Not the best atmosphere for kids. The teachers are unprofessional. The director is unprofessional. I've been trying to get my son started in this daycare, so I can go back work, and continue to study for school. My request has been ignored for almost a week. The director just says, "I'll get back to you." My daughter comes home with scratches and bruises. No one says anything to me, but the first thing that they ask at drop off is, "Does your kid have any scratches?" It is extremely weird, in my opinion. They ask these types of questions before they even say, "good morning." It is not the entire staff. They have two good teachers, that seem like they love kids, and actually want to be there. Other than that, everything seems like going through the motions, and your kid is just a number. I wish they had daycares that actually care for the children. You have to feel out a ton of paperwork, for the initial application, and register for software that they do not even use to keep parents updated on what is happening daily. Not the best vibes.

My daughter has been coming here for a year now and we love the school and staff. They’re invested in the kids and teach through play. The tuition is really affordable too.

Amazing preschool, I brought my children here. They enjoyed it and seemed very happy at pick up and at drop off. Teachers and staff are very friendly and very understanding. Unfortunately I had to move. Thank you Monica for your understanding and for your patience. Thank you Storyland

Danger!!! I tried to save a few bucks and moved my child from a very good preschool to this one. First they have too many children to teacher ratio. Every time I tried to talk to the daughter of the owner " Kika" explaining what my son told me she will disregard. 1.- I had previously spoke to the owner Mrs. Susana Dauto and came into an "arrangement of 5 mints late for pick up" it was no communicated to the rest of the staff and I would get charge 8 dollars which I paid every time. 2.- The staff have used my son's pull-ups for 2 weeks and I brought it out to their attention to the owner which she said she would have an answer for me the next day and she never did. After 2 wks I brought it out to their attention again stating I want refund due to every time my son uses any of their things I get charge 1 Dlls. 3.- I got charge a "late fee" and again brought it out to the owner attention stating I have always pay on time and in fact I actually have 1 week in advance credit of 150 dlls. Again the owner stating she will give me an answer the following afternoon which she never did and never received a call neither she stay to give me an explanation. 4.- There has been 2 times that I have pick up my son early from school and woke him up from his nap and notice his socks and shoes were wet. This is NEGLECT. They would not do that to their own kids of course. Who sends a kid to take a nap when they have been playing outside with water?? 5.- The staff lacks of manners. They are not doing me a favor I am paying out of my pocket a good amount of money for their rude faces. 6.- " Healthy checks" They only check if your kids have "bruises" and every scratch and bruises he has getting them there from other kids biting him, scratching him. They wont event take the kid's temperature or check for log nails. 7.- I have previously write in the enrollment form I do not wish my kid to drink milk because it upsets his stomach and guess what!! he tells me they give him milk. 8.-I have pick him up early and their "healthy afternoon snack" is 2 thin slices of carrots, 3 crackers an 4 oz of water. So yes 1 carrot per 5 kids. I am running away from these place and I wished I have never moved my kid there.
