We couldn't ask for a better learning environment. One of the most impressive things is how much she has learned in such a short time. Within her very first week in the VPK classroom, she learned how to spell her name! Seeing her growth and excitement for learning has been incredible. I highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a nurturing, engaging, and educational environment for their child.

Honestly I'm just grateful and 100 percent recommend this school.

From my very first call, Ms. Tomeka, the head of school, was incredible and made me feel confident about enrolling my daughter. She began in the Nido classroom and has since transitioned to the toddler room, where all of her guides have been nothing short of amazing. Our daughter is genuinely excited to go to school each day, most mornings she runs right into the classroom! The guides and school leadership are warm, communicative, and always quick to answer any questions we have. We've seen our daughter grow, learn, and thrive so much, and we truly have Guidepost to thank for that

We experienced schools in the area called "Montessori" and are nothing but the opposite. Ms Tomeka had done a fantastic job with this school. All the staff are well trained and educated in Montessori methods. We've seen our little one grow and become more independent that we could have imagined at such a young age. Not to mention the amount of love and care from the teachers towards the kids and us as parents. I highly recommend this school.

We get updates all day of our kiddos that is inclusive of potty times, what they ate, pictures and videos of activities, and messages as needed. I am so happy with the staff and quality of care my babies are receiving. Thank you Rain River! We love you!

My son attended Turtle Tots from the time he was 3 months old until he was 3 years old. Shortly…read moreafter his 3rd birthday I discovered that the daycare had made well over $7,000 in unauthorized charges to my credit card that the daycare had on file. The daycare admitted the charges were unauthorized. However, when I asked the owner to refund the money they initially told me that they did not have the funds available to refund me for the unauthorized charges and they asked if I would accept credits for future services until the amounts were repaid. I rejected that offer & requested immediate reimbursement. After several weeks of calls & emails seeking reimbursement, the daycare finally reimbursed me for over $7k of the unauthorized charges. I (like most parents) want to make sure that my children are at a daycare I know I can trust and where my kids are safe. After this incident I personally no longer felt like I could trust Turtle Tots so I chose to withdraw my children. I will note that we loved my son's teacher - Ms. Jeanette. She was great and our son adored her but given the circumstances we felt that we had no choice to pull our children from turtle tots. I do not think the teachers had anything to do with the unauthorized charges but again, given the circumstances I did not feel comfortable leaving my children there.

I strongly caution any parent considering Castle Brook Academy. The environment often felt…read morestressful rather than nurturing, and some staff interactions with children were rough or inappropriate. Screens and videos are used everyday with children of all ages, including infants. The facility does not have cameras, making it hard to know what's happening throughout the day.
