5 /5 JustBriTaylor_: I’ve been with ivy kids since my daughter was a few weeks old and my son was around 15 months (she will be 2 in a few days and my son just turned 3). When signing them up there was waitlist and shortly after enrollment, the previous director retired and a lot of senior staff left.
With that change I was skeptical and nervous about how it would impact the daycare but I’m happy to say that they have an amazing staff.
Jessica in the front is always kind and willing to assist with any issue, always accompanied with a smile and friendly demeanor.
Dawne, the new director is also very friendly, alert and aware everything going on in the facility. Ms Nikki provides the meals for all the kids. She is kind, always in a happy cheerful mood, she speaks to every kid and greets every parent every morning! Jessica, Dawne, and Nikki knows each child by name and greets them every single morning I kid you not.
The infant A&B teachers were nothing short of amazing when my daughter was in their class. She can be standoffish but she was always excited to go into class and see her teachers which spoke volumes.
My kids loveeeee Jnaie or as my kids call her “Ms. Naenae” in the toddlers class (she started when my son was still in that class and is currently there with my daughter who is about to transition out). The toddler class had a high turnover at one point but Jnaie has been consistent, attentive, informative, and communicates very well with me and other parents from what I’ve seen.
Ms Taylor and Ms Shanta oversee the 2A/2B and are also amazing! My son is high energy as most 2-3 year olds are, but they are able to calm him down without being rude mean or aggressive to the point where my son lovesss coming to school to see them. They both communicate with me very well when giving updates on my son’s progress which I’m thankful for.
The staff beyond the 3 year mark I’m not overly familiar with as my kids haven’t been in their class yet, but I do see them in passing at times and they are also sweet and attentive which I appreciate.
Overall I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience here and have no intentions of leaving!
