We have loved having our kids in Poko Loko. We have experienced infant through kindergarten classrooms and we could not be more impressed. The staff/teachers are so caring and they create a family environment. They have an amazing balance between play and learning with a curriculum. They are SO CLEAN and take so much attention to keep a healthy environment. My kids LOVE going to Poko Loko and are excited to say what they have done that day. We have been with another daycare and this far exceeds it. My kids love their teachers and they are learning so much and come out with wonderful social skills. 100% recommend. Would choose this facility over and over.
Rachel KasperOct 23, 2024I could not have been more pleased with our experience at Poko Loko. Just about every employee there knew my child by name, even teachers he never worked with. And the teachers he did work with were nothing short of amazing. From nurturing classroom environments to addressing behavioral issues quickly, to clear, concise communication with parents, this place is run exceptionally well by Ms. Paulette and her Crew. Most of the employees have been there for years which says a lot. Yes, Poko is expensive but all daycare is. On our last day there, I felt like we were leaving family behind. If you are lucky enough to get your kid in at Poko, don't miss the opportunity!
Mathew JenkinsOct 18, 2024Both my children have gone through Poko Loko, starting in the infant rooms! The staff made sure my oldest was well prepared for a successful year of kindergarten, and my youngest is almost ready for that transition as well! We have loved our time with Poko Loko, and the kids have had so much fun. Poko Loko brings a great balance of structure and play! There are plenty of opportunities for kids to get creative, explore sensory activities, play outside, and learn!
Margaret NagysOct 10, 2024Both of my girls attend Poko Loko and it has always been a great experience. I was so nervous with my first, but they did everything to help make me feel comfortable. Each of their teachers have been caring and truly do love these kids which is so important. They even have helped spot things like developing ear infections so I could get it taken care of right away. My toddler looks forward going every day to see her little friends. My baby can’t talk yet but when she does I’m positive she will say the same!
H MOct 7, 2024Poko loko has been a part of our our family for over 8 years when we picked it as the daycare for our firstborn. We visited other daycare's in the area that seemed fine, but I didn't want "fine" for my kiddos - I wanted the best, which is why we chose Poko. The daycare and teachers who work there are safe, caring and warm, and they love our children for us while we're working. We have 3 children and the transition to parenthood can be so overwhelming, but ours was made a lot easier because of the village we've built with Poko.
Tiffany LaveryOct 4, 2024Truly a 5 star experience with Poko Loko. Great experience with all of the staff and would not choose anyone else to help raise our son. Our two year old has been with Poko Loko since he was 4 months and is thriving, loves his teachers and is excited to go to school every day. We love the personal experience, and Poko Loko is always such a welcoming, educational, and fun environment. It takes a village and we are so happy to have Poko Loko be a part of our village. Would highly recommend!
