Amazing academic preschool opportunity for parents and children. The staff of teachers and assistants are truly interested in fostering the best in their students. I always felt so good dropping off my boys there...it felt like an extended family. Thank you Darling Tribes!

I highly recommend Darling Tribes. They provide excellent instruction and quality care to the children. I am pleased with the continuity of the staff and the attention that my child receives. It is a well rounded program for kids. My son is thriving there. If you are considering a preschool for your child, please go visit them.

My best decision this year was to remove my children from Darling Tribes. My childs improvement is astonishing. She was not talking, sad and withdrawn. Every day upon pick up, I had to hear about her rough day and that she was not sitting still and doing all their handouts. She is 2! Since moving her, she is talking, happy and free spirited. I also dont have to hear about how much of a burden she is. Guess what??? I paid you, its your job. If I ever did that to my customers, I wouldnt have a job. Do not take young kids here, they have no idea how to engage with kids. I had a developmental therapist go into the facility as well, she confirmed that my 2 yr old was not being well looked after and encouraged to learn. Its a fine place for older, school aged kids but they have lost their enthusiasm for playing and nurturing young children.

We absolutely love Darling Tribes. Excellent education for kids starting at age 2. The curriculum is very interactive and effective. We are so pleased with our childs progress! This school is highly recommended.

My son went there for several years before he went to kindergarten and I find it very hard to believe the allegations made by Melanie Meaestas. First of all your claiming that darling tribes made your child display anti social behavior? My son benefited significantly from being here and helped him transition into kindergarten. 2nd the children are supposed to be potty trained before they start attending the pre school. 3rd you said that your children just walked out of the building. I find that very hard to believe considering there is a button you have to press to leave the building that is out of the reach of children. I assure you that the children are in a safe environment. My son went there for several years and we never had any problems. There is structure there and I feel like my son learned a lot while he was there. He was reading before kindergarten. The teachers there are kind to the kids and my son loves them especially Ms Julia.

I have a hard time rating this school and hope that this helps you decide.My son attended this school for about 5.5 months. He was 3 years old at the time. It was his first experience in school and kids in a classroom setting.I had a tour and of course I asked as many questions as I could think of and soon after I enrolled him.I had asked if they would asses him and help him with his reading. They said they would and that theyd help him keep up the work I had done.I asked them if they could help with his lunch (which I sent everyday he attended) they said they absolutely would. (I dont do the sandwich thing). I sent a meal.At first he loved it. The academics part is really good. He would do writing, coloring, arts and crafts, learned to write his name very quickly. I was very pleased. They assessed him within the month and would bring a book to read at home and words to learn. He would read in class.He then started to cry before going in and he would say that the kids were mean and would hurt him. I asked staff and they said he liked to play with the 5-6 years old kids and they were rough so I asked him to tell the teacher if anybody would be mean to him and asked the teachers to please watch him and his playmates behavior. It was true older kids would be mean and they would get time out and things improved. For a while he was happy and I could tell that the staff was paying more attention. Then things got bad again. He would have scratches and red booboos on his face hands. Hed say that kids would punch him in face or head.He would tell me the kids names but I would say please tell the teacher. At this point hed say the teacher wouldnt do anything. One day he had blood from a scratch on his hand and he told me as we were walking to the car and I got so upset I went back in and asked the teacher to see what Daniel had done to him and she said that nothing had happened and that there wasnt a Daniel in his class and kept saying to my son: that did not happen during school time. I saw the principal the next day and told her what was happening. On the table there was a list of the students names on my son class and Daniels name was in it.After this my son would cry every day the whole ride to school because he did not want to go. I did not want him to have a bad experience, after all he wasnt even starting real school. I took him out after this.I have to say that I liked the academics part and kids did learn.They help him with writing and reading. And brought home all kinds of crafts.I liked the snacks menu. My son loved them. I only had to take lunch and they were helpful with that. If it had to be warmed up they did.They provided everything and it was helpful because for parents who work and dont have time for anything after work it was a relief not having to worry about it but just your kid.

I have my children in this school its been 2 months and I am taking them out. My child has never had antisocial behaviors and at this daycare care he presented this type of behavior. The reason being is because their is absolutely no structure in showing children how to regulate their emotions and staff do not and will never have the patience to work with a child. Bad experiences 1 st if your child is potty training they will not assist the child with cleaning, therefore, the child will have rashes and dry poop. 2nd they are not in a safe environment my children walked out of the daycare unattended. 3rd they will not provide safety in the front door not all the time is staff by the front and children can easily leave the building as for example my children that did so my 3 year old and 2 year old . 4th I volunteered there as a parent but never got a back ground check? 5th I have my masters in Child Development and know how children should interact with teachers after volunteering I made some observation one the staff/volunteers will not pay attention to your child maybe after 5 minutes and the children are getting negative attention from staff no redirection is intended and children are free to do what ever they wish in a non structured environment. I hope staff and Darling take this comment as feedback and realize they need to retrain and restructure their ways and most importantly if you do not have patience with children stop working with children.

They are the kindest staffing around and they will tend to, comfort and hug your young ones if they get hurt. They will change them if they get soiled. They are super kind and understanding to your situation. They are NOT about the money at all here. These are people people. Excellent customer service! Im surprised there arent more reviews on here actually! #WOW They are mostly elderly ladies there with years upon years of experience and patience with the children. The younger staff are sweet, kind and let me stay in all day doing my taxes once. I watched them operate an entire day and they are EXCELLENT! They will send homework hone with your kids and teach your todler how to read. Were getting ready to move to ABQ and we wiill MISS the staff there. This is comming from someone who doesnt BELIEVE in daycares. Strong belief mothers should be at home with their kids. And when I get my real estate license and gain enough experience in the business to be successful I will be able to work from home one day. This is THE BEST KEPT SECRET DAYCARE in Rio Rancho, so go ahead and go down into Corrales. You wont regret it!

My son was at Darling Tribes for just under 1 year. During that time I witness many disturbing and unprofessional actions from the Director of Darling Tribes. Many complaints of violations were submitted to CYFD, the regulatory agency for Daycares and Preschools. Please contact them for more information regarding those violations.

Very bad school my nephew was in here for a couple of weeks and had a bad experience.
