My daughter has been going for 4 months now and absolutely loves it. With my daughter being born during COVID, I really worried about her social skills & attachment to me. The transition to school part-time went better than expected and I've really seen her social skills & imaginary play grow. The reason I specifically picked this program is their combination of play-based learning & academics. I've seen my daughters understanding of letters and numbers grow while creating an overall love of learning. And more importantly I've seen a huge development in her social skills with other kids. Overall, we are so happy to have found a preschool that's the perfect fit for us & at a reasonable price point.

It is lovely to have our whole family in one building to cut down on commuting time. Having everyone in one spot simplifies our day and gives us the opportunity to join in on certain preschool class activities like the visit from the firetruck during Community Helpers Week. The Maker's Place feels like a second home - minus the clean up. I am able to focus on work while still having all of the comfort and amenities of being in a home like set up. My kids are here, but I don't have to clean up after them. It is a fantastic combination of spaces that fit our whole family. All of the teachers and staff have been very nice and courteous. They are genuinely engaged with our kids, helping them to become good humans. It is definitely more than a daycare, it is a school and a place of growth and community.

Miss Kayla and Miss Mary. And Miss Nina, all of the teachers are all very great. I love the fact that they send updates regarding your child as far as the daily sheets and letting the parents know what our children have been doing all day. Since my child has been going to Cadence Academy, I've noticed a definite change with her speech as well as her social skills so I'm very satisfied over the top with Cadence Academy!

Both of my kids have gone here, my son until age 2 and now my daughter, who just started. She's…read moreonly been there two weeks and has already adjusted so well, which really speaks to how caring and attentive the staff is. The staff retention is incredible (many have been there for decades), and you can tell they genuinely love the kids. They provide nutritious meals, diapers and wipes, and even wash sleep items, which is such a huge help. It's an unassuming place, but I truly can't think of a better spot for your babies. I just wish they went through TK!

It's been such a positive experience for our family. The teachers are amazing -- they're caring, patient, and really good with both the kids and the parents.

We're so grateful for everything they've done for our family and would definitely recommend Forever Young to other parents!

He especially liked Miss Mai, and I know this because when I let him know he'd be going to see her he got very excited. The facility is kept super clean and organized, breakfast and lunch are made fresh every day, they read, play music, do arts and crafts, have time outside, etc. I got a daily report and they'd also send me pictures of him so I could see how he was doing. The staff are certified teachers with degrees and are young enough to keep up with all the kids (LOL). Just writing this review makes me sad all over again that I couldn't keep him enrolled. Don't hesitate to check this place out if you are looking for great childcare.

Our son has been attending Little Big Time since July 2016. We have enjoyed our time at the school…read moreand really appreciate their participation in various programs such as hearing and vision screening and First 5 enrichment programs. They have gone on field trips to the Capitol for Native American Day as well as to the farmer's market nearby. All of the staff are very caring and do a great job engaging with the kids, both during fun time and academic time. They have "themes" for each week or month - books, aquatic life, Olympics, and maps are just a few that come to mind. The lessons, art projects, and books displayed around the center are all geared toward the theme during that frame. They post photos to a private Shutterfly site that parents can subscribe to and are very flexible when I need to get our son for a doctor appointment. We also love the meals and snacks are included, which saves us a lot of preparation time at home every day. They have a great play area outside, as well. All in all, we are so happy we found Little Big Time and highly recommend it!

We absolutely love Art Beast for our son. We tried another daycare when he turned two, but it just…read morewasn't the right fit for our family. Switching to Art Beast was one of the best decisions we made. He adjusted incredibly quickly, in fact, within his first week, the teachers commented that it felt like he'd been there forever. They also played a huge role in helping us potty train him, and he was fully potty trained within about a month of starting. The teachers are genuinely kind, caring, and deeply invested in the kids. You can tell they put their heart and soul into the activities, projects, and experiences they create every day. We love the creative, play-based approach, while still having enough structure to help kids thrive. One thing that really stands out is the mixed-age environment, which has been a great fit for our son. The space itself is multi-story, and thoughtfully designed. They also make great use of their backyard space, which is impressive for a Midtown location and the pricing is on par with other daycares in the area. The location is convenient, and I've never had an issue finding parking for drop-off or pick-up. I highly recommend Art Beast to any family looking for a creative, nurturing, and well-structured play-based daycare.

Not…read moreto brag but he was their first student so I think that is a pretty good qualification in rating this place. Our experience with this program has been nothing but love. They genuinely care for the children, and create a safe place both physically and emotionally. There are so many activities offered throughout the day so the kids never get bored. My initial fear in putting my child into a new environment was quickly quieted once I met all the wonderful teachers. The actual space is beautiful as there are activities designated to different areas of the facility. These include: mud kitchen in the backyard, art on the main floor, dance studio upstairs, fire truck room, and plenty of comfy corners to read a book, just to name a few! If you're on the fence I recommend at least taking a tour of the preschool. You won't find a more inclusive and welcoming space elsewhere. My family has had a wonderful experience, and we look forward to many more memories to be had at ArtBeast.

She texted back saying she could no longer take my daughter for her personal reasons. While I understand things come up in life to give a potential client/family the confirmation and take their deposit just to cancel only when they message you is unprofessional. I was able to make things work but what if I had no other options. We had this arrangement for almost a month. Was very excited for my daughter to go here. Staff seemed nice. Pricing was good. All professional encounters until the last. But maybe it's for the best if she's willing to back out of a commitment 2 days before it starts. Also hours are not up to date. If you don't pick up your child at 5:30 it's 1$ for every minute you're late.
