My kids came to this school from a home daycare. I found the Owners to be very helpful and…read morefriendly. In particular, Paul -- always gave my kids high 5s. Director Amanda is excellent and responsive. My son was in the Pre-K room there and my daughter in the 2s and then Preschool Rooms. Megan is/was the Pre-K teacher and I adored her. She was open and up front with the parents. Which is always appreciated. Paulina was my daughter's teacher for the majority of the time she was there and I miss her. She was sunshine. A couple of things I didn't care for: When we'd pick up the kids (at 4:15) my daughter's preschool class was often mixed in with the Pre-K class. And the same when we'd drop them off in the morning. At those times, I kind of felt like they were never doing anything....always running around playing but not doing anything organized. And by running around playing I mean that it came across as complete chaos sometimes. In the end the school did not offer Kindergarten so that is why we pulled my kids out. The school is pretty new, considering the ages of many of the places around here...so I think in time and when there are more kids there, that the kink I mentioned above may work themselves out.

My daughter attended from 3 months until age 2. We moved out of state. As I'm looking for a new…read moredaycare I realize how important reviews are. This school is amazing! I was so scared to put her in child care but I didn't have a choice and this school made it so much easier. The teachers are great you can tell that they really care about the kids. I cried on her last day. She learned as well as had fun.

The Director along with the teachers, go above and beyond for all of the children. The love and dedication they demonstrate definitely does not go unnoticed. The design and structure of the space is filled with fun touches, from the little village in the hallway, to the movie theater and the adorable little kitchen area. Everything is always extremely clean and well managed. The Kidsreports app is very comforting. We receive daily updates which include photos, activities and a meal/snack log. This application also allows us to communicate with the teachers and director. Cadence Academy has not only provided a great space for my son to learn and develop new friendships, but has also become such an important addition to our family. We truly love all of the staff, but wanted to personally thank Ms. Jamie, Ms. Kristen, Ms Leonora and Ms. Julie for always taking such good care of our son...you guys hold such a special place in our hearts. I definitely recommend Cadence Academy for those with littles ones.

Nothing wrong with those specific ones but she just never really adjusted. Big Barn has been so understanding and helpful. She comes home every afternoon with a smile on her face. She's learning and making friends. Couldn't ask for more. They're very communicative and flexible. I wish I would have found them sooner. They are super affordable if you are looking to get your child into daycare and preschool. Definitely a hidden gem. Couldn't be happier.

They only bring on staff that are capable and caring. I love that I hear about my sons activities several times each day and that any calls messages I send through the app are tended to immediately. Also, I must note: When my son was hospitalized at 18mos old, the team was tremendously supportive, checking in with us regularly and making a beautiful get well card for my son with photos and signed by each of the staff members. They truly go above and beyond to care for the children and communicate with the parents- and ensure nobody ever feels like "a number". We are so happy we found this center and I don't have any reason to rate them less than the full five stars!

The staff are amazing and the director Wendy and assistant Keyanna are absolutely amazing!!! This center has great communication and make sure that their first priority is putting your child first and making sure you are comfortable and have all the information you need. The moment I sat down with Wendy and told her what I was looking for as far as childcare services for my daughter, I knew this was the right location and she gave me all the answers I needed and more. Trust me, you can't go wrong with North KinderCare learning center. The staff are highly trained and really do have the best interest for the kids and their families.

I cannot say enough good things about the staff at Mini Steps! As a former employee (director…read morequalified) of five years at KinderCare and an early education major, I held Mini Steps to high standards going in. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised to realize that I could drop my children off at a "non-chain" daycare and receive exceptional care at an affordable price. My youngest son started attending Mini Steps when he was only 10 weeks old. As a single mom, nothing was harder for me than leaving my newborn at daycare while I went to work every day. The quality of loving care and nurturing that he received on a daily basis from Ms. Marie and Ms. Jan was beyond any of my expectations. I quickly felt at ease leaving my newborn at Mini Steps in the loving and capable hands of the staff there. As my newborn grew and moved up to the toddler room, the transition was so easy and natural because he was already so comfortable and attached to Ms. Jan. From the toddler room he moved on to the 2s room with Ms. Sarah and again, I have nothing but amazing things to say. Ms. Sarah loved my son as she loved her own, and I knew that he was in the best hands possible. In the 3s room with Ms. Robbin and the 4s room with Ms. Barbara my son grew into the adorable, stubborn, hard-headed, sweet, hilarious, and smart child that he is today. He loved going to school and playing with his friends, and I loved how much he was learning through play and not even realizing it! My oldest son was a schoolager when he started Mini Steps in first grade. We both love Ms. Kay and cannot say enough wonderful things about her! She is a teacher and friend to her students, which can sometimes be a hard combination, but it comes as second nature to Ms. Kay. Not only is she caring and compassionate, she is strict when she needs to be. I recently purchased a new home in a new school district and had no other choice but to remove my children from Mini Steps. I cried on their last day. How do you say "Thank You" to the amazing teachers who helped you raise your children for 5 years?? Words just don't seem like enough. Tracie and Moe, thank you for giving me peace of mind every single day for 5 years while I was away from my boys. Thank you to the entire staff of Mini Steps for loving my boys the way I do. I will forever be grateful. xoxo

Ecole has been so welcoming and warm for our little one. Choosing a daycare is such a tough choice,…read morebut we recommend considering Ecole in your search! The teachers we've had so far are wonderful, and the management is usually prompt to respond to concerns/messages. Food and formula are included, which is so awesome. And their curriculum is incredibly well-rounded, including world languages and yoga. They also have a nice enclosed playground for children to get fresh air on warmer days. Unfortunately, there seems to be a high rate of teacher turnover this year, at least in the younger classrooms, which can be challenging for consistency and building relationships. However, the staff who are there seem dedicated and are very caring.

The whole classroom kids were sick from RSV and they don't send any one home. My son got that too of course , they don't care about the kids much once you get enrolled. I brought half case of pull ups ( 36 pieces) at the first day, and my son only go there half day, after 5 days later, they ask me to bring more pull ups. I gues Asian kids are responsible for white kids' diapers I guess?
