We are now into our second year at Latchkey. My oldest now in kindergarten and my youngest in preschool. My son graduated preschool last year. He was more than prepared for his 1st day of kindergarten today. I owe much thanks to Ms. Harris and Ms. Nichole for the work they put into their program and the development of the kids. Both my kiddos have learned life skills and have become great communicators at home. I feel safe when I am away at work and never worry about them. Not to mention the priceless daily updates on school projects and photos of the kids. Latchkey is like family, every teacher knows how to care for each child and all their special needs. Looking forward to another great year!!
We love Latchkey!! We had our kids in a preschool that was more expensive, rude and always gave me bad vibes. After one day at Latchkey, we realized we should have made the switch a long time ago. All summer long, our kids had fun, running into the classroom most days (unheard of at the other school) and also brought home barely even a runny nose (also unheard of at the other school). We as parents felt included with lots of pictures and updates and staff that was already pleasant and kind and informative. All thing we never got before. It's been such an incredible change for us... Can't wait for more fun at Latchkey with our kids and their awesome staff!
One of the teachers put my daughter in the bathroom for 5 minutes because she was crying. My daughter was so scared of almost all of the teachers. So, she didn't tell me for 2 years because of how traumatized she was. The staff are neglectful and rude. Years later, she still remembers what some of the staff did. She will never forget it because it scarred my daughter so badly. I hope you can fix this issue.
My daughter went here from age two until kindergarten and has attended summer camps here. They were able to stay open during covid for essential workers and did not have one outbreak the entire time due to their attention to safety. My daughter has always felt safe there. She was able to get into a very competitive private school and I owe it to the teachers here that give such compassion and encouragement to their students. She has grown into a confident girl thanks to this great program :)
