Our children have attended Leaf Spring since they were infants. As we approach the time they will be "graduating," we look back on our time there with a lot of appreciation for how they helped mold our children. Their facility is clean, orderly, and top notch. The little extra things they do to help families (an onsite chef and nurse) are not little at all, but extremely impactful and helpful to us as parents. They have instilled in our kids a love for learning from the time they were barely old enough to talk. There has always been clear communication from the staff and owner. I appreciate how seriously they take the responsibility of caring for and educating our boys. They do not step on the parents toes in anyway, but they seek to come along side families to see the children become successful. Our sincerest appreciation and thanks to Justin Davis and his GREAT staff.

Worst experience ever. Let me start by saying, the individuals who teach the classes there seem nice. Never had a problem with any of them personally.However, my real issue with them is how they handled my son. My son was a little behind on communication skills (we moved here from Korea when he was 2), and basically they did not want to provide services to him anymore, and demanded I pick him from daycare. Now I completely understand not wanting to provide services, that's their choice, but not giving any heads up or warning to me, was extremely detrimental to my work. Imagine an employed individual, suddenly having to leave work, and not being able to take their child to daycare for 2 weeks...Now the thing that really encouraged me to write this review, was how they promised to refund me for the week of service they never provided, but never refunded me. Every week, an ACH takes out money from your checking account for the week of service to your child. They kicked my son out on the day they did the ACH transaction (Tuesday I believe), so they took an extra 3.5 days of payment for services they never provided. They also took $150 for the 'fall fee', which he got about 1-2 weeks of benefits of (I won't really go into that though).While I was meeting their staff on the day they kicked him out, the lady who runs the ACH literally said "whoops, I ran the ACH this morning!". However, they assured me that this would be refunded, so I didn't really think much of it. Two weeks later, I got a check for the initial deposit, but no refund for the week of services they didn't provide. So I went to the school, waited 30 minutes to talk to the lady who runs the ACH (her office is behind the counter, I won't name names). She assured me once again, "you will be made whole", and she was going to ask the director "if" she could do the refund.. They already told me they were going to refund me for the services they never provided... but here we are months later, and I haven't heard from them.My advice to management: Be more professional when it comes to promised services/payments. Do not promise to provide a refund for services never provided, if you never had an intention of doing it in the first place. Give warnings and be clear on what you want from parents so we have time to prepare.

This is the best school out there!! I highly recommend it for those who love structure / discipline for their kids. I will always be grateful for giving us an opportunity to join their family. The Hernandez family

I enrolled my 2 year old twin daughters at LeafSpring and I can't say enough great things about this facility. I had them in other daycares/care previously, and in hindsight, those don't come close to what LeafSpring offers. The teachers and administration are wonderful with the parents and most importantly the kids. My twins adored their enthusiastic, engaged teacher and the wonderful activities. It was nice to see pictures and videos of them during the day through the app they use to keep the parent(s) updated (including meals, snacks, what they were learning that day, potty/diaper changes, etc). I was grateful for that constant communication. Some other positives was their classroom was always clean, a Chef was on staff to prepare the food, and the curriculum was amazing (even for the 2 year olds). They learned so much in a short time and were always tired (in a good way) when they came home from school due to the fun activities and outside time that kept them busy. The only reason my daughters are no longer enrolled at LeafSpring is because our family moved across the state. If it weren't for that, we wouldn't have left. I highly recommend LeafSpring and have nothing negative to share! Amazing place.

This post may seem to be long but hope our own experience will give you some help on understanding how GREAT this place is and how sad it can be if you do not know about it :) We moved into our new home very near the daycare when I was pregnant with our oldest son. We had many other choices around this Geist area but hey after a tour both me and my husband were so sure that sending our son to Leafspring at Geist was no brainer! We are still so happy that we made the right decision and we have seen soooooo many fantastic growth at our oldest son daily! He wakes up in the morning and says mommy and daddy I love school so much!! This place is also welcoming culture differences and they help kids develop their best selves! Without a blink we now have our youngest son at Leafspring too!! He has also grown so so much in just less than a month!! Highly recommended to you with our loving hearts to kids!- Huizi

I would not recommend sending your child here especially if they have any type of food allergy. The school uses an app called tadpoles to update parents all day with their child’s daily activities, what/how much they are, potty times, nap times, etc… the app is not updated accurately and false information is put in at “bulk” for every child. The first week my child was there in the app It stated they served him chocolate pudding (he is allergic to dairy) and they stated “we update the app in bulk then go back and edit throughout the day but he wasn’t actually given the pudding” even though in the app It showed he ate “most of” the pudding. So they only offered him crackers and water as a snack that day which does not seem nutritious at all. The second week in the app It stated they served him chocolate cookies for the first snack and goldfish crackers for the second snack. When my husband went to pick him up I called to make sure he did not actually eat them. They went to check the package on the cookies to make sure they did not contain dairy (which should have been done prior to giving them to him) and then stated he didn’t actually eat the goldfish. Even though in the app It said he had ate all of both. No parent should have to worry about their child being giving an allergen whether accident or not it’s negligence. And if you aren’t even taking the time to ensure you are not offering something that could severely harm a child what else are you not taking the time to do throughout the day. The teachers seem a little overwhelmed with their duties throughout the day. I get the app is a lot to keep up with on top of caring for kids but if it’s not able to be done… then why do you offer the service to begin with ? Especially if everything you put into It is completely inaccurate.

We LOVE LeafSpring. The curriculum is solid and engaging; it's great to feel like my son is learning something everyday - not just being babysat. They do Spanish every week, as well as yoga and STEM. Having nurses on staff is great, and all of the nurses are wonderful. They know all the kids by name (and that's a lot of kids), and you can tell they really care about them. Chef Chris is awesome, and plans a variety of nutritious meals for the kids. They're great at keeping parents in the loop on what's going on during the day. We get several pictures a day as well as a updates on diapers, eating, naps, etc. He loves going to school, and absolutely loves his teachers (who his dad and I also love, I can't say enough about how much I love his teachers). The staff is wonderful and friendly. They're quick to address concerns or questions.. We love everything about this daycare/school.

Couldn't be happier with our decision to send our infant to "school" at LeafSpring. They have the most caring teachers and staff and a fabulous curriculum - yes, even for infants! Having nurses on staff is also a great comfort to a first time mom!

They really care about helping parents educate their children and offer a wide array of service. The owners are very involved and take the safety of the children seriously.

Rainbow Station has been the answer to a longstanding prayer! The staff is invested in the academic and emotional success of the children served there. Our 4 year old LOVES his teacher, the facility, and the chef! Blue B is the happening place to be - awesome activities, cool classmates, and a teacher that must be a superhero. Drop off is a breeze with all of the toys in Station Square and the care of two phenomenal gals who make 6:40 drop off fun. I cannot say enough positive things about this location, the owners, and our experience. We’ve been there for 4 glorious months and highly recommend it!

I can't say enough good things about our experience at Rainbow Station/LeafSpring. Our daughter attended summer camp (Blue Sky) for the first time this year and we continue to be impressed with the program, facility, faculty, and counselors. They literally go on a field trip every day, sometimes more than one. And, not just to a park, they've been to movies, Indians games, Children's Museum, the Zoo, Ninja Zone, Sky Zone. They have Kona Ice every Friday, and when they are in house, they're doing fun things like water activities, foam parties, etc. They have a Chef on staff...a chef! She eats better than we do. They have an onsite Wellness Center, which is awesome. They go to Goldfish swim lessons once a week which was included in the tuition. No extra fees for field trips...it's all baked into the price. Lunch and snacks are provided. They even clean the water bottles and field trip shirts. The list goes on and on. I HIGHLY recommend Rainbow Station/LeafSpring!!!

The greatest preschool!!! My daughter absolutely loves it. She pushes me out the door lol! Also, they have nurses and a world class chef. I’m jealous I can’t eat lunch there.
