i.e., A local favorite, or highly recommended becauseWe recently transferred to Kids 'R' Kids when our childcare location closed and combined with another center in the area. This was a very difficult decision for us, as our oldest child had been enrolled there since she was an infant. We were very hesitant to check the center out, just by the looks of the facility we were afraid that it would be out of our budget, combined with some of the reviews we read on-line, however we were curious about the on-line viewing and all of the added enrichment programming that was offered. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by one of the directors, who showed us around. During the tour, we were showed all of the classrooms that our kids would be in, as well as all of the different programming that they would have. Again, we were a little bit skeptical about the added programs, as the center we were coming from also had enrichment programs, but there was an added cost to them, whereas here they were included in the tuition and there was no additional fee attached, which was impressive given all that was offered. Once my husband and I saw how the teachers were interacting with the children (ours included) it sealed the deal. We made the switch in August and have been more than happy ever since. Our children are happy and thriving in their new environment. All of the interactions that we have had with the staff, including management, has been great. The communication with the teachers, as well as directors has exceeded our expectations, which was something that was lacking at our old facility. My husband and I enjoy all the added "extras" that the staff do for both the parents and the kids. I would gladly recommend this center to anyone who looking for a safe, clean, and wonderful learning environment for their children.

My kids have been at Kids R Kids since the first day it opened. Not only do they pride themselves as being part of the original kids, but they absolutely love it. Their homework is done before I get there, they get to participate in all the enrichment programs that are included in the tuition, all the teachers ask me how my day went, and most importantly. . .I am greeted with a smile by any member of management that happens to be at the front desk. Reading the other reviews really bother myself and my husband. I honestly do not know what I would do without this facility. Even when I am personally having a rough day, the directors have taken their time to ask me how I am doing. The staff including the teachers, the owner and the directors are so involved in my children's lives and our families well being. I have and will continue to recommended this place to so many others. Just a bit of advise. . .A review is just an opinion. You can never really be sure unless you go tour yourself.

My 4 yr old daughter and 8 yr old son started a few weeks ago and we love it! She is really shy and has sensory issues which makes it hard for her to engage in a classroom. Her teacher Steph has done such a great job of bringing her out of her shell that she started participating this week and had crafts to bring home that she is so proud of. She can't wait to get to school in the morning and believe me that is a first! My son loves the before and after program. He is very social so he loves being with his friends. I love that when i pick them up his homework is done and he has had his afternoon activity (karate, cooking, gymnastics, Spanish, etc.) and my evening is not focused on fighting with him to get his homework done or driving him all over the place for activities. Thanks Kids R Kids!

I am very disappointed that my review was deleted. It is public knowledge to know how a school is. Especially when it pertains to my children. The directors at this facility are very unprofessional and rude. My child's teacher does nothing but sit on her behinds all day. I watch her from the live video feed. The lunch is unhealthy and always repeats itself. The teachers work long hours 10-11 hour days. They have to be exhausted. The teacher turn over rate is awful. Teachers leave left and right there is no consistency there at all. I do not advise anyone to use this facility. There are much better schools out there that even charge less. For what they charge it should be top notch with unbelievable service not rude lazy people who sit up front.

I have had my child at this center since it has been opened. When we first started, my husband and I were thrilled, the teacher was super nice and bubbly and she seemed to really love her job, and still does. Its just the directors I cant deal with. I am looking for another center for my child due to the unprofessionalism. They have no staff, their teachers quit left and right, so in order to keep in ratio to teacher child, they put my child into a different room and dont even give me a heads up. A simple email would be nice considering they have camera access and I log on and cant find my child!!! Its scary as a parent to think your child is missing!!!! The staff is forced to work while they are sick due to no teachers, which gets my child sick. I am looking for a center which is run in a professional manner. As the other review said they dont say hi to u when u walk in, and its very true. When you say bye they are too busy to pick their head up from their computer. Very unrecommended

I toured this facility and the Director didn't even come over to shake my hand. Some people like the idea of the cameras in the room...it freaks me out. What if someone doesn't log out and other people can look at MY children. My initial impression was that yes it was new, but I didn't get a warm feeling with the staff.

My children currently attend this phenominal new facility!!! Not only are my children super excited to go to school everyday, we are ALWAYS greeted at the front door by their management team! The teachers have gone above and beyond to make my tranisition of going back to a smooth and positive one for my children. Not only can I watch what they do in their classrooms using a secure websites designed especially for parents, but the staff has made it a point to send me emails and pictures of my children through out the day. I would highly reccomend this center to any parent looking for the best for their children!
