is there any way I can give this place a negative star? I dont have children my niece was there for less than a week before her mother had to take her out. These are the most rude and unprofessional women and they give a bad name to child care workers. The owners set a horrible example of how to behave and the employees follow suit. Im not even sure they even like children over there. I wouldnt send my child there ever!

I wanted to give 0 stars but YP made me click at least one. The ONLY good thing is they open at 6a for people who have to go to work early. The staff are not trained to take care of children properly. I did not like how they hold my baby without head support and her little legs just dangling. I was walking to the back to the infant room and heard one of the workers pronounce "sink" as "zank". Now I know a lot of New Orleans people say it this way but that is not how it should be taught in school. Children should have proper education and if they stray or their environment changes that then so be it. I only liked 2 of the women in the whole place but after I said I was taking my child out their attitudes changed. It was like I was shunned for taking my child out. People would stop talking and just look when I came in. My child would always be put in a swing in the corner because she was constantly crying because she didn't sleep on her back (I was paying for the camera so yes I would call to have her in better view). They would always shove a bottle in her mouth to keep her quiet (they didn't realize she was only crying because she was sleepy). I had a minor complaint and when I returned the next day it was as if the staff was mad that I called the "boss". They were very sarcastic in meeting my needs. The "boss" acted as if she was tired of me calling. At times the 1 yr olds or a little younger who were walking would be in the same room as the smaller infants. They would be climbing on swings that the babies were in. I understand they are just exploring but I was scared someone would tip over. They would be bouncing and the younger baby would just be crying because they are getting shook up. The 1 yr olds were everywhere and the staff couldn't control them. The changing table is right by one of the swings so when they would spray it for sanitizing the particles would get on the baby sitting in that swing. I'm sure there's other problems based on the other comments but I'm glad I am done with this awful place. I just hated it all together.

Nice staff, great daycare

I am a very picky mother. With that being said, I would not send my kids to any daycare. My kids are everything to me. My kids attend Kidz Courtyard and after reading these reviews, I must say I disagree with the negativity. My kids are well kept while in daycare. The staff shows love to my kids. They are clean, they teach them new things and most of all they make my kids feel love. My kids look forward to going to school and being with their friends. I think the daycare is strict but in the real world rules needs to be enforced so they will be followed. I even saw a comment saying they are money hungry but if parents don't pay their kids tuition on time how can the daycare pay their bills on time. If you come to drop your kids off and the lights are off that will be another complaint saying they are broke. My experience with Kidz Courtyard has been nice, if anything change I will be back on here to let you all know. I am a mother of 3 and I recommend Kidz Courtyard :)

This facility is ran by two directors.They don't know how to hold an respectful conversation with parents.Attitude is very nasty.When you have a business you need to be professional at all time.These women always have an attitude.with parents and employees The infant room is clean the women are nice

I would not recommend this business. I read the other reviews and took them with a grain of salt. My nephew attended and was taken out a short time later. They did not work with the mother very well. It was a "too many cooks in the kitchen" situation.



This place is very clean, but what's the point when the staff is unbearable?

OUTSTANDING DAYCARE!

My daughter has been enrolled in this daycare for 2 years. I have not had any negative issues with this daycare. They are strict but it gets you ready for the real world. My child is learning spanish from this daycare. May not be the most liked daycare because some people do not want to respect rules and policies.

All Praises go to this Daycare!!! Keep up the good work!! Luv yall!!!!!!!!!!!!

i know them personally

Kidz courtyard is the WORST for your child to attend.The so called director whos name is not even on the business her husband owns it is very ignorant and unprofessional.She disrespectful to parents makes u wanna bat her seriously, they are money hungry dont give a care about the kids she curses in front of the kids and even calls some of them ugly.They never keeps the same workers cuz of her attitude so that results in her hiring anyone cuz they desperate in needing employees there.She mess with everyone man and daddy that comes through but is nasty towards the women.This place is not a good choice for your child to attend he/she will stay in time out the 1year olds do sit on the rug all day thats also true everything the other reviews says is true so if you dont really care where your child attend thats fine but if u do kidz courtyard is NOT the place.

Not a good pick if you love your child!

Infant room is great. Very clean, cheery, lots of engaging toys for babies. But the buck stops there. Once your kid leaves infant room, this place has a lot to be desired!!!!! Staff turn-over rate is terrible. There is NO consistency in keeping workers so your child will never be able to form a bond his or her caregiver. Owners have no clue as to what types of things should going on that are developmentally appropriate for each stage. One year olds sit on a rug ALL DAY. If they DARE get off the workers in the room herd the babies back to the rug for MORE sitting in front the tv. Staff is NOT attentive and do not inform parents of child being ill (because they do not interact with them). Most of the people hired are inexperienced teeny-boppers straight out of high school and clearly have had no training on how to care for others peoples kids. One of the older kids "teacher" talks so mean to the kids with the nastiest tone you would ever want to hear and their form of correcting bad behavior is sticking kids in another room ALONE unattended and made to stand on against the wall. They claim low ratio but are bursting at the seems to collect as much bang for buck as possible. They have even been sited of the department of social services state review board!!!! Among many other violations. Bottom line, if you want your child to be someone where they see strangers everyday(high turn-over, toddlers hearded like cattle and forced to sit on a rug to watch t.v. doing nothing engaging, corporal punishment, and being cared for by inexperienced, untrained staff then this is the place for you!!! Do your research, check the dept. of soc. ser website for quality star rated facilities. The more the better.

Looks are deceiving!

This facility looks well kempt on the outside and when you walk in a get a tour of the facility, but that's is as far as it goes!!!!

The staff are UNTRAINED AND NON CERTIFIED caretakers! To put it simply.....they are there to just get a check! The staff working with the children are by NO MEANS QUALIFIED INSTRUCTORS BY ANY MEASURE! There policy on discipline is street, ghetto ruled enforced!

For example;

1.) Child A hits Child B, then the staff will tell Child A to stand still and let Child B hit them back.

2.) One staff members style of discipline is to hit the kids on the top of there head to obtain compliance, another staff member will resort to twisting ears. Unfortunately, both of these ladies work with the toddlers 3 & 4 y/o.

3.) It has been seen when picking up my child staff in the outside play area with head phones on listening to music with kids in the back corner area of the playground fighting, but she didnt notice b/c she was getting "jiggy" with it.

4.) Staff members use poor grammatical English. Constantly mispronounce words such as: children, orange, oil, corner the stereotypical way some from New Orleans pronounce it.



If you love your child and want the best possible learning atmosphere, by MATURE, EDUCATED AND QUALIFIED staff, then by all means stay away from this facility!!!
