Ivy Kids Early Learning Center

Long story short: if your child is under 18 months, especially under 12 months, do not bring them here. They have a one nap policy for 5-6 months old! My infant started going to Ivy Kids on Monday, by Thursday of that week, I took her out. She is usually very bubbly, but oh my goodness, she completely changed in those 4 days. She was extremely fussy and tired every time we picked her up; she would cry a lot and not smile like she usually did. I thought this was because it was her first time away from home, but I realized on Wednesday that she’s only sleeping between 11 and 1 each day at daycare. I spoke to the school to increase her naps to 2 (one at 9 and one at 2) instead of the scheduled one at 11am. And they said she needs to be transitioned to one nap. I spoke to her pediatrician about this and she wrote a note to them saying she is too young to be forced to have just one nap! I took this note to them on Thursday afternoon and they pretty much disregarded it. The director literally said they start transitioning all kids from 5-6 months to one nap (that’s so harmful to babies growth)!! When I walked in to pick her up that afternoon, my daughter was just sitting there crying with snot all over, my heart literally broke. I pretty much wailed in the car on my way because I felt so bad for my baby and upset. My husband and I toured 3 other daycares that weekend and asked about their nap policies for infants and they all said “babies sleep when they want to”. I didn’t realize just how awful this place was for my baby until she moved to a different daycare, and after only three days, was smiling at her teachers! She had about 3 naps the first day at her new daycare. They tell me exactly how much milk and solids she ate; that’s how I figured out I was sending way too much milk to ivy kids. I asked ivy kid on the first day through a note to please let me know how much milk she was drinking because up until then, she only nursed, but they didn’t! So i assumed she was drinking it all. This new place would send pictures of my baby interacting with other babies; at ivy kids, the camera (very blurry videos btw) showed that all the kids were not interacting with each other. I am so worried for the other kids in that class. The director said ivy kids was not a daycare, it was a preschool. They should not have license to take care of infants then if they are not a daycare! Please for the sake of our babies health, do not bring them here.

This location provides excellent services. The staff are warm, friendly, knowledgeable and really get to know each family individually. They always go above and beyond to ensure my child is well taken care of. They are good about incorporating diverse themes into instructional materials. They also host frequent seasonal events that certainly add a special touch. I love that security and safety has always been prioritized. Highly recommend touring and getting on their waitlist if you’re in the area.

I have to continue to give this school praises. My child is loved, educated and elevated. There are ladies at this school that pour into the children in such amazing ways. I just want to thank the staff at Ivy Kids Pearland for nurturing the whole child. Thank you Jessica- a smile in the mornings. Ms Shon, Ms Tinasha, Ms Nikki and Ms Tannae. Ms Tabatha & Ms Dawne. And CONGRATULATIONS on the 4 Star Assessment from Texas Rising Star. You ladies ROCK!!!!!

My niece loves Ivy Lids Pearland! Her teacher, Shon, is amazing — patient, caring, and truly dedicated to the kids. We’ve seen so much growth and confidence in her since starting here. Highly recommend!

My son attends this location and has always had a pleasant experience. Everything feels like family here. From the director, to the classrooms, the chef and even the front desk staff that greet my kiddo with a warm Welcoming smile daily. I highly recommend giving them a try if you live nearby or even considering them for summer camps.
