There are so few alternative educational options in Bentonville. There are plenty of private…read moreschools, but very few that are not parochial. More importantly, very few who are as tolerant, inclusive, and focused on raising children to honor peace and civility and to appreciate the natural world around them. Montessori is not daycare. It is not even your traditional school. Children at Walnut Farm are empowered to do things for themselves, and to study that which interests them most. In addition to several well appointed Montessori classrooms they also have a few unique features such as an outdoor classroom where children are learning life skills including gardening and caring for animals. The school also has a natural playground with features literally carved from the forested hillside. I see my little boy growing into a confident, warm, caring, and intelligent young man at Walnut Farm. He loves to read and do math. He is fascinated by and in love with every kind of animal. He loves his teachers and his classmates. When kids reach school age, we rely on the school to mold them into the people we want them to be. Schools have the kids from 8 to 3 most days, leaving just 4 or 5 hours with their parents. If they are going to play that big a role in the development of my child... then I feel strongly about choosing a school that not only does a good job educating my child, but also teaches him to grow up tolerant of the many differences in people around the world. They take children from toddlers through around the equivalent of 6th grade.

I've had a really positive experience with Casa Castillo. The teachers and staff are kind, caring,…read moreand attentive to my child. My child is always excited to go every day, which gives me a lot of peace of mind as a parent. I also appreciate that Casa Castillo is welcoming to many different families and children.

We were so excited to have our child in a Spanish immersion program and I think this clouded our…read morejudgment. They hire anyone that speaks Spanish and give them the minimum training required by the state and that which the busy director can provide. The director is unprofessional to put it kindly. It's a very much "blame the child" and "blame the parents for the child's behavior" type of environment. Being our first child and first daycare experience we started to feel like there was something wrong with the way we were disciplining our child at home. I'll always feel guilty that we stuck with this place for so long despite all the red flags. When my child left Casa Castigo she couldn't even be hugged without screaming. It took us hiring a nanny that was very patient and affectionate and eventually she turned back to being the happy and affectionate child she was before. We have since been to other daycares where our child has thrived and not have any problems. Communication is another one of those red flags. Much later after the fact I came to find out that my child had a meltdown so bad that they took her out of the classroom and kept her in the hallway for a long time while she cried. This would have been the type of thing that I would expect to have been told about. If you choose this place for your child please pay attention to the red flags.

I highly highly HIGHLY recommend this facility for childcare. My 3 yo has never been with anyone…read morefrom birth to now. But with work between my husband and I we had to get her in somewhere. Swiftly. But of course you can not trust just anyone with your babies. Our little one is very cautious when meeting new people. She's reserved. And not open at all to being around strangers. She's never been around a group of little ones or teachers alone. So this was super new for her and us. Of course for the first day-week she cried when we left her there. But as the first week was coming to a close we noticed a major difference. She started talking about her "friends" and she wanted to "go see the kids". Oh and her teacher...Ms. Janay! She is THE BEST! And she loves Ms. Keisha! All of the staff are kind hearted. Respectful. Welcoming. Loving. The right people you would want taking care of your child when you are not around. Also, and this may not mean much for some...but this facility is the most diverse facility I visited when shopping for childcare. I believe this is important and was indeed the biggest factor in our little brown girl feeling safe and secure. There were people there that looked like her own family at home. I can't thank them enough.

I have four children and they have all attended Cadence Academy. My oldest 2 completed the Jr. K…read moreprogram and were very well prepared for kindergarten. My youngest 2 still attend. The teachers in the minnows room are gentle and loving. They work with the babies to do fun arts and crafts, teach them sign language, and cuddle and love them. My baby has never had a need that was not met. She is happy and excited when I drop her off at school. She's attended since 8 weeks and I've never once had a complaint. My 2 year old also attends Cadence. His teachers have the patience of saints. Toddlers are not always easy, and though I've seen quite a few outbursts from the kids as toddlers will do, I've never once seen a teacher raise her voice or lose patience. They love the kids and teach them structure, love, and acceptance. Ms. Kayla and Ms. Jessica in particular have been wonderful with my son and have worked with him and with us tirelessly during the "joys" of potty training. I recommend this place 100% and love it so much that we drive a half an hour each way just so my kids can attend. If you want a loving environment with values and education, this is the place to be.

The staff are all great teachers and great with the kids. They have different classes/camps for different age groups. The six week courses each have a different theme. I also think the price is super reasonable and affordable. I have seen a few of the Trike theater plays performed at the Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville and they have all been great. They have a specific stage at the arts enter that is smaller (think a large movie theatre size) and it is really enjoyable. It is enjoyable because it is more intimate and the kids feel more involved and like they can participate and interact with the play in that setting. Great theater and performing arts school/group!
