No parent would blindly put their child back to school unless they truly trusted the school and felt their child was placed in safe hands. Wearing two hats as a parent at one school, and being part of the school administration at another has allowed me to see the genuine care and commitment from both perspectives. I know there will be risks. Witnessing the huge levels of preparation however, honestly gives me confidence that as a community, we are doing our part by pulling together to put our children's well-being, health and development first. From: - stringent health and safety protocols - training for teachers (incl. safety and technical) - to investments made so our children can continue their education in safer conditions are just some of the things that I've been impressed with and am proud to be part of. I am grateful for ABC Day School in being a constant for us in trying times. Thank you! #ABCdayschool

Every time I pick up my daughter she is happy to see me but is always also a little sad to leave as she doesn't want to miss out on all the fun! That's always a great sign :). The teachers take their jobs seriously and always show lots of love to the kids with every interaction I've seen. It's by far the best day care / preschool we've experienced and we've been to 4 now since we've moved twice and we had a negative experience at 1. They have cameras which is nice to be able to tune in at any time and provides a lot of trust. Every time I do check out what they're doing I'm impressed! Overall, Carpe Diem's done an amazing job and they've also adapted well to the evolving COVID situation taking all necessary precautions. I highly recommend.

Oh how I wish I could give this place NEGATIVE stars!…read more My daughter started attending this place when she was less than a year old (August 2022). I had a friend whose daughter was in the Kindergarten class and had nice things to say about it. My husband and I toured it and I didn't get warm fuzzies right away from the director, Connie, but we moved forward with the enrollment process because we needed child care asap. Right away we did tell the director that our daughter has multiple severe food allergies and we filled out all the appropriate paperwork and provided her benadryl and epi-pen right away. FIRST INCIDENT: Not even two months after enrollment, we picked up my daughter on a Friday and after an hour being home she started breaking out in hives everywhere. She didn't have anything to eat at home. My husband had to give her the epi-pen. Right away, I sent an email to the director and let her know what happened. Connie let us know that her normal teachers weren't in the class that day, it could have been possible that someone gave her something she wasn't supposed to have. Of course by Monday the people we talked to couldn't remember if she ate something. The learning moment from that was that a teacher would sit by her at every meal/snack. My daughter was in the older infant class and we liked her teachers in there, never had problems. It wasn't until the summer of this year problems started happening. She moved into the younger toddler class, her teachers in there were also nice and loving to the students. This summer the owner decided to sell their Castle Montessori to Cadence Education. The director, Connie, left and the admin left not long after her. The new director, Ms. Nilima, was not approachable and very cold in those first weeks, maybe up to a month. She never made eye contact when my daughter and I entered the building. How could you not acknowledge who enters the building, especially at a child care facility?! During the summer we enrolled my Kindergartener here for their summer program. WORST program ever! We paid weekly tuition that was supposed to include weekly field trips, which some were cancelled due to the weather but nothing was every rescheduled. It was a waste of money. The final straw was when my daughter had ANOTHER allergic reaction!!! They claimed that she woke up in hives, ok, the director called us multiple times (I work in an area where I can't have my phone with me), she didn't leave my husband and I voicemails. My husband called back and the person on the phone just asked if they can give my daughter benadryl and of course he said yes. He decided to go to the school and they did NOTHING. She was covered in hives, she should have been given her epi-pen based on the emergency plan we provided. Ms. Nilima wasn't around, and my daughter was in her classroom, with her teachers putting her eczema lotion on her. She should have at least been at the front office being monitored for anaphylaxis. Multiple emails were exchanged after this incident. The director's responses were just appalling, with no empathy, and thinking she knows better than what a doctor says to do in an emergency. We pulled her out immediately, there was NO WAY we could trust this place every again. We had a meeting with the director a few days after the incident, she finally apologized and took full responsibility. She mentioned her staff will go through more training, but the damage was done. We demanded our full deposit back and never looked back. What really got me fired up was when I asked the director if they were going to self report themself to the state regarding this incident. Her response was no because an ambulance or ER visit didn't occur....WTF?!?!? Herself and the staff was clearly not capable of handling the situation.....or reading an emergency plan and FOLLOWING it. Honestly, I hope every parent reads this and stays far, far, away! This incident happened end of August this year and still makes my blood boil.

Huge shout out to Ms. Dani, who was always able to calm our son whenever he's fuzzy and put our mind at ease.

As a proud member of the unofficial Special Staff, I can confirm that Levine Academy is filled with…read moresome truly special people. Everyone here is specially gifted in their own unique way and the teachers aren't just teachers -- they're specialists. The smaller teacher-to-student ratio means students receive an incredible amount of individual attention, support and encouragement. The extra care given to each child is obvious from the moment you walk through the doors. And yes, with that level of care and attention to detail-- things occasionally involve thoughtful discussions, careful planning, another meeting and perhaps one more meeting just to discuss the previous meeting's findings. Excellence takes time specifically in this Special Environment. Of course, no review would be complete without mentioning Sal the Stallion, lovingly known by some as "Special Sal," proudly representing a community that's not afraid to celebrate what makes everyone unique. A great logo made by someone especially gifted! Five stars for the staff, the students, the families and the wonderfully special community they've built together. ¡L'Chaim! They're also ProTrans (transparency) and ProCult (culture). Rumor has it (I'm unofficially the only Special Suarez!)

As we prepare to say goodbye, it already feels incredibly emotional. What makes this school so special is the people. Every teacher and staff member genuinely knows and cares for each child and family. The thoughtfulness and consistency, year after year and across both of our kids, has been remarkable. Our children were given a joyful, confidence-building start, with the perfect balance of play and early academics. As we head to Greenhill School, we feel incredibly grateful for how well they've been prepared. We also found our community here. Some of our closest friendships started at this school, which says everything about the environment they've created. We are so grateful for these five years.

My girls started attending in preschool, and like many moms, I was anxious about the transition to a new school. We are Frisco residents and make the commute to Plano daily. CCDS immediately ensured the transition was seamless. We enrolled them in the summer day camp before the fall start, and they quickly fell in love with the staff and their peers. The teachers are excellent and are attentive, nurturing, and truly invested in each child. Both of my girls have grown tremendously, not only academically but also in confidence. The lesson plans are thoughtfully designed to build strong foundational skills and prepare students to become highly capable readers by the time they graduate. My only gripe is that the school doesn't go beyond kindergarten :( I'm genuinely sad it stops there! From the cleanliness of the bright classrooms to the enrichment classes offered and the nutritious meals provided, everything feels thoughtfully curated for my girls. They are excited to go to school each day and even more excited at pickup to tell me all about it. I can tell how loved they are because every staff member knows them by name and treats us like family. If you're looking for a loving place where your child can truly thrive, look no further!
