We already had a spot for our 3 year old at another school closer to where we work, but they couldn’t take him until late August. We found LOLA not too far away from us and approached the admin there about enrolling our child just for the summer. The expectation was that he would simply attend for 6-8 weeks, then go to his new school. Long story short, we ended up liking the staff and situation at LOLA so much that it turned out to be a heart-wrenching decision to pull our child out when the time came. Ultimately, we decided to stick to the plan for our own convenience and because we had waited a year and a half to get the spot at the other school, but we agonized over the decision for several weeks. Our son’s teachers were all very caring and he especially loved Ms Kris, who greeted him with a hug each day. The playground was one of the best I have seen at any preschool and it was 60-70% shaded! They even had a covered area outside where kids could get fresh air on rainy days. I have read some other negative reviews, particularly on Yelp, but I have to say we did not have any of those experiences. We did read our contract, though 😉 I will say one thing- the cost per week is among the lowest in the region and it is a great value. It is by no means perfect, but no place is. We could of course suggest some small improvements, but all would probably cause an increase in the tuition and impact the inclusiveness of the student body. Bottom line, our child enjoyed going to school each day and he still to this day asks to see Ms Kris. We wish all of the staff at LOLA our best and thank them for a wonderful summer.

I hate to bash I was really looking forward to loving this daycare but the infestation is crazy my son was only here for a month and that was due to me having to look for a better daycare. Ever since he started everyday was a new bug bite I took my son to his pediatrician turns out it had to be bed bugs spider bite since the bites would swell up and fell hot as I touched it. Now, when it came down to fixing the issue the staff would make it seem that they would have someone to come in regularly to fumigate which I feel was a lie a whole month and my son was getting bit up bad. As a first time mom I was not happy at all. When it came down to transferring my son to a new daycare these people were forcing me to have to pay for 2 weeks straight since I didn’t give them 2 weeks. This daycare right here was the worst experience me and my 2 year old have to ever endure PLEASE DO NOT BRING YOUR BABIES HERE !!!!!!
