Always fed, always clean, tons of activities for the kids, great place. Our daughter went there from 18mn.-9ish year of age before and after school care and pick up and drop off from local schools which is nice. Fair pricing, your kid will never go hungry there. Great place, great care providers, great management, great place. Don't let looks detract you, bc this place is fantastic to the kids and parents. The pricing is also fantastic.

Walked in today looking for a good daycare to leave my kids during the week, and I immediately…read moreregretted taking the 10 mins to get my 2 toddlers and newborn out of the car. But what's done is done, figured by this point it was worth at least taking a look on the inside. The place was rundown, doesn't look like it had been cleaned in a year. Was scared to touch anything knowing that we're prolly gonna get sick just standing here. I could hear all the babies crying in the other room, when I peeked in there were 2 adults and prolly a good 8 or so babies, half were crying. The one adult came to assist me, and left the other to tend to all babies on her own. Even tho half of them needed attention, the other lady was sitting on the window sill not even caring that babies were crying. My heart sank, these people had no love or even decency to help a crying baby. I would never put my kids in a place like this. I felt so bad for those babies in there, I wish that I could have saved them from the neglect they're getting at this daycare. This place is aweful and doesn't even deserve a 1 star

I have three sons -- 9 year old identical twins and a 13 year old. My twins grew up at Academy for…read moreCreative Learning, attending there from the time they turned two until they started kindergarten. My oldest son attended the ACL school age program during Christmas break and summer for three years. I cannot say enough good things about ACL -- our family has many very sweet memories of our time there. One of the features that distinguishes ACL from other child care facilities is that the owner pays her employees well and there is very little turn over there. The teachers (God bless them) work there because they love kids and they have the patience of saints (if my life depended on it I don't think I could manage even a day in charge of a classroom full of two year olds, but these ladies make it look easy and fun). Each teacher that we came into contact with took the time to really get to know my boys -- even though my twins look exactly alike, they were always treated like the individuals that they are. When they were three, one of my sons needed some medical tests in Dallas and I was stunned when his teacher spent the weekend driving all over town to find him a stuffed bulldog (his favorite animal at the time) to cuddle with during his test. During the year my boys were in the pre-K room our family went through a divorce and the teachers were such a big help in providing my boys the stability and TLC that they needed through that difficult transition. The hair salon was a great feature -- all you have to do is leave payment at the front desk in the morning and when you pick up your child at the end of the day they have a fantastic hair cut. The swimming pool was great too -- the daily time in the pool during the summer time went a long way toward my boys developing a love for water. The summer school age camp was super -- every day was filled with field trips, fun crafts, time in the pool and games. My boys still reminisce about summers at ACL -- especially the weekly visits from the snow cone truck. As far as I'm concerned, the only downside of ACL is that the food is kind of junky -- white bread, juice drinks, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, and processed cheese are all featured prominently on the menu. I did find, however, that the staff was good about abiding by my request that my boys be served the healthier options and given water instead of juice drinks. The bottom line is that I recommend ACL wholeheartedly.

The instructor stated this child is a waste of my time, he needs to stop sucking his finger, that is disgusting, and he won't stay seated, therefore he is a danger to the other children. There was at no time any aggression toward anyone. This was all stated in front of the child. This is unprofessional on so many levels and shaming to the child. My daughter is crushed and has no words for this experience. As a health care provider my heart is broken for the insensitive treatment of my grandson and my daughter. I do not recommend Sylvan of Waco Texas, especially the instructor Mari Martin.

Again she's potty trained. When any of this was brought up they said they'd look into it and nothing was done.

They do not pay attention to the children, they send them home disgusting with rashes, bruises, scratches, bite marks and no explanation 90% of the time!!! Every time I've ever confronted the director AMANDA about situations she would try and flip the script on me and try and make me feel crazy when in fact they were negligent in caring for my child!! Every day I would drop off and pick my child up in a gym filled with children of all ages screaming and crying and confused without any adult supervision. The supposed teachers would be on their personal phones sitting in the back corner while the children just ran around...some no shoes, missing clothing, screaming because they were hurt, and they never even budged. I could walk in and grab my child and walk out and no one would stop me or even know I took her. BE CAREFUL because they will also lose all your child's belongings "SHOES". THIS IS NOT A PLACE YOU WANT YOUR CHILD!!!!! ESPECIALLY IF SAID CHILD HAS A FOOD ALLERGY BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT ADHERE TO DIETARY RESTRICTIONS... My child was also kicked out because they had a licensing investigation on them for being negligent in caring for the children. In Dr. Amanda's words "I know you are the one who called on us, your child is no longer a fit to be in our school."
