Ladybird Academy of Independence

We LOVE Ladybird. For context, I’m an elementary school teacher with a background in special education and a masters in curriculum studies. I’ve taught kindergarten for seven years, so I was very thorough when picking an early learning environment for my child—I went in to each daycare tour with pages of questions and a full on clipboard, extra as can be. I heard about Ladybird from one of my own colleagues, which is always promising. The director Ms. Karin answered all of our questions on our tour and was so patient guiding us through the registration process. She and Ms. Brittany were also very helpful when we had to delay my daughter’s start date due to a family situation out of state. My daughter has been at Ladybird for about three months now. Her teachers Ms. Jackie, Ms. Lorie, and Ms. Zaria are so kind and loving. They communicate throughout the day with us, post photos, and even work with our family goals in the classroom (like when my daughter moved on from her pacifier). We love that Ladybird has camera access, which has allowed me to see that not only are in they compliance with state teacher:student ratios, they are typically going above and beyond. All of the walls are glass and see through, so there’s really no angle where there isn’t visibility. They’ve also been super accommodating with my daughter’s speech therapist providing sessions at the school. But the biggest thing I love is how happy my daughter is there. I know she is in good hands because of how she interacts with her teachers. When I pick her up each day, she blows them kisses goodbye and even signs “I love you” to them. A toddler can’t lie—how she interacts with her teachers speaks volumes. Professionally, I’m impressed with Ladybird, and as a mom, I’m immensely grateful. I know that in word and deed they care for my daughter and for our family.

After a bad experience at another local daycare, I found Ladybird. All 3 of my kids have attended Ladybird and all 3 have had a great experience! Karin and her staff have been there for me and my kids during a time of loss and the staff truly loves and cares for my kids...I am so thankful for that.

I love Ladybird as well as my kid & along with 2 family friends we have referred. Can’t put a price on that! Great teachers and directors. Anytime my kid needs something he is taken care of. I just simply ask one of the team members respectfully & they are very accommodating. I see a bad review about the kid getting sick… what do you expect when your kid is at a daycare lol. Under a certain age.. they are filthy little animals no matter how much you bath them lol. Get over it.. it’s a amazing school & directors. My kid will be attending this school as long we can. Thank you for being a great school for our little one!

We started our little one in daycare a bit later at 1.5yrs, but the caretakers at Ladybird handled her growing pains perfectly. Just a few months in and our little loves going to daycare now. They make communication a breeze and provide consistent updates on their daily activities. We know our little is taken care of, safe and secure.

My two boys attend ladybird academy and have since they opened in 2019. The school is very clean and the security is top notch! My kids are greeted every morning by name by every teacher in the building. We especially love Ms. Noemy, she makes school so much fun for my oldest son. The director Ms. Karin is very good with addressing any issues right away and has an open door policy for all parents. If you’re looking for a school that has a family feel then Ladybird Academy is THE school to go to!
