Poko Loko Early Learning Center

My daughter started at Poko Loke a little over a year ago and we have been pleased ever since. The transition for my daughter when she moved to Poko Loko was seamless thanks to the teachers in the toddler classroom. And now that she is in the 2 year old room she is having so much fun and we cannot believe how much she learns every day. The teachers provide us with great updates so we always feel like we know about her day. In addition, they also have fun activities and extra events going on for our dauther to participate in. And a great outisde playground! Poko Loko provides a great learning environment and a fun, energetic and playful place for our dauther to be every day.

Poko Loko has been a wonderful addition to our family. They are a warm and welcoming school that has made Johnny feel at home since he started over two years ago. I have recommended Poko Loko to many friends and they all have been happy with their experiences here. Johnny loves to show me his work when I pick him up. At last month's parent / teacher conference I was so happy to see how much he has progressed. Overall, my husband and I couldn't be happier!

My son started at this place about 7 and a half month old. Just after 2 weeks, I have already actively looking for a different place.



I caught the infant's room did not have A/C on (or very very high temperature setting) a few times in just short 2 weeks. One time about 8:30 AM, one of the teacher in the room is sweating crazy, and room is definitely very warm and humid. It felts very very uncomfortable. Every time when I asked the teachers, they often said they are about to tell the front to turn on the A/C. I was very surprised that they did not have A/C on to regulate the temperature. I think the place must cheap to try to save some money for A/C, while still charging big bucks.



I'm also not satisfied the place do not take infants outdoor at all. Summer is short, sometimes the temperature outside is comfortable enough for kids to go out. Apparently they do not have the "setting" (meaning not enough teacher or know how to handle) to handle a little bit outdoor time.



Found them didn't get to give my baby a morning nap at all. When I asked, they mentioned it was too busy and they never get to it. My baby is very tired every day when I picked him up. I have requested a after breakfast nap is a must.



I understand no daycare is perfect which I never expect a place to help me raise a super-baby, but this place is charging on high end, but didn't provide some basic things to help raise a happy baby.
