Avoid Midlothian Kids Academy at all costs…read more This daycare has extremely high staff turnover and poor supervision of the children. When my son moved to the two-year-old classroom, we were told they would help with potty training -- but within a week they began complaining about accidents and even suggested we bring in Pampers. It was clear they just didn't want to do their job. I refused, and ironically, my son's potty training improved right after that. The food they serve is subpar -- my son comes home hungry every day. Classrooms are often combined because they're short-staffed, creating chaos and disorganization. When incidents happen, they rarely communicate unless you call to ask what happened. One of the most concerning experiences was when my son came home with his face visibly swollen from crying. We were told he had a hard time going to sleep at nap time -- but we picked him up at 5 p.m., which means he was left crying unattended for an extended period of time. That's completely unacceptable and heartbreaking for any parent to hear. Worst of all, the director is dismissive and gaslights parents instead of being transparent or taking accountability. If you care about your child's safety, nutrition, and emotional well-being, run far away from this place.

I have never been more concerned for the safety and wellbeing of the children at this facility…read more There is favoritism among the children, unprofessional staff, low staff but they have their "Enroll now" sign up and putting more stress on the staff by maxing out their capacity. They have a "cut-off" time to check in at 9am, they will not let you enter the classroom past this time. The food is garbage, oatmeal every day, no utensils for the older kids. The leaders don't care about your children, they just want your money. They try to find ways to send the children home early (based off a couple other parents I have spoken to). One of the staff members are very aggressive physically with the "more difficult" kids and when they don't listen or are having a hard time. I absolutely want you to be aware of this before considering enrollment

Because they don't teach the kids much at all and then yell at the kids when they get a question wrong. This place is disrespectful and evil.

We've had a number of ridiculous and infuriating incidences with this center except for the amazing teachers in the infant class but this time the laziest teacher blatantly stated to my husband that they want the Velcro diapers instead of pull-ups so that it's easier for them and they don't have to take her shoes off. How much more lazier can they get?? We PAY THEM to take care of our daughter. They don't get to decide how/if we potty train our child. Geez. If it wasn't for the convenience & military pricing, we would not choose this place! I'm so disgusted.

Our grandchildren have been attending Centralia Child Development Center since they were just three…read moremonths old, and we couldn't be more grateful for the care and support they have received. As grandparents raising two neuro- divergent children, we faced unique challenges, but the staff at [Daycare Name] have been nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, the team worked with us through all seasons, showing incredible patience and dedication. They have helped up navigate 2 year old tantrums, to helping when one had a tendency to try and elope to dealing with the violent meltdowns that sometimes come with autism. They took the time to understand the particular behaviors that come with each child's diagnosis, ensuring our grandchildren felt comfortable and supported at all times. Moreover, Centralia Child Development went above and beyond by providing additional resources and guidance, helping us navigate the complexities of raising neurodivergent children. Their unwavering support has made a world of difference in our journey. We wholeheartedly recommend Centralia Child Development Center to any family seeking a nurturing and understanding environment for their children. The compassion and expertise of the staff have truly been a blessing to us. Thank you, Centrailia, for everything you do! Just as a side note my grand children are now 8 and 6 years old and happy, thriving and successful in school and I believe it is in VERY LARGE part to the care and nurturing they received while very young and as they developed at Centrailia Child Development Center. 5 Stars is not nearly high enough!
