holds a special place in our hearts. She made my daughter’s first daycare experience smooth and comforting, showering her with warmth and care. To this day, Miss Andrea remains her most favorite teacher! Miss Neeru, the incredible principal and owner, is deeply invested in creating the best experience for both kids and parents. She continuously upgrades the playgrounds, books, and activities while also prioritizing teacher development. Her commitment to hygiene was a big factor in our decision, and she ensures the highest standards are met. Miss Natasha and Miss Taylor played a huge role in my daughter’s transition to higher classrooms, introducing her to new activities and routines with patience and encouragement. Miss Maria and the rest of the staff have been so nurturing that my daughter often asks to go to school even on weekends! This daycare has given my daughter the best start, and I would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a caring, well-managed, and enriching environment.

I absolutely love Tulip! All of the teachers here are very friendly and accommodating. They take such excellent care of my babies and are very good at communicating. Ms. Neeru is always so nice & approachable, and Ms. Natasha is so knowledgeable & well-spoken. They really make me feel comfortable leaving my children in their care because I know they are in good hands. My babies have progressed so much. I couldn't be happier!

I love this Tulip Kids Academy! We have had our son here since he was 1.5 (early 2023), the staff are so friendly and amazing and kind with the kids. Teachers and carers are all responsive via ProCare. I also love that they are open until 6, as my job requires me to work in the late afternoon. I love that my kid is always so excited to walk in their doors each day. I will note if you are looking for constant educational updates or are more of a helicopter parent, this probably isn’t the space for you. Teachers here let the kids be kids while incorporating instruction into the classroom via play and drawing and other activities. You will get photo updates and see them come home with activities, but there isn’t a report card or annual meeting to discuss progress. No shame on those who prefer this, but I now recognize having looked at a few daycares that some may prefer a strictly-education heavy environment like bright horizons, while others want a smaller and more family-based homecare situation. This Tulip Kids lands nicely in the middle and I feel most comfortable at this type of academy.

School director seems does not have any respect for parents. We were so interested in this place, they cancelled the visit in the last minute with all kinds of excuses twice. There is also no followup after that for scheduling them again. She does not have time to respond to queries always going to voicemail and no followup after that. With such a director leading the place, how would I assume my child will be safe and timely communication will happen. I don't trust this place. This is not the place any parent would leave their child.
