Bullying at this school has become an issue and not addressed. Each child is seen as profit so…read moretherefore if one child is bullying they will allow the child to stay and persist in bullying rather than remove the bully from the school. Being a private school you expect more, because each child is so profitable from the monthly income they bring into the school, they will keep a bully vs removing them. Both of my children were bullied, the principal would tell me it will be talked about every time I came for help to protect my child. The bullying continued, so bad my children had to be forced to go to school to not get behind as they felt they endured mental abuse. The rate at which students are leaving this school for another school is high. The principal allows the best students to leave by not addressing the problem students. Every student causing problems can stay and persist in problems rather than being removed permanently as the parents talk in groups about how everyone pulls from the school because the principal is allowing the problem students to maintain bullying. My son now has to be removed from the school because he is crying himself to sleep. the child harassing him has been allowed to do so the entire year no change only empty promises. If your child is harassed, you'll be forced to leave because the harasser will never be asked to leave. Shameful

I took a tour here to try and find a closer school for my two girls 3 and 5. The school…read moreachievements are very impressive and they seem to have a good combo of discipline and scholarly achievements. The only reason I didn't went ahead and register my girls was that it felt a bit too rigid for me and I didn't think it'll fit my kids coming from a Montessorri background. Who knows, maybe down the road

My kids have been enrolled here for 2 years now. It's amazing to see the growth they've had - I…read moredirectly correlate it to the care and education they are receiving here all day every day. Love the curriculum! Age appropriate and fun, vetted material that is thematic and engaging for each of my kids- including my infant. My son was more than ready for kindergarten and my daughter is tracking the same in the prek room!!! The teachers are very thoughtful, well-trained and my kids love them. It's clear they're valued, safe and nurtured here. Plus the place is clean and well lit. I don't take lightly leaving my kids with anyone and after some bad experiences at another daycare we are delighted to have found Kiddie Academy as a second family for these critical years. Also the director, Ms. Sasha and assistant director, Ms. Maci are both on top of things! I think they know every kid's name and favorite things and they always listen and act on any questions we bring up. My kids run to hug them in the lobby. It's nice to have such a responsive, friendly staff and over the years they've been consistent, supportive and helpful. Last, the value for the tuition is worth it- no hidden fees and early communication for changes when moving classes. Meals are included and well balanced! Programming includes enrichment activities like the book mobile, sports introduction and STEM education stuff. Really cool to see the different events they host too and the ways the owners give back to us families with genuine care and respect. Good people, money well spent, and the best daycare we've ever gone to! Thank you Kiddie Academy for all you do!

The staff and caregivers truly care about the wellbeing and development of the children. They are warm, attentive and take a genuine interest in the growth and development of my little man. My little dude looks forward to coming here every day, and is greeted by the warmest, happiest staff. Knowing our child is in such capable, loving hands gives us complete peace of mind. The level of attention that Kiddie Academy provides is well worth the value! The level of attention, structure, communication, and genuine care our child receives far exceeds what we expected for the cost. It truly feels like an investment in our child's development rather than just childcare. Thank you, Kiddie Academy, for putting this anxious mama heart at ease!!

Initially, my wife wanted to enroll our three year old son in a Montessori preschool. In some ways,…read moreThe Goddard School is the opposite of Montessori: where Montessori stresses free, unstructured, child-led activities, Goddard stresses organized, structured, teacher-led activities. For our son, who is naturally independent and creative, the structure Goddard provides, rather than stifling his independence and creativity, helps him channel it in new, more social and collaborative ways. Sometimes this is difficult for him. But we think it's challenging him to develop skills that a Montessori-type approach might not provide. Plus, the teachers are incredibly well-qualified, the facility is new, clean, beautiful, and very well-managed, and the security and health precautions are advanced and well-applied. The Goddard School and its proprietary curriculum may not be well-suited to fit every child's needs and all familys' budgets, but we feel it's well-suited to our child's needs and well-worth the added expense over some of its competitors. Also, it's good to know that TGS is a franchise, so each individual facility will only be as good as its owner-operator. And the owner-operator at this facility, himself a father, is kind, respectful, organized, efficient, dedicated, detail-oriented, professional, and an excellent manager of both property and personnel. We highly recommend this school to anyone who feels that their child would benefit from this kind of learning environment.

My family loves The Goddard School. The facility is clean safe. The staff has always been very…read moreprofessional. My son loves all the teachers and you can tell they genuinely care about him. They have a focus on early learning and my son really enjoyed the STEM based lessons. I have no complaints and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

After looking at other child care centers for my 19 month old, I was completely won over by…read moreNature's Child Care. THIS is what I envision when I think of a quality center. I love that they have a controlled entry system at the front door and cameras watching every area. Inside, the classrooms are large, bright, clean, and decked out with quality, developmentally appropriate furnishings and playthings. The outside areas are well-equipped and fenced. The employees are very friendly and made my son feel at ease immediately. The tuition is (what I believe to be) a bargain for such quality. I also appreciate that it is a peanut-free zone, since my son may have an allergy. A nice extra - they offer optional activities (with fees) such as soccer, dance, and music. I am thrilled to have found this place!

Nature's Childcare staff and the entire business made me feel very comfortable with going back to work. There is video monitoring in each room (not viewable from my work computer, which I actually prefer) so if there is an event, it can be reviewed. The center is secure and entire staff is well trained. The management are VERY aware of what is going on in each room and the communication between staff and parent is excellent. Each room has 'Teachers' and they actually teach, which I am always impressed with. I now have three children in Nature's Childcare and wouldn't dare go anywhere else for childcare. I wish every day care center was as impressive as this one! I can honestly say that I would not be back to work if it weren't for Nature's Childcare. Thank you! Thank you!

Our children absolutely love this school and feel very comfortable there. From the moment we walk in, the environment feels warm, calm, and intentionally cared for. The classrooms are spotless, thoughtfully designed, and organized in a way that feels nurturing rather than chaotic. Cleanliness here is clearly a priority, and it shows every single day. This quality is at the top of my list of must haves for a place for my children! What truly sets Primrose apart, though, is the staff. The teachers are engaged, attentive, and genuinely loving. Our children are greeted by name, embraced with kindness, and supported emotionally as well as academically.They both come home happy, confident, and excited to tell us about what they learned and did that day. That alone speaks volumes. The curriculum has been age-appropriate, structured, and meaningful. We regularly see projects, activities, and evidence of learning come home. More importantly, we see growth--in social skills, independence, curiosity, and joy. This is not a place where children are discouraged from being kids; it's a place where they're guided, supported, and encouraged to thrive, be curious and inquisitive. Every child and family is different, and I fully respect that experiences can vary. But for us, Primrose has been nothing but a positive, loving, and enriching environment. If you're looking for a preschool that prioritizes safety, cleanliness, emotional care, and thoughtful learning, this school has been an excellent fit for our family. We're grateful to be part of this community and would confidently recommend it to other parents.

Most importantly, our child feels safe, happy, and excited to go each day and it shows in the daily pictures we receive and her big smiles when she sees Miss Abby.

Amber the director was so kind and thoroughly answered all questions/concerns we had. The facility is clean, warm, and very secure. Our daughter just loves going to school every day! Since being enrolled here she has learned so many new things including a bit of sign language! Miss Kaylee is such a great transition twos teacher. She is always communicating with us patents on what the kids are doing during the day and even sends pictures through the app! Not only does she care for them on a child care level, but she teaches them a new subject every month and always has art projects for them to do that correspond with the theme. My husband and i are completely at ease every day that we drop her off into their care. And the home cooked breakfast & lunch & snacks are always healthy as well!
