My son attended this daycare for about a year. A daycare in 2023 with no cameras or apps for communication is a red flag I won’t ever overlook again. At least twice my son had small marks on him and when I asked, where was the incident report or what happened, I was told it was left on top of the cabinet or the teacher left early & I would have to find out tomorrow..Now the teachers never gave me bad vibes, and I can tell they were good to my son, but the owner Harry is the reason we left.My son had a tantrum at am drop off to the point he vomited- he wasn’t ill it was just typical 2 year old behavior bc he couldn’t take his book in class. His teacher understood & let him in class, but an hr later Harry emails me to come pick him up bc of their policy. I arrived at 1p to get him but he was sleep for a nap & BOTH teachers told me to let him nap & come back later bc they didn’t want to wake him up.When I returned, Harry made an entire scene in the lobby by yelling at me bc I did not come “soon enough”. He insisted none of the teachers told me to leave & let him sleep, & that if it happened again my son would not be allowed to attend daycare. He then proceeded to try & discuss my sons immunization records needing to be updated as if this was an appropriate time to discuss. He was so condescending & irate that all the teachers timidly left the lobby & didn’t want to say anything. I was in tears defending myself bc of what his teachers instructed me to do! He was so irate his wife had to PHYSICALLY push him into his office while he insisted on arguing with me With my son in my arms.Everything about his actions were extremely unprofessional & disrespectful. He could’ve ran the cameras to verify anything before attacking & calling me a liar as if I was one of his students or employees. This just shows he is hot headed & liable to lose his cool even in front of children. No way I’m patronizing a business owned by anyone with this type of character. Especially when I never pay late & my child doesn’t cause any issues! Attend at your own risk

We were here for only a year with our 2 babies, and the staff was great. Very communicative, caring and trusting. Thank you all. Please continue to thrive. Peace and blessings.

The Mountain Park Academy teachers and owners show compassion for the students and communicate well with us as parents. Our children have grown academically and socially here over the last 2 years. We have had a great experience and encourage anyone else in the Mountain Park area to consider this school.

MPA has been amazing for my daughter. She is always so happy when she walks in, she's learned so much being there such as her animals and colors more. I have really seen growth within her and it's amazing! Thank you MPA for all that you do!!

I thought this center represented itself well with the warm welcome I received from the Directors. Unfortunately, that’s where I was totally wrong! My granddaughter went there for a month… the lack of communication was the first red flag. After I seen a teacher (Ms.Mazi) hit a child during nap, I was sure that this place was not a good safe place for kids. She admitted to hitting him by saying “that’s what I have to do to get him to take a nap”… I was so upset! I reported it to the Mr. Patel, as he brushed it off. Since that day, all the red flags appeared. They transferred my granddaughter to another class for a whole week without telling us. They always said she was having a good day until my granddaughter would tell us about her day and once we ask them, then they would be around for the truth to come out… I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! When you leave your child, you don’t know what’s going on. I wish I knew the parent of that child… I do know it was a little boy.

I cannot recommend Mountain Park Academy highly enough! My 18 months old daughter has been attending this daycare for several months now, and I am continually impressed by the level of care and attention that she receives.The staff at Mountain Park Academy are some of the most caring and nurturing individuals I have ever met. They truly go above and beyond to create a warm, welcoming environment where children can learn, play, and grow. I feel completely confident leaving my daughter in their care each day, knowing that she is in the best possible hands.The facilities at Mountain Park are top-notch, with a wide range of age-appropriate toys, games, and activities available for the children to enjoy. My daughter always comes home happy and exhausted from a day filled with fun and learning.Overall, I cannot recommend Mountain Park Academy highly enough. If you are looking for a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for your child, this is the place to be. Thank you to Harry & the wonderful staff at Mountain Park for everything you do!

I am happy to say that our experience at Mountain Park Academy was extraordinary! We brought our newborn son last year and they treated him so kindly. Although he is no longer matriculating there, I commend the staff for their attention and love for my child. I will also say, I saw the owners Harry and Sunita on a daily basis and their professionalism and passion for the children were exceptional. I recommend this school very highly!

Both of my children have attended Mountain Park Academy and have enjoyed the experience. However, my almost 8-year-old feels she's, "too old for daycare now." My now 2- and 1/2-year-old has been at Mountain Park Academy and Learning Center since she was 8 weeks old. Mountain Park has proven to be a safe, clean, and mentally healthy environment. They have shown a dependability, even throughout COVID in keeping the children safe. They also provide a daily progress report for my child. It keeps me informed of what she is learning and what she may need for the following week i.e., pull-ups, etc. Side note: It provides an added joy that my child references the staff, specifically Ms. Meaza, as she is heading out of the house for daycare. I’m excited, that she’s excited to start her day there! I could not recommend them enough!

This is only my second review on Google ever. We've been going to MPA for several years and from the moment I first stepped inside, I knew it was going to be a wonderful, educational environment. I love the (extremely diverse) and always friendly staff, love that there are many diverse families that send their children there, and really appreciative of the professionalism of the owners who we've now known for some time. We have recommended MPA to friends who also have their child attend and seem very satisfied. Well deserving of five stars.

This facility is a great independently owned place. My child attended for a little over a year during pandemic lockdown and after. The daycare is a great, safe, affordable, inclusive place with a curriculum that challenged and encouraged my child to learn and enjoy learning even at four years old. While I think there could be some improvements to processes and paperwork, overall I would recommend to anyone looking for a full-day program for their child.

Mr and Mrs. Patel run a professional and clean childcare center. They value your child’s education and care about them as a whole. I am grateful my son had a wonderful start to his education.

Our toddler daughter attended mountain park Academy from July 2020 to April 2021. During the last 4 months of her stay things became tense. Our daughter would come home crying most days and also started asking for “time out” while at home whenever we tried to redirect her from a behavior. For the amount of money you are paying to send your child here, we expected a kind, respectful environment but that is not what we experienced.Every report sent home had nothing but positives to say about our daughter. At pick up, we would often discuss the naps because she has mostly dropped her nap. Sometimes she would sleep and other times she wouldn’t so we knew to put her to bed earlier that night. I followed their schedule on weekends and put her in her room for “nap time” at the same time as daycare but it was really her just playing quietly in her room, reading books in bed or singing. It was suggested that we find a food that would make her sleepy (guess what, there isn’t one).Once we received a note saying that our daughter had a “hard time listening” when I asked for clarification I was berated by Harry, with pantomiming of how my kid had a tantrum the day before. I asked to take her home so that she would not cause a problem that day. Harry brought out my daughter along with everything in her cubby, I clarified I was not unenrolling her, just taking her for the day. Extremely unprofessional behavior.Later that week we had a parent teacher conference and we come to find out that our daughter was not napping (we were not surprised by this) but that she was disrupting the other kids in the room, crying loudly and waking the others up by running around the room. We were never informed about the other behaviors but were somehow expected to fix it. We asked for accommodations , can she go to another room, read books, color at a table and they were completely inflexible stating that is when their teachers need to take their breaks, clean and fill out the progress reports.We decided to look for a different daycare in the area and found a more suitable, caring group of folks that genuinely enjoy having our daughter. In the last 4 weeks we have not had any report of bad behaviors and we ask daily if there is anything going on. Our new daycare has flexibility around nap times and seems to be better equipped to accommodate a wide range of children and their individual behaviorsI would like to note that the owners response does not address the lying that they do. Daily reports home that do not reflect reality are of no use to anyone. Person reading this, notice the blame shifting. Is that something you really want to pay for? Notice how they accept no fault, notice how they do not apologize for their behavior and communication. I urge you to consider other day care locations.

Mr. and Mrs. Patel are very helpful. All of their staffs are very professional and good with kids. We've been taking our baby here since she was 10 months (she is 3 now). The baby come home and talk about school all the time. She get sad on the weekend because she misses her teachers and friends. That show us right there that she's in the right academy. Things that she learned here we couldn't have tought her better ourselves. If we didnt have to move she'll be going here for Pre K. Thankyou again you guys for the great experience at Mountain Park Academy.

We have been taking our daughter to Mountain Park Academy since she was about 9 months old and she absolutely loves it there! Everyone at Mountain Park has been very accommodating and made our family feel right at home. Our daughter loves her teachers so much and we are always shocked by all of the new things she does when she is home that she learned at daycare. We highly recommend Mountain Park Academy!
