I have used this provider for more than 6 months

my children started with going to summer camp then i kept them in the program for after school very quickly they were so bored it was totally geared towards infants and toddlers. and the owner DEBBIE ULLRICH has got to be the worst person i have ever dealt with. she constantly added money to what we owed and the first time we asked about she screamed like a raving lunatic. since then i watched and noticed she did not know how to speak to adults or children at all she was a mean miserable women who didnt deserve to be around other humans.

My children have been there for a long time. both places are great clean and love the security. the only thing is the owner Debbie. she very disrespectful and can have a bad attitude if you get on her bad side. I am glad I took my kids out. if it wasn't for her, my kids will probably still be there.

LOVE this center! My children are never bored and they actually never want to leave. Tons of activities for both before and after care as well as days off and summer camp. My children have been attending for 2 years and we are very happy!

My wife and I knew this was the center for our daughter as soon as we walked in, everyone from the office staff to the teachers were very friendly. Touring through each classroom I was amazed at how all the children were engaged with different activities. We have had our daughter at Kids Zone for almost a year now and we are still as happy and even more impressed everyday. Center is very clean and the outdoor areas are amazing. Thank-you again Kids Zone we are very happy parents.

We LOVE Kids Zone. Both of my children attend here and I am a very happy parent. I have a preschool child and a school-age child and they both never want to leave. The teachers and the Owner Debbie are very caring and helpful to me if I have ever had a question. The school is clean and very well run. This will be our second year at Kids Zone and my children can not wait to attend another summer camp program, tons of activities. I will continue to recommend this school. Again HAPPY PARENT!!

I have been with Kids Zone for over 2 years as well as the owners other daycare for an additional 4 years and I have NEVER seen her or any teacher yelling at the children and the children are always happy and enjoying their time at the daycare! My daughter absolutely loves it at Kid Zone and would cry that she had to leave.

In response to these previous bad reviews if your experience was so bad why leave your children their for 4 years? Sounds to me like things didn't work out for you and now you are just bashing her company which isn't fair to Debbie. She wouldn't be in business over 20 years if she was mistreating children.

I am completely shocked at these false negative reviews. This is far from the truth. I have had my children at Kids Zone since it opened and I have had nothing but wonderful things to say about the owner and the teachers. I work not far and would stop by during the summer camp events and my child with all the other children were having tons of fun, my children never wanted to leave. I recommend checking the place out for yourself, there are two sides to every story and I can say that I am a very happy parent.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

After having my son there for three years I dared to question Debbie Ullrich on the amount that we owed her and my son was kicked out of the program. I had also seen her yelling at kids in her care and she would often talk poorly to my wife and I about other kids or their parents and at one point told my wife not to allow our son to play with another boy as he would be a bad influence. She is very unprofessional.

The school overall is good. You can trust your child with them. The teachers are good with the kids. The owner Debbie Ullrich is absolutely disrespectful. She is horrible with the kids! The only time I seen her interact with the children are when she is SCREAMING at them. She will get you for money any way she can. I would not recommend the school because of her. She is the reason I took my son out of the school. I cannot tell you how many disagreements I had with her until I just took my son out of the center. Also this is a program for older children "school age" and my son was always bored, and says they only do baby things all day.
