They made us feel like family and helped relieve the worry of first time parents when our little one wasn’t with us. Would recommend this place and all of its teachers in a heartbeat. Only reason why we left was because of the distance from our work/home, and getting into a daycare closer to that allowing for an extra hour to our family time at home. We will truly miss this facility.

Racism is very Real (not only how you would expect) on friday June 5th, I was headed to work. Every morning I drop my boys off (two separate locations). I headed to Logans (my 2 year old) daycare. as I pull in, I parked next to a small bus on my right and an open spot to my left. As I opened my door to get out, a black Nissan Altima drove up the lot and I paused to see if it would be parking in the empty spot to the left of my vehicle. it did not. so I proceeded to open the rear drivers side door to let my 2 year old out. as I did so I noticed crumbs on the seat so both boys piled out while I was leaning in to the car to brush off the crumbs from my news cars seats. when I finally turned around.. the same Nissan had backed up and started to pull into the open spot (where my boys were now standing) I had a slight panic attack (not noticable) but since I didnt see if she meant to scare the kids or not.. i let it go and walked my little one to the door. they checked his temperature and I told him I loved him and turned to head back to the car. at the same time. the driver of the nissan got out and was walking toward the door also. as she walked closer she gave me the nastiest look and so I gave her the "dont mess with my kids" look. she continued to stare me down all the way to my car. as I opened my door she was still giving me that nasty glare so right before I sat down in the car, i said "whatever you think you want to say right now...dont!" and I sat down in the car and closed the door. she continued to glare at me with those nasty hate filled eyes. so as I put the car in reverse and started to back up, I shot her the middle finger (which I will admit I instantly regret) and then drove off. i pick up my son from the same daycare later that night and go for groceries. when we get home, we (my wife and i) find a note in his bag. saying "it has been a privilege to have Logan there but unfortunately, due to the events from earlier in the morning, that would be unenrolling him from care there". they continued saying "Brennan, the unwarranted actions you made toward and AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN will not be tolerated" and that the woman from earlier no longer felt safe with me having my son there. I immediately called the daycare BLOWN AWAY AT THE ACCUSATIONS. the day care was closed so I left a voice message where I explained who I was, my sons name, and proceeded to give the details of the mornings events as they had unfolded and told her "how dare you make an accusation like that without even asking my side of the story" I then ended the call requesting a call back to discuss this further. the weekend came and went and monday (today) arrived. I had to call out from work because no one is able to watch my son now since my wife has just recently started school. so I took landon to his camp, my wife to school and spent the day with my little man expecting a call any time. the call didnt come. i picked up my wife at about 1pm and on the way home, she called and asked what had happened to make Logan no longer able to go. the owner of the day care said "the lady had no idea what the issue was. she didnt rush him to get the boys out of the car or anything and then as she walked up he was giving her dirty looks and as he walked past her he said to her "shut your mouth N WORD" and she just had no idea why he would say that" (this is what the other lady said about me, that I told her shut your mouth N WORD) I immediately got on the phone with the owner and told her exactly what happened and I absolutely unequivocally denied ever using that language (it is sickening to even be accused of it) I told her everything I did even including the part where I gave her the middle finger which I regretted. (I didnt want my son in this daycare any longer with how, without even seeking the truth, I was labeled as a racist and my son was kicked out of this place, however I needed time to find some other place for my 2 year old son to go so I could get back to work and find him a be

Very disappointed with this establishment. As I am aware that this is a business. When you leave your children you want them to be cared for and not worry about them especially if they are in the young learning years. As I stated this word day care is business. When my babies went there I wished they would have empathy instead of rehearsed excuses. Cameras used. Excuses why you can't wAtch them. Not good. Hope you have better experience than us.

If I could give this daycare zero I would. I am waiting months after taking my child out before writing a review because I wanted to make sure I wasn’t over reacting. But now having him in a new daycare, I can see the difference it makes! It sucks we had to go through such a horrible experience to find another daycare that is so amazing! My child went to lpbw for about 6 weeks. First let’s start off by saying my niece went there when it first opened and aside from one incident we thought they were wonderful, definitely not the case five years later. It started at registration, when I was told in June, we would be in in September. I called in October and I was told no December, then when I called in November, a week before I was to start back work, I was told March. Luckily I had someone to watch him. He started in September and we had problems from the beginning. He got bit the first time on his third day...(I said okay I know this happens, wasn’t angry). I would watch the cameras there were rarely, I mean rarely 2 people in the room for 10 children. Most of the time it was one teacher( the only one we even remotely liked, I felt she did try). I ended up keeping my cameras up ALL DAY AT work because he was bitten two more times by the end of the second week. Not to mention there was a span of 10 min during open play where there were 10 one year olds left completely alone in the room. One child was on top of my child. I called the owner the first time and she said she would take care of it. It was better for about a week. He was still getting bit. They were always “short staffed.” One little girl (who I’m pretty sure is related to the owner, who I saw bite 6 times in two days, and bit my son 2 times at once not to mention 7/9 times he was bit in 6weeks!!! there were times he would be in a highchair for extended amounts of time, one time for 2.5 hours. I was told this was for him to “cope” to the environment. There were numerous other times there would be 8-10 min spans there would be no teachers in the room. I called the owner the 2 & 3 time about the biting, she said it was because they were one-two year olds and you can’t reprimand them. When I asked about her biting policy she said no more than 3 times in eight months. But the child who bites and the child that gets bitten gets a “boo boo” report sent home. My child who is normally very outgoing would play by himself because he was terrified. He screamed and cried when he was dropped off and just never acted himself. The last week he was there he was bit two more times by the same girl on Wednesday, and then on Friday when it happened I went up to talk to the owner in person because when I went to look at the camera to see, i ironically didn’t have access. Mind you my second time taking off work early to deal with this. She refused to come talk to me, I told her by phone I was taking him out and she pretty much lied and said it wasn’t the same kid (however it really didn’t matter who it was at this point. There is no reason a child should be bitten this much in six weeks or at all!). She then stated that, “it wasn’t the same little girl, and that she hates for an eight year relationship to end like this.” Apparently not because she didn’t care about my child being bit or hit or being left alone. Not to mention, I know exactly who it was who bit him! She then had the audacity to tell me she “requires a two week notice of taking your child out so I would have to pay.” Umm NO! And once I called about another child being hurt while no one was in the room. Another time a teacher was on her cell phone and was using her feet to keep a child away from my son. This whole experience was absolutely heartbreaking for me and my family. I knew the owner for eight years and forced this daycare on my husband, I am not one to write bad reviews or have confrontations, but My baby was miserable. The good reviews on here are older clients, the owners husband and a teacher’s husband and the a teacher there. I see now what a great daycare is, and I highly recommend not choosing this on

I wrote a review on Facebook a few months ago. LPBWA has shut down the review section of their Facebook page. There were multiple negative reviews after mine and I’m sure that’s why. I sent my infant about 6 times before removing him. He was frequently placed in a swing for up to 6 hours a day and often not even picked up to be fed. He would cry every time he was put down, I’m sure due to not knowing when he would be picked up again. After only going a few times he ended up with a flat spot on the back of his head. I was told this is normal when I brought it to their attention, it’s not. I was told there were always two staff members in the infant room even during lunch breaks. I left the cameras up all day while at work. This is not true. The only time there were ever two people in with ten babies was when a parent showed up or durIng a staff change. On his last day he was placed in a chair on the ground with four other children. He was about twelve weeks old. One child stood in front of him and was hitting him, another next to the chair trying to climb on him and one behind the chair bouncing it. The only staff member had her back turned and was changing a diaper. This went on for quite a while and while watching on the cameras my husband drove to pick him up. He Never went back. When he mentioned it to the owner she said the were understaffed because people were out sick. The days he went spanned about a month. If staff is sick they should have subs and not take new babies until the rooms can be monitored safely. The people who had good experiences at this place seemed to have them years ago and more recent reviews I read before it was shut down were negative. My child will never go back.

I will say from first hand experience the post Grace made was the kind of experience we had...my granddaughter went there for 5 years from 2010 until 2015..they were awesome ..couldnt have found a better daycare... Sept 2017 my daughter took our 1 yr old grandson there...first week was great...had the video where you could check on him ...he got bit the second..ok this is 1 yr olds this is going to happen...3rd week he got bit 2 more times...my daughter talked to owner...said she would take care of it...to make a long story short...by the end of the 6th week he had been bitten 9 times an that biter was still in the daycare an the classroom...7 out of the 9 times he was bit..it was by the same kid..an she was also biting an attacking other babies...we have it on video...2 times he got bit it wasn't reported but I witnessed it myself on video...the last time he got bit , the owner stopped access to the playback on the video so we couldn't see it...my daughter had told her from the first time that she knew who it was because she sat up that night an went back an watched the video from that day...i am not just a scorned an angry grandparent writing this review..i am hurt that we trusted this daycare an my daughter paid these people to take care of her child...not to get mauled like an animal....these kids (I have witnessed) have been left alone in the room on several occasions but on 1 occasion when they were left alone for 10 mins an one child was on top of my grandson my daughter, while at work, had to call the daycare to get someone in the classroom to get the kid off him....i had to call the daycare one day to tell them a kid had pulled her pants down to her ankles while in the crib ..pulled her diaper off an was struggling to stand up in her crib ...i was afraid she was going to crack her head on crib rails...i was not only concerned about our grandson but the other babies as well...When he got bit for the 9th an last time...my daughter took him out of this daycare an the owner had the nerve to say her policy is a two week notice....i was floored...of course the whole conversation was over the phone because she wasn't at the daycare an she didn't have the decency an respect to come talk to my daughter face to face....i don't care if your errand day is on Fridays when you have concerned an upset parent you talk to them face to face...Parents..you have to decide for yourself an have your own experiences an opinions...this was our experience..first experience in 2010...excellent...2017 it was horrible...

My son started there five weeks ago. The first week or so was good, then he started to get bit. The first time he got bit, we knew kids will be kids and it will happen. Then he got bit again. We called the owner and she said she was going to look into it. Then he got bit two more times in one day!! My wife went there and talked to the owner, she said again she going to look into it. This time said she did not have a bitting policy. She just said kids will bite. Well my son got bit four more times in a week and a half!!!! This point it is totally unacceptable. We pulled him out and called the owner to meet and talk. She didn't even have the decency to come to the daycare and talk face to face. We had to talk to her on her cell phone. Turns out one kid in class bit him 5 out of the 8 times and the kid bit other kids as well. Never got kicked out. Very poorly ran place and I do not recommend to anyone to take their kids there.

Clean facility with loving owner and staff. I will not take my kids anywhere else!!!! When I didnt feel safe with one of the employees taking care of my child the owner and staff members went above and beyond to make sure I felt completely comfortable. Grace G. Who also goes by Grace H., Grace Human or Clintisha Is a former employee and the individual who's trying to hurt LPBWA business by putting out false accusations and reviews. Please avoid reading her reviews and check out LPBWA yourself.

This daycare does not deserve to have academy in its name. They rarely did anything academic to help my son prepare for Kindergarten. Now he is struggling in 5K with writing his name and letter recognition that his teacher did not practice with him last year. They would rather have the kids dance to YouTube videos or watch Disney movies until nap time and then play outside afterwards. Where is the academics???

I had my infant daughter enrolled there and pulled her out after a short time. The staff was rude and insisted you had them there by a certain time and if you didn't, they had to have a doctor's note. Their reasoning was because they have teachers ready to go home (even though you pay a flat amount). I constantly found my infant on the hard floor in front of the door so anyone could hit her with the door of they weren't paying attention. Horrible place with horrible management!!!
