Parents Cooperative Pre-School and Kindergarten: what do users think?
Megan Moeder: I couldn’t have chosen a better preschool for my son. He has real bad separation anxiety (like most kids do) and they have helped with making him feel comfortable and opening up sooo much! I am amazed at the improvement he’s made this year. I will definitely be sending my second baby here too ♥️
Amy Silva: I am so happy I found Parents cooperative preschool. I was super nervous about my daughter starting school, but the teachers and parents of PCPS are amazing and really helped make this transition easy. In the few months we have been there we have all become like a little family. My daughter loves her classmates and her teacher, and I love that I get to be super involved in her eduction. The kids get to learn through play, so it's is laid back and FUN! I love seeing the progress my daughter has made already, and can't wait to see her blossom even more!!
jennifer f: We absolutely LOVE this school! It was so hard finding a true preschool that wasn't a mandatory all-day daycare. It's been such a wonderful experience for our daughter (now in her 2nd year there) to introduce her to socialization skills and the learning environment. Parent involvement is heavily encouraged, so you really feel like part of a big family there.
Kayti Stringer: We love this school! The teachers and staff are warm and caring, and it's completely affordable. We love the cooperative learning environment, and the school has such a community feel with parents and staff coming together to teach our children. Couldn't be happier!
Sheena Carroll: The best environment for children and families. The kids learn through play and unlike other preschools you actually get to be hands-on with their learning experience. This is the only co-op in Springfield. It's a one of a kind school and we could not be happier!
A.B. Norman: I love this school. I'm a single mother of one and therefore very particular and protective. I am so glad my child could be a part of the school the last 2 years. The teachers and the parents are all amazing with my child, and to be around. We have had a blast, and love it so much, we will be staying involved as alumni!
Terrie Reno: I am so glad we found this school two years ago. The tuition at PCPS is very affordable, but more importantly; the teachers are wonderful and have been here for years. The classrooms are small, so I feel like my daughter gets the attention she needs. I also enjoy getting to help out in the classroom with my daughter. We're always counting the days until her next "helper day."
Rouge Beauty Bar: This is a great, quality preschool for anyone seeking a part-time early education program with the opportunity to be involved in your child's development and learning all at an affordable price! Wonderful play based learning environment! Teachers, parents and children are awesome! It's a great place to be! $140 a month!

La Petite Academy of Springfield: what do users think?
Cody Pusateri: Very happy sending both of our children (3 and 2) there. Caring and welcoming staff and we have seen a significant development in our kids language, empathy, and social-emotional intelligence.Been at La Petite for over 2 years and have experienced no issues worth noting. Have developed parental friendships ourselves and have also not been made aware of any concerns.
Erin Buchness: My child has been going to La Petite since she was three months old (she is almost five now) and I couldn't imagine sending her anywhere else. All of the teachers and front office staff are beyond amazing, loving and care for my daughter like she was their own.I highly recommend La Petite to any parent that wants their child to have a positive and loving experience in a trusting and positive environment.
Quinton Blake: If I could rate this place zero I would, our son was just abused today an we got it all on video an got the police involved. Want a place that abuses children? Want a place that can’t hire teachers in the preschool room to handle kids being kids? Want a school that doesn’t care for the child? Well look no further! Our son has special needs an in that was misunderstood and abused because a teacher can’t handle it anymore.
PurpleCurlsAshley: Used to be my favorite place for childcare, now I see how misplaced my love for them was.
Kira: My 3 year old boy was well taken care of by the friendly staff of La Petite.While we no longer attend this daycare, I would highly recommend it to any parent searching for a safe, fun environment for their child.
Daisy O Hall: We absolutely love La Petite! Our daughter has learned so much and feel so welcomed. We wouldn’t have it any way. The director and staff truly cares!
Amanda Oxley: We LOVE La Petite Academy! Both our kids have attended for the last year-they have been in early preschool, preschool, and pre-K classrooms. The teachers are so responsive to questions and comments, and Ms. Carrie (the school’s Director) and Ms.Caroline (the Assistant Director) are always reachable by phone, email, or through the Brightwheel app. I love how many photos the teachers send me through the app, and I love the social, emotional, and practical education that the kids are getting. Best decision we’ve made!
Justin Wagler: There is no price on a young child's development. The staff at La Petite do way more than just babysit. They teach, care, and encourage growth with all of their young enrollees.The educators and staff at La Petite are terrific.I've trusted my children with Carrie, Deborah, Christy, Caroline, Cindy and the rest of the incredible people at this facility for about 5 years.The past director, Lisa, was wonderful and I can't speak highly enough of Carrie Dickerson, the current director. She was a teacher for my oldest and has now moved into the directors seat. Under her oversight I've been witness to a growth and expansion of care, curriculum and services offered that I see having a profoundly positive effect on my currently enrolled child's behavior, intellectual growth and overall well-being.I highly recommend and suggest that if you are considering a place for your child, that you take the time to call, drop-in or schedule a tour and talk with Carrie and Caroline. They are tremendous people who care deeply about the kids they teach and take care of daily.
R B: I highly recommend this daycare. I had doubts as a first time parent bringing my daughter to a daycare but the staff is very friendly and Lisa always worked with my family's hectic schedule.
cinthai23: I appreciate Caroline and Lisa for the patient they had with me of delaying. I wasn't to sure if I get the job or not and I'm new here in town. Once I got hired at the job they took my 16 month son in the next day. I didn't know where to go or what to do exactly. My son been to daycare back where we were from San Diego , California the place was called Kindercare it was a wonderful place and the teachers was awesome! La Petite Academy remind me of Kindercare. I like the ladies and they been understanding. I do see that there is a lot of kids at la petite. So they are busy. The price might be high $226 a week. The price might be different for others but that was my price for my 26 month son. But it's close to my work and very convenient if anything happen to my 16 month son I'm there in 10 min. They also do a good job on calling me if my son is sick. So I give a 5 star on that. One thing I would like to see is more pictures of my son doing activities and have a program where they can send me video and pictures like how Kindercare do theirs. Overall I think la petite is doing it best. But like every parent I know that fear "what if..."
Tiffany Brandell: If I could give a separate score for the front office people vs the actual teachers, I would! The teachers were fantastic and lovely gals, who we loved working with and were great to our child. The front office gals wanted to treat us like something they found on the bottom of their shoe. When there was confusion over an issue with them, they just wanted to belittle, instead of working with us; even though we'd paid all tuition weeks ahead of time. They just wanted to keep reiterating that they had a waiting list, basically letting us know that we meant nothing to them. Just for having to deal with those two awful people (Lisa and Connie), I'd highly recommend you take your child somewhere else!
Rachel Lee: I'm a first time mom and my son started here last April. I was really nervous about putting my son in daycare--it's not so much that I was scared the staff would abuse him, I just worried that since they had multiple kids to look after my son wouldn't get as much attention and love as I could give him. I never said a word about the way I felt but Lisa, the director, completely understood anyway. One of the first things she said was "I understand if you're worried--no one will ever love your kid as much as you do but he'll be fine here and if you need or want to you're more than welcome to call and check up on him." It blew me away. The first day went off without a hitch and my son had a great time. After the first week, though, my son began to realize this was going to be a regular thing and began to cry at drop offs. The staff was more than happy to call me ten minutes later to let me know my son had stopped crying and was happily playing. Eventually we all discovered my son was just putting on an act for me because he cheered right up after I left.This place has been wonderful and my son has learned so much! I get daily written reports on what he did at school (and that's what it is, really. Each class has a teacher or two and they do fun yet educational activities. And NO tv--YES!!!) and the staff is so friendly and gentle with the kids. My son has made so many friends and they're always happy to see him when he comes in. My son has learned how to count, he can sing his ABCs, he learned how to sit quietly at a kid's table, and even puts his own toys away without being told. This school does wonders for little kids. I didn't think a toddler could do so much at such a young age but this school has really taught him a lot. I highly recommend La Petite to any parent needing childcare.
Shannon White: Both of my girls have attended La Petite since August when we relocated to Springfield. We couldn't be happier with them! The facility is always clean and the teachers are always friendly and professional. There has been little to no staff turnover and my girls both adore the teachers there. Ms. Lisa is the center director and I cannot say enough nice things about her or her leadership of the facility. The first thing my three year old does when she heads in is give Ms. Lisa a hug and it's the last thing she does before leaving at night. I know my kids are in a safe and secure environment and are having their emotional, educational and social needs met at La Petite. If you're looking for a childcare where you can have peace of mind, you won't go wrong with La Petite.
Rami S: The director, Lisa, and her staff are absolutely wonderful. It is very clear that she and her staff are dedicated to the kids and are love what they do. My son comes running to me with a smile on his face every day I pick him up with stories to tell about his day. He never did that at his previous preschool.This academy is worth every investment.
Tina W: I love this preschool! The facility is so clean, structured, organized, & child-friendly! My daughter is 2.5 years old & has already gotten so much out of it! They really work w/ your children & make it a safe, fun, happy, & very educational environment where your child can be themselves, :)

Developmental Learning Center: what do users think?
Ninsun Baldwin: Horrible experience for our daughter, would not recommend. Our child was not treated kindly by other students parents, or teaching staff. The teachers did little to stop the absolutely ridiculous rumours and uncalled for ostracising. They took a happy, smart, well rounded, kind hearted individual and made her apprehensive to go to school. A child that loved learning! Lucky for us we had the resources to send her to an amazing kindergarten that help her overcome the damage this school inflected on her in the six months she attended. We pulled her as soon as we had her kindergarten application was accepted. If you’re not religious, don’t go here.
Jonel-Louise Grigson: DLC is a wonderful school. I love their preschool programs but am so thankful for their Kindergarten program. I love the small class size and the half day Kindergarten. They are excellent in academics but also really care about the whole child’s development. If it wasn’t for them my oldest would not be where he is today
Chloe Huff: Their indoor merry-go-round was the best. I played on it almost everyday when I was younger. If you remember what it looks like message me.
DJ: Great school!
Missy Wade: We love DLC!! We sent all five of our kids there and had the most amazing experience. The staff is wonderful and I felt very comfortable with my tiny children being in their care. We've outgrown the age group and I miss that school dearly. The education they received was above and beyond.
root pass: Excellent Music Programs with the young ones. We just Love the Teachers :)

Little Sunshine's Playhouse and Preschool of Springfield at Cardinal St.: what do users think?
Michael McVey: My daughter Claire started going here this year and absolutely loves going to school every day. She has learned a lot and loves her teachers Ms Tatianna and Ms Brianna. We are very happy to have chosen this facility.The storybook feel and playground are features we really like. They also send updates throughout the day and record things like how well she is eating. They really do seem to have an attention to detail that is very appreciated.
Adriana Dali: We just moved to town, and happens to find Little Sunshines. I honestly couldn’t be more happy. The staff at the cardinal st site are incredible. My son is already coming home telling me what he learned and he has been there a short time. So happy we chose them!
Samantha Sellers: This place will always hold a special spot in my heart. They have loved both of my boys like their own. My 2 yo just started this summer, very shy and afraid, and now he LOVES going to school to see his classmates and his marvelous teacher, Miss Mariah! Even our speech therapist who comes to their location for therapy told me that she is always impressed with how clean they are and how much time they spend with each kiddo. 10/10 recommend!
Brittany Hartman: After staying home with my daughter for 2 years, it was time for me to go back to work. So happy we chose this daycare for her. I love the “LuvNotes” we get in the middle of the day with pictures and how their day has been. All the teachers are amazing! They send out detailed emails everyday on what they will be doing that day and what food they will be eating. Could not recommend this daycare enough! My daughter adores her teachers Naya & Maggie.
Lena Assaf, AA: LSP is an AMAZING daycare. I could not be happier with the professionalism, safety and love I feel my baby is given. Miss Cassidy and Miss Abbie are the best!!
Nzembi Kituku: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueWe love LSP so much. The teachers are always so happy to see our son, Jayden, and welcome him to school with a warm welcome. Ms. Kendra, Ms. Tatiana Barnett and Ms. Domineque Trout are truly amazing additions at LSP. Thank you for being fabulous ladies.
Bonnie Harmon: Words cannot express how thankful we are for finding LSP. The staff is very friendly, attentive, and caring.We toured several other daycares in the surrounding areas and I just couldn't send my infant to any of the places we toured. That is, until we found LSP. I have to admit that I cried in the car after my tour because I could feel the love they have for every child. I felt a sense of relief and I knew LSP was it for us.Since the beginning, the director Miss Shelly, has been wonderful and loving to my daughter.The assistant director Miss Anna has been outstanding and she is so upbeat and cheery.We are greeted with a smile and waves at every drip off and pickup by the entire front desk, especially from the wonderful Miss Jessica.Last but not least, Miss Abbie (teacher) and Miss Cassidy (lead teacher), I honestly don't know what I would do without them. They both care so deeply for every child and they are family to us. Miss Cassidy even came to our daughters first Birthday party and she will always be a part of our daughters life.If you are on the fence, go tour LSP and see just how amazing everyone is for yourself.It is worth every single penny!
Mandy Oaks: Our son is currently in the three's classroom and loves going to school. We like the structure they provide the children. LSP follows detailed lesson plans that encourage your child to learn age appropriate materials all while having fun.One of the best features for our family is LSP's policies related to food allergens. They truly put in the time to find meal options that the children will eat that are free from allergens. We unfortunately had to leave a few other daycares due to our son having multiple exposures to his allergen.I would also say our experience has been positive due to a certain teacher taking the extra time to discuss how my son's behavior was for that day. Ms. Dom goes above and beyond to keep me updated on his struggles and his positive moments each day. The management staff, Shelly and Anna are also wonderful to work with.
Aziza Felton: We moved here from Mississippi over the summer and were worried about finding a good childcare fit in a short period of time. The director and staff @LSP made sure the enrollment process was quick and I was very surprised at their efficiency and quick response times. My daughter loves her TWOS classroom, friends, and her teachers. Ms. Ardell is awesome in her role, and helped me take the plunge to get my baby fully potty trained! I am so grateful for LSP Cardinal and their engaging staff!
Tommy Felton: We've had a fantastic experience for the last few years here, our kids love going to class, the staff has always been helpful and friendly. After moving across town we transferred both kids to a new preschool that was closer to our new house, and transferred them back within a month. I'm so thankful we found such an amazing place for our kids to learn and grow!
Qiao Sabrina: I really appreicate my son's teacher in the 3 years class, their name are Sam and Dom. Dropping my son off in the morning was the most difficult time for me every day, he always crying and do not let me go. I know he propobly just need more attention there. Since this Monday, his drop off has been amazing. I really want to say thank you to his teach for all of the patience and love they gave to Benjamin.
Vanessa Verfurth: We recently had to change schools for our 2 year old. It was an unexpected and last minute situation that was out of our control and we felt a little overwhelmed. Luckily, we found Little Sunshine's on Cardinal and couldn't be happier. I wish we had started our toddler here in the first place! The entire staff is friendly, happy, and patient. The positive energy is contagious and I'm always in a good mood after interacting with the teachers and staff. Our toddler looks forward to going to school, no crying or whining when we drop him off like at his previous school. The optional extracurricular activities are a huge plus in keeping our toddler happy and active. I could go on and on about how thrilled we are Shelly and staff worked with us to give us the opportunity to a part of the LSP families!
Candice Miller-Felton: Little sunshine has been amazing. Both our kids have been attending for about two years. I cannot say enough about their teachers. Miss Hayley greats us every morning and makes drop off so easy. Miss Brit was very helpful during the tough potty training of our son. Both our kids love Miss Naya and can't wait to see her. All the staff is super friendly and welcoming and I feel very comfortable leaving my kids with them!
Andrea Hoff: Little Sunshine’s Playhouse has been an amazing part of our lives for 8 months now. I wouldn’t trust anyone else helping raise my little girl! I have had so many positive experiences with the school and the teachers. Haley and Britt in the 3’s class helped my daughter to transition out of staying home with me and made her comfortable. They are amazing!! Miss Gracie and Mr Blaine in pre-k have taught her so many things to prepare her for kindergarten! We LOVE Little Sunshine’s, all the teachers and directors, and all the fun and activities they provide. I would recommend this daycare to any friends or family. I would give more than 5 stars if I could!
Marcy Dorman-Chandler: I work in the Corporate Office for Little Sunshine's but also got to enroll my daughter into Little Sunshine's Playhouse - Cardinal. I get to see what a great organization LSP is all around. This wouldn't have been an opportunity if I wouldn't have accepted a position with the Corporate Team. I can't rave enough about LSP Cardinal. This is our third preschool in two years and this one by far has blown us away. My daughter has only been attending for a few weeks and we have seen such a huge difference not only in her behavior but she is finally speaking words and sentences. The director, assistant director and teachers are absolutely amazing and so good with the kids. I know my daughter is in great hands and getting an education. I am just so thankful that this opportunity happened for our family. If you are looking for a preschool that you won't be disappointed with, I highly recommend looking into Little Sunshine's Playhouse.
Elexsis Gregory: My daughter was left in dirty underwear several times. I was informed they take bathroom breaks a specific times & do not check with the students at any other time. I would NOT recommend this school.
Kristin Puente: This is one of the best preschools in Springfield! My daughter started here at 2 years old and the difference that we have seen in her is night and day. She has so much fun she actually never wants to leave at night when I pick her up! She is involved in the extracurricular activities, dance and Spanish, that they offer during school time and loves it! All of the teachers and staff are amazing as well. Checking in on her on the web cams is a very special ability that I appreciate and the daily reports keep me in the loop. It is a hard decision to send your child to daycare each and every day, but Little Sunshine's Playhouse has definitely made that decision a little bit easier!
Natalie Davis: Little Sunshine's is truly a unique "once upon a time" experience for every child and staff member! Highly recommend!
gracie063047: Little Sunshine's is a true blessing in the preschool community; they hold childcare to a very high standard. Their curriculum includes art projects, learning through play, language skills, and it is easy to see that the teachers truly care about the children. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for quality childcare.

Little Sunshine's Playhouse and Preschool of Springfield at Chestnut Expy.: what do users think?
NCC: They take great care of my son - we love it here the teachers are kind and very communicative with parents. Even the floaters take time to know your kid and their temperament. We are very happy here.
Keisha Everett: Our son has been going here for about a year and a half now and all of his teachers have been wonderful. He absolutely loves Ms. Emma and they have such a special bond! Stephanie and Kelli have been absolutely wonderful with adapting to his Type 1 diabetic needs! Our two month old daughter just recently started going there as well and we can tell her teachers truly care for her. We are so thankful to have such great teachers helping shape the minds of our children! ❤️
Bre Russell: As a teacher I can promise all the kids that come in are loved and cared for deeply. All the teachers are easy to get along with its a rewarding job knowing that you make an impact on these children's lives. As a parent of a toddler that attends, I feel very safe in my choice. My son has loved all of his teachers and is so excited everyday when he walks into class. Definitely recommend.
Alexandra Gallion: Our family does not have enough good things to say about the care that our son gets at this daycare. All 4 of the infant teachers, Mrs. Gwenn, Ms. Kylie, Mrs. Mak, and Ms. Joanna, love him like one of their own. Finding a place to trust with your child is the most difficult decision, but we are at ease knowing he is in their loving care every day.
Jamie Moore: We've been going to little sunshines for about 6 months now and couldn't be happier with the facility! The teachers are fantastic and the app they use for payments, pictures, and classroom updates is very handy. We love the Little Sunshines Playhouse and can tell that our child loves it there, too!
Leslie Tuter: My grandson has been going here for almost a year. The teachers and staff are so friendly and welcoming. I love being able to look at pictures of things they have done throughout the day!
Nikki Whitten: As a military family, we have ample experience with plenty of daycares and schools. I can confidently say that this location and this school program has been a huge blessing in our life and beats any other program we’ve had our daughter enrolled in. The school really cares and creates a safe and fun learning environment. I have noticed a huge difference in my daughter and it’s been amazing to watch this transformation. Miss grace and miss Kayla are truly angels and my daughter looks forward to seeing them every day.
Alexis Guth Sparks: I would never consider sending my almost 2 year old anywhere else in Springfield! It’s close to home, the staff are always receptive to anything our family needs, and my son is always happy to arrive! The care they provide is always top notch!
Danielle Whitener: We have had some of the BEST teachers with our kiddo. Our child had a medical emergency and the teachers reacted amazing for the circumstances. We even had a teacher sit with us at the hospital. The staff is phenomenal and we truly feel like they are family! 😊
Ariana Loar: Every day my little ones come home with so much more knowledge than the day before. I am very thankful they have such wonderful teachers who are so kind and patient.
Nereida Rodriguez: My son has been going here for almost two years and we both love it here! The teachers and staff are great-Ms Nicole is the latest addition and she is amazing and always a ray of sunshine. The curriculum changes per month according to their themes about everything from nature, the planets, animals, etc. I really enjoy the daily picture and text updates about what they’re up to, meals/snacks, naps and any other fun things throughout the day. Ms Tuesdi, Maddie and TT are always friendly and all smiles when we walk in the door. This place is top notch!
Abby Rodriguez: Wow! We can’t say enough good things about LSP. Our 18 month old daughter loves her teachers, Ms. Rachel and Ms. Betty so much. Through their writings in our daily LuvNotes I can tell they really love working with her and that makes my heart feel very grateful. She’s also learning a tremendous amount. Lots of sign language and the desire to be more and more independent, so proud of all that she learns in her class. Keep up the fantastic work!
Aleecia Watson: We absolutely love LSP for both our girls. Every single staff member cares so much about our girls. I have 200% trust that they are taking excellent care of my kiddos. Highly recommend.
Corey ryba: Positive:CommunicationCallie is a wonderful teacher! She communicates very well with the parents about their little ones. Our son adores Callie and talks about her all the time. You need more people like her!
Chris & Amanda Livingston: This is only for administration, not the care. The former director told us they can accept our child in January as long as we put down $200 deposit to secure the spot. We did that. The current director told us they can’t grantee a spot in January nor provide an estimate start date. The $200 is non refundable. Despite their policies, I had hoped that they would have treated us better. Because we needed care in January, we were forced to find care elsewhere, losing our deposit.
Alisha Richardson: Miss Jeanette in the Butterflies room at the Chestnut center in Springfield MO is amazing!! She has such patience with the kids and is open to any feedback the parents have given. My son Darius just loves her! If I have any questions regarding what’s going on with him I just talk to Jeanette! She really tries to find what works with each kid she has!Miss Stacy is great as well and has kept in contact with us regarding any issue or positive thing! She is so great to work with and always has a smile on her face!I would recommend this school to anyone!! It’s really great!!
Autumn Lawrence: Between moving and other circumstances, my two year old is at his 4th childcare center. I can say for certain though, he will not have another one before starting school. Little Sunshine's Playhouse is the best child care provider I've ever experienced and all of my friends and family are in all when I tell them about how wonderful they are. Getting daily reports and updates with a photo of my child is such a peace of mind, as well as having them greet him personally everyday and get to know him as a person. Their curriculum is kid friendly but not "dumbed down" at all. My son eats a vegetarian diet and they are very very accommodating. They're a little pricey for a single mom, but they do accept state financial aid. I could go on and on, but ultimately I just feel so good sending my son here and I would absolutely recommend them for anyone.
Melissa Shelton: My son is soon moving out of the Gummy Bear room but I would like to say that his teachers, Heather and June, have been nothing short of amazing for me and my little man! The teamwork and communication they have is second to none and has made my transition back to work much less stressful. I can count on them for frequent updates about things they notice with my son and areas they are seeing growth and development. They also are gracious to answer any questions I have as a new mom too, I've learned a lot from their experience. If your looking for a great team to care for your infant, June and Heather are the teachers you need!
Mike: We have had our two children here for years and have had "experiences" with other day cares. They are professional, have excellent curriculum, and really care about your children. If you have to leave your children with "other people," don't you think it is worth whatever price to have confidence in what your children are being taught?! After all, they spend more waking hours at day care during the work week than with their own parents! When we are exposed to other children that are the same age, it is usually obvious that our children have had better training and education. No day care is perfect, but this one is excellent!
Teri Fowler: BEWARE! My grandchild started at this LSP at only 6 weeks old. For several years he did well even though he was continually pushed into the next advanced classroom before others of the same age, but we came to be concerned by the overworked staff, over enrolled classrooms and "lobby lizards" that would be kept in the lobby if a classroom had too many students that day. We weren’t paying for our child to spend his day in the lobby idly watching adults eat and converse with an occasional staff member maybe stop by & read a story or something while they were on a break. You may be able to watch your child and the teachers in certain areas through the cameras, but remember you have NO idea what is being said and until your child is old enough and verbal enough to tell you, the damage is done. The school seems to be more concerned with adding enrollment equaling more dollars than the children's best interests. So much so that children are placed in classrooms not suited for their developmental age so the school can create an opening for a new student. Staff is reactive instead of proactive and seems to prefer more girl attributes than boys. I assume because boys are more inclined to need more physical outlets and activity than girls as studies have shown. Many of the positive reviews I read are about daughters and granddaughters. Staff, Directors, and Corporate (related to in-school staff) were negligent about follow up on behavior plans. Directors and Corporate alike put on a superficial sincerity, but are quick to throw the ball in your court rather than work on their own modifications. Since family members work in the school and in the corporate office, this may contribute to their negligence. My child had many blankets, pillows, jackets and clothes disappear during his 3 1/2 years there and considering he spent as much time with them (possibly more) than he did at home, not counting sleeping hours, their rapport with him declined and they took no responsibility in making appropriate changes. Often with the excuse their classrooms were too full to make changes. I also believe that because they are one of the few daycares that accept state assistance, they have a long list of children waiting to enroll which has led them to have a dispensable attitude with the children. If your son or grandson is intelligent and active, I certainly cannot recommend them and suggest you BEWARE of what appears to be such an open door and welcoming environment with a staff that is overwhelmed, burnt out, not always fully qualified, and definately underpaid. I will say a few classroom staff members over the years have been caring, loving, compassionate and professional, but overall I am deeply disappointed, frustrated and angry with the personnel.
J B: I am so thankful for Little Sunshine's Playhouse and Preschool. I set out to find a safe daycare for my child and instead I found so much more than I hoped! This is truly a school, and it does not feel like a daycare to me or my kiddo. My little one is always excited to go to school and is learning so much. Staff take such great care to establish a fun and engaging curriculum for each week. The teacher's personalization of their curriculum adds to the engaging nature of the class. The meals are a big hit too and far exceed the norm for quality and nutrition. Due to my line of work, I take safety measure very seriously and I have been impressed by the routinely orchestrated intruder drills, weather drills, and fire drills. Most of all, I would recommend Little Sunshine's Playhouse above any other child care facility as parents are welcome and encouraged to be involved with their child's experience in the school. LSP provides daily reports personalized for your child and you are always able to view the school and your kiddo by logging into the Kiddie Cams. This school sets the bar. Thank you, LSP for going above and beyond for my family!

Ms. Christian is an amazing teacher! She always has an positive attitude and is great at communicating with me. Ms. Joni is also wonderful, she treats my child like her own.

It’s people like this that really kind of make this place feel like a family when you walk in. We wouldn’t send our kids anywhere else. The building is attractive, clean and nice out of the way location.

Marcus Troup: Awesome staff and learning environment, my son loves it there. Kelley and her staff do an amazing job.

Macedonia Pre-School: what do users think?
Halie Pendergrass: My daughter goes here and Besides her past bad experiences with other daycares, I love this one!
Dina Wilson: Affordable preschool. They don't do any real kindergarten prep until age 4 though. The staff is very friendly and really cares about your family. My son started developing some behavior problems after he was switched to a new teacher. She didn't seem able to handle him even though we were assured she had experience. We started off great and loved this school until this happened. When my son turned 4 we had him tested for kindergarten readiness by the wonder years program and he was behind. Since starting with wonder years he is doing much better. They were able to address his behavior and properly correct it. He loves public school a lot more than his old preschool. Towards the end of our time at Macedonia, he started crying when I would leave him. (Something he had never done before.) This school was a big help in allowing me to afford to go back to work, but it just didn't work out long term for my family.
Karen York Stephens: Excellent child care, teaching young children,Christian atmosphere,. Quality leadership
Matt Jacks: My wife and I have been very pleased with Macedonia. We live on the west side of town so we were looking for something convenient, but good. We currently have a 4 year old and a 2 year old there, they both like it very much. All the staff appears caring and nice, and everyone is smiling when we drop off our girls. We’ve never had any problems and are very thankful Macedonia exists!
