Wonderful, Friendly, Loving Place
For Children To Learn and Grow   

Matt J.                            

My two kids have been attending Kaleidoscope since September 2015.   We are thoroughly pleased with the care and education they receive from the teachers and staff.  They have learned so much and continue to thrive.  My kids run up front to hug  Ms. Jen and Ms. Lisa everyday before we leave.  There is always an owner available from open till close if I need anything.  I highly recommend Kaleidoscope Academy to any family looking for good quality care.

My son loves it here.  We changed schools because it was an easier commute for me and he cried to go back (which we did), and he continues to love it.

Dear Jen, Lisa & Lisa:

I cannot even imagine sending my two children anywhere else but Kaleidoscope Academy.  I know every day that when I drop them off that they will be: loved, educated, made to feel special, celebrated for their individuality and encouraged to do their best.  Your teachers are second to none.  It is evident in their daily  interactions with the children and with the parents.  They take the time to fill in the parents about their child's day, beyond even what the daily sheet provides.  You can see the warmth in their interactions with the children.  Even as kids move up, your staff members still check up on former kids from their classes.  Your program is robust and filled with fun activities for the kids that help them to develop any different essential skills; nurtures their creativity; and promote their sense of self to flourish.  I know that my son is more than ready for Kindergarten and I am thrilled that my daughter will spend another two years at Kaleidoscope before she will enter Kindergarten.  Thank you for your professionalism and compassion.

Warmly,

Tara                                               

Great teachers and lots of activities.  Sometimes I get surprised at how much my 3 yr old knows and I know it's thanks to the teachers and staff here!

Kaleidoscope is the best!  The teachers and staff are amazing.  The summer camp is the best, my kids have so much fun with all their activities and trips.  My daughter graduated from the Preschool here and they did a great job preparing her for kindergarten.  All around fantastic place to bring your children.

I have had all 3 of my children in the care of these wonderful people at one time or another.  They pay close attention to their needs,  They do fun things and teach on a level kids can understand.  I would refer anyone I know to go here if they need childcare.  Great job!!!

You could not ask for a better school.  The owners are highly educated and have many years experience in the field of child care.  There is always a fun theme, event, or camp going on.  The children are always engaged in a safe environment.  I highly recommend them for your child care needs.  You couldn't ask for a better school for your child!

AMAZING DAYCARE!  My son started here a few weeks ago & I could NOT be happier.  Staff is amazing, so welcoming & understanding.. they truly do care about every single individual child!  They have a daily sheet that is properly filled out every day, they keep him on a great routine that I've also been carrying out at home as well.. they show him tons of love every single day!  My 1 year old loves going.. they keep the children busy & help my son with trying new table foods!  The place is so open and warm!  Amazing place... very pleased.  Highly recommended for any mommas like me who were scared of the whole daycare thing!!!!!

Good morning Lisa, 

With things finally back in the full swing after the Holidays I wanted to take a moment to thank you, Kaleidoscope as a whole, and especially Miss Brooke for everything over the last few months. 

When Covid first halted our lives and our son was home with us, I wasn't sure what to do or say. He woke up every morning sad, thinking he was not going to school because he did something wrong. Then, for a lot of the day he was alone/ignored because we were still fully working. This broke my heart. We are so hands on with our son that not being able to get on the floor to play or even address all of his questions immediately was very hard for everyone. 

We had the entire summer together. This was such a blessing and time I would never trade for 2 months of work. However, he continued talking about school, friends, and his teachers every day so I tried my best to do mini lessons with him. With a teaching/daycare background I have done this 1000s of times with other kids. He was NOT interested. It caused a lot of tension and tears and I felt like we were holding him back. He was now 3 years old and wouldn't tell us basic things like shapes and colors. Hence sending him back to you in September with such fear and guilt. I don't know if you remember his first day 2 years ago. I could barely walk out of the building. Dropping him off on his first day back in September was much worse. Because this time I was leaving my baby during a pandemic with a teacher I had never met and probably could not meet for some time, wearing a mask for 8+ hours a day. 

Anyways, the purpose of this email is to say THANK YOU. Although I was terrified, the precautions set in place, the open communication with front office staff, and the continued brief daily interaction with you all has been so helpful to me as a Mother. I know he is exactly where he should be, safe and incredibly happy. 

Now for Miss Brooke!

I cannot rave about this woman enough. Never having met her in person, I feel like I can visually see her in the classroom every day. My son absolutely adores her. Each night before bed, he tells us about his favorite part of the day. He then tells us about who was at school and who he played with. When Miss Brooke was away from the school for a bit, he would say each night "Miss Brooke was not here again today but I love her every day."  He has had other teachers, some of which I felt he connected with and others he did not. None as much as he has with Miss Brooke. I truly feel she gives him a sense of love and care that he feels deeply. And that is the most comforting thing for a crazy Mom.

I also want to point out how much my husband and I appreciate how available Miss Brooke has made herself to us. Not being able to see or talk to her each day in person has been very hard for me. (there is a theme here: helicopter mom :) ) But Miss Brooke has always answered any question I have sent to her immediately and with great detail. Whether I call the school or send a note in his lunch box, nothing has been overlooked or ignored. She has also gone above and beyond reaching out to me first to give me a little update or tell me something special he has done. I also think she does an amazing job updating the Kids Report each day. The amount of detail is wonderful and almost every day we receive a picture. I know it typically would not take a ton of time to do this but when it feels personal to the child I imagine it takes some effort considering there is a classroom full of kiddos. This is very special to us. 

Lastly, I know how uninterest my son can be in sitting still and absorbing information but it seems Miss Brooke does this flawlessly, at least for him, because I am shocked by the amount of knowledge he has learned and obtained over the last few months. Just when I feel like I have an understanding of just how much he really does know, he surprises me with something new. I know this would not be the case if he was still home and was not with Brooke every day because I tried and failed. 

I think I remember you telling me, when I came for our tour, about a way in which you recognize the teachers for doing something special. If that is the case, please consider Miss Brooke, even if it is just kind words. She has made sending our son back to school so easy for me. You all have. I am comforted in the way the school has stepped up with new rules and regulations as a whole but I am especially comforted in knowing he is being loved on and taken great care of while also exceeding my expectations for learning during this crazy time.

Good morning,

Happy New Year! I hope this email finds you well! I wanted to send a quick email to let you know how much we appreciate Ms. Brooke and the Kaleidoscope Academy! 

2020 has been an interesting year, to say the least.  Throughout all of the unknown and nervous feelings that we have had about many situations, sending Joey to Kaleidoscope has never added to our worries! Your protocols are amazing and the staff support has been wonderful during this difficult time.

Joey has grown and learned so much throughout his time with Ms. Brooke so far! We are truly impressed with her dedication to making Joey's experience in Preschool 2 the best it can be.  Joey is constantly talking about how much he loves Ms. Brooke.  I cannot believe what he has learned in the short amount of time he has been in that room. Brooke's communication with us is detailed in Kids Reports and makes sure to keep us updated on Joey's daily routine.  It is simply incredible what is done throughout a day inside his classroom.  

We appreciate you all so very much and are thankful that we have such an amazing place for Joey to learn and grow.

Thank you for everything,

Jamie and Dave
