My infant son joined roughly around 7.5 month and after 6 months we decided to pull him out because the Director was never consistent with what she told us. We found a new child care center that values families and the well being of my child. It's frustrating because as a parent it's your job to advocate for your child but we felt like we had no voice when it came to the matter of our child , at their facility so we had no choice but to move him . I will say the infant teachers are wonderful however our experience with management is why we left.

Both of my children attend The Children's Workshop in Smithfield. My oldest has attended since she…read morewas a year old and my youngest has attended since he was three months old. I genuinely like all of the teachers at the school, including the Director Miss Kristin and assistant director Mr. Brent. I'm going to focus this review on the infant teachers because, as mom, I find myself most worrying about my baby. Since my daughter had already been in many of the classrooms when my son started, I was VERY confident that I was leaving my new baby in great hands when I had to return to work. The head teacher Miss Laura was the same head teacher than my daughter had so I was familiar and very comfortable with her. My son had colic during his first few months and a milk protein sensitivity. When I explained all of this to Miss Laura she listened carefully and that gave me reassurance that my son would be properly cared for. After about a week, one of the other infant teachers Miss Brianna, showed me a new way to hold my son that helped calm him down when he was colicky and in pain. My husband and I will forever refer to this as the "Brianna hold". All three teachers (Miss Laura, Miss Kailey, and Miss Brianna) show a personal connection with my son and my older daughter even though she isn't in their class. We have been working on teaching my son to crawl lately. By "we" I mean me, my husband, my daughter (she's a great big sister helper!), and all three teachers. Earlier this week, I saw a video that they took for me of my son Army crawling!! One of the special parts about this video, which they may not have even realized, was how involved and excited all three teachers were! One was holding the camera, one was on the ground and encouraging my son to reach and crawl for a toy, the other teacher was on the sidelines with another baby and cheering on my son. All three were giving him the encouragement he needed to work on this new skill! The Children's Workshop isn't just a day care. Even at this early age, TCW is an educational institution working with our children to help them grow to age appropriate milestones! We even get reports home each month explaining which milestones my son reached and what he goals are for the next month: holding his own bottle, feeding himself food, learning how to use utensils or a sippy cup, crawling, walking, waving, etc. These teachers aren't just "teachers". They are friends and caring adults who I trust completely to help my son grow mentally, physically, and emotionally!

Our family has been part of the community at Cadence Smithfield since 2022 and we currently have…read moretwo students enrolled. We feel fortunate to have a place to bring our kids where they are safe and have fun. Teachers come and go, which can be frustrating, but it is somewhat expected in this industry, and we have always felt that the various teachers truly cared about our children. There was a period of high turnover where the director and assistant director left that we considered going elsewhere, but by the time we could get in anywhere, things settled down and the school got a new director. Since Jason has been at the helm, the school has never looked better and we have seen lots of improvements. We feel confident about the school under his leadership. The only other drawback about this school is the co$$$t, but it sure is nice not to have to pack a lunch or snacks which are included. I am always impressed with the arts and crafts done in the toddler rooms and also appreciate how often the children get out in the fresh air when possible. I have hundreds of adorable pics I have gotten in daily updates through the years but there were very few I could share while being mindful of privacy.

They allowed my child to get bullied by other children and let the kid stay in school because the…read moreparents of the child are "going through things" but that seems to be a personal problem... this kid would throw mulch at her, spit while the kids eat, swear around the kids and MUCH more. Some times they wouldn't even witness the bullying my child and things that would be done.. my child would come home and tell me and then they try to find out what went on after the fact... if the teachers are hearing or seeing, what the hell are they doing?! Lori is quite a shitty person, she's the director. She's hardly even there to knows what in the world is going on with the place. So I called LICENSING ON THEM AND LICENSING TOLD ME TO CALL CHILD NEGLECT!!! As other people said there is a HUGE disconnect between the staff there. It's honestly sad. PLEASE DONT BRING YOUR KIDS HERE. I honestly feel bad allowing my daughter to stay in this kind of environment. Kayla is honestly the only genuine person there and it just shows through how she is with the kids . Everyone else seems like they have no children experience. There's an isabel that works there as well and she's terrible. A little boy Malachi used to bully my daughter and other little kids. Why did this ISABEL ISOLATE MY CHILD... when clearly that child is the problem. And yes I seen it; it was during breakfast time when I first dropped her off and this boy kept bothering her and my daughter was moved to a table all alone... luckily another staff seen it and realized my daughter was alone and sat another student next to her. If you want unorganized this is the place to be.. you will always find a new person working with your child. And for my daughter I don't like that.

I received no phone call no contact at all no incident report nothing. I asked her teachers what happened they said "they never noticed anything" & then continued to tell me all these imaginary scenarios on how it could've gotten there. At the end of the day no one could tell me how it got there and all they could say was that they didn't notice anything and that she wasn't crying. Smh i spoke to jenn poole the director and all she could tell me was the same thing the teachers said that they didn't know how it got there & shes sorry. Lack of supervision is an understanding. No one was watching my child & no one working there could tell me how it happened. My child had that bruise for over a week. Im pretty sure my 2 year old was crying but they didn't notice anything. Do yourself a favor - Do not bring your child here.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this school. As a public school educator for the last 17…read moreyears and a certified reading specialist, I was extremely particular about the school that my child would attend. I knew that I wanted a school that practiced the Montessori philosophy with fidelity as it aligns with everything I have learned as best practices in my years of Orton-Gillingham training and graduate education in literacy development. The teachers at Montessori Children's House have the level of knowledge and expertise that I aspire to, and they are masters at their craft in every sense of the word. As a parent, I have seen how my five-year-old--who had been a reluctant learner--has learned how to read words, sentences, and books and write in cursive. She has been completing addition and subtraction problems with four-digit numbers as well as multiplication equations. She has learned about continents, countries, and cultures, with regular presentations on specific holidays such as Diwali in India, St. Lucia's Day in Sweden, St. Nicholas Day in Denmark, the Lunar New Year in China, Purim, Holi, and the Bengali New Year delivered by class parents to name a few. My child has held a snake and eventually, the snake's babies, while also caring for guinea pigs and raising chicks and butterflies. She studies Spanish vocabulary, creative movement, sewing, weaving, and painting. While this school offers a phenomenal academic education, the lessons they offer in grace and courtesy, executive functioning skills like planning, organization, goal setting, sustained focus and attention, and self-management (tenets that are built into the Montessori approach) are invaluable. I know in my heart of hearts, as an educator, that this type of education could have impacted my own students' lives greatly, and it has been one of the greatest opportunities that I have been able to give to my child; I know that this school is setting her up for academic, social, and emotional success long-term. Perhaps my favorite aspect of this school, however, is the tight-knit community that we have here. My child has made friends with children who are kind, curious, imaginative, joyful, and from countries all around the world. The parents are equally kind, curious, and joyful, and we have enjoyed many school events at local parks conversing and nurturing our children together. Enrolling your child in this school is an investment in their future that is truly priceless.
