Swiftly. But of course you can not trust just anyone with your babies. Our little one is very cautious when meeting new people. She's reserved. And not open at all to being around strangers. She's never been around a group of little ones or teachers alone. So this was super new for her and us. Of course for the first day-week she cried when we left her there. But as the first week was coming to a close we noticed a major difference. She started talking about her "friends" and she wanted to "go see the kids". Oh and her teacher...Ms. Janay! She is THE BEST! And she loves Ms. Keisha! All of the staff are kind hearted. Respectful. Welcoming. Loving. The right people you would want taking care of your child when you are not around. Also, and this may not mean much for some...but this facility is the most diverse facility I visited when shopping for childcare. I believe this is important and was indeed the biggest factor in our little brown girl feeling safe and secure. There were people there that looked like her own family at home. I can't thank them enough.

I have four children and they have all attended Cadence Academy. My oldest 2 completed the Jr. K…read moreprogram and were very well prepared for kindergarten. My youngest 2 still attend. The teachers in the minnows room are gentle and loving. They work with the babies to do fun arts and crafts, teach them sign language, and cuddle and love them. My baby has never had a need that was not met. She is happy and excited when I drop her off at school. She's attended since 8 weeks and I've never once had a complaint. My 2 year old also attends Cadence. His teachers have the patience of saints. Toddlers are not always easy, and though I've seen quite a few outbursts from the kids as toddlers will do, I've never once seen a teacher raise her voice or lose patience. They love the kids and teach them structure, love, and acceptance. Ms. Kayla and Ms. Jessica in particular have been wonderful with my son and have worked with him and with us tirelessly during the "joys" of potty training. I recommend this place 100% and love it so much that we drive a half an hour each way just so my kids can attend. If you want a loving environment with values and education, this is the place to be.

I was very disappointed in the daycare I put my daughter in. My kids teacher "Trish" was a great…read moreteacher, but overall the daycare does not have their stuff together and I knew that the moment when they were loosing staff and texting and asking parents if they knew anyone who would like to be apart of their staff. Not to mention I was given an incident report stating my kid was so sleepy she tripped over a chair and hit her face on the leg of the chair. After asking for the footage of the incident the story was changed and the video absolutely broke my heart! The video showed the float teacher looking over at her as she was climbing into of the table where THERE WAS A CHAIR SITTING ON TOP OF THE TABLE (near a bookshelf) and she climbed on top of the chair and the chair tipped over and she busted her face on the bookshelf and had to get her face glued because of the lack of safety and teacher not paying attention. The coordinators apologized to me and stated they were going to reprimand the teacher. When I brought my kid back after some healing on the face the float teacher (that was in the room of the accident) did not once ask how my daughter was doing, apologize, and was still watching kids. After that another incident report was made and I just couldn't take it anymore. I gave them a week notice of my daughters last day. The day before her last day (which ended up being her last day) my daughter was experiencing watery diarrhea and I was never informed. She did not have a diaper rash or diarrhea before I sent my kid to daycare that day! When my kids father went to pick her up from daycare she was sitting on the floor bawling and not running to dad like she usually does. When he asked what's wrong the float teacher stated she took something away from her so that's why she's crying or not moving. He immediately smelled something from her diaper and when he took her home she was in diarrhea diaper that caused a horrible diaper rash and sores all ofher private! My child could not walk properly because she was in so much pain!!! How could you treat kids like this? THIS DAYCARE NEEDS TO DO BETTER!!

When my child was in 4th grade, she was diagnosed with ADHD. The teachers gave zero accommodations which would be fine for a public school, but they overcharged me and undereducated my kids. Forcing kids to do the pledge after they had cited their discomfort with it is not only disrespectful, but its a disturbing breach of the childs rights. When my child argued back, she was told by many a teacher, "you lost your rights the second you walked through that door." That is appalling, and afterwards her backpack was SEARCHED by teachers. they looked through her private journal and pushed her about it until they forced her to apologize to the teacher and didnt make the teacher apologize. She had loads of other issues such as overreactive teachers (giving IN SCHOOL SUSPENSION for playing mobile games in class) teachers who will NOT acknowledge or accommodate childrens needs (forcing them to do terrible math work that just tanked my childs grades and instead of telling her about her grades, they told her to work harder instead of them doing their jobs and working harder to either help her understand or give her something she understands) they also offered almost no choice in classes and when there was infighting the teachers didnt get themselves involved, saying they should figure it out on their own. My child got severe depression, trying to commit suicide and the school did nothing to prevent this other than a lousy talk that didnt help the kids. DO NOT WASTE MONEY ON THIS SCHOOL UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR CHILD TO BE DEPRESSED!!!
