What Parents Say
Parkside has received mixed reviews. Recent reviews under new ownership praise it as professional and child-focused, but older reviews cite concerns about billing practices during COVID, high pricing without meals included, inflexible scheduling, and staff turnover.
My son went here and when covid 19 first started we pulled him. Even though he wasn't attending anymore. They still charged us full price $233.00 a week even though my son wasn't there. Covid was in full affect they charged me for over two months of services. Remind you my son wasn't there they had the nerve to send me a final bill of over $1,300.00. They took full advantage of parents during a national crisis cause I wasn't the only one that this was done to.
By far the highest priced place in the area and they don't include things like meals for the high price and they send you home with the dirty sheets weekly - something none of the area daycares we visited did. We got funny looks for even asking! The set week of being closed each year is terrible timing lining up with 4th of July. It is a hard week to get off every year. We just felt we got a lot more for our money moving to other places nearby.
Parkside has been under new ownership and it has become one of the best daycares/CLCs in the area. Our son has been attending for almost a year now and it's one of the most professional and child-focused daycares I've ever seen.
Our son had a terrible experience here. The staff was very rigid, and teachers were leaving and being replaced frequently. This was definitely not a nurturing environment. It was a very disappointing experience.
We just love it here!
