Amazing staff with so much heart and caring mindset. It's wonderful seeing our daughter get excited about going to daycare here. The teachers really make an effort to engage the kids and develop them in a very individualised way. The management is really committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment and we're very thankful to all of the loving staff and the whole team at Plaza. Unfortunately with the scheduling at work we had to take our baby girl out :(
Would recommend 100 percent!

We have been sending our children to plaza child care since our oldest was 3. Now almost 7 years later we are so happy we chose them. All three of our boys have had a wonderful experience there.
My middle son who has been going since he was 2 1/2 and is now in the kindergarten program loves school and looks forward to going everyday. My husband and I are are more then happy with the eduction and are amazed with how wonderfully he is progressing.
Our 3 year old also loves it. He only goes three days a week and is disappointed he can't go on his days off. We will definitely be sending him five

Recently my daughter told me that one of her teachers at Plaza made her feel abnormal because she has a tic- she plays with her hair a lot- that our pediatrician told us to ignore!
This is a very rough place. Teachers see this as a job, not a passion about teaching kids to learn. They are or that educated either.
My wife is a physician, and the staff (who have no healthcare background) completely disrespected her on several occasions, including rolling eyes when I told her she knew about our daughter!
At one point, in a date night event, our kids wanted cheese pizza and were forced to eat meat

This school is top notch! You will not find another school with the cleaning standards that this school has! Everyday I take my child to school this place sparkles and I know my child is safe!
The teachers treat you like family and go above and beyond to meet the parent and child needs. Mrs Lori the director is exceptional and very accommodating, she answers all questions and makes you feel comfortable and secure when choosing a school for your little one.
I am so happy with The Plaza Child Care Family!

I have been sending my children to Plaza Cild care for almost ten years now ! My 3 rd child is currently attending Plaza . Even after the pandemic I felt safe with my child returning . There is NO other school as clean and welcome as this one !! Staff is top- notch , they feel part of my extended family . Education and social skills are most important at this young age , and Plaza provides a well rounded environment for my children . Most other pre- schools can not be held to such high standards , and there is a certified teacher in each classroom . Before sending my 2 Nd child here I checked out

When you enroll your child at Plaza Child Care you are enrolling them in more than just a daycare or learning facility. They become part of a family; a loving and nurturing school community. The owners and staff offer so much more than just teaching; you get a personalized experience which is what every parent wants in entrusting a group of people with their most prized possession(s). I would not think of bringing my child anywhere else. Thank you Plaza Child Care!

Ourdaughter was there for about 3 years.
It is important to note that many positive reviews are submitted by staff. I always pay special attention to negative reviews because the content may be more relevant.
I base this review on the fact that our daughter was very unhappy there, as she confided in me at times- but I knew instinctively something was wrong. She repeatedly told me that teachers (especially in aftercare) were “mean”. She never wanted to go back, but it haunts me that I continued to take her there.
The staff is very inflexible and run it like a business.

I am a pediatrician and I have been sending my 3.5year old and almost 5year old to Plaza since they were 3.5months old. It is a WONDERFUL place full of the most caring teachers. Picking Plaza was one of the best decisions I've ever made. My kids are loved, nurtured, and taught in the best environment. I didn't think I could be more impressed... Until after covid. It's such a well-run, spotless place. Mrs Lori and her staff worked so hard to keep Plaza open for us working parents and I do not have the words to tell them how grateful I am for each and every one of them. I would choose Plaza again

Our daughter, after being asked to leave Plaza Child Care (with special needs) now has true confidence. I am so thankful for that. I have pictures of her there, which looked depressed and sad- she even stopped eating- and now she is exuberant and joyful...doesn't even want to leave! She is gaining weight appropriately and looks forward to school every day.
Our daughter finished kindergarten at a Montessori, and it was the best thing that she left Plaza...
Her "teachers" were replaced by those who had masters degrees, and taught her enough math and reading that she is now winning

GREAT SCHOOL! I have 3 children that have all attended Plaza Child Care. With my first child I made the mistake and sent him to a chain school like lightbridge What a mistake , these chain schools are ran like a cooperation and a high employee turn over rate ! Plaza child care , is my extended family The owner and staff take time to get to know every family on a personal level The teachers are highly trained and all certified , it shows they are truly devoted ! I read a review that rattled me a bit ! Plaza does have an open door policy , I have come in and out over the past 10 years at

Since the moment my eldest started care here, we have loved it! We moved from out of state and had no friends to ask where to go, but I knew that this was a great place after my tour and meeting with the owner and director. I have a background in child welfare and specifically, day care licensing- the first thing I noticed was the teachers and providers have been employed there for years, some even decades! This is the number one issue with "bad" daycares- high turnover. You know the facility just isn't doing something right. Plus, having the same caregivers for your children provides

Hmm changing my review from five stars. I don't feel they are acedemic enough...my son said " it's the same thing everyday mommy" and he didn't want to go back at three years old. Also, they show cartoons for a short time occasionally and snacks are not really healthy. I wanted the to use my healthier snacks but the teacher didn't seem receptive. Overall still a good place but not great for my higher standards.

I can't say enough great things about Plaza. My child has attended from infancy through pre-k. Every team member has stellar communication skills which has allowed me to feel like I never missed a moment of my child's development. I truly feel like all of the teachers have cared for my child as if she was family. She is such a fantastic little human and while I take pride in that, Plaza deserves credit as well! We will miss everyone so terribly as we move on to kindergarten.
Also, the level of cleanliness is top notch and no other facility can compete. Lori does not play games with that.

I couldn't say more about Plaza child care! My youngest is graduating tomorrow and I wanted to take the chance to thank everyone there for all they've done for me and my family. I know so many families who have come out of there with just the most amazing experiences. They all genuinely care about the kids and families that come through there. They consider them all their own family. It's such an amazing unit. One teacher stands out in particular for me. Ms Pam teaches the 4 yr olds, she put her sweat and tears into these kids. My oldest child had her and loved her like family. She

After looking extensively for a preschool/daycare facility for my daughter when she was 9 months old, Plaza came highly recommended. Colleagues suggested I check out Plaza, they expressed how pleased they were - some whose children currently attended, others whose children attended 10+ years ago. I have since learned that many of the teachers from 10+ years ago are still there.
The women who work there love the kids, and you can feel that from the moment you walk through the doors. Plaza quickly became a second family, and all the teachers knew my daughter and I soon knew most of the teachers
