I had nothing but problems with this school. I was very unhappy about my childs important information just laying around all over there front desk. Call me old fashioned but I like to keep my childs full name, address, ssn, and all of my information private from anyone just coming in and taking it. I loved the idea of a locked door but while picking up my daughter one day they let in 5 people or so that they didn't even know so anyone could come in. In my opinon if I was an unactive parent they would of been happy but since I ask tons of questions and durning pick up try to read papers they post up they get mad. I was told to get out of the room they were ready to go home when I was trying to read what they were planning on teaching so I can ask my daughter about her day and what she did. Overall I was unhappy with the school, staff, safety, and education she received. Hopefully I will have better luck with her Kindergarden teachers.

I love love love this school. I have two daughters that have both been through the preschool and VPK programs. They are always happy to go there and never want leave when I go to pick them up. My oldest is excelling in elementary school and my youngest is already reading sight words, and it's only halfway through the vpk year! I recommend this school to anyone looking for a great start for their kids.

Both of my daughters attended KRK Southshore. My oldest transferred there from another local daycare when she was three and my youngest attended from the age of 3 mos - 4 years (we moved away over the summer or she would still be there) . We couldn't have been happier with the facility, the teachers and the owners. One particular advantage is that the owners are on-site and accessible daily. They are extremely responsive and always concerned with the safety and well being of the kids. I appreciated the focus on providing healthy, whole food meals, lots of outside activities and providing a fun learning environment. My daughter went to kindergarten already knowing how to read. The teachers are engaged and capable and also very responsive. I have recommended KRK-Southshore to everyone looking for a daycare in the area. Great place.

I am a parent of 2 children who are (have) attended KRK-Southshore we started there when my daughter was 18 months (2007) and my son began attending at 12 weeks of age (2008). We have always felt the school provides a safe, loving, nurturing, and educational environment. The teachers and staff are always friendly and willing to give their time to the students and to the parents. Most teachers have been there for several years and there have been several teachers whom have taught both my daughter and son. Any concerns I have ever had, I have spoken directly to the director &/or owners and the issues were resolved and always kept an open dialogue with me regarding my concerns. My daughter graduated from the VPK program and I feel the firm educational foundation she received has assisted her in excelling in Kindergarten & 1st grade. My son is current in the VPF program, and again I still feel very confident in the skills/knowledge he is learning will assist him in his further education. I have recommended KRK-Southshore to friends and family and will continue to do so for many years to come.

A schedule will help. Just say "ok its potty time." A schedule is one of the main reason kids seem to magically toilet train when they go to nursery school.
