  • Kelly’s Kids has been phenomenal for our family. We have a kid in 3/4 of the rooms and have been so happy with all the teachers there. Our son struggled with walking and they were nothing but helpful and encouraging for him and our whole family. They take your concerns seriously and are so responsive when anything comes up. The staff treat you and your kids like family. Their play areas are perfect for the kids and very private. It’s comforting to know my kids are safe and well cared for while they’re not home.

  • I love this place and I love all the teachers. They do amazing with teaching all the kids the things they need to go to kindergarten. Not only that but they also so good about telling me what my child does good and what she does wrong. I love knowing that she is safe and happy whare she is during the day. The teachers don't get thanked enough for keeping our children safe and happy. The biggest of thank yous to everyone that works there. WE LOVE YOU ALL!! WE WILL MISS YOU NEXT YEAR!! 💖💖💖💖

  • Kelly's Kids is an amazing center. They have a loving caring staff, the facility is always clean and inviting and the meals are top notch. Those are the basics, the additional perks are numerous. They keep the staff up to date with relevant training and are a step 4 rating in the 5 step Nebraska Step up to Quality Rating system. That rating is described as "Execdes Quality Standards". They are diligently working towards step 5 and I believe they will make it. They have fun and challenging curriculum, field trips for school aged children and provide parents with timely communication via their Facebook page, email & text. My Granddaughter has attended the center since she was 6 weeks old and now is five. Next year when she's in kindergarten we plan on continuing with Kelly's Kids for school days out and summers and wouldn't want her anywhere else!

  • This daycare needs a lot of work. They constantly have teachers out of ratio in rooms full of kids running around. The owner is always in her office I never see her engage with any classrooms or helping staff and it’s obvious the teachers there don’t care for the kids. Rooms are not clean what so ever, nothing what the photos show on google. it looks very messy and poor. I’m glad I switched daycares I can see everything my kid is doing with an app when this daycare barely talked to me when I picked up or dropped off.(edit: this was meant for Kelly’s kids 4005 north 70th)

  • We initially thought the daycare was a great fit for our family. We loved the idea of a smaller center where our child could get more individualized attention. In the beginning, we were happy with the care, and our daughter seemed to enjoy her time there. However, we soon realized that the care we were receiving didn't meet the expectations we had for the price we were paying. We became aware that the lead teacher in the infant room wasn't as compassionate toward the babies as we had hoped. Additionally, our favorite teacher left, which was a disappointing change. After much consideration, we decided to move our daughter to a new daycare, and we couldn't be happier with our decision. The new center uses the Brightwell app rather than a piece of paper like they use here, the app allows us to see a "play-by-play" of her day, including pictures of the activities and regular updates from the teachers which is a nice change from the paper where we had to assume they were doing what it said and never fully knew what all they were doing with their day. It's been reassuring to have such clear communication and to feel more connected to her daily experiences with the new center. Since making the switch, we've noticed a significant improvement in our daughter's mood and development. She's more engaged, happy, and thriving in the new environment. We're so grateful for the changes we've seen, and it’s clear that the new center’s approach aligns much better with our family's needs. In hindsight, I would recommend doing thorough research and considering other options before settling for this center. While it might work well for some families, it ultimately wasn't the right fit for us.
