I love the ambiance, the staff, the love, and the support this school has shown since my daughter…read morehas been attending. The staff is awesome and leaves an everlasting impression on you from the very 1st moment your child enters the school until their graduation day. My daughter has been attending since January 2022 and she has loved every minute of going to school there. She has grown a love for school which shocked me cause in the beginning she only cried everyday, now she has to know is today a school day or not school day. When she started, I was asked what I was looking for in a school? I said not a babysitter, but a place my child will come and learn and that she has done throughtout her time there.

I have worked at Carrington Academy in Braselton since we opened in June of 2018. I have also…read moreworked at the Suwanee location and the Windermere location. So basically I've been working for Carrington Academy since 2010. I did take a hiatus for a year and half because my husband got transferred out of state and I hated leaving the place that I loved to work with and all my parents and kids, but I had no choice. I came back in April of 2018 and I really have no reason to leave. I love my principal and all the teachers that works there are amazing and we have the best parents and the most amazing kids that I have ever known. I have been working with the infants for 9 years and been with the babies since we opened in June 2018. Love my babies and the parents and my co workers in the infants/toddlers. Wouldn't change anything.

Horrible, just horrible. They had no idea my child was hurt , several times not just once .. they…read morewould say , we will review the tape .. ok great so it's a free-for-all and if your kid gets hurt no one notices and when you ask about it they will look at the tape. Then then they will clam your child walks into walls and door by themselves (only at school). Too we pulled her for her own safety

20/20 is hindsight here... this is lengthy…read more In mid-July of 2019, a foster child was placed in my home. You can imagine my anxiety and stress at the time, but when I got a call from Cynthia saying that I can enroll my kiddo in their GA Pre-K program, it was such a relief. Paperwork completed, court docs submitted to the school, hastey orientation/open house provided... the school year was rocky, but with a lot of patience and support from Ms. Lisa and Binal, we made it through to March 2020... COVID 19. Honestly, Ms. Lisa and Binal are why I am giving two stars instead of just one. Bright from the Start categorizes our students based upon their socio economic status and needs. This is done behind the scene's and is the provider's responsibility to request adequate documentation and properly categorize the kids when reporting to the state. Needless to say, my foster child was miscategorized. I was charged monthly for meals which the state/federal gov would have provided at no expense to me, if this clerical error did not occur. I found this out when applying for much needed aid during this pandemic. Again, due to this error, my Child did not qualify. I spoke with the DOE along with the Department of Human Services, and because the reports were submitted in error, there is no way to correct my student's record. After finding all of this out, I requested a full refund and the value of the aid lost. I emailed Tiffany, Brittney, Cynthia and their Bright from the Start Rep. I followed up, requesting a corporate contact... no response. I contacted the corporate office's generic number and recruiter and left messages. After a month of no response, I emailed the CEO and CFO of Spring Education, whose name I pulled from the secretary of state's website, along with the school administrators. I FINALLY received a response. This response was from corporate's counsel & yes, all blame is being put on me. I didn't provide the documents needed to properly categorize my Child, and apparently, I was asked "repeatedly" for it. A blatant lie. If you are thinking of enrolling in the GA Pre-K Program here and your Child has an IEP or is on MediCaid, do not. The administrators of the school are not familiar with the services available and are clueless when it comes to Public Education Programs.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ms. Rani and Ms. Sravanthi. My son recently started at…read morethis school, and as any parent would understand, both he and I were nervous about transitioning to a completely new environment. Thanks to these incredible teachers, that transition has been nothing short of seamless. From day one, they welcomed him with warmth, patience, and genuine care. They've created an environment where he feels comfortable, supported, and excited to learn every day. Seeing him come home happy, engaged, and confident has been such a relief as a parent. I no longer carry that "mom guilt" because I know he's in a safe, nurturing, and high-quality learning space. This school truly has amazing teachers and maintains a very high standard of care and curriculum. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent looking for a place where their child will thrive. Thank you, Ms. Rani and Ms. Sravanthi, for making such a positive impact on our lives. My son is happy because of you, and for that, I'm truly grateful.

worst daycare the don't sanitize , my toddler caught with…read moretoo many sickness once he started this facility. the front desk people has no concern or respect towards parents . they look down on us. i see all the kids in my sons class room with runny nose , the Teachers don't clean it, kids wipe it all over their clothes and face, they touch and wipe it on toys (easy way to spread the germs) . that class room always has foul smell in it, I doubt that they sanitize the classroom and toys . my son had sickness with high fever and cold wheezing all the time. We went to pediatrician more than 4 times every month when he was there. As a conclusion, it's like paying to get sickness and meeting disrespectfu/ignoring people. i blame myself to choose this facility. And i put my older kid in different daycares, I never had this issue.

My children attended Kids R Kids (Cumming) for 8 months and I was really disappointed with the poor…read moreand often disengaged management, money focused owners, and consistently dissatisfied staff. The classes were overcrowded and they were unable to retain staff due in large part to their poor management. My child was enrolled in private pre-k (smaller ratio class and more perks/education than Georgia pre-k) but it was brought to my attention, by current and former employees, that the private pre-k teacher also had to consistently watch preschoolers in her class due to understaffed rooms. They consistently overcharged and I had to communicate the error each time. The field trips for students were not geared toward educational value. The consensus and reputation this facility held (by parents and current/former staff) is that new enrollment is their top priority, not the well-being of currently enrolled students. They will not move your child to the next level (when they reach the correct age to move up) unless you harass them to do so. I have witnessed staff yell harshly at children (at various times of drop off and pick up) and be stingy with school material (e.g. coloring pages, snacks, etc.). My children are enrolled in a new child care center and are thriving; learning more than they did at Kids R Kids. I am amazed by the happy staff who greet me whenever they see me, and the eager teachers who want to tell me about my child's daily progress. I never received this interaction at Kids R Kids (Cumming). I had to initiate communication with staff and consistently ask about their progress... I hate to post such a negative post about a childcare but I think it's important people are aware of this facility and not be blinded by how nice and modern the facility looks, as those were two things that won me over; I wish I had heard about people's experience before I enrolled my children at Kids R Kids (Cumming).

This is a decent preschool..... if your child is a perfect little angel and has no health…read morechallenges or anything else of the sort. TL;DR. Don't waste your time here. They are sweet and efficient but have no idea how to deal with less than perfect kids. We put our 4 yr old kiddo in this preschool this year, hoping for a chance at some normalcy for this child who had already been through 9 surgeries, several of them open heart. Kiddo has been by all means a miracle child and has absolutely been through it. We discussed in depth with doctors, therapists, etc before making the decision to send him to school as the right decision. However, as expected, kiddo got sick a bit more than the other kids as kiddos immune system isn't as strong. They have strict sick policy, which we respect and understand. At the end of October, we have our first conference. Nothing is mentioned except an issue with answering to kiddos name and acknowledging direction. Nothing new. Nothing mentioned about "educational value." Fast forward to several weeks before Thanksgiving and sickness is going around. The normal kids are recovering in days, it' takes our kiddo a week to consider sending him back. We try it, and end up having to come get kiddo. We are asked to keep kiddo home until the cough is completely gone. We finally send kiddo back after Thanksgiving and 3 school days later, these people have the audacity to message and say kiddo is not getting " any educational value" and would like us to remove kiddo from class. Zero mention of this at the conference. Zero in the hundreds of messages they send weekly. They find a way to say "we can't handle your kiddo , even though we said we could" They even tried to tell us how we should be parenting and thought we should "consider therapy." Do you not listen? Doctors and therapists are who we consulted with to decide to send him to preschool!! Also, it's your job to GIVE every child the educational value. Something every educator in your preschool should be able to do. Educational value is all on the teacher ‍‍We were thinking about sending our 2 year old next year. But thanks for saving us money and showing how bottom of the barrel your preschool is! Why did you say you would take kiddo on when we disclosed from the very first time we contacted your school that he had some health challenges. Why Lie?!?! Stay away from this scam of a preschool. On the bright side their drop off is about as efficient as Chick Fil A .... So I guess

This is a lovely preschool--the staff and teachers are so caring with the children. I never had to…read moreworry about the safety of my preschooler (who has food allergies) and she absolutely loved the two classes she attended (3s and 4s)!
