I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My son and daughter both attended school at North Hills Children’s House. My son since he was a year and a half and my daughter about the same. They are now 3yo and 5 yo. It is a safe place for my children to be, I’m very finicky with whom I let my children around. They feel comfortable and enjoy their time there; they come home reporting good days at school. This is a preschool, not just a simple daycare. My children were challenged with learning activities that helped them develop their minds (counting, nature activities, etc), physical bodies (play/exercise, motor skills), and social skills. I found that when they were having a bad morning, Ms. Nikita was able to welcome them help them relax quickly. She treats children with respect and as individuals. She keeps good communication with me, so I know how my children are doing. Very professional and caring. I would highly recommend! My kids love her.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My son started Pre-K at North Hills January 2019 and was enrolled until schools were shut down from Coronavirus in March 2020. Throughout those 14 months he learned so much from Nikita, the other teachers, and the other children. I know he learned valuable social skills that will help him in Kindergarten this year. I was so very nervous about my baby going to school, but after his first day he said he wanted to go everyday, and he did, and it made my momma heart happy that he loved it so much. Nikita always greeted us with kindness and showed that she cared for my boy. She is a fantastic teacher and mentor to the children. I am forever thankful that my son got to spend time learning and growing with her help.

We had an amazing experience with this child care provider. Our youngest son was with her from the age of 2 until 5. She provided an extremely clean, safe and engaging environment for our son. He was not only taught academic skills but life skills as well. I recommend her to anyone looking for child care. We adore Ms. Nikita!!!!

Awesome Place Aug 14, 2020

Nikita is very professional and wonderful with children. She has a lot of success in teaching and helping children as well as teaching them new skills. What’s amazing is she is very involved with the parents to make sure these things are practiced at home as well. The children love Miss Kita and they are very safe and happy at this home daycare!

I have always seen Nikita act professionally around the children and their parents at all times. She runs her daycare well and all the kids love “Miss Kita”.

Nikita has taken care of our kids since our first was at the Montessori school where she previously taught in Fort Smith. That's been about 6 years now. During that time Nikita has watched and taught our children, and treated them with patience, kindness, love, and respect. As our kids have grown, they have brought that same patience, kindness, love, and respect home with them, and on to elementary school. The people Nikita has hired to help at North Hills bring this same attitude to work with them each day, and our kids benefit from it. We trust Nikita. We trust her judgment and her proven ability to nurture children. We feel lucky to have found her, and we feel safe with our children there. She has a rare and admirable talent for helping children realize their potential, and for fostering the best in them. We have never been anything but satisfied with the exemplary childcare and education Nikita provides at North Hills. We could not have found a better place or a better person for our children.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My daughter stayed with Nikita during her tender years and flourished under her care. Nikita’s house is an extremely clean environment. Everyone speaks to each other kindly, and behaviors are corrected lovingly. I am leaving this review in response to a negative review I was shocked to see on here. My experience with Nikita caring for my child has been wholesome meaningful. I would not hesitate to leave my child in her care again even after seeing that unhinged and off-topic review because I believe it to be patently false.
