My children have been going to daycare here since 2024. I never believed in daycare before and I literally drive an hour to take my children here. Since day one they have welcomed and loved on my babies. My children have grown so much and have learned so much from the wonderful staff(family) at Joyland! Yesterday when I was getting my kids ready they told me how much their teacher tells them all day how much she loves them.. as a mom this was everything my heart needed to hear. My babies know they are loved and wanted at school!! Not just by the teachers but the peers too! Thank you all for all you do not just for my babies but others as well. Truly teaching and showing unconditional love and how to recieve it and give it in return. Thanks for being OUR village. I would be lost without yall!!
Best daycare hands down! They're so kind and patient with my children. And love my kiddos like they're family. I'm so glad I stumbled across Joyland and found the perfect school for my kids.
Considering the former reviews I was skeptical, but so far so good. Staff is friendly. They do a lot of summer activities with the kids for the summer program, which I’ve never experienced at any childcare for my children. Multiple teachers per room. It’s an older building, but clean and welcoming. My toddler is not very good with change so I was super nervous about having to switch her to a new school. To my surprise she goes in everyday with no problems. I think that is a good sign. At her old school, she would cry every single morning. So far the only downside is having to pay the first and last week tuition, plus registration fee at enrollment. This childcare feels “homie” and cozy. I feel like children really matter here.
This school has teachers that are disrespectful to children. The supervisors upholds teachers in the wrong. Children should not be talked down to by an adult at anytime. 10years ago is was a wonderful place to send your children. Now it's a nightmare. Your children are not protected their treated poorly. You should be able to send the to school for an education. Sad to say but but they need to revamp and start over with respectable teachers.
My daughter had a hard time adjusting into a school structure when she first enrolled, but everyone at Joyland made her feel so comfortable and loved it wasn't long she was more than happy to go to daycare. That was over three years ago and now she's about the graduate the Pre-K program and they still show her the same amount of love everyday. Everyone there is so amazing and I know my daughter will miss them dearly next year. They have done amazing at making sure the kids are ahead of curriculum and prepared for each new year.
