Oh how I wish I could give this place NEGATIVE stars!…read more My daughter started attending this place when she was less than a year old (August 2022). I had a friend whose daughter was in the Kindergarten class and had nice things to say about it. My husband and I toured it and I didn't get warm fuzzies right away from the director, Connie, but we moved forward with the enrollment process because we needed child care asap. Right away we did tell the director that our daughter has multiple severe food allergies and we filled out all the appropriate paperwork and provided her benadryl and epi-pen right away. FIRST INCIDENT: Not even two months after enrollment, we picked up my daughter on a Friday and after an hour being home she started breaking out in hives everywhere. She didn't have anything to eat at home. My husband had to give her the epi-pen. Right away, I sent an email to the director and let her know what happened. Connie let us know that her normal teachers weren't in the class that day, it could have been possible that someone gave her something she wasn't supposed to have. Of course by Monday the people we talked to couldn't remember if she ate something. The learning moment from that was that a teacher would sit by her at every meal/snack. My daughter was in the older infant class and we liked her teachers in there, never had problems. It wasn't until the summer of this year problems started happening. She moved into the younger toddler class, her teachers in there were also nice and loving to the students. This summer the owner decided to sell their Castle Montessori to Cadence Education. The director, Connie, left and the admin left not long after her. The new director, Ms. Nilima, was not approachable and very cold in those first weeks, maybe up to a month. She never made eye contact when my daughter and I entered the building. How could you not acknowledge who enters the building, especially at a child care facility?! During the summer we enrolled my Kindergartener here for their summer program. WORST program ever! We paid weekly tuition that was supposed to include weekly field trips, which some were cancelled due to the weather but nothing was every rescheduled. It was a waste of money. The final straw was when my daughter had ANOTHER allergic reaction!!! They claimed that she woke up in hives, ok, the director called us multiple times (I work in an area where I can't have my phone with me), she didn't leave my husband and I voicemails. My husband called back and the person on the phone just asked if they can give my daughter benadryl and of course he said yes. He decided to go to the school and they did NOTHING. She was covered in hives, she should have been given her epi-pen based on the emergency plan we provided. Ms. Nilima wasn't around, and my daughter was in her classroom, with her teachers putting her eczema lotion on her. She should have at least been at the front office being monitored for anaphylaxis. Multiple emails were exchanged after this incident. The director's responses were just appalling, with no empathy, and thinking she knows better than what a doctor says to do in an emergency. We pulled her out immediately, there was NO WAY we could trust this place every again. We had a meeting with the director a few days after the incident, she finally apologized and took full responsibility. She mentioned her staff will go through more training, but the damage was done. We demanded our full deposit back and never looked back. What really got me fired up was when I asked the director if they were going to self report themself to the state regarding this incident. Her response was no because an ambulance or ER visit didn't occur....WTF?!?!? Herself and the staff was clearly not capable of handling the situation.....or reading an emergency plan and FOLLOWING it. Honestly, I hope every parent reads this and stays far, far, away! This incident happened end of August this year and still makes my blood boil.

My daughter has joined Castle McKinney 6 months ago.. she is with Ms Sowmya from then. Ms Sowmya is…read morean amazing teacher for the kids, she is always attentive and accommodative. She makes sure our kid is well behaved and expresses her feelings. I can see lot of improvements in my daughter both personally and academically. Ms Sowmya is always reachable in person and Kayambu App. My daughter is excited to go to school and enjoys being with her friends and teachers. We had a wonderful birthday party for my daughter at her classroom. The directors and teachers in the school are very friendly, flexible and welcoming. We enjoyed lot of celebration's happened at school... Will definitely recommend this school to everyone!

My niece attends this school in the 4-year-old classroom. Recently, she came home complaining that…read moreher arm was hurting and stated that Ms. Sandy took her into the bathroom and pinched her under the arm. The incident was reported to the director, but the only action taken appears to have been filing a report and moving her to another classroom. At four years old, my niece is fully capable of communicating what happened to her, and the physical marks supported her statement. Despite this, the teacher is still employed at the school. We were also informed that the cameras are only monitored live and do not record footage, which raises serious concerns regarding accountability and student safety. As a parent or family member, this situation is extremely disturbing. I would not recommend this daycare based on how this matter was handled. I believe incidents involving allegations of physical harm toward a child should be taken far more seriously and investigated thoroughly. I intend to follow up with the appropriate state agencies to request a formal inspection and review of this facility. No child should ever feel unsafe in a learning environment, and no teacher accused of inappropriate physical conduct should remain in the classroom without a proper investigation.

She started off in toddler where her teacher Ms. Nunu worked we us to get her potty trained! All of the teacher are great and loving ! I can't say enough good things about this daycare. From the very first day, the staff made my children feel welcomed, safe, and cared for. They treat the kids like family, and it shows in how happy and excited my little ones are to go every morning. The teachers are patient, loving, and truly dedicated to helping the kids learn and grow. I've noticed so much progress in my children's social skills, confidence, and learning since they started here. The communication with parents is excellent, and I always feel reassured knowing my kids are in great hands. I'm so grateful to have found a daycare that provides not only care, but also a nurturing environment where my kids can thrive. Highly recommend!

KAP is a great place for kids to learn, play, and thrive. My two kids have been at KAP since they…read morewere 2yrs old; and they are now 7 and 5. After my oldest went to Kindergarten, he still enjoys going to KAP in the summer for camp; where they have weekly themes/topics and field trips (movie theater, arcade, splash parks, etc).. all included in the weekly tuition. The owner, directors, and teachers are all amazing. You can tell they are passionate about what they do. The owner does a great job with day to day operations, she's very "hands on" and and involved. I love how they routinely have free events for the community. Games, activities, and food! The curriculum is amazing. A lot of childcare centers advertise having a curriculum, but they really don't. I can truly say that KAP has a curriculum and kids are actually learning! They also emphasize character essentials; focusing on different character traits monthly. My son started reading before graduating the Pre-K class, at 4yrs old. Safety has never been a concern. I appreciate the thorough reports through Tadpoles and receiving pictures throughout the day. If I ever did have a concern, it was addressed immediately. They do call to let you know of any accidents or incidents; and they have a process for documenting it for record keeping. 10/10 all around!

After being on the waitlist for nearly a year, I can confidently say the wait for Kiddie Academy of…read moreProsper was absolutely worth it -- and it's easy to see why there's such a long waitlist to begin with. From the moment you step through the doors, it's clear this is a place built on care, structure, and genuine love for children. We have one daughter enrolled in the preschool and our kindergartner in the aftercare program. The entire staff is incredible -- caring, attentive, and always engaged, even if your child isn't in their classroom. The leadership team is equally impressive: professional, approachable, and really involved in the day-to-day experience of every family. The facility itself is clean, safe, and thoughtfully organized. Every part of the day is structured to balance learning, play, and creativity, keeping kids engaged and happy from start to finish. Meals are provided and even include vegetarian options, which is such a thoughtful touch. We also love how Kiddie Academy goes above and beyond with weekend family events like "Reading with Clifford" and their annual Fall Festival -- they truly make families feel like part of a community. The celebration of diversity and different cultures from around the world is another standout feature that we deeply appreciate. If you're looking for a place that feels like a home away from home -- one where your children are loved, nurtured, and inspired every day -- look no further. Kiddie Academy of Prosper sets the bar for quality childcare. 10/10 recommend!

The teachers and staff are incredibly loving, caring, and attentive, and they have truly made her feel special and cared for. She originally attended Stonebridge for daycare, and when it came time for Pre-K, we knew we wanted to keep her there. After receiving an education scholarship from TEFA, choosing Stonebridge for her Pre-K year was an easy decision. We actually live about 30 minutes away, but the drive is completely worth it because of the care, attention, and love Alexandria receives every day. As a grandparent, having a place where you genuinely feel that your grandchild is safe, happy, and loved means everything. We are so thankful for the teachers and staff at Stonebridge Academy and would absolutely recommend them to other families!

From the moment we walked back through those doors, it felt like coming home. The staff is caring, attentive, and truly passionate about what they do. They go above and beyond to make sure every child feels safe, loved, and encouraged to grow. Kameron is always excited to go in the morning, and it's clear he's thriving--socially, emotionally, and academically. It means so much to our family to have a place we trust completely, especially one that has now supported two generations of our children. Thank you, Children's Courtyard, for continuing to be a place filled with love, learning, and care. We love you Just have to take a moment to shout out one of the BEST parts of Kameron's day -- his amazing teacher, Ms. Nye! From the very beginning, Kameron connected with her in such a special way. Every day he comes home with stories about what Ms. Nye taught him, how she made him laugh, or how she helped him try something new. It's clear she brings so much love, patience, and joy into her classroom -- and it doesn't go unnoticed. As a parent (and grandparent!), there's no better feeling than knowing your child is in good hands. Thank you, Ms. Nye, for making Kameron feel safe, seen, and so excited to learn. We appreciate you more than words can say! ‍ #Grateful #BestTeacherEver #KameronLovesHisTeacher #ChildrensCourtyard #ThankYouMsNye

All of the teachers, staff, and the owner are amazing and so sweet with the kids. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone looking for a more structured and safe environment for their kiddos. Of course, when you have children, you tour or attend other schools or daycare centers, but The Prep is unmatched. I may be biased, but I don't feel right paying the amount of tuition (especially in today's economy tuition is high everywhere) if my child is just contained to one room and a playground. The Prep has a curriculum that I believe mimics McKinney ISD, along with a gym, a tech room, their assigned classroom, a splash pad, a playground, and more (They also constantly have parties and themed days/ random activities throughout the week). I know for a fact that my child is happy and comes home smiling every day. Thank you, Prep School of McKinney!
