Top Rated 15 Schools in Covington, LA - A Guide for Parents and Students

Sheila Crockett My daughter takes weekly classes with Ryan Kintz. He has been a wonderful guitar instructor. He gives constructive criticism and compliments her performance as she is learning her chords. My daughter is very peculiar with coaches/instructors and Ryan’s gentle nature with kids makes her feel very comfortable when learning these new skills. Overall, Ryan has been a great instructor and I have recommended him to others.

Melanie Vicari My daughter Aubrey has been taking lessons from Ms. Annabelle Bertucci for years now. Ms. Annabelle has such an incredible way of teaching and is highly skilled at what she does. She is so kind, patient, and makes learning fun. Her compassion for music and teaching really shows! Highly recommend!! ❤️

A M Mr. Ryan Kintz is an awesome guitar teacher, he always creates great lessons based on what my daughter is excited to learn about and from songs that she wants to play. Ms. Annabelle Bertucci is an awesome piano teacher, she always makes sure that my daughter has a good grasp on the material and encourages her to always play her best. Both Mr. Ryan and Ms. Annabelle are wonderful teachers and I am so thankful for all that they do for my children.

Wendy Baker All 4 of my grand daughters attended LRSH from ages 6-8 weeks old. Their kindergarten program is the absolute best. Ms Pam goes above and beyond to keep the best staff. And absolutely love each and every child.

Vivian Turnage So apparently I got fired for a “no call no show” because I came in with my makeup on on a workday to pick up a check… I told dawn the lady over the nursery earlier in the week I needed Friday off for an appointment. Once I was done I came to pick up my check. I told them I would see them and Monday and thanked them. This was around 2pm. At 5:28 pm my sister who works there also texted me and told me Pam said not to come back to work and I was fired for no call no show and she was upset because I didn’t apologize and I had my makeup on. So many things are wrong with this. Neither the owner nor her daughter discussed me being fired with me. The owner only spoke to my sister And told her to let me know. I am grown if you were going to fire me, you can do it yourself. It is very unprofessional to go through family members. On top of it, it seems like a bunch of miscommunication. I had told Dawnn as well as the lead teacher I would need Friday off, so everyone would be aware. I was told this was okay. And then to assume I know called no showed based off my appearance? I’m disgusted I even let my daughter attend a daycare like this after my experience working here as brief as it was. I feel so disrespected and not once will these people still address me? I texted Dawn twice with no response. On top of this I called the daycare 7 times and each time my call was forwarded to voicemail. How am I getting fired for a no call no show over a day I REQUEST OFF and was approved? I feel like all this could be resolved if they would simply speak with me, which they will not. Any other time I have missed work I have always communicated. Every single time. So why assume this one time that I didn’t because I came in wearing a little mascara? Mind you, she made comments about my appearance to my sister. I feel so discriminated against. If I would’ve come in with no makeup and a T-shirt like I work in, maybe this wouldn’t have happened. Maybe then they could magically recall the conversation where I’ve requested off and was approved. I really was discriminated against. I cannot get over the fact they made comments about my appearance, in part of the reason for firing me

Kimberly Ginder Beware!!!! My child was enrolled there 3weeks before the owner kicked him out on at Friday afternoon, leaving me with no way to find a new daycare center by Monday. They called me on Wednesday January 29th to tell me my son (who is speech delayed) has bad behavior issues, but I was never told before that day that my son was bad or had any issues by his 2 little teachers, and no incident reports. They recommended a behavior specialist which I agreed. Thursday no issues were reported to me and he was moved to another classroom in the AM to avoid being in his normal room for evaluations due to his teacher being “stressed.” Friday I get a call from the owner who was extremely rude telling me my son was “harmful” to other children because of a couple issues, which I admit were not good, but not a common everyday occurrence and not out of the ordinary for 2 year olds. Owner claims she did everything she could to fix his “behavior” issues and then began to make a comment aimed at me as a parent as if I just let my son do whatever. When I went to pick him up that evening and was told it was his last day, the assistant director refused to speak to me and was extremely rude and just kept saying the owner called and talked to you. Instead of speaking to me she called the owner who lied and said she told me on the phone he was not allowed back after Friday which she did not! Or I would of been able to find new childcare or atleast try! The owner also tried to pit my sons speech therapist that goes to visit him against us. My son has never had behavior issues outside typical toddler behavior, they just didn’t want to take the time to deal with my son who is speech delayed and may get frustrated a little faster than normal kids. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this daycare center.

Lauren King All three of our children have attended Primary Colors for daycare and preschool. Our kids loved going to school each day and enjoyed learning and playing! Our kids came out of this program reading and we’re more than prepared for kindergarten. It made transitions into big school easy and gave each of our kids the confidence and a love for school! Our kids have always felt safe and well cared for. For example, there were several occasions back when Ms. Wanda ran the infant room she would catch an ear infection in my babies before I noticed! My kids were always loved on and I felt good about them going to school. I’m grateful that there has always been open and honest communication. All of the teachers have been friendly and helpful. It is obvious that the number one concern is the love, care, and needs of each student which although at times can be hard to hear for a parent, is only for the best interest of the child/student. I highly recommend this program as we have had a wonderful experience!

Meghan S First time mom, and I was so scared to send my 12 month son at the time to any kind of center or daycare. But let me say, this was the BEST decision for him. He has so much fun, they are so transparent with everything that goes on, the teachers are amazing, and it’s a no screen facility. He loves going there. We love it.

Ryan Reynolds Been going here over three years and everyone is always professional, hardworking, and happy. My daughter loves it!

carey gagnard Don’t bring your kid here under any circumstances. A friend of mines little boy was wondering around hwy 21 in Covington for 20+ minutes before daycare workers showed up looking for him. This is completely unacceptable, no child should ever be able to leave the daycare facility without staff knowing. This is terrible. Thank god the child was found by a local mom and watched until daycare people showed up 20 minutes later. Police were not called by the daycare prior to finding the child. The woman who found him called the police. So sad. Please do not enroll your child here.

K B Im absolutely appalled by the lack of supervision and care demonstrated at this daycare. A two-year-old was somehow able to wander out the front door and was found walking on a busy street! Even more concerning, the staff showed no accountability for this terrifying incident. No childs safety should ever be compromised to this extent. I cannot recommend this facility to anyone. Safety first, always.

Janell Campsen Don’t send your child things aren’t the way they seem

Jennifer Hoover Covington I loved having my kid at My Little Sprout. It’s the cleanest daycare. My child never caught strep nor the flu or any other viruses while attending here. The director is so caring for all the students, she is so trustworthy.

S P My little baby loves this place and makes so many friends

Brandon Rogers DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE! This place used to be amazing years ago but in the last year the quality of teachers and administrators have drastically gone diminished. The people running this school don’t have any expertise around early childhood education and caused me to believe something was wrong with my child from a behavioral perspective. The “experienced” admins suggested I pull my child and place her in a 1:1 environment due to her “issues”. I did pull my child about 6 months ago and placed them in a school the same size and she has EXCELLED. Not only has she learned more in 6 months at her new school than she ever did at My Little Sprout, the new school absolutely adores my kids. In addition, the new school outlined that some of behaviors of the old school teachers which caused anxiety for my child. For example My Little Sprout taught her to “stomp” on the floor when she was frustrated which was a bad habit to teach as it teaches aggression. The new school used actual early childhood education methodology to teach my child healthy emotions. Do yourself a favor and check the credentials of those running the school and ensure they have actual expertise with kids. This place doesn’t have it at all and doesn’t want to actually deal with kids at all. My child no longer has anxiety going to school that this place caused her to have!

Nicole Hoag Great place that has an evening AA meeting on Sundays!

Perry Williams Incredible, dedicated, & loving administrators & teachers.

Mary Beilman, DDS Amazing my grandson goes here He loves it He cries when he can’t go to school!

Cameron Chappetta Today was my first time having to get my work permit in Covington, the ladies were very nice. I will always prefer to go there over the Slidell Annex any day. Thank you to the Ladies that helped me today!

Jennifer Oakley Busch Easy peasy... in and out Everyone was pleasant and helpful

Kimberely Brouillette Hands-down the BEST! All 3 of my children attended LMMP, and they got the absolute best start in their educational journey! As an educator myself, I cannot speak highly enough of this school. If you are looking for a loving, nurturing, Christian-based learning environment that educates the whole child, look no further! My children are now 15, 13, and 11, and they are all thriving both academically and socially. With our 3, we spent 7 consecutive years at LMMP, and we were so blessed to be loved and nurtured by this amazing little school!

Heather Grimm There arent enough wonderful words to say about this sweet little Montessori school. We feel SO beyond lucky to have been able to send two of our kids here and truly nothing else will EVER compare! Miss Rachel is an earth angel and cares deeply about every single child that walks through the doors. Everything about this school is perfect! From the organized work stations to the cozy but minimal aesthetic, to the fun activities and laid back mentality... its everything I could dream of for my child. Thank you thank you thank you for changing our lives. ♥️

Angela Paul Weve been with them since they opened and they are truly wonderful! Communication is a dream. The teachers and staff love the littles like their own. Their curriculum is fantastic! I loved all the opportunities for parents and grandparents to participate in activities. Despite having a curriculum in place, they also took time to tend to my childs specific needs. Were so sad to leave for big kid school but ever so thankful for everything theyve done to help our kiddo grow into an amazing little dude.

Angel Demonica Brittni at the front desk made communicating with the academy a nightmare. The infant classroom also had an ever changing staff of teens that seemed lost, though very sweet. Clean location. Lots of technology that might help communication. Our child was an easy, average baby but staff was inattentive and broke bags of breast milk. Good luck if you have requests or concerns about the care of your child though. No parent meeting was ever given to us as promised.

Benji Browjn Excellent preschool with caring and hard working teachers. Best preschool on the New Orleans northshore

Laura Link My nephew cant wait to go to school every day! The teachers. Are for your children like they are their own.

Kaitlyn S We have been with little oak for a year now and have no complaints. Our kids love them and we trust that our babies are well taken care of. It feels like a family.

Jeffrey Bodin Great renovations. Exceptional quality of design and delivery on part of everyone involved. As an alumni who directly preceded these changes. It is an extremely welcome sight. To see a great building have further life for its next 100 years. Building a stronger foundation for its quality education.
