What went wrong was the apparent lack of training for the teachers and very much incompetent director. A few months after we have enrolled, 1/4 of the staff quit. So we began this reduced hours since then and no end in sight. There are a lot of little things that added up into bigger things, to the point that we felt we can no longer trust her to have our child's best interest in mind. If your child is a toddler, make sure he or she is perfectly behaved otherwise you will get endless incident reports and get a sit down talk to come up with a plan for 30 days, just to get an email a week later on a Saturday and threatened to be dismissed. Maybe the board of directors will do something about this as we had a meeting with one of the members. But in the meantime go at your own risk.

My daughter has been coming here for just over a year now. She started when she was 1 1/2 year old…read morefrom another center that she started at 10 weeks old. We just moved into the area with no family or knowledge of the community. Some of the most important things I looked for in a child care center was the hands on activities, outside play areas and the teachers involvement in their development. I have not been disappointed! The amount of diverse cultures they learn from their teachers and the little walks to the center of town have been a huge bonus! The hard thing is my baby girl is growing up way too fast I'll have to handle another transition faster than I'd like. But that's life!

We sent out daughter during the summer months and she was part of the infant 2 classroom (16 months of age). We were impressed with the level of care the teachers and staff gave our daughter (and all the children). The curriculum was very dynamic and our daughter not only had the best time but learned so much through her time at Cadence. They are clearly best of breed and we couldn't recommend them enough!

This preschool center is one of the best I've had my child in . When I first walked in there to…read moretake a tour the staff was so welcoming the place was so warm-felt I could honestly say I felt like I was at home. Every time I go to the center the owner is there that makes me feel so good about leaving my child there when the owner is there that shows me that she is serious about her work and she loves what she does and she's proud. They are also so willing to work with parents on their days . I had a family emergency and needed the center to take my child during certain days because as a nurse my days are already scheduled out six weeks in advance and I had no one else to watch my son because I am a single mother they had no problem helping me and my son has just started those are the kind of people you want watching your child the ones who actually care about children they could have said no and sent me on my way but they didn't. The center is clean they are proficient they are kind they help with potty training they have a hair dresser come in once a month to help cut kids hair because hair cuts aren't always the easiest things for two year olds. My son is socializing with other children . They have a full kitchen and a cook who makes the children's food fresh i mean really what more can a parent ask for . I love this center and would recommend it to any family I live about 20 minutes away and I wouldn't change going to this care center for any center that was closer to me. After reading the review below me I was appalled because those are not the ladies that are at the center the ladies I deal with are professional they are kind I hope that this review helps other parents when looking for a center for this child .

Our experience at Precious Memories Preschool of Sandy Hollow was very short lived. Less than 15…read moreminutes if were being honest. We brought our two-year-old son into their facility for his first day. He was very excited to start his first day and ran right to the classroom we were told he was to be assigned to from our previous visit. The owner of the facility told us that we are not welcome back due to him not being compliant. He did not listen to her when we first got to the center (shocker he is a two-year-old that was there for less than 15 minutes and overly excited) and when he fell out of his chair he cried and ran for us because he was scared (crazy how he ran to his parents to console him...). Those two reasons were enough for the owner to justify that we are not welcome back and our two-year-old is just not going to be a good fit. I'm not sure as to what they expect out of a two-year-old, when this is normal and age-appropriate behavior. But apparently our two-year-old was a safety issue as well. Regarding how they allow their doors to the classroom be unlocked for the children to open them without a gate which in my opinion, is a safety issue for the children. However, I warn any parents who are looking at this center to be wary. Even the staff apologized on account of the owner and were unsure as to what happened. Very unhappy and ashamed that I even thought this establishment would be kind to my child.

If you have no experience with children, you should be in another field. They do not feed the children like they should be. If a child is sent with four bottles and a full lunch, tell me why four full bottles and a full lunch were returned to the parents. They do not care about the children at all. All they care about is that paycheck at the end of the week. They yell at the children and punish the children and have completely unproffesional work habits. Nothing is seem to be done by the books and they are causing more damage then learning. Singling kids out and making them feel like they are not part of the entire group is just not okay in my opinion. Children should be able to be children and enjoy being around friends but when people like this group of ignarants are in charge, the kids cant even be themselves. This place needs to be looked into and shut down otherwise more kids will continue to suffer.

This is the best place ever! The management and staff are simply amazing, the best! I love them! My…read moreson is 1 & 1/2 and has been coming since he was 5 months old. I chose this day care because my sister already had her son (3 y/o) enrolled since he was 12 weeks old and they've always loved it. He is learning so much and is having so much more fun than if I had tried to continue working from home, splitting my attention. This isn't just childcare while I'm at work; it's more like enrichment for baby with all the toys, craft projects, learning and people to socialize with. They even give him extra attention at the end of the day because he's usually last to get picked up, he must feel popular. When I come get him, he's always laughing and having fun. I've even seen kids cry during pick-up at end the of day because they're having so much fun & don't want to go home lol. I'm a real nervous nelly and always worry about safety & just the first week he spent here had me feeling totally secure about the level of care and safety precautions in place here, I could immediately tell he was never ever left to cry either which is very important to me. Until he started day care I would hold him for all his naps and the first part of the night lol and never let him cry, so of course he wouldn't fall asleep in the crib and the wonderful ladies here held him for his naps until he could gently get used to napping in a crib. Now he's in with the toddlers napping as scheduled like a champ. They really go above & beyond in every way that I can even think of. They send us pictures and video throughout the day and the toddlers are sitting nicely together and even sitting on their own mats in circle time to read and sing. It's amazing! They also have a very safe outdoor play area my son is obsessed with. Somehow, they manage to have the toddlers start to form lines and they go in and out of the play area in an orderly way I'd expect from kindergarteners. I'd assume any child who's been going here is going to be leagues ahead when it's time to enter the school system, they are learning so much! He is so happy and LOVES the staff here, he was literally diving into their arms during drop-off, smiling so big, by 6 months old! The staff help each baby through every milestone and difficulty, and it seems their speech develops so much faster from being there as well. I also noticed staff from the baby room working in the toddler room while my baby was transitioning, which I find so refreshing that he didn't have to just go into a new room with all new people right away during his stranger-danger phase. They are also great at logging intake and elimination each day so you can keep track. Since my son has started here there has not been once single incident, not one single injury, nor one single time that I've been unhappy or felt like I had anything to complain or worry about which is absolutely amazing! Additionally, they are obviously diligent about sanitizing because my baby has only been sick twice this entire year, so there seems like minimal spread when anyone does get sick. I can't even say enough about this day care, it's wonderful.
