Really good about communicating and following up.

10 out of 10 for me, the entire staff always treated my very active daughter with nothing but love and patience (she can be a handful). They have always opened their arms to her no matter when we need them over the years, before/after care, summer camp, you name it. My daughter hasn't been in quite some time but she still asks to go back to this day.

I wouldn't recommend this place to any parent. The school is filthy and ownership only cares about money. My child did not learn while there. They claim to have a "curriculum" but the kids just play all day.

The owner is very nice but the directors daughter is absolutely terrible and the main reason why I pulled my son after not even a week. She made multiple passive aggressive comments about his diet and downplayed concerns and is inn redibly condescending when speaking to you. Expressing concerns gets immediate defense mode from her but in an incredibly rude way. I haven't personally experienced, but I've heard the director is also similar. Some of the teachers are great but I've witnessed some literally yelling at other people's kids. When I addressed this I was told they are being assertive...teachers who lack the ability to set boundaries without yelling, especially with other people's children certainly do not need to be teachers. The place is very unorganized and you get a different answer depending on who you talk to. I can see the potential for the school for sure but that would require the director and her daughter to not work there as well as some teachers either having stricter rules enforced upon them or letting them go. Nobody is perfect but after not even a week? Come on, now. There's no excuse. This place needs to be investigated bc I definitely wouldn't trust my child being there with people like that running the school. The owner definitely needs some new staff.

My grandson has been going to Parkdale for over a year now. I love all the people that work here. Everyone has been nothing but wonderful to my grandson since the day he has arrived. He has learned so much. I am sad that this will be his last year there as he will be starting Kindergarten in September. Although, I am happy that he will still be able to attend before, and after school here.

Go take a tour and see for yourself, the entire place is filthy. It also smells. Please do not leave your children in their care!

My son has been at Parkdale since he was 8 weeks old. It is difficult to drop him off at daycare when I go to work, but the teachers in the infant room are extremely friendly and care for him wonderfully so I feel at ease at work knowing he is well taken care of. Parents can drop in at any time, and every single time I have stopped by, the teachers are engaged with the children. This is a wonderful place for your baby if you are looking for small teacher to child ratio with people who really love the kids!

They lose staff frequently, which causes for chaos among the classrooms and lack of consistency. There are far too many kids in some of the classrooms. The owner is very nice. The Director and Assistant director (directors daughter) are rude and have nasty attitudes. Most of the teachers, themselves are great, when they are in the classrooms.

My 4 year old started here in September and she absolutely loves it. The lasses are small (8-9 kids) and the classrooms are clean and organized. I love knowing what my daughter has learned that day (written on a chalkboard outside every day) and getting her art/classwork in a folder daily. The teachers are amazingly nice and attentive. The hours for the school are wonderful and while a little pricey, I think totally worth it for the experience my daughter is receiving. She's learning so much (months, days of the week, sight words, rhymes, math, etc.) that it's hard for me to keep up with her quickly growing knowledge. My daughter loves doing her homework and can't wait to bring her drawings to her teacher. She even asks me to take her to school on Saturday and Sunday. I'm very glad we opted to go with Parkdale and will be sending my son here next year.

My daughter has been attending Parkdale since she was 18 months old. She is now 3 1/2. She absolutely loves it there! I am a student who is going to school to be a teacher, so I know what to look for in a school environment. Parkdale has it all! The staff is wonderful and supportive. My daughter has learned so much there! I am expecting now, and plan on sending the new baby to them. I can't say enough great things about this school.
