Used to be good but they are HORRIBLE now, its a free for all for the kids, my son came home several times with bruises and scratches nobody knew how it happened because they do not pay attention. They don't use positive re-enforcement they just yell at the kids. STAY AWAY! read more

I regret that after giving them ample time to make things right, DTA has failed to do so. I am now entirely convinced that their priority is not the children. So it is my duty to put the truth out, in hopes that what happened to my daughter never happens to another child. 1) If you are looking for a safe and educational environment for your child, you will not find it here. Especially for your daughters. 2) No matter what, if you decide to put your child in this establishment, NEVER pay more than one week in advance. Issue #1 My 8yr old daughter was molested on the playground by one of the boys there. She was wearing a skirt, so thank goodness she was wearing leggings! But damage was still done. After I addressed it with DTA, they informed me that they spoke with the boy's parents and that it would not happen again. The following week, that same boy corned my daughter, alongside another boy and proceeded to get in her face and bully her on the same playground. Realizing there was little to no supervision at DTA, I made an executive decision to take matters into my own hands and pull her out of there, since no one else was competent enough to protect her in my absence. I was one of the few that paid in advance ($250) and with three full weeks remaining, I requested the refund of the remaining three weeks. Not only did DTA refuse to refund me, "due to their policy of a two week notice requirement", but the director made light of the situation and got rude with me over the phone, as well as in person. I was utterly shocked at the director's lack of empathy, lack of concern and her horrible attitude and tone. I could not believe it. To make matters worse, the owner refused to speak with me after I sent her a certified letter almost three months ago. My daughter is in the gifted class at her school and has always been a consecutive Straight-A student. UNTIL this incident happened. She has since been seeing a counselor regarding the molestation that occurred at DTA and her grades are finally beginning to normalize.  Issue #2  Education is not a priority at DTA. For the few weeks that my daughter was enrolled here, every night, she would come home with unfinished homework. This never happened prior or after her enrollment in DTA. On a couple of occasions, she told me that staff there made her and another girl stop doing homework "because they were talking" (while helping each other out on the lesson). DTA denied this. On another occasion, they were doing homework by the front door, which is a high-traffic area. The children obviously could not focus. DTA denied this, as well. Please protect your children from this place. DTA will not be there to do it for you. Many of the children look sad and bored. Supervision and concern for them seems to be non-existent here! Spend a few extra dollars on a quality establishment and it will pay for itself, as time goes on. read more

DTA is an amazing place, all The teachers up there actually care about the kids and love what they do. My son loves all the teachers up there as do I. They take the time out to actually teach the kids what they need to be taught and do lots of fun things with the other kids! My son will continue to go there for after school care. I could not imagine putting him anywhere else! I personally have grown a bound with the girls up there that they feel like family and I can trust them completely! read more

Both my children have attended DTA for several years now. My oldest started attending when he was 2 years old and my youngest was just 1 when she started. They are both in elementary school and attend the after school program. Both of my children attended VPK through the center and both learned a lot and do well with school now. We have had a few typical problems with other kids at the school but the ladies who work in the center were always quick to let me know of the days events, if anything had happened. Overall we have had a pleasant experience with DTA and my children enjoy their time there. read more

I have to say after having my oldest son at another center for 4 years and my youngest at another center until his 1st birthday that I'm SO very HAPPY that I switched them to DTA Academy! The teachers are very informative on what is going on with my kids and they treat them like family! I'm so happy that my boys get to go to a center that does what's best for the children in their care. The director is so understanding and will give you all the help she can when you need it. My kids LOVE Miss Alex and Miss Ashley! You guys are AMAZING!! read more

I have not had an issue with DTA Academy for the pass 5 years that my girls have been in their care. My girls love the staff and the academy. Every time I have a concern they are able to help me with it. My girls know how to defend themselves and let me know when anything goes wrong. By the time my girls have a chance to tell me what happened in school that day the staff will communicate with me first. I have no complains, or worries for my children's safety with DTA. read more
