The owner is very rude and disrespectful he thinks he own the block he is trying to put a playground on the river which is very dangerous for the children
My boys went here for AfterCare, they are no 8 and 10years old.They are very active so its hard finding a place for them to go after school. This school kept them on they toes. they always hype to come to Daycare which was surprising. The teacher even help with the homework and makes sure its right.Good Place
This place is amazing.
I absolutely loved Pela Kids!!! I have 2 boys and one of them has an IEP, they were more than accommodating with the needs of my children. Sadly enough we had to move and if the travel wasn't out of state We would have gadly stayed. Finding people to trust with your children is very hard to come by, I will forever appreciate their warm welcomes and hands on care they provided for us. The teachers are great and are very silly when it comes to the children. They get to know them on a personal level. Again very sad to go, but highly recommend them as providers!
The absolute worse customer service ever! The owner was rude, abrasive and disrespectful. I would never send my child to be in his facility. He quotes inaccurate prices, told me he could change what he wanted because he was the boss. Did not know information as the manager. Refused to accommodate my time needs for a tour because “he didn’t want to come in early.” The absolute worse!!!!!
