Great group teachers who care so much about their students and correcting any issues that come their way.
Shariah RenaeOct 2, 2025Moved to Rainforest about a month ago from another daycare in the neighborhood after having some bad experiences and its night and day difference. I am so impressed with the toddler program and genuinely trust her teachers Tatiana and Teah - they are sweet, friendly, and keep us informed. The communication is great. I love that they dont update the apps with tons of photos because they are paying attention and engaged with the kids but we do get updated with meals, diaper changes, and naps. I love the events and activities scheduled as well as the themes of the week and newsletters they put such hard work into maintaining. On pickup at the previous daycare my daughter used to sob crying when she saw us out of relief to go home and now she doesnt want to leave and embraces her teachers when we drop her off in the mornings. I can tell in just one month how much she has learned and seems so much more emotionally stable and thriving. I was hesitant about Rainforest because of some lower reviews but honestly so glad we made the switch.
Bree WickhamSep 13, 2025We love every minute of being at this daycare! The place is always covered in new art from the kids, usually cycles out with themes often related to art shows/ performances. Our daughter has enjoyed being here and we've appreciated the service/ staff, especially compared to our old daycare nearby. We feel very safe with two doors and separate classrooms. However, there is a big common room for shared activities, which is great when the weather doesn't let the kids go outside. Can definitely tell you that the few negative reviews are trolls btw.
Colleen WieczorekAug 25, 2025We started our eldest here when he was an infant, and he has had a great experience in every classroom. Over the past nearly 3 years we have seen remarkable consistency with the staff, promoting assistant teachers from within, which is reassuring. It feels good knowing the staff there know your children and care about their well being and development. Our second is there now as an infant, and doing just as well. It is certainly expensive, but also in line with the other full time day care programs in the area. I also find the parent community to be warm and welcoming. In our experience when typical daycare issues arise, the staff are communicative and proactive to address solutions. I would recommend Rainforest to anyone in the area.
Leah FedermanApr 30, 2025We started rainforest from a Montessori setting and I have to say I like the teaching methodology at rainforest as much as I like the Montessori approach. Also the teachers and assistants are all well informed about your kid. So I’m not worried about who’s in the class room and if they know what my kid needs. They have answered all my questions in details and provided ease and comfort during the transition from one school to another. I’m very grateful for the teachers in the 12-15months classroom. Also the director is lovely, she’s so kind and comforting, it feels like you are chatting with a friend.
Lola JohnsonMay 16, 2023They spray water to the kids like if the were animals! They always talk about which kid is cute or ugly and talk bad about the parents. Do not send your kids here they won’t be taken care of.
