Me and my wife were going to service this care facility but after paying a application fee, we were not completely sure if our child was accepted for care. We called 4 times to receive a complete answer but every time we spoke with someone they told us that the application wasn't found, that they would have to refer us to the director which isn't available at the time. After receiving the run around for a month, I apply for a refund for the application fee since no one could give us a clear answer on if we were accepted or not, or why they couldn't find our application. The director calls me to confront me about the refund not even to reassure me that my child was accepted for care. She goes on to argue with me for 10 minutes telling me that my experience was not my experience until I hung up on her. Definitely feel like me and my family dodged a bullet after dealing with the obstinate director. read more

I was referred to DCA by another parent. I enrolled My children ages one and three at the time back in August of 2018 and every since I have watch my kids thrive. My son's teacher is great. She's very nurturing and you can tell she genuinely cares for the kids. With some recommendations from his teacher, my son's writing is much better. As well as his math skills, letter recognition, and spelling. I'm very pleased and feel my child is on course of flourishing when he starts kindergarten. My daughter is talking more, able to identify shapes, colors and some letters and numbers. In summary, no place is perfect but I'm very pleased with all that the teachers do to prepare our kids. read more

This daycare staff and ownership is horrible. The man and lady that own it are just plain mean folks. First of all, they charge $110 per week, even for summer camp! You have to pay $17 for their embroidered shirts and you have to buy at least 3 of them. You have to pay for a supplies fee, also. The staff are a bunch of ghetto girls, most of them are relatives. There's never anywhere to park. If you are running even 1 minute late in the evenings, they will charge you a $25 late fee. Also, they ride around those vans without even buckling the seatbelts on those little kids. Keep looking, there are a lot of better places to send your children! read more

I loved Desoto Children's Academy. My children were in the 2 and 4 year old classes. The staff took such good care of my children and gave the challenging work that was above their age/grade level. The summer camp was awesome and my 4 year old loved it! We had to stop attending because of distance but we would have stayed if we could. Everyone knew my children by name and felt like family. read more
