I strongly caution any parent considering Castle Brook Academy. The environment often felt…read morestressful rather than nurturing, and some staff interactions with children were rough or inappropriate. Screens and videos are used everyday with children of all ages, including infants. The facility does not have cameras, making it hard to know what's happening throughout the day. Since transferring my kids to a different daycare, their entire demeanors have changed. My heart aches seeing how much my children are thriving in a healthy environment now. I only wish I had realized sooner how harmful Castle Brook really was.

We love everyone at Castle Brook and are glad we found them. Ms. Stephanie and Ms. Eisha are so…read morewelcoming, friendly and helpful every time we arrive. Ms. Peggy and Ms. Nora are great with the VPK4 kids. Both are great with fostering an amazing learning environment while encouraging the kids to have fun together. I was able to witness Ms. Peggy and Ms. Stephanie handle a behavior issue with my child and both were very firm yet loving while helping my child understand the appropriate and expected behavior in the future. Ms. Pam is always friendly and does a great job with preparing great meals for all of the kids. We would recommend Castle Brook for anyone that is looking any of the childcare services they provide.

My son attended Turtle Tots from the time he was 3 months old until he was 3 years old. Shortly…read moreafter his 3rd birthday I discovered that the daycare had made well over $7,000 in unauthorized charges to my credit card that the daycare had on file. The daycare admitted the charges were unauthorized. However, when I asked the owner to refund the money they initially told me that they did not have the funds available to refund me for the unauthorized charges and they asked if I would accept credits for future services until the amounts were repaid. I rejected that offer & requested immediate reimbursement. After several weeks of calls & emails seeking reimbursement, the daycare finally reimbursed me for over $7k of the unauthorized charges. I (like most parents) want to make sure that my children are at a daycare I know I can trust and where my kids are safe. After this incident I personally no longer felt like I could trust Turtle Tots so I chose to withdraw my children. I will note that we loved my son's teacher - Ms. Jeanette. She was great and our son adored her but given the circumstances we felt that we had no choice to pull our children from turtle tots. I do not think the teachers had anything to do with the unauthorized charges but again, given the circumstances I did not feel comfortable leaving my children there.

Stumbling upon TLE SS was one of the best decisions we could have made for our little one. We came…read morefrom a not-so-great experience at another daycare, which led me to homeschool my now 2-year-old for about four months. From the very first tour, my husband and I were in awe of how professional the staff was and how clean and organized the center appeared. In my mind, it was the perfect fit for a Type A parent like myself. I first met Ms. Andrea, who was simply delightful and soft-spoken. I shared my expectations as a parent, and she truly listened. I told her that as long as my child was treated with respect, communication remained open--even for the slightest concern--and transparency was maintained, she wouldn't hear a peep from me. Ms. Andrea and Ms. Yahira have exceeded my expectations in every way. Not only do they treat my child with respect, but they genuinely love her and have taught her so much in such a short time. I selfishly pray they will still be here when my second child is of age. They are truly an asset to this program and to our family. We sincerely appreciate all that they do.

I even overheard one talkin' nasty about a baby's private parts and makin' slick comments about how "nappy" the Black kids' hair is. That's beyond disrespectful. The whole place just loud and messy -- real chaotic. We ain't never seen the actual director. I think her name Amber or Ember, but she don't ever show her face. Only folks we ever seen was the assistant, Nick, and the assistant director, who always loud and runnin' around in a cape like it's a joke. Wouldn't recommend this center if you serious about where your kids go. Only person who was sweet and consistent was Mrs. Kimberly -- she the only one that acted like she cared.
