Our daughters started here when they turned 2. There is a separate classroom for 2 year olds and…read morethere are other classrooms for 3-5 year olds. We had nothing but good experiences here and highly recommend it. The teachers are very patient with the children, older children help younger children settle into routines, and the school even helps with potty training when the time comes. When our daughter started Kindergarten at the local elementary school, we found she was far beyond her classmates in math. This school prepared her well. Your child will take time to settle into the new environment. It took my oldest nearly six weeks. The school will work with you, so be patient and don't blame the school if your child isn't ready.

Let me save you the headache! This place is a freakinnn' mess…read more After essentially being pushed out just two days in, I was told I'd get a full refund, minus the two days my son was "in school", yeah.. ok. What I got instead was several weeks of back and fourth emails, and a check that was finally recieved via snail mail aka USPS. I thought: "FINALLY", cause... hey, we're talking a little over $1,800. I go to deposit it and lo and behold.. IT'S NOT SIGNED. Yes, seriously, they sent me an unsigned check. From there, I went back to the email thread, going back and forth a million times with accounting and random people who never introduced themselves. An aggressive email from a random staff member named Patricia, who never introduced herself or her role in the whole situation. I didn't receive any phone calls, no apology, no accountability. Weeks go by, and I don't receive another check, so I filed a dispute with my bank after attempting to resolve this for over a month. Guess what? I finally heard back from accounting. They tried to get me to cancel my dispute so that they could issue a check again. I said nope! Thankfully, a week or so later, my bank was able to refund me the entire amount after literally faxing them our email thread and the unsigned check. Please do not bring yourself or your children here. The staff here is unprofessional and incompetent and needs to brush up on their customer service. Avoid. At. All. Costs.

My child started at this preschool about three weeks ago, and we are already so impressed with how…read morewell he has adjusted. The teachers have been incredibly patient, supportive, and understanding, which has made the transition so much easier for him and for us. What truly sold us is how loving and kind the entire staff is. You can tell they genuinely care about the children and create such a warm, welcoming environment. We feel confident dropping him off each day knowing he is safe, cared for, and happy. We are so grateful to have found this preschool and highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing place for their child to grow and learn.

We are extremely happy with this school. My son has been attending since he was 2.5 years old, and…read morewe couldn't be more grateful for his educational journey. The progress he has made is amazing , he has learned so many things, both academically and socially. The teachers are caring, patient, and truly dedicated to the children. We feel supported as parents and confident that our child is in a safe, loving, and stimulating environment. We highly recommend this school to any family looking for a place where children truly grow and thrive.

This place is really a mixed bag. Both my son's attended. Our oldest was labeled a problem child,…read morewhile the youngest almost never had an issue. As parents, we stayed involved and had several meetings to find a solution for our oldest, but nothing seemed to work. Low and behold, he is off to Kindergarten and getting nothing but rave reviews. We enjoyed the afternoon care people. I can say for certain, teacher Cathy was an absolute joy. However, the director is a bit harsh. On a couple of occasions my wife and I got there without our presence being known and heard some very harsh tones used even on very small children.. the demeanor seemed to disappear when we made ourselves known. Unfortunately, the education aspect seems to lack. The field trips were fun for the kids, however, our youngest is in a much more structured preschool and the difference is so noticeable. BUT, the price can NOT be beat. 2 children, 3 days a week, from 7 am till 6pm was 576, where now we pay for 3 full days for 1 child at 450. If you are on a tight tight budget, the pre school is not bad.. but, it truly just depends on what you're looking for, and what you're willing to let slide.

I can't say enough great things about Sonshine Children Center. Today was my girls' last day and…read morewe've left with such wonderful memories. The Director, Teacher Cindy and all of the teachers are caring, loving, and knowledgeable. I have 2 other friends whose children also attended and absolutely loves Sonshine. Enrolling your kids at this pre-school is an absolute must. Thank you teachers Cindy, Cathy, Carol, Stacy, Sue, and Melissa for taking care of my daughters and showing them love and kindness.

I rarely leave reviews, but families deserve transparency. My family has been with this center for…read moreover three years, and the decline has been noticeable especially following recent corporate changes and inconsistency at that level. This facility markets itself as a "learning center", but it is increasingly operating like a daycare without the consistency and structure you would expect for the cost. Ongoing staffing shortages have created unreliable care, including last minute capacity limits that result in families being turned away. The core issue appears to be how staff are treated and to be clear, this is not a reflection of the on site team, but a corporate level problem. Teachers seem overworked, under supported, and underpaid, which creates an unsustainable environment. This not only impacts the children, but also leads to high staff turnover and a lack of consistency in care. Families are paying premium rates, but the investment in staffing does not reflect that. Until there are meaningful changes at the corporate level to support and retain qualified teachers, I cannot recommend this center.

Reflecting on the six years my child spent at Childtime, I can honestly say we look back on the…read moreexperience with immense satisfaction. Now that we are nearly a year removed from the program, the positive impact on my child's development is even more apparent. The hallmark of our experience was the relationship with the administration. While there were naturally moments over the years where I had concerns or disagreed with a specific situation, I never once felt unheard. The leadership team always prioritized sitting down with me to listen and address my feedback. Even when the solutions weren't exactly what I had envisioned, the transparency and respect they showed ensured that my perspective was always valued. Watching my child flourish in the environment they've cultivated was a joy. My only constructive critique would be the lunch program; while relying on the provided options was occasionally a challenge, and my child sometimes came home hungry. However, the staff was always attentive to this--they provided appealing snacks and allowed as many helpings as needed to ensure no child was left wanting. I would have prefered to be able to provide a home made lunch that respected the no-peanut policy. I am grateful for the care, the communication, and the community Childtime provided our family for over half a decade.

Initially, I was happy with my choice to enroll my child(ren). However, my experience left me…read morethinking that the director is a tad arrogant and quick to label children. If your child is not developing in a typical manner. Be warned. On top of that, the classrooms have no windows and the walls are bare. The cost is outrageous considering the quality of service (and they still try to do fundraisers). Lastly, there seems to be a high turnover rate when it comes to staff. Hope they make improvements.

She really spends time and gets every child ready and prepared for Kinder. Just like his sister, he has never disliked going to school. Because all learning is done through play, he enjoys all the projects and schoolwork. Hes proud to show us everything he does. She still maintains an open door policy for all guardians. She has never made myself, husband or my in laws feel unwelcome for coming for a visit or attending one of the many holiday parties. Just like with his sister, she helped, encouraged and supported us through potty training. They never leave the little ones in soiled diapers or clothing. If parents forget to bring a change of clothing she always has spares on hand to help in a pinch. Ms Billda has still maintained an affordable status for parents looking for early education for their little ones. When it was time for my son to start preschool I knew I didnt need to look anywhere else! It was a no brainer. You get more bang for your buck at Academics Plus. Im done having kids but I will always advocate for small businesses that care about those in the community. I hope Ms. Billda continues to thrive in all business aspects.
