    Our son loves Burbee. Great teachers and staff. We are so happy to have found a place that cares about our son as much as we care about him.

    Disregard all the reviews that are complaining at the director, she's not working with this academy…read moreanymore. The management that currently is here is wonderful. My daughter is been attending this school for the last half of the year and we are extremely happy. This place hire real teachers, licensed, that have proper education and experience. The teacher that we have is extremely talented and devoted, we love her. She constantly brings new lessons, shares her curriculum and plans. My daughter has eczema and dietary restrictions so I bring my own food. My daughter had never been exposed to anything else they watch it closely and very carefully. The school is clean, fresh and modern, uses secure video cameras so you can always see what's going on with your kid. Kids go outside twice a day and spend a lot of time on the playground. Playground is really nice too, not just to show but a real playground where kids really have what to do. Couldn't be happier!

    TLDR: Do NOT send your child here, especially if they have allergies! Many awful teachers,…read morecomplacent and rude administration. Our experience at Kiddie Academy has been nothing short of a nightmare. My son has allergies, which was not any trouble to manage at our prior facility and is not any issue at his current facility. KA gave him foods he was allergic to on multiple occasions. On at least two of these occasions, Trisha (accurately portrayed in a few of these other negative reviews) tried to mom-shame me for how I handled the incidents instead of focusing on how egregiously they messed up. After the 4th allergen exposure (that I know of, it was confirmed he regularly was given a salad dressing that contained an allergen though), I reported them to the state. They were supposed to come up with a better communication plan from the kitchen to the teachers about what my child couldn't eat. A few weeks later I found out from my son's new teacher that she had "no idea" what he is allergic to, and that the way she finds out he can't have something is from his prior room's teacher yelling across the hall "don't give that to him!" when the kitchen brings something he's not allowed to have. Absolutely terrifying. You might ask why I didn't just send his food myself. Two of his exposures were when I sent his food! I watched his teachers withhold his food, giving him about 5 minutes to eat at the end of lunch, and blatantly ignore his stealing food off the other babies' plates (he was about a year old for this). At one point they gave him a special treat that was brought in by another kid without clearing it with me first. When I raised concerns about their behavior, he came home the next day with feces encrusted on his tiny little rear-end. Not even a dirty diaper, they just intentionally did not wipe him well and left it. On that note, he came home another time with feces up his back and through his onesie, no explanation given. I hope none of his classmates got pink eye from that one. The teachers in his first room were constantly on their phones, never engaging with the babies. I never saw so much as a book being read to them; they were left on their own to play with no interaction from a caring adult. My baby had very dry skin/eczema and I'd sent in lotion to be used when needed. His teacher quite happily told me that they never put it on him unless I specifically call to ask. It's almost like she was overjoyed at her own stupidity. This is a child who's face was often bleeding it was so in need of lotion, but I guess you can't see that when you're on your phone all day. Overall the administration wants to keep parents out of the building as much as possible. They continue cov1d-era policies where you must drop off and pick up at the front entrance unless you have a reason to go back and talk to your child's teacher. As a result, there is absolutely no sense of community (also they briefly lost a child from this policy, as noted in the state incident reports, yet they continue to cling to their process). I've talked to many other parents that don't even know all of their younger child's teachers' names and wouldn't be able to recognize them on the street. Many teachers are blatantly rude and disrespectful to parents when you do talk to them, and the administration's response is "they're a little gruff". What's tolerated is encouraged - if you cared about the interaction between parents and teachers you wouldn't allow your teachers to act like that. It's unfortunate that the majority of the younger rooms are such an abomination because there are some teachers that are GEMS in the older classes. We had a great experience with my oldest son, who was only there a year before entering kindergarten. However it was so strongly outweighed by the horrors of my baby's experience that I could never recommend this place, not even to my worst enemy.

    Our experience with Bridgemill KinderCare and the KinderCare corporate staff was abysmal at best!…read moreThe whole experience was a lot of smoke and mirrors, they would tell you what you wanted to hear but their actions didn't back that up. Example, telling me the hours and standards of care are going to get better and 1 hour later sending a notice to parents that school was canceled until further notice due to staffing shortages. The low customer service level aside, my 2 biggest issues were 1) learning that their staff is allowed to smoke during working hours as long as they're 25ft from the building. I learned of this policy after the director walked past me at 7:30am smelling like an ashtray. 2) my son has a medical condition that requires immediate adult intervention (no formal medical training is required for this intervention). After communicating this issue multiple times to various staff members and filling out a formal medical form to put in his file, we were informed by a KinderCare corporate employee that there was no one on the property that would be able to properly care for my son if he had an episode at that time. Childcare should be a reliable and safe places for our children. Unfortunately, falling short of those basic standards doesn't even begin to describe the standard of care you will receive from this facility.

    We have now been here for a couple months and the service and quality of care is the best. They…read morehave a new director, Danielle, that is mazing and truly cares about our kid.

    We switched our 1.5 year old here from a different daycare that we were at for a year. After a…read morelittle over a month at dogwood, I'm impressed! They exceeded all expectations, and I am realizing what childcare SHOULD be like compared to the old daycare. Dogwood excels in the following areas that I find important: Communication: The staff is prompt to communicate on all platforms, through the app, email, and phone. Food: they send out the weekly meal plan, and it's always healthy and nutritious food that my son loves. He's a 99th percentile guy, and so he eats a lot and is never hungry when I pick him up (unlike our old daycare). He probably eats better than me most days here! Staff: I can't say enough great things about the management and teachers here. From the moment we walk in, there's a smiling face at the front desk available to help with anything we need. The teachers clearly love what they do, my son loves them so much. After a year of challenging drop off and pickups with tears at the old place, it's refreshing that there hasn't been a bad handoff since the 2nd week. He even tried to go back in after picking him up he likes it so much. Facility: it's a beautiful facility and CLEAN!! Ample parking, and well thought out. Photos: I have received photos every day, to me this is important as the old daycare I was lucky to get 1 photo a month. They even put little text with it sometimes. This makes going to work and leaving my son at school a lot easier. To summarize this very long review, Dogwood is excellent and my only regret is not coming here sooner. We do drive 10 minutes further because we feel the level of care our son receives is worth it.

    We have had our oldest son at Dogwood since 2018. We now have both children attending…read more The ownership, director, teachers and staff have always gone above and beyond to ensure our children have the best experience. We appreciate the constant communication when it comes to sickness, staffing and/or procedure changes. -pictures and updates via procare app are very convenient - great teacher to child ratio with floating staff to help each room. -meal plan is fresh ,healthy and unique -curriculum is thought out and planned in advance. One on one activities. -the facility is extremely clean! We would highly recommend !

    I have never felt more compelled to write a detailed review than after my brief but deeply…read moredisappointing experience with this center. My daughter is two and a half. My husband and I were excited to find a nearby program that seemed to align with our values. During our tour on October 24, we met with the center's director, Ashley, and explained how important those values were to our family. I mentioned that I preferred to pack my daughter's lunch, but she assured us that the school accommodates dietary restrictions and provided the official forms for me to complete. I left that meeting feeling confident and reassured. More than a week before my daughter's first day, I submitted the signed paperwork clearly stating: "She is a vegetarian and eats dairy, but no meat, gelatin, or honey." The school had this information well in advance of her start date. On her very first day, November 4, I arrived around 12:30 and saw my daughter sitting alone at a table with a basket of toys, quietly playing in the dark while the other children rested. Her teachers were on the floor attending to the resting students and were not interacting with her. If I had known this was how part-day children were handled, I would have arrived sooner, and I had planned to ask about it before leaving. Before I even had the chance, an administrative assistant who had walked me to the classroom without mentioning any issues when I arrived casually told me that my daughter had been served and had eaten meat at lunch. I was shocked, upset, and left immediately. The assistant explained she did not learn about my daughter's documented dietary restriction until after the meal, though she never clarified who had informed her of it. This made it clear that Director Ashley failed to communicate or post my daughter's restriction in the classroom as required by South Carolina licensing standards. This was not a small mistake but a complete systems failure that should never have occurred. The information was clearly documented, signed, and available. Despite Ashley later calling it a "mistake," this was an avoidable administrative failure and a serious breach of trust. The responsibility lies entirely with Director Ashley, who failed to ensure that staff were informed and that procedures were followed. The required paperwork was submitted eight days before my daughter attended. After I left and returned home, Ashley called from a blocked number three times. When I answered once to say I would not be speaking further, she addressed me by the wrong name and later left a voicemail attempting to minimize the situation by saying footage showed my daughter "only took one bite." That completely missed the point. She should never have been served meat at all. I took every possible step to prevent this, and it still occurred under her direction. Her response showed a lack of accountability and understanding of the seriousness of the situation. In response to my email formally withdrawing my daughter, Ashley wrote that "we have addressed this issue internally with our staff, and we are implementing additional checks to ensure accuracy and prevent this from happening again." This statement offered no transparency or clear explanation for how the incident occurred. As the director who had the required paperwork well in advance, it was her responsibility to ensure my daughter's restriction was communicated and followed. Instead, it read as an attempt to move past the issue rather than take responsibility. As an educator who studied child development and understands childcare licensing requirements, I recognize this as a serious violation rather than a minor oversight. I have retained all documentation to support the accuracy of what I have described and have taken appropriate steps through the proper channels to ensure it is formally reviewed in hopes that no other family experiences this kind of negligence. This experience was deeply upsetting for our family. It was entirely avoidable and made worse by how poorly it was handled afterward. Our family's values and beliefs, which we clearly communicated and trusted would be respected, were disregarded. This was not simply a dietary mistake but a violation of trust and a dismissal of the ethical principles we are raising our daughter to have. This failure of leadership and communication is unacceptable, and families deserve to know. I would not recommend this center to any parent who expects competence, accountability, transparency, and genuine respect for the families they serve, along with adherence to both state and internal childcare policies. TL;DR: Serious failure in communication and leadership. My two-year-old daughter, a documented vegetarian, was served and ate meat on her very first day despite clear, signed paperwork and multiple verbal discussions with the director. The situation was mishandled, minimized, and revealed a complete lack of accountability. I would not recommend this center to anyone

    This amazing secondary home for our children is amazing!! It's not often you find people you can…read moretrust with your children and for that reason alone, I highly recommend Kiddie Academy Fort Mill. My youngest is now here learning, growing, and thriving everyday. My oldest is halfway through Elementary school now and asks to get picked up first so he can say hi to his former teachers at Kiddie Academy. This childcare facility has been at the center of our community activities like the festivals, book events, and family events throughout the year. Something I noticed on the tour and I continue to notice when I walk in the doors is that the children are happy and the teachers are calm and not stressed - this comes from support and authentic leadership from the director, Ashley. We all feel like family here and want to call out a few amazing admin and teachers for their impact on our children: Ms Felicia, Ms Shelby, Ms Elizabeth, Ms Anitra, Ms Epsy, Ms Rachel, Ms Lisa, Ms Whitney, Ms Jessica, Ms Koda...the list goes on and on.
