I can't say enough good things about Christ the Cornerstone Academy. From the very first day I…read moretoured the school, Ms. Tammy was so welcoming and immediately made me feel at home -- I knew right away this was a special place. My daughter started in the 2-year-old classroom with Ms. Susan, and the experience was beyond anything I expected. Within her first week, she had potty trained herself -- something I still can't quite believe. I had braced myself for the horror stories I'd heard from friends and family, and instead Ms. Susan made it effortless. As a parent, I was apprehensive about leaving my child in someone else's care, but from day one I felt completely comfortable and confident that she was well taken care of. Every single teacher at CTCA exceeded our expectations. Each one brought their own unique strengths to the classroom, and our kids were genuinely loved and had good morals instilled in them along the way. I especially want to thank Ms. Becca. I was torn between the free TK option and investing in my daughter's education here, and I am so grateful I chose to keep her at this school. Ms. Becca sent her into Kindergarten with confidence, strong social skills, and -- most importantly -- a real academic foundation. To this day, my daughter still talks about things she learned in Ms. Becca's class, and she is currently performing above grade level in her academics. That speaks for itself. I also have to give a huge shoutout to the music program -- it's the best. Ms. Carrel made music and singing so fun and engaging that my daughter absolutely loves to sing now. It's become one of her favorite things, and watching that love for music grow has been such a joy. We now have a little boy, and I cannot wait for him to start at CTCA and have the same experience his sister did. I love this school so much that I've been recommending it to everyone I know. If you're looking to invest in your child's future, this is the best first step you can take. I'm living proof. Thank you to the entire staff -- you all feel like family. I've even made real friendships through this school. CTCA is truly something special.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

My oldest daughter started at 2.5 yo and she really loved it here. She felt like she really…read morebelonged and insisted that we keep her here even though there was another preschool closer to home. She is now 6 and remembers what her teachers (especially Ms. Becca) have taught her. She is comfortable with drawing and writing in kindergarten thanks to her well developed fine motor and gross motor skills during her time at this preschool. When she became a kindergartener in the public school system, she helped her friends with opening lunchboxes, was confident in using the restroom and setting appropriate boundaries in friendships. Our second daughter is now in Ms. Becca's class at this preschool and she couldn't be more excited. She had wonderful and caring teachers ( Ms. Mariah and Ms. Winnie) who helped her become comfortable with school. We are grateful to have found this school and to have stayed here over the years. They have a wonderful little playground, a beautiful garden, and most importantly, a deeply caring staff.

Initially, we were a bit concerned about finding the right place for our kids, but from the moment we met the school principal and teachers, all our worries melted away. The staff--a special thank you to Mr. Jacob, Tori, and Debbie--were incredibly welcoming and attentive. Within a day, our children were eager to return and ended up spending about 10 days there, thoroughly enjoying themselves. Being able to watch them on camera also put our minds at ease. It's truly an amazing place full of great activities and a warm environment. We will definitely be returning next year! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our kids; we truly appreciate how warmly you welcomed our family!

The entire staff and all the teachers are incredibly warm, loving, and genuinely care for the children. They take wonderful care of the kids and create a very nurturing environment. I also deeply appreciate and agree with their teaching philosophy, which has been amazing for my girls' development. Another detail that really stands out is their commitment to providing high-quality educational materials; everything from the paper to the pens and art supplies is top-notch. I highly recommend this school to any parent!

While we had a great experience with the educators, we cannot recommend this school because of the…read moreadministration. They have lofty ideals but are not able to implement it. Ms. Angela, the social-emotional support specialist is especially incompetent at her job. My advice is to never share with her any difficulty your child is going through because she will use it to define your child for the rest of their time at Dot to Dot, even after the difficulty has long been overcome. They claim to work with parents but the truth is that they are deaf to what parents have to say and just want a one way communication. Dot to Dot is also closed for many more days than other preschools and this makes it hard for working parents.

I am most fond of their teaching and educational curriculum. Mr. Bob and Lindsay are very meticulous and have created a curriculum that is excellent for kids.

They also have a beautiful backyard where kids get a lot of outdoor time. I am already planning to put my 2nd one in there soon. Thank you Skills.

Highly recommend Kids Bay. Our family has been with them since 2021…read more Low teacher turnover rate. Our oldest started in the infant room at 4 months old. We also started our youngest at 4 months old and it's the same teacher. While there has been some turnover, many of the teachers have remained over the years we've been there, though some may have switched between different age-group classrooms during that time. Great learning environment. The teachers do a wonderful job of providing age appropriate activities and learning. Our oldest qualified for TK this past year but we chose to keep him at Kids Bay due to the learning environment. We would have loved for him to take part in the Jr. Kindergarten program Kids Bay offered but we unfortunately were unable to do so. Even though he didn't take part in the Jr. Kindergarten program, he's still ready to start Kindergarten. We also love the extra presentations they have from time-to-time such as the irish dancers that come around St. Patrick's Day (our oldest loves watching these dancers), or having animal handlers come in to show the kids and talk about different types of animals (like lizards). They care. The teachers and staff at Kids Bay care about the children. They have kindly provided feedback on behaviors they've observed which may or may not require attention, and they are willing to work with you to help support your child. Meals. Breakfast and snacks are included in the tuition. They offer lunch each day for an additional fee, and it's food the typical child will eat - nuggets, cheeseburger, corndogs, yakisoba noodles, pizza, etc. plus vegetables. Our oldest generally decides each day if he wants to eat what's offered that day or if he wants to bring lunch from home. Extra enrichment activity opportunities offered. While not included in the tuition, they partner with other parties to offer additional focused activities such as a dance class, sports days, and additional art classes. Our oldest has participated in the "sports day" since he was ~3 and it's one of his favorite days of the week. Monthly Parents Night Out. As a perk, the Kids Bay provides a monthly "parents night out" (that's included in the tuition) where you can drop your child off and go have a date night. While it seems like a little thing, we don't have nearby family to help watch the kids, and the thought of trying to find and vet a babysitter for our little ones was daunting. This was a wonderful perk for us - a date night where the babysitters are people both we and our kids know and trust. Summer Activities. They always have a great line-up of activities for the summer, and offer splash days later in the summer when it gets hot. Convenient hours. They offer convenient hours for our work schedules. Overall, we've had a great experience with Kids Bay and highly recommend them.

He has learned so much in the short amount of time he has attended. He comes home singing songs he learned in class, talks about the art projects he gets to do, and loves seeing his friends every time he visits. We get multiple pictures and updates everyday in our app so we can see exactly what he's up to. In addition, we love the parent date nights they offer once a month so we can have a relaxing night out. We are so thankful for all The Kids Bay does for our son!
