  Asking for the care givers names was asking for " confidential information "... if their employees names are confidential, what else is being hidden from the parents?! Bad vibes from Shanna before passed on to someone else, she looked sickly. Then the 2nd woman, I totally judged how she responded to her own child there... debating on reporting beyond this...

  Day school itself is good especially the teachers. But the director/owner is non-decent people. She charge money in 1 second. But if you find a wrong charge or something else you need her feedback, it will take a couple of months or years to get feedback. My kid doesn’t attend school for almost year. But she still charge tuition without official notice. I made several calls but didn’t get any feedback. She just keep charging money. Please think twice before you send kid there. You might have to deal with really non-decent people.

  We couldn't be happier with HDS! We have had our sons in the AK program and daycare this year and have been so impressed with the growth they have made. The staff is kind, caring, and welcoming! There is extremely low turnover. The facility is always clean and organized. We trust the care our kids have been given and would recommend HDS to anyone! Truly a great experience!!

  First of all we applied a few years ago when my oldest was just over 1 and pregnant with 2nd. They had a 1 year wait at the time and had constant communication with miss Carolyn and the owner. We were able to get both of our kids in after waiting 9 months. I will tell you why the 9 month wait to get into this school was WELL worth it. Please see below 😀 We have a 4 year old in JR K and a 1.5 year old in the toddler room. We have been with Hiawatha Day school sense our 4 year old was 2. This was this best decision we have ever made. They focus on each child and their needs. They customize plans and insure education is a focus even in the infant room. (Infant room even sticks to your schedule not making you switch to their schedule-that was a HUGE plus) The teachers are purely amazing and a special shout out to Miss Carolyn who rocks at helping run the HDS. She knows every family and truly cares for the children as if they were your own. Our lives have changed a ton and seen a HUGE academic improvement in both of our children. •They feed only home cooked meals and it always smells yummy in that kitchen. •concerts •report cards •progress reports daily and a HUGE focus on -reading -Spanish -behavior issues addressed privately with parents so parents know how to help correct behavior such as biting and as a class the kids focus on a "no biting zone" talk about how to deal with conflict etc. how they support the families who go here is purely amazing. •they have actual teachers in each room and a program for early child care after school staff from the local colleges and Xavier high school. We will be sad when the day come our two kiddos have to go to another school. Love you HDS!
