The whole staff here is lovely. They have a great curriculum and teacher/student ratio. My son loves coming here and I feel good knowing he is in great hands. He has a peanut allergy and they take every precaution to keep him safe. They have strict rules to keep the school peanut/nut free. I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for an early learning center.

As any first time mom my anxiety was a little high dropping her off woth essentially complete strangers for the first time ever. From the second I met the director Dale I knew this was the place for our daughter. She absolutely loves her teachers & looks forward to going to school. They have a great program & she has come so far from the beginning of the year. I feel that she will be more than ready for kindergarten in the fall thanks to the amazing professionals at greenville nursery school!!

Our family has been part of the community at Cadence Smithfield since 2022 and we currently have…read moretwo students enrolled. We feel fortunate to have a place to bring our kids where they are safe and have fun. Teachers come and go, which can be frustrating, but it is somewhat expected in this industry, and we have always felt that the various teachers truly cared about our children. There was a period of high turnover where the director and assistant director left that we considered going elsewhere, but by the time we could get in anywhere, things settled down and the school got a new director. Since Jason has been at the helm, the school has never looked better and we have seen lots of improvements. We feel confident about the school under his leadership. The only other drawback about this school is the co$$$t, but it sure is nice not to have to pack a lunch or snacks which are included. I am always impressed with the arts and crafts done in the toddler rooms and also appreciate how often the children get out in the fresh air when possible. I have hundreds of adorable pics I have gotten in daily updates through the years but there were very few I could share while being mindful of privacy.

Revised review as of 8/23/2024: We were heartbroken after…read morelearning the truth about what was happening at this daycare behind the scenes; children being verbally and emotionally scared into cooperating, instances not being reported to parents (even when it was a medical/safety issue), teachers who have little to no training, and teachers told to feed children food that is moldy or undercooked. The only solice we had after learning what was really going on at the daycare was our child being in Miss Alicia's classroom. Miss Alicia and Miss Michelle genuinely care about the kids in their room, provide structure and safety (yes safety) for their kiddos and any additional ones they can take in their room when able to. Knowing that the Regional Director was well informed about what was and had happened at this location and felt it was okay and appropriate to argue with parents and teachers about what was happening at the school has made us lose faith with all Cadence schools.

Once Upon A Time Academy was my son's first daycare/preschool experience after staying home with…read moremom exclusively for his first three years. It was a great experience for us - the staff was kind, professional and my son just loved them all. I really did appreciate the camera system they have in place, so that I could check on him from home during the first few days - no need to wonder if he was having a good day. The school also always had a number of fun, seasonal activities lined up for the kids and I loved getting the most adorable little keepsakes to bring home. I have 2 kids and have checked out a number of schools through the years. This one definitely gets an A in my book!

Please, stay away from this facility…read more My child has been here in Pre/Pre K class. Not long, though, because this facility does not care about your child. Not once do they wash their hands, even before meals. So, from the minute they walk in to when they get picked up, their hands do not get washed. Children use the bathroom on their own with no one watching, no one helping. There are 2 toilets in one bathroom, and boys and girls can use it together at the same time. They go out to play in the playground 4 times a day which is of course not right, since their ages range from 3-5. Circle time lasts bout 15 minutes once or twice a day and the rest, their playing by themselves with blocks or toys. You child can fall and be all dirty, but the "teachers" do not change their clothes. You would think, since they have a camera, they would be aware of the parents constantly checking up on their kids, but no, these teachers do not care. Sanitary is a big issue with most parents , but this place does not think so. I will be filing a report with the licensing department because it is absolutely gross to think that my child is being left at a place where they allow children to eat with hands that have not been washed after going to the bathroom or being out in the playground. We sent our previous child here so we can be convenient, but I have learned my lesson.

Nicole and her team are amazing! I can't recommend The Nurturing Nook enough. I have seen two…read morechildren through TNN, one in the preschool program and the other from 3 months old in their infant program through the toddler room and loved our experience from start to finish. The classes are small and personalized. The staff is very friendly and so good to the kids. My oldest has some special education needs and they were also very flexible in working out a schedule with us so that he could attend a specialized program in the morning and then attend the center in the afternoon. They send daily updates about activities and hold special programs and events for the kids to make their experience extra fun. Both of my kids loved attending, and we loved knowing that our babies were extremely well cared for. You can't go wrong with TNN!

Not a day goes by that my son (who is currently in their care) doesn't report on the meaningful and rich connections he makes between things they work on and discuss at school. Most importantly, all of my children loved it and looked forward to going every day. Bright Start Academy provides a nurturing environment that helped my children to be comfortable with separation and structure, and engage in socialization. As well as fostering positive growth focusing on kindness, manners and charity. My four children are so different in their personalities and learning styles, yet the team at Bright Start was able to find each one's niche and create an amazingly successful preschool experience for them. I especially love all of the Holiday, birthday and family celebrations along with all the fun field trips. I am beyond grateful for the energy, patience, care, and especially for the respect the teachers show for the children. They communicate about my child's good days and challenging days, and as a mom I feel lucky to be supported by an experienced, knowledgeable team who know my child so well, and truly care about his growth and development.
