I would trust the owner's Jack and Emily with anything to do with my daughter, they are like family. And not only that, the kids are LEARNING. At her age, my daughter knows her ABC's, can count to 15, and is, according to her pediatrician, very advanced for her age. I attribute this directly to her school, as every child in the two year old class exhibits these behaviors, so it is something they are doing, not just coincidence.

This Y is close and super convenient to my home. I enjoy coming here for the indoor walk/jogging…read moretrack, gym, and indoor pool. It is an older facility so the locker room and shower area is show its age. But all in all it's an ok place to get in a little exercise. The regular one person per month rate at this time is $67, which is steep. But I pay it for the convenience to my home and the pretty good indoor pool.

Very dissatisfied with the way they are running the Pickleball group now . We became members for a…read morereason and enjoyed the fun intermediate players Stan and others brought to the Y and in fact joined because of that reason ! When they brought the PB instructor who will be not named , he allowed non members to come and play on Wednesday nights for $5.00 and opened it to all.. okay so whatever. Then it moved to outside PB off Bells Ferry , 2 weeks ago had 66 people , only 6 Y members. Today 5 non members came and ruined the play for our usual Mon, Wed, Fri group.. yes it was a great group all members of equal intermediate skill levels. We were also told they can play for $5.00 .. okay so they can come and play for $5.00 but if we bring our grandkids, they charge $25.00 each to use the pool. Hmm Whats wrong with that picture! Amazing how they think allowing non members to play , especially on Mon , Wed, Fri slots where we have plenty of members .. Real NICE... NOT!

My daughters attended the facility almost two years. The basics are cost ~$220/week they included…read morediapers. They have lots of toys. Breakfast and lunch is provided and they have around 15:1 student teacher ratio. Before the pandemic the care was much better my daugther loved Ms. Celostia and Ms. Carrie she spoke about them everyday. But, you get what you pay for essentially. After the pandemic, my daugther experienced more biting incidents scratches, and safety hazards like constant falling. The final straw was picking her up after a 11 hour day she immediately complained about her pee pee. She was grabbing and screaming it. I took her home and changed her diaper to find dirt, soggy broken Elisa pamper pull-up from that morning, strong urine odor, and a horrible diaper rash. I checked the daily report there was on update of a changed diaper at 4:11pm (not true). The daycare uses Luv's pampers. They were potty training 30 kids using 2 potty's from my understanding. But the timeframes don't add up. I called the daycare they claimed she was dry for 11 hours!!! Even with that argument the severity of her rash and the smell I should have been called from work how bad it was. I rushed her to Children's Hospital Urgent Care on Chastain Rd. They had to take a urine sample and she was diagnosed with UTI and was on antibiotics and a steroid rash cream for a week. She creamed in agony at the hospital just two hours from leaving daycare of her pee pee burning and hurting. I had to leave work for a week to care for her. The new teachers hired need to make sure they really watch they children bottoms. She is fine now but we decided it was not a good fit for her anymore.

We love our Dogwood Hills family. I currently have a child in the Pre-k program, he loves it and…read morehis teachers are great. Both of my children have been going to Dogwood Hills Academy for several years now and could not have asked for a better experience. When you walk into the facility it is clean and organized and you are always greeted with a smiling face. We love it!!!

Literally one of the worst daycares I have ever taken my kids to. HERES A COUPLE OF THE MANY…read moreREASONS: 1. They ignored my NEWBORN child when she threw up on herself so often she had to have 2 medicated creams to help with the infection it caused on her ears. When brought up to the daycare director Stephanie- SHE DID NOTHING. Instead my kids were asked to leave the daycare facility. That teacher is still in the infant room! 2. They never called me when my children were sick - EVER - instead I came to pick my child up and she was naked in the corner of the room covered in vomit crying - they gave her milk knowing she was allergic. When asked they denied but told the other co workers and was eventually told to me that my child was given milk. When brought up to the director Stephanie- SHE DID NOTHING! 3. The director kept double charging my daycare fees and said that wasn't being paid properly. And I had to fight tooth and nail to get a refund. 4. I walked in to the class to drop my kids and watched big kids in the infant room pulling infants hair out and pelting METAL water bottles at other kids heads (and the little girl was begging them to stop crying on the floor screaming) and again the teacher did NOTHING and let them beat her up- and said oh they're okay. I HAVE SO MANY HORROR STORIES FROM THAT PLACE PLEASE DO NOT TAKE YOUR KIDS THERE!!! Literally anywhere else works better than here!

We're happy for the future, as we know that our children have been provided with the absolute BEST preparation for school, but also sad that this chapter in our lives has concluded. Donna, the director and owner, is hands on, and know both the children and their families personally. She, and her amazing team of teachers, have built an environment that is not only an educational extended family, but is also Christ centered. Each of our children thrived while at CPEL, and they have been tremendously successful in their school lives that have followed. I give this institution the highest possible rating! Clean, Courteous, and honestly loving of our children and family, they have been everything we could have ever wanted in a preschool, and we have ZERO regrets.
