You can tell that for Mr. Monroe and his team it is more than job and most of them have been doing it for many, many years because they love it.

Students learn discipline and respect and the important lesson that we are all capable of more than we may think.

As of April/May 2026, I would not recommend this daycare to anyone…read more Before I even toured the school, I called to ask about pricing. Nia, the assistant director, gave me incorrect pricing information not once, but twice. She also told me that the enrollment fee would be waived. Because she had already given me inaccurate information earlier that week, I specifically asked if she was sure, and she confirmed that she was. When I received my first bill, it was a little under $500, which immediately confused me because there was supposed to be a $250 discount applied to the first week. I asked the director, Renee Milton, why the bill was still so high after the discount. She told me it was because the enrollment fee had been added. I explained that Nia had told me the enrollment fee would be waived. Considering the multiple pricing errors beforehand, I felt some type of accommodation should have been made. Nia clearly needs additional training, and the communication between management is poor. Now onto the director, Renee Milton. She was extremely unprofessional throughout my experience there. One morning while dropping my children off, a teacher was running late. Renee said to me and another parent, "If it was up to me, I would get completely new staff." We were both visibly confused. As a parent, that is not something you want to hear from the person running the daycare your children attend. A few days later, I saw my oldest child doing something inappropriate on the camera system, so I called the school to address it and speak with my child. Later that evening, Renee brought up the situation and I mentioned that I like to monitor my child's behavior. She then responded, "You need to watch the cameras for these teachers as well." Again, I found this incredibly unprofessional. Regardless of how management feels about staff internally, those conversations should never be had with parents. The final issue involved my account balance. Earlier that week, I spoke with Renee over the phone and explained that I would pay the balance on Friday. She agreed that it was fine. Then, a day or two later, she messaged me through the parent portal reminding me to pay before drop-off, and I responded confirming that I would. Friday morning, I paid the balance before bringing my children in. While dropping them off, one of the teachers told me, "Renee said you can't drop off your child unless you pay your balance." I was absolutely upset. First, because I had already communicated with Renee multiple times about the payment. Second, because no teacher should have access to or be discussing my personal billing information with me. When I addressed it with Renee, she seemed more concerned about finding out who told me than understanding why the situation was inappropriate in the first place. At that moment, I decided my children would no longer attend this daycare. This was honestly one of the worst daycare experiences I have had. Renee and Nia are the main reason I would never recommend this school. It is hard to feel comfortable leaving your children somewhere when the director openly speaks negatively about staff members to parents. That being said, I do want to acknowledge the teachers who were wonderful to my children. Ms. Smiley was amazing, and honestly one of the main reasons I stayed as long as I did. Ms. Houda (I may be spelling her name incorrectly) was also wonderful with my 4-year-old and treated her with so much kindness and encouragement. Ms. Rochelle was incredibly sweet as well, and I truly believe she cared about my children. Those three teachers deserve recognition because they were the bright spots in an otherwise disappointing experience. The school has potential, but the current leadership is what will continue to hurt it.

I was going through my timehop on Facebook and saw where my child was a green belt two years ago…read moreand I had a moment where I realized I needed to preach of the amazing stuff of Atlanta Choong-Sil Kwan. Background story: My daughter had a very close bond with my foster dad, who had received his 1stDan in Kukkiwon in Seoul back in the 70's. Ever since she was two, she would practice kicks with him and would tell him that she planned to follow in his foot steps. Taekwondo was life for him. It was life for her. But first, she had a plan. It had to go by her terms. Which meant we went through all the sports first. Ballet. T-Ball. Soccer. Basketball. Swim. And she hated all of it. So when she was 6 and told me she was ready for Taekwondo, I just knew that within 2 weeks, we would be back at square one in finding something she would enjoy. She started in 02/16. I am a Scrooge McDuck. I don't spend money on anything unless I absolutely have to. So when I found a Groupon deal AND had a Groupon coupon on top of that, I figured that 6 weeks and an uniform for $9 was a freaking steal. We walked in, and she rushed to the mats. And she was in love. By the end of the first week, we had signed up for a year long membership commitment. Even though not much time had passed, I could tell this is where she belonged. Within two months, she earned her yellow belt. The realist in me thought that was way too quick. I had scouted out several other dojangs and had not been impressed on the number of McDojo's I had found. I did not want my kid to be in a belt mill. Afterall, my foster dad would kill me if I did. So at first, I was bummed. I thought I had made an error. But, the mom in me was super excited for her. And she was excited. And she stuck with it. Besides, she was less moody, her behavior had improved, she was listening better, not arguing, sticking up for herself instead of crying over every little thing. So, in and of that, worth it. Anyways, shortly after she earned her yellow belt, she learned about the Olympics. And after talking it over with my foster dad, suddenly she had her eyes on that. HAHAHAH! Oh, I had a good laugh over that. Until she learned about an upcoming tournament and she was the first one to sign up for it. And my wee little yellow belt grabbed sparring gear and went at it. And..she sucked. I mean, her forms were good. But she could not spar to save her life. But I noticed something in that moment. She knew she sucked. But she was going to do it anyways. And I noticed how much John and his team saw her ambition. And how much they were not just instructors, but coaches, friends, mentors, shoulders, and role models. It was then that I realized that it wasn't just my child who wanted these things, they wanted it with her. Not for her...no, they never forced any of it on her (in fact, they are ITF, not WTF, which is a requirement of the Olympics.) No, they wanted it with her because she wanted it. The day she got her green belt (two years ago today) was the day I realized that she had not been given that yellow belt too quickly. She had earned it. And she had earned this one. And they saw potential in her that at the time, I had missed. Today, she blows my mind. She is 9. And she hold a "black belt." Okay...so...it is mostly black. She is not a 1stDan. They are NOT a belt mill, she has had to earn every last belt she has and there have been times she did not test. She had moments where she wanted to quit (twice, right after she boomed a tournament and right after when my foster dad died.) She had moments where attitude won out (she is 9 after all.) But she stuck with it. And they have been there, every step of the way. I won't lie...not every child will have the same results as mine. Not every child will go through the belts as quickly as she has. A lot of it really does depend on the child. Mine practices just about daily in the garage and shows up to every class we will let her and time affords. Not all kids have that drive. But this dojang will feed on your child's energy and put just as much if not more effort into them than your child puts into the art. Because that is what they do. They are no longer just instructors. They are family. And I would not have it any other way. This is where we belong. This is where she belongs. They are home.

However, after discovering that staff had slapped my child on the hand and bringing this to their attention, everything changed. Instead of taking accountability, they chose to remove my son from the program. I removed my original review and am posting this updated one because parents deserve to know the truth. It is beyond unacceptable that any form of abuse is tolerated in a daycare setting. And instead of making things right, they also kept my full week's payment without issuing a refund -- which is nothing short of theft. As a Black mother and an educated woman, I will not be silenced, intimidated, or "talked down" to with empty words. If necessary, I will take legal action. Parents need to understand what kind of environment this is, and I cannot in good conscience recommend this daycare to anyone. Thankfully, by the grace of God, I have since found a 24-hour daycare in the area with fair rates, professional staff, and a nurturing atmosphere where both children and parents are treated with genuine respect. Bottom line: Grayson Academy is not the safe, trustworthy place they claim to be. Parents, please be cautious
