Recent parent reviews

  • We have been a part of the SLCA South family since 2021-22, and could not be happier. We have sent three children through SLCA South, with two older who are now school age, and one who is still in daycare. The way SLCA prepared my older kids for Kindergarten is something I feel grateful for every day. My youngest who is still there is thriving, learning and feeling loved every day. As a parent you honestly can’t ask for more!!! Would recommend to anyone!

  • Silverleaf has a staff that is caring, knowledgeable, and loving towards every child. Children are taught age appropriate lessons, that focus on cognitive, social emotional, and academic development. You will not be disappointed choosing Silverleaf for your child.

  • We have been so happy with absolutely everything about Silverleaf and the staff at the south location. Our boys loved going to daycare every day and really enjoyed all their teachers and classmates. We can not recommend this place enough. Get on the waitlist and get in there!

  • My 4yr old son went to silverleaf 4th street location for about 8mo. Academically I’ll give this place 5 stars, Ms. Janice works really hard with the kiddos. Staffing wise I can still some of their new employees were not really interested in the job, did not seem motivated and some employees appeared to be high off marajauna at times.

  • My son has gone to the South location for 2 years & I have nothing but positive things to say. I am constantly in contact with the staff via their app. They send lesson plans, meal plans & photos daily. My son is always happy to be dropped off at daycare and I feel confident that he is academically excelling attending Silverleaf. They are like a second family & I am so grateful for their services.

  • I wouldn’t recommend this company to anybody, the directors are more worried about their check other then the safety of your child. The owners don’t even live in this state and refuse to hear parents concerns. This place is horrible. They can’t control the children, & the staff doesn’t care.
