place is a joke, staff has not refunded nor mailed our check since August 9th (todays date October 9th) now they blocked our phone numbers and emails... will be reporting them to the BBB and taking the owner to court. Do not waste yalls time with this place, y'all been warned!

We have been taking our son here since he was 3 months old. I enjoy the updates through the “Procare app” and crafts they do with the infants. The staff is friendly and kind. He gets great care here while we are at work and it’s conveniently located to our house. He gets offered food while he is there which is a huge help! The only downfall is the facility could use some updates but they keep it clean!

My husband and I bring our 11 month old here most weekdays and he loves it! The young ladies that take care of him are very sweet and he really likes them.

Best decision I could have made for my grandson. He has made so much progress since starting out there. He already knows his ABCs and Numbers and is learning his colors. The stuff is great there and they really work well together with you and your child. I love how they send home daily reports to let you know how well your child is doing in school. I feel that this school will preparing him for the future.

My 1 year old son has been with Parkdale for all of 5 months and it has been the WORST experience I have ever had with daycare. The staff was rude when i would pick my son up, he would have dried snot all over his face and cloths, constant diaper rashes that he had never had before and I would bring in the prescribed cream and they would not use it or just let him sit in his diaper, they never have enough staff. My child had gone home twice with bruises that none of the staff or owner can explain. They have cameras but its a joke, it only plays 1 hour at a time and takes an hour to load! It is ridiculous, they're rude to military and NACCRA families. Don't bother sending your children here, you're going to pay more for terrible childcare or they will have your paperwork come back wrong. I have had plenty of times where I paid for my 2 weeks and they added extra "fees" or tuition that i had already been paid. Stay away from Parkdale private school. do not settle for here your child will NOT be safe
