    My daughter has been attending here since 14months. She has grown with the teachers and they have…read morebeen very welcoming to our family. Originally she was still on breast milk when we started we had no issues with milk being distributed they follow the standards and go above and beyond for quality control still to this day when it comes to food or medicine. All lunches are refrigerated and heated up daily per standards. One of my favorite things is the standard they hold the teachers to and don't mess around when it comes to safety they will report themselves for something other schools tend to overlook. A few teachers have changed classes to be a better fit for the curriculum. In the evenings teachers are sometimes used in other classes to cover and make sure the student to teacher ratio is still good. Our daughter had been with them almost 3yrs and the the knowledge she comes home with is amazing since this is a STEAM program school. We have looked at other schools (to see what else is out there) One other nice thing they have is a machine called halo I think and it's a sanitizer that's also used in nicu units of hospitals. This past cold and flu season was a breeze I feel a lot of it attributed to this machine and the diligence of the staff on making the kids wash lots

    For the most part, we've had positive experiences with many of the staff and teachers at Oakcrest…read more There are some wonderful individuals who truly care for the kids, and I want to acknowledge that upfront. That said, this review is not directed at them--it's directed at the organization, leadership, and ownership behind Oakcrest. We've had two children enrolled here since 2022 and have paid over $83,000 in tuition--never missing a single payment. We've supported the school, told other families about it, and truly tried to be good members of the community. Recently, our youngest was accepted into a new program, and we gave 35 days' notice that he wouldn't be returning. Unfortunately, I missed the "re-enrollment deadline" by 12 days and was hit with a $200 re-enrollment fee. I take full responsibility for missing the cutoff. But what shocked me was the complete lack of empathy or understanding from leadership. No flexibility. No conversation. Just a cold response quoting a handbook. I wasn't asking for special treatment--I was asking for basic human decency after years of loyalty. To make it worse, the communication around this policy was minimal. We received only one reminder in March--no follow-ups, no texts, no push notifications through the app. And yet, they'll call or message multiple times if your child has a mild illness. So it's not a tech limitation--it's a priority issue. Oakcrest brands itself as a "preparatory academy," but at the end of the day--it's a corporate daycare with a polished image. They're quick to run book drives and food drives (which families support), but when it comes to truly valuing long-term families--they've made it clear where their priorities lie. If you're a family comparing child care options, I'd encourage you to look deeper than the branding. Our experience has been a harsh reminder that no matter how much time, money, or trust you invest--you're still just a number on a spreadsheet to them. Disappointed doesn't even begin to cover it.

    TCCA has been such an amazing place to provide care for our daughter. Everything is run so…read moreprofessionally and the level of care and education is second to none! I can't help but think how much value this place adds to our lives when helping balance work and family! Thanks for all you do!

    We were very fortunate to have our son attend Smart Kids Fort Mill from about 4 months until he was…read more16 months old. If you don't already know, turning your newborn over to another adult is the ultimate definition of trust. The level of care, warmth, communication and support from the teachers, Bobby Exizian and Pat Greene (Directors) were something we will forever be grateful for. Walking in each day with my son became a joy as he loved the staff and his teachers. Top of the line childcare like Smartkids is hard to find and I can't overstate how much it is worth to know your child is such a great hands.

    When my child first started attending in 2023, this center was still operating as Smart Kids, and…read moreour experience was excellent. The teachers were caring, communication was strong, and the leadership team was responsive whenever concerns arose. Unfortunately, after the transition to Learning Jungle, our experience changed significantly. Over time, we experienced frequent turnover among teachers, directors, and assistant directors. In one of my child's classroom alone, there were nearly ten teacher changes during our time there. The lack of consistency made it difficult for children and parents alike, and communication became increasingly inconsistent. My child has documented food allergies, and there were multiple occasions when she was given food she was allergic to despite having an emergency action plan on file and it was not always followed. This was very concerning as a parent. The event that ultimately led us to leave occurred when my child reported being hurt at school by a teacher. I contacted DSS, and both DSS and Learning Jungle later confirmed that video footage showed two staff members physically mishandling my child. While that was upsetting on its own, I was equally disappointed by the response from leadership. My concerns were raised not only with the center director but also with regional and corporate leadership. I did not feel my questions were adequately addressed, and I left those conversations without confidence that my concerns were being taken seriously. There are still some caring teachers at this center, and I appreciate those who positively impacted my child's life. However, based on our experience with staff turnover, leadership instability, allergy-related concerns, and the handling of a serious safety issue, I cannot recommend this facility. I encourage parents to review publicly available reports and conduct their own research before enrolling their child.

The teachers are attentive, patient, and truly care about each child's growth and happiness. Every day my little one comes home excited to share what they learned, whether it's a new song, craft, or fun activity. The staff communicates so well and keeps me updated, which gives me so much peace of mind. The facility is always clean, welcoming, and set up with engaging activities that spark curiosity. I love that they focus on both learning and play--it's the perfect balance. Seeing my child thrive, make friends, and look forward to going each morning is the best feeling. I'm so grateful we found this daycare and would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a place that feels like a second home for their little one.

The staff is warm, professional and they genuinely care about the children. The classrooms are bright, organized, and full of meaningful learning experiences, not just playtime/free for all. You can tell the teachers love what they do and that the children are happy and thriving. We left other tours feeling uncertain, but after visiting Primrose, we knew right away it would be the best choice. We are extremely happy with our finally decision of Primrose.
