I definitely recommend bringing your children here if you need to run errands or just need some alone time I usually buy the bronze package for 18 hours so that's $7.00 per hour per child.

The business owner at this child care keeps posting my child's photo in her advertisements without…read morepermission. My husband and I have told her numerous times to take them off, yet we are finding my child's image on KidTime's Facebook pages, IG and Google. The owner still illegally posts them for financial gain, even though we have paperwork that proves she doesn't have permission and is not allowed to, ever. I will never bring my child back to this facility due to that reason. It violates child safety and a disregard for the privacy of the child and parents' wishes. An attorney has been contacted concerning this and maybe the owner will heed the attorney's instructions.

A great member of the Community…read more Let me preface by saying that I am not a congregant of Bethel Presbyterian Church although I do have a historical relationship and having lived the community and used their services, this is a community that give back. My ancestors in the 1700's founded Centre Presbyterian Church which was the parent Church for both this Church and Hopewell Presbyterian Church. More than likely I have a number of distant Aunts and Uncles and others interred in this Cemetery. We have lived in the neighbor for almost 25years and this Church is an integral part of the community. I've known and been neighbor with at least two of their minister. They open up their faculties for the community even if you are not Presbyterian. They are the polling place for Mecklenburg County Pct 208 Polling Place, they permit us to hold our Annual HOA Meeting here, they have an outstanding Scout Program and their annual BBQ fundraiser provides me of the best Que in the area. This is one of the local Churches that put words into action and I'm glad you are here.

Our daughter started at Kiddie Academy February of 2024. Our overall experience at this location…read morehas been good. The facility is nice, open and they also have camera access. They have additional programs kids can participate in like soccer and yoga (an extra fee) which is great for exposing kids to different sports and leisure activities. The teacher turn-over is high. In my daughters class she has had three different teachers since August and several different teacher assistants. This created some drop off issues but she adjusted overtime. She is no longer attending because there have been several cases of hand, foot and mouth disease. The school notified parents but as a precaution we weren't comfortable sending her back. The lack of cleanliness and staff consistency in my opinion is why there were probably a few cases (I am not a doctor but I have spoken to friends and family in childcare). Would I recommend the school for its facility structure and programing yes. Would I recommend them if you want teacher consistency and a empathetic regional director, no

We're a few weeks into care with this facility and so far it's not been a great experience. The…read morecustomer service is trash; they seem completely unaware that we are paying customers and act as though they're doing us a favor. They've asked for grace through the opening process. The cameras in the classrooms not working appropriately, the safety mechanism on the door not working properly, the opening of the business being pushed back. With that being said, grace is not returned. We tried to drop our 2 month old off today 19 minutes past the "cut off time"- which is 9:30am and she was turned away. First of all, having a cut off time at a daycare that's open from 6-6 is ridiculous, my schedule is flexible and sometimes i don't start until later in the day and prefer for her to be with me instead of at daycare. With that said- we realize that is the rule and should have read their terms closer and paid attention- unfortunately we did not- but when you're open for a few weeks and constantly asking for understanding, you'd think you'd be able to reciprocate. Also, she's 2 months old and our first child. What if there's traffic? What if she throws up on us on the way out the door and we have to change her? We cant drop off our child without a DOCTORS NOTE after 9:30 in the morning? Is that a joke? We have to take a day off work because we were 20 minutes "late" to a place we pay to care for our child from 6-6? The director is a cold, unaccommodating, unhelpful piece of the the business. While trying to use their entrance software, which does not work properly, she sits through the door watching us struggle instead of offering help. Once we finally get into the building and explain the issue we're having, she looks at us like we're speaking a foreign language, despite two seconds later being told by another employee that the system had been doing exactly what we were describing all day. She's standing there when we walk in 19 minutes past their cutoff time and instead of offering any understanding about how hard it is to be new parents during this adjustment period, she just turns and walks away without a word. We've picked up our daughter multiple times with crusty vomit in her hair, having eaten 8oz in an 8 hour period, with poop up her back and past her belly button. Watching on the cameras as she's placed in her crib for a vast majority of the day- that is when the cameras are even working. For a company that's just starting out, trying to establish their place in the community with something as important as our children, you'd think it would be all KIND hands on deck- ESPECIALLY in the beginning. Instead we get attitude. In my opinion, they act as though there's no other place in town that takes children and that we're lucky to be there and not as though we are the consumers who are paying their salaries and keeping the lights on. If the behavior continues, good luck filling your rooms.

We've only recently moved our children over to Gateway from the Goddard School…read more The building is well designed, the lobby was open, warm, and though a small detail, it smelled of warm potpourri as opposed to the normal sterile, hospital smell of child care centers. The middle of the building is open, creating a sense of community among the children. I like that my older daughter can see her little brother at points during the day, she always worried about him. The staff is laid back and engaged with with kids. We felt no pressure from them on signing up, nor were we rushed through the building during the tour. Considering the meals are prepared for the children, the cost is reasonable and I feel is a strong value in the market. The location is convenient to us on the way home but also is off the main roads, so I don't worry about traffic or danger from outside.

My sons attended Cadence for about 4 months this year after our nanny abruptly left - we needed…read moreshort-term, full day childcare until we moved to another city. The team there is fantastic - friendly and genuinely kind people who care about the kids in their school. Food is included, but it's "kid food" - lots of chicken nuggets and fish sticks - so if you're looking for something organic or fancy you might want to provide your own food instead. That said, they were very accommodating of my kids' dietary restrictions and never made us worry that our kids would be fed something they couldn't eat (something I can't say for every child care facility we've encountered in LKN). The playgrounds are a little old - mulch-filled and older style equipment, chain link fences, etc. Compared to some newer facilities, the playgrounds could use some love, but my kids were happy so I didn't mind. Water play day on Wednesdays in the summer! Ice cream truck visits every other Tuesday in the summer! Older kids might even go for a walking field trip to Bruster's - the highlight of their week. Communication with the front office and with your kid's teacher is more challenging now because of COVID. I found I was still able to reach people if I needed to, and they answered all of my questions to my satisfaction. A weekly newsletter or email from teachers to parents might be a good idea - sometimes we felt surprised by planned events and daily/weekly themes. I love the layout of the building inside - the older kids' classroom in the middle feels very much like a Montessori environment to me. Overall would highly recommend!

She has absolutely thrived and can't wait to get to school each day. She truly loves the staff and they sincerely love her as well. She's not just another student at the school, they love her and take pride in her accomplishments and achievements, as do I and that means so much to me as a parent. The teachers are caring and patient and use excellent state provided curriculum to ensure every student is prepared for kindergarten. The outdoor play area is like nothing else offered by other schools in the area and fosters a whole new level of outdoor learning and play. The Children's Cottage has been established since the mid 1990s and I am so thankful that my daughter is a student there. I know that when she is dropped off each morning, she is well taken care of, is learning, and has of fun!
