If I could give negative stars I would. I avoided writing this review as long as possible but recent interactions with the school made me realize I should say something. AVOID THIS SCHOOL!!! The teachers tell all the parents how underpaid they are when we ask why they quit. My daughter had a revolving door of teachers while she was there. During my daughters vpk year one of her teachers quit, we were promised a teacher would be hired immediately to help but that was a lie. There were 5 different “directors” employed during our time there as well. My daughter came home with scratches on her face one day and we were never informed. We made a big deal about it and the fearless leader poked his head out and emailed me to of course pass the blame on everyone else, including my 5 year old. Multiple incidents involving her classmates with them getting hurt and parents not being told. We called today to see if Ava could go back tomorrow for the day during winter break, we were told that administration said she’s no longer allowed there because of an incident. They have teachers putting your children’s face on their personal tik toks and when asked to take it down the teacher flipped out and went off on a parent. My opinion, children aren’t safe there and that’s because Frank likes to hire unqualified kids that will take terrible pay to take care of our children. Just ask most teachers that quit, it’s either because of Frank or because of the low pay. There’s so many good schools in Wellington, this one is at the absolute bottom of the list.

Neighborhood kids has been phenomenal for our daughters. They have both been at Greenbriar for a year now, and we can't say enough about the staff. Sarah has been amazing and our girls teachers have been so kind with them. The school has been very responsive to the needs of our children. The culture of warmth and faith at the school has been incredibly reassuring for us, We are looking forward to this next year and how they learn and grow at the school.Thank you so much!

Our child has been at NHK Greenbriar for the better part of a year. He started in the Infant room at 4 months old and that was an OUTSTANDING experience. The level of care and communication far exceeded our expectations. About 2 months ago he transitioned into the toddler room and the exceptional care and service has stayed consistent . He is growing socially, developmentally and independently. I consider The teachers and administration as an extension of our family . We love NHK Greenbriar and highly recommended to anyone in search of a quality, dependable day care and preschool in a good , safe and quiet location. We truly appreciate all that you do!

My husband and I are very pleased to have put our daughters in this location. Ms. Rosi, Ms. Sarah and Ms. Nicole are very dedicated in greeting the kids and parents and the staff are very well trained. They listen and they care. The girls have learned and developed so much from the time they started. We couldn't be happier! As parents, we know that working with kids require a lot of patience. And it's not easy. If you are looking for a daycare, look no further. This is truly the place to be!

Both of my boys went to Neighborhood Kids starting at 6 months old (now 8 and 5 years old). The teachers and front desk staff/administrators have always been so caring, supportive and we always felt our boys were in good hands. We will miss NBK and the love they showed our boys.

Update response:Ironic you do not address any of my concerns just pointing out you passed an inspection. Legal does not make a childcare provider “quality”. Any parent who has a child with unexplained bruising in a child that cannot speak should be encouraged to investigate and do due diligence.-You still max out rooms-Your teachers are overwhelmed-there are no set activities or curriculum available to the toddlers- they are allowed and encouraged to throw food, scream, bite and hit- I have personally witnessed 18 one year olds in a room at a time. It was chaos- screen time is also utilized.I have also witnessed your staff grabbing my one year old son by his wrists and swinging him up. The director ( Rosi ) agreed after watching the tape and reprimanded the staff member who was poorly trained by your 40 plus year experienced school. Ironic all reports of my son being bit on your app have since been deleted. Most daycares in the area are aware of your school and allot of parents have switched due to the same issues I have experienced. So you take it how you take it. I personally wouldn’t take a defensive approach to an honest review and really reflect on what kind of environment you are setting for children and make positive changes for the better. Both my son and I are incredibly happy after leaving.———————————————-My son went here for a little under a year. Started in infants which was a good experience. Once we transitioned to the older rooms it became a nightmare.The school will max on the toddlers and have two teachers with more than 13 one year olds. It’s CHAOS! They don’t separate them or provide engaging play. The babies just around And are allowed to hit and bite each other. In this particular room my son was bit 5x by other babies in a span of a week. The staff will often play Ms. Rachel and other shows to occupy children. The director thought it would be better to change his room so we did. Seemed a bit better at first but there was always unexplained bruising and the biting continued. I kept asking the director if they could do planned activities and separate the kids so it’s not so chaotic. She agreed but it didn’t happen. The kids were allowed to beat each other with toys and bite. Often the staff would have backs turned to them and continue to put on shows to watch them.My son came home with a bruise on his bottom which also looked like finder marks on his sides. He’s in diapers and has never had bruising on his bottom before. They said they didn’t know but will try to watch him better.At this point I enrolled him. I took a month off off work to try and break the bad habits this school has taught my son. Such as biting and hitting. He has been doing phenomenal, happier and is talking so much now. The only person at that location who cares is Sarah, she tries so hard to make it great place but I don’t think the main director Rosi cares at all, Never once returned a call. After unenrolling I got my sons belongings and he only had 7 papers from crafts ( for a year!!) , just sad! I’m happy with my decision and feel so bad my son was subjected to this place to begin with.

I am so beyond grateful for all the teachers and staff at Neighborhood Kids Greenbriar who make my daughter feel loved and welcome every day! She’s developed immensely this year and I have her amazing teachers to thank for that.

If you are looking for a place you can trust to care for your infant, this is it. Sarah is truly an angel on earth and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to care for my babies

My 1.5 year old daughter has been enrolled since June 2021 and has truly blossomed in this environment. Since she was born during the pandemic starting daycare was a difficult transition but within two weeks she was excited to be there. The director miss jessica was very communicative and would personally check on her throughout the day. She’s had the best teachers and has learned so much already. I have nothing but great things to say about NK! And I recommend them to all of my neighbors looking for daycare/preschools.

Fantastic staff and education! A place where I can drop my son off and know not only is he learning about God, Bible stories, and character, but he is also receiving a fantastic education in a phenomenal loving and interactive environment. From the moment we walk in each morning to the moment he comes running up to me, all smiles from not only him but also myself knowing he is being loved on in a safe and secure educational environment. Such an awesome experience for his first time in school, and how patient the staff was in the beginning of the school year with jitterbugs. So thankful and blessed with NK staff and curriculum.

My review is based on our VPK experience. This is definitely not a preschool/daycare for everyone. If you want a strong Christian based school then yes, if you want more of a strong academic VPK it is NOT for you.My son learned about the Bible and Christian songs. However he is not well prepared for Kindergarten. So it felt like sending him to Sunday school. I will be paying for a summer program somewhere else to get him ready for school.Some of the staff members are nice and polite, others are indifferent. I don’t like the way they made classrooms in the middle of the school building, there are just dividers with no windows, it doesn’t feel safe. Luckily my son was not on one of those rooms, but if I paid for a daycare I wouldn’t want my child to be on those open spaces.Their Christmas and Graduation programs are long (2hr+). I wished they would have smaller and simpler programs at each campus.They have a nice open backyard with a fun playground.

My twins starting attending this preschool at just 20 months old and they were constantly loved, nurtured and taught by kind and loving teachers. I went around to nearly every preschool in Wellington and cried after visiting some as they were so unsettling to me. When we visited this school, I just felt it was the right place and my instincts were correct. My kids had a wonderful experience here. Now that my twins are 5 & attend elementary school, we still come back and attend summer camp because they love being at this school so much! A wonderful preschool all around!

There are not enough words to describe how blessed I am to have found this daycare for my daughter. It was really hard for me to let go of my 4 month baby to a complete stranger but from the second I arrived the first day, they made me feel like part of their family. The Director Ms. Solana is welcoming and lovely. Ms. Sarah is a GREAT teacher and she really cares for her kids. Ms. Tori is also so caring and kind. Those two are a great team. The school is clean and everyone knows who the parents are. I can't ask for a better place for my daughter to be. Communication is great. I feel like I am not missing any new stages of my daughter. They send pictures during the day. Those pictures always make my day by seeing her smile.
