We switched our 1.5 year old here from a different daycare that we were at for a year. After a…read morelittle over a month at dogwood, I'm impressed! They exceeded all expectations, and I am realizing what childcare SHOULD be like compared to the old daycare. Dogwood excels in the following areas that I find important: Communication: The staff is prompt to communicate on all platforms, through the app, email, and phone. Food: they send out the weekly meal plan, and it's always healthy and nutritious food that my son loves. He's a 99th percentile guy, and so he eats a lot and is never hungry when I pick him up (unlike our old daycare). He probably eats better than me most days here! Staff: I can't say enough great things about the management and teachers here. From the moment we walk in, there's a smiling face at the front desk available to help with anything we need. The teachers clearly love what they do, my son loves them so much. After a year of challenging drop off and pickups with tears at the old place, it's refreshing that there hasn't been a bad handoff since the 2nd week. He even tried to go back in after picking him up he likes it so much. Facility: it's a beautiful facility and CLEAN!! Ample parking, and well thought out. Photos: I have received photos every day, to me this is important as the old daycare I was lucky to get 1 photo a month. They even put little text with it sometimes. This makes going to work and leaving my son at school a lot easier. To summarize this very long review, Dogwood is excellent and my only regret is not coming here sooner. We do drive 10 minutes further because we feel the level of care our son receives is worth it.

Our son absolutely loves Dogwood! And so do we!!!…read more Our son has been at dogwood since he was an infant. As he has progressed through the different age groups, each and every class room has been wonderful. Teachers are always willing to communicate, we have transparency into his daily activities, we get multiple photos daily of his activities, and he is learning so much. The food they serve is healthy and my son loves it. He gets breakfast and lunch each day. All home made right at the school. Their education programming is thoughtful and fun, with themed ideas each week/month that are great. They value sensory learning at a young age and keep children engaged as they get older with one on one learning each day. They also have as few plastic toys as possible, focusing on natural materials. Overall we feel like my son is in great hands each day!!!

She absolutely loves her teacher, Ms. Breanna, and it's clear how caring, patient, and engaged she is with the children. One of our favorite features is the interactive camera system. The secure app allows parents to see what's going on in the classroom from check-in to check-out, which provides so much peace of mind throughout the day. The center offers a wide variety of activities, and everything is very structured, organized, and thoughtfully planned. You can tell the staff genuinely care about the children's development and happiness. We highly recommend Tutor Time to other parents who are looking for a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for their child. It's definitely worth giving this center a try!

After four incredible years with Tutor Time, I can confidently say this center has played a huge…read morerole in shaping our child into the curious, kind-hearted 5-year-old he is today. From the very beginning, the staff has been warm, attentive, and incredibly in tune with children's emotional and developmental needs. There's a real sense of community here--my child walks in feeling like he's part of something special, not just a student. Tutor Time blends structured learning with play-based discovery beautifully. Over the years, my child has blossomed socially and academically. Whether he's painting, exploring nature, or learning early math and literacy skills, there's always excitement in his voice when he tells me about his day. The transformation has been remarkable--from toddler giggles to confident storytelling, problem-solving, and a newfound independence. Our son has built friendships, learned compassion, and developed a love for learning that I know will carry into kindergarten and beyond.

Wendy was a god send and was super informative and supportive. I was terrified to introduce solids and they really helped me with that. My son loves all of his teachers (especially Jedah) and always has a smile on his face for Wendy when he's dropped off. I honestly know they love my son and it makes it so much easier to drop him off and just get through the work week. A bunch of teachers that aren't even in his class always say hi to him and know about him (Miss Meghan and Miss Anne). The front desk staff (Brooke, Kristen, Tiffany) and so awesome too. Kim has been super welcoming from the get go. Also the fact that tuition includes food is SO nice. It saves money but more so it's just one less thing to worry about and do during hectic mornings and evenings. Also, they do so many activities and theme weeks - my son lives water play. We have had such a great experience so far.

Our daughter attended the infant room at Kids R Kids for about 3.5 months. It was our first…read moreexperience with daycare and we were happy with it. The director of the center is on site every day and is very responsive over phone and email. You can tell she really cares and that translates to the attitudes of the teachers, too. Kids R Kids has a higher staff to child ratio than is required by the state, so we felt good that our daughter had more attention. The communication between the center and parents is good. There is an app that gives you a full report at the end of the day of all activities (feedings, naps, diaper changes) and they'll occasionally send pictures. There are also video cameras in the room that you can log into to see what's happening live. We really appreciated this level of transparency. They do lots of good activities with the babies - they go outside every day weather permitting, read together, tummy time. I felt like our daughter's motor skills (such as rolling and sitting up) developed rapidly with their help. They also did some very cute art/painting projects. This location of Kids R Kids is in a nice, new building and has a very convenient parking lot. Pickup and drop-off was always fast and simple. The only reason we left this daycare is because we got a spot at a daycare closer to home. In our original search, Kids R Kids was our number one choice and was right near my husband's office. However, due to Covid, we are both working from home and it saved us a lot of driving to change daycares.

a day ago NEW First I…read morewould like to say how much the staff blew me away with their kindness. Just from speaking to them over the phone, I could really tell that they were personable and jolly people. You don't always find that nowadays so I wanted to make sure that I let them know that during my tour. I was not able to remember everyone's name but the receptionist with the fade and the receptionist with the brunette hair and glasses were very kind and down to earth whenever I had questions or concerns about anything. Even the Financial Secretary (if I'm not mistaken) has been kind to me throughout our short experience with Early Beginnings. Unfortunately, my son and I were not given a chance to experience the extension of kindness in its totality due to being excused from the daycare after my son only attended a day and a half. On his first full day (8/14/23) I was told that he had some problems with listening and getting into the routine which caused problems within the classroom. I attempted to try and talk to his teacher about it the following day but was told that it was understood that this was his first daycare experience and to let some time go by so he could become acclimated (8/15/23). By 11am that same day, I received a phone call with my son crying nonstop in the background and was asked to pick him immediately. Upon my arrival, the Financial Secretary (I believe that was her position) spoke to me about how the environment was overstimulating for my child and how Early Beginnings does not have the staff to give him the extra attention he needs to acclimate him at this time. This truly upset and hurt me to my core that after just a day and a half of enrollment he was being asked to leave. The swiftness of it makes me feel uneasy and uncertain about any interventions or extra care that was taken during that time to help him, if they were given with patience and understanding at all. My son is not a neurotypical child but you are not able to notice it upfront. It is more obvious during social settings. Regardless of whether or not he is a neurotypical child, he should've been given a fighting chance to show whether or not Early Beginnings really would've been "a good fit" for him or not. A day and a half is not enough time to observe whether or not any child will be able to adapt to routines or learn to interact appropriately within a classroom and with peers. I really hope in the future the company will reflect on how unfair this quick termination is to any child and how it effects the child and parent emotionally to be turned away so quickly without any offerings of adjustments, interventions or even a conference with the Director and/or Assistant Director. Please take into consideration that every child you enroll will not always be pleasant or easy to teach and that it will require dedication, work and genuine love for what you do to assist any child in this World.

Even with the transition of her going to a different class once she got older, the experience of both classrooms were great. The teachers love the students like Their own, but including healthy boundaries. My child loved her teachers so much she would look forward to Going to "school" and would have a story to tell About all she learned and did for the day at pick Up. Early beginnings really made enrolling our daughter at a new school pleasant for both of us. The communication is great and modern from the apps used, Cameras in class and the emails from staff; you are able to have open communication with the teachers and staff. The staff is knowledgeable and it's amazing how they Learn and know all of the students to greet them upon arrival. They have all kinds of fun activities for the kids and sometimes parents too. I loved the theme days! It kept the day exciting and the kids look forward to going to school. If you are not one of the people who are ashamed to discuss the goodness of God, I believe you'll enjoy this place as they have values in forgiveness, prayer, and love. I also love the diversity of the students and staff, that truly mirrors the world we live in and gives your child additional layers. We felt comfortable with our Child going here and though she graduated pre-k, she is still mentioning her previous teacher over the Summer. My child was not enrolled as an infant, however as a 3-5year old, we loved every bit and she learned a lot!Thank you for all that you do! I pray this place continues to grow and keep God first. (I would give some Acknowledgements to certain staff but I won't for their security).

I am not sure where these other vile comments and reviews have come from, but if you have a moment…read moreto read on the divine impact S&E childcare development center had on my child, I would encourage you to read my entire review! From the perspective of a mother whose child ABSOLUTELY THRIVED and continues to be a scholar among his peers in elementary school, I can't express how excellent the care and academic RIGOR is at S&E childcare development center. My child started at 18 months and stayed until he started Kindergarten. S&E childcare development center poured into my child spiritually, emotionally, and academically. Not to brag, but my child left S&E childcare development center beyond ready for Kindergarten, to a point where he scored 1st and 2nd grade levels on reading and math during his kindergarten year. I can't tell you how many friends and family members are in awe of how articulate, intelligent, and confident my child is. All of these characteristics were instilled in him as a collaboration of the work of S&E and partnership with us at home. In reference to the waitlist, S&E childcare development center continues to have a waitlist, because once your child is in their care, you will NEVER want to leave! When I became pregnant with my second child, I notified the director while only a few months pregnant, bc there is no other choice for our family than S&E for childcare! I could go on and on about how much I truly love S&E childcare development center, but I know this review is getting long. I will end by saying, S&E childcare development center is not only an EXCEPTIONAL development center, but a safe haven for your child to be loved like family, and where you as a parent, will have complete peace of mind!

As a parent, finding the perfect child care center for our little one was a top priority, and let…read moreme tell you--choosing S&E Child Development Center has been the best decision we've ever made! It's not just a daycare; it's a magical wonderland where our child's dreams come to life every single day. From the moment we first visited, we were blown away by the warmth, love, and professionalism of the staff. The facility is immaculate, with vibrant, colorful spaces that instantly spark creativity and joy. The classroom is thoughtfully designed to meet the developmental needs of the children, filled with engaging toys, books, and learning materials that cater to their curiosity and growth. The staff at S&E Child Development Center are nothing short of extraordinary. Ms. Shana is incredibly attentive, patient, and genuinely invested in the well-being and development of the children. They've taken the time to truly understand our child unique & 'fun' personality, nurturing her strengths while gently guiding her in areas where she needs extra support. The level of communication with parents is phenomenal; we receive daily updates, photos, and videos that allow us to stay connected to our child's day-to-day experiences. The curriculum at S&E is simply outstanding. It offers a perfect balance of play and structured learning, focusing on building social skills, creativity, and a strong foundation for early academics. We've watched our child blossom under their care, coming home each day with an infectious excitement for learning. What truly sets S&E Child Development Center apart is the sense of community they foster. They regularly organize fun events, such as themed parties, which make us feel like we're part of a big, supportive family. The center's commitment to health and safety is also exceptional, with top-notch security measures and a focus on healthy eating--even though my little one was not a fan of veggies. In short, S&E Child Development Center has been everything we could have hoped for and more. It's a place where our child is not only safe and cared for but is also encouraged to explore, learn, and grow in the most loving and nurturing environment imaginable. We couldn't be happier with our choice, and we wholeheartedly recommend S&E Child Development Center to any parent looking for the very best in child care. Five stars aren't enough!
