The Children's Courtyard has been a fantastic experience for my granddaughter who started attending…read morewhen she was about 7 weeks old and is now 16 months. The staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in the kids' growth. My child is always excited to come in each morning, which says a lot. The classrooms are clean and organized, and the teachers keep a great balance between learning and play. I appreciate the consistent communication--daily updates, photos, and quick responses whenever I have a question. It gives me real peace of mind. Most importantly, I can see how much my granddaughter has grown since starting here. The team creates a safe, encouraging environment where kids feel confident and cared for. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a trustworthy, positive place for their child!

I am deeply disappointed and concerned. My child has been…read moreattending this facility for quite some time, and the recent dismissal of Ms. Candice, one of the most loving, nurturing teachers, is nothing short of heartbreaking. To say I'm upset is an understatement. As a parent, my top priority is the care, safety, and emotional well-being of my child--and right now, I have serious concerns. The decision made by Melissa, the director, feels cold and calculated. For her to dismiss such an impactful caregiver and then deflect responsibility as if it wasn't her call is beyond unacceptable. Let's be honest--this is a daycare, not a corporation. These are real children with real emotional needs, and parents who deserve transparency and honesty. Ms. Candice showed up for these kids every single day, even when she had personal things going on--because she cared. You don't just replace that kind of heart. What's worse is that when issues are brought to Melissa's attention, she acts like she's going to address them--but nothing changes. Kids are no longer being nurtured. Hygiene standards are slipping. And still, we're expected to pay premium rates? Parents deserve better. Our children deserve better.

In addition, I'd like to know what is actually being taught in Pre k here? My child was previously…read moreenrolled in a Children's Courtyard where she had 10* worksheets and several different paper crafts they would make in her folder that she would bring home every Friday. They had journals; the teacher would have a sentence written on the board before class begins daily and the students would copy it, using the finger space method to space out the words. This place does not use worksheets at nor are they practicing writing their names or anything else. They are not practicing holding pencils or writing ANYTHING!!! In three weeks of attendance, she brought home ONE picture she had drawn- ONE!!!. Granted, she missed a couple days during her time enrolled here, I refuse to believe they were actually doing any kind of schoolwork on those days my child happened to not be there. I thought I'd be able to rely on this school, however it is hardly a school; it's a kiddy jail with a pre k teacher that doesn't have patience and screaming is the only way she can try to keep control of the classroom. I may lose patience with my little one at home from time to time, however I will not PAY someone else to do it on a daily basis. I confronted the teacher about this on my daughter's second day, repeating to her what my daughter had told me. She admitted " Yes, I do scream, I do get loud with them, but I always apologize though." Excuse me!!! WHYYY are you screaming at 4 & 5 year olds!?!?! Mind blowing!!! I am in agreement with the other reviews that stated they had the feel that this place strictly about business. I would not be surprised if they are offering discounts for positive reviews, because ain't NO WAY!!!

I absolutely LOVE Love love this school!! We pulled our…read moredaughter from another daycare and brought her here because we liked their programming and more experienced teachers/staff; and truthfully because they pray over meals and I really wanted to have her have that experiences outside of our home. The other school "seemed" more modern & had fancy video system (which was good when our daughter was little and couldn't verbally tell us about her day), but truly what i learned was a video doesn't stop a mean/scary teacher in action and you cant rewind. However, the children spot provides lots of picture it didn't have a camera to watch the children at home-- but you're welcomed to come & watch from their office if you ever want to come in (which i never needed to because the disposition of my child was better now) . My child is MUCH happier here & learning more here at the children spot. She does hands on activities, tracing & projects (besides coloring all day long as she seemingly did in the other school). She's in love with her teacher "Ms. Missy" and all the staff. I also love the various discounts they offer for military and educators. I highly recommend this place for any parent due to our amazing experience.

‼‼WARNING: DANGEROUS DAYCARE‼‼…read more I had to remove my 5-year-old son from this daycare due to repeated physical and emotional abuse from his teacher, Ms. Carole. My son used to refer to her as his "ANGRY" teacher because she would constantly yell at him, call him names, and make him feel small. I began noticing changes in his behavior and, after gently asking him questions, he opened up about the mistreatment. He told me that Ms. Carole would hit him on his arms and legs, mock him about his backpack, saying it was dirty and making him hide it so it wouldn't be seen. Even more heartbreaking, she made fun of his eczema--a condition he struggles with daily. I immediately reported this to the Director, Ms. Vanessa, but instead of addressing the abuse, she brushed it off. She told me that my son "probably just doesn't want to be here" and suggested that I remove him--which I did. I am devastated that my child had to endure this. What's worse is that Ms. Carole is STILL employed there. Why? This place is not just unsanitary and unprofessional--it's toxic. The environment feels cult-like among the staff, and it's clear the teachers are overworked and underpaid. I'm sharing this so other parents are aware. Protect your children. Trust your gut. If something feels off, it probably is. I would have put no starts but that wasn't a choice!

PARENT PLEASE READ BEFORE BRINGING YOUR KIDS TO THIS DAYCARE!!! As a mother, this has been one of…read morethe most upsetting experiences I've had with childcare. I had previously spoken to management about concerns with constant reports over minor things involving my children. After that conversation, the environment toward me changed. I wasn't being greeted in the morning carol and Melanie both managers would look me in the face and not say anything. I don't know the reason of the change when I only addressed my concerns regarding my kids. The following week after I raised concerns, my 2-year-old daughter was injured while in their care and her arm was dislocated (nursemaid's elbow). I was later told that a toddler teacher, Leilani, had pulled my child by the arm, which led to the injury. What is most concerning is that I was never notified at the time of the incident, and no one informed me when I picked her up. I only realized something was wrong after noticing my child in pain myself. I called the daycare to find out what happened they then told me they had an incident report but did not notify me. The next day, when I went back to address the situation, the director, Carol, stated that they brought my daughter to the front, iced her arm, and moved it around, and claimed she showed no signs of pain so they didn't believe it was serious. However, that does not align with what I witnessed. My child was clearly in pain, when I attempted to move her arm, she cried. She was also walking around holding her arm, which should have been a clear sign something was wrong. I was then told by Melanie that the toddler teacher Leilani called in sick. I know that is not true. The daycare is hiding something and wanted to save the teacher and keep her from saying anything that didn't align with what the director told me happened. They also claim they can't go back on the cameras. My child was left for approximately 2-3 hours with a dislocated arm without me being notified. As a parent, that is extremely alarming and unacceptable. This lack of communication and accountability is deeply concerning. Parents deserve honesty and immediate notification when their child is hurt.
