User Reviews for Whizz Kids Academy-Lake Forest

I started taking my son to Whizz Kids after he had been bitten 10 times at Kids N Us in Lynnwood(whole other story, would not recommend them to my worst enemy). My son was so much happier at Whizz Kids. Abida is amazing with the children, they absolutely love her. They have an engaging cirriculum and keep the kids active. They have one of the best menus I have seen at the 3 different daycares I have used. Fresh healthy creative meals. I think turnover happens at any establishment at one time or another. The one thing that has stayed the same since we have been there is Janet ,the director. She has been a constant and seems to have a good eye for staff members. My son has had positive relationships with all his teachers there.

How couldn't I love this place? The staff is great and caring (my son is in love with Abida, and I am too) and knows a lot about kids. I leave my son and go to work feeling totally certain that my son will have fun and learn tons of things. I visited many daycares before deciding for Whizz Kids and I did not regret one minute. It's the best one by far.

Well, I too was very thrown off by the first review. I do however understand that not all schools are for all kids. This school is the best fot for my son, by far. We tried "regular" pre school and the teacher assaulted my son the first week. Then we went the Montessori route and the laundry list of rules that went along with "freedom of choice" was too much for my son. Whizz kids is just the perfect fit. The friendliest staff I have dealt with. Enormous rooms with playful staff and tons of toys.(And a newly planted play yard). Has a great cultural flair as well. I love the fact that there is a cook who makes them lunch too. And cost wise, the cheapest place we have attended. Very highly recommended. I really sense that individuality and the spirit of a child are valued here.

Wow I was surprised and disappointed to read last rating for Whizz Kids. I found their staff to be wonderful and caring. My child loved to go to day care everyday and he wasn't like that in other facilities that he attended in the past. He learned how to read and write all of his letters and numbers at Whizz Kids. I couldn't have been more happy and I am a hard one to please!!!
Pros: Large play area for kids, they are well cared for
Cons: high staff turnover but always high quality caregivers

Sadly, the quality of care has dramatically dropped at this agency. In the last year there has been a nearly 90% turn over rate in staff. Most of the current staff spend more time talking to each other than the children. The rooms are not well organized and the learning supplies old. Not worth the high price tag, others in the area are less expensive and better.
