This place has been the best for my children. The Director is the most caring individual I know, and professional as well. My children were ready for school. Even ahead of the game for school. I can’t say enough about this place!!
Clean, kids learn new things daily, have expanded their eating, etc. We love it!
Excellent daycare! My kiddos love it here.
When we started at JBK over 2 years ago, my son was severely speech delayed. We had already done a year of speech therapy to no avail. Within a month, he was speaking full sentences. They helped so much with speech, potty training, and preparing him for kindergarten. They have also been so great with consistency in potty training my other child. My babies love it there and have THRIVED in this place.
If I could give this place zero stars, I 100% would. The owner, director and assistant director are incompetent and about as unprofessional as you can possibly be. And the employees follow their lead. If you want your child coming home with unexplained injuries multiple times, an obvious lack of supervision (staff on their phones all the time), having teachers yell at other staff and other students in front of them and a whole host of other unprofessional and unsafe issues, then this is your place.
This place is very unprofessional. No communication, students are not picked up on time from school, and then not given snack. The facility is not clean and my students come home smelling like smoke
This childcare center was the best thing that ever happened to my family. They were a huge part in my child’s success in her education. I’d recommend to anyone!!
If you want true kindergarten preparation, go to Love & Learn Preschool. They are wonderful, small private SCHOOL with extended day options. Loving staff, licensed and degreed teachers who tailor to fit individual child’s needs. Wonderful program.
I was happy with JBK kids at first when my granddaughter was taught by Miss Ashley. But when she was put in the 3 year old class I became very disappointed in the overall care that was given. Unless changes are made, I would not recommend.
If I could give this place zero stars, I certainly would. They have too many children for the staff. The ratio is terrible. The employees are very unprofessional, yelling at each other in front of the children. It seems most employees there simply work there to get free child care for their own children, and are not qualified in the least to be a true provider. The facility is in a severe state of disrepair except when its inspection time. The communication between staff and parents is minimal at best.
