He absolutely loves going to school every morning and adores his teachers and the staff. They adore him even more! Everyone is so welcoming. You can tell that this is a loving environment and that they truly care about and for the kids. I know that when I leave my son in the morning, he is in great hands. They truly feel like my extended family and I'm grateful to have them in my son's life. This isn't just a daycare. They actually teach from a curriculum. My son knows his alphabets, numbers, shapes, and phonetic sounds of the alphabets. This is truly the place to send your kids to prepare them for grade school. They learn social skills and get a jumpstart on their education. I'm so glad that I stepped out on faith and enrolled my son here. No regrets whatsoever.

This facility should be closed and never open again. How can the bus driver be so neglectful to…read moreleave a child on the bus in the heat so she can die? Why she didn't check the bus before and after or a count? This is unacceptable, no excuses. The daycare didn't even issue a public apology to the parents. May Winter Jones rest in peace and receive the justice that's deserved. May Winter's parents rightfully sue the daycare and staff for every second she had to suffer.

The staff is great from the front office to the kitchen staff and all the teachers. My granddaughter had fallen behind in school due to some changes in her life. Mr. Arthur and all the school age teachers has been wonderful and patient with helping her. And today they had a wonderful back to school bash that was so much for all families. Our family is so grateful for the whole staff. The Baskerville Family

My daughter has been at this school since she was just three months old, and we truly couldn't have…read moreasked for a better first daycare experience. Me and my husband are first time parent so we were very nervous. We absolutely love the staff in Rooms 100 and 150, as well as all of the wonderful front desk staff. Everyone has always been so kind, caring, and welcoming to our family. We are so sad that we are moving and have to leave, but this school will always hold such a special place in our hearts. I especially love the Watch Me Grow cameras and the updates throughout the day it always gave me peace of mind knowing I could check in on her and see how she was doing. It's clear that the teachers and staff genuinely care about my daughter, and that means so much to us. I'm so grateful we chose this school as her first daycare and will always look back on our time here with so much appreciation. We highly recommend this school to any family looking for a loving, nurturing, and trustworthy place for their child! Special shoutout to Miss Arlet & Ms Erika! The Luces

The Children's Courtyard has been a fantastic experience for my granddaughter who started attending…read morewhen she was about 7 weeks old and is now 16 months. The staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in the kids' growth. My child is always excited to come in each morning, which says a lot. The classrooms are clean and organized, and the teachers keep a great balance between learning and play. I appreciate the consistent communication--daily updates, photos, and quick responses whenever I have a question. It gives me real peace of mind. Most importantly, I can see how much my granddaughter has grown since starting here. The team creates a safe, encouraging environment where kids feel confident and cared for. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a trustworthy, positive place for their child!

I am deeply disappointed and concerned. My child has been…read moreattending this facility for quite some time, and the recent dismissal of Ms. Candice, one of the most loving, nurturing teachers, is nothing short of heartbreaking. To say I'm upset is an understatement. As a parent, my top priority is the care, safety, and emotional well-being of my child--and right now, I have serious concerns. The decision made by Melissa, the director, feels cold and calculated. For her to dismiss such an impactful caregiver and then deflect responsibility as if it wasn't her call is beyond unacceptable. Let's be honest--this is a daycare, not a corporation. These are real children with real emotional needs, and parents who deserve transparency and honesty. Ms. Candice showed up for these kids every single day, even when she had personal things going on--because she cared. You don't just replace that kind of heart. What's worse is that when issues are brought to Melissa's attention, she acts like she's going to address them--but nothing changes. Kids are no longer being nurtured. Hygiene standards are slipping. And still, we're expected to pay premium rates? Parents deserve better. Our children deserve better.

I'm very concerned about how this daycare handles discipline and supervision. In my experience,…read morethere seems to be favoritism when staff members have their own children in the classroom. When issues happen, it feels like other children are blamed instead of addressing everyone involved fairly. My nephew was accused of behavior that did not match what I've personally observed from him. When we asked for clarification or video footage, we were told cameras were not working, which made the situation even more frustrating. Communication from administration was unprofessional, and we did not feel that concerns were taken seriously. As a paying family, we expected better accountability and transparency. I would recommend that other parents ask detailed questions about supervision policies, discipline practices, and camera systems before enrolling their child."

‼‼WARNING: DANGEROUS DAYCARE‼‼…read more I had to remove my 5-year-old son from this daycare due to repeated physical and emotional abuse from his teacher, Ms. Carole. My son used to refer to her as his "ANGRY" teacher because she would constantly yell at him, call him names, and make him feel small. I began noticing changes in his behavior and, after gently asking him questions, he opened up about the mistreatment. He told me that Ms. Carole would hit him on his arms and legs, mock him about his backpack, saying it was dirty and making him hide it so it wouldn't be seen. Even more heartbreaking, she made fun of his eczema--a condition he struggles with daily. I immediately reported this to the Director, Ms. Vanessa, but instead of addressing the abuse, she brushed it off. She told me that my son "probably just doesn't want to be here" and suggested that I remove him--which I did. I am devastated that my child had to endure this. What's worse is that Ms. Carole is STILL employed there. Why? This place is not just unsanitary and unprofessional--it's toxic. The environment feels cult-like among the staff, and it's clear the teachers are overworked and underpaid. I'm sharing this so other parents are aware. Protect your children. Trust your gut. If something feels off, it probably is. I would have put no starts but that wasn't a choice!

I absolutely LOVE Love love this school!! We pulled our…read moredaughter from another daycare and brought her here because we liked their programming and more experienced teachers/staff; and truthfully because they pray over meals and I really wanted to have her have that experiences outside of our home. The other school "seemed" more modern & had fancy video system (which was good when our daughter was little and couldn't verbally tell us about her day), but truly what i learned was a video doesn't stop a mean/scary teacher in action and you cant rewind. However, the children spot provides lots of picture it didn't have a camera to watch the children at home-- but you're welcomed to come & watch from their office if you ever want to come in (which i never needed to because the disposition of my child was better now) . My child is MUCH happier here & learning more here at the children spot. She does hands on activities, tracing & projects (besides coloring all day long as she seemingly did in the other school). She's in love with her teacher "Ms. Missy" and all the staff. I also love the various discounts they offer for military and educators. I highly recommend this place for any parent due to our amazing experience.

Let me start by saying that this is my very first Yelp review and I did give the administrators an…read moreopportunity to connect with me personally. I voiced my concerns in detail and have waited 2 weeks for a response. I won't be too specific as I understand that my experience is contextual but if I were a parent I would be aware of the following The Lack of tangible progress and documentation; what the sold as curriculum is NOT what we saw. Insufficient engagement and educational activities; observed periods were often filled with unstructured time and excessive nap durations. Financial inconsistencies and unexpected fees, notably with summer program charges that were not clearly explained or justified. - PARENTS, PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS LIKE "WHY IS MY PART TIME STUDENT PAYING THE SAME AMOUNT FOR SUMMER ACTIVITIES AS THE FULL TIME STUDENT IF THEY ARE NOT ATTENDING ALL ACTIVITIES THAT THE FEES ARE PAYING FOR. Payment and late payment procedures are inconsistent and the front office staff aggressively bully. Lack of responsiveness and support from administrative staff, resulting in unresolved inquiries and dissatisfaction with service reliability. RETHINK.

In addition, I'd like to know what is actually being taught in Pre k here? My child was previously…read moreenrolled in a Children's Courtyard where she had 10* worksheets and several different paper crafts they would make in her folder that she would bring home every Friday. They had journals; the teacher would have a sentence written on the board before class begins daily and the students would copy it, using the finger space method to space out the words. This place does not use worksheets at nor are they practicing writing their names or anything else. They are not practicing holding pencils or writing ANYTHING!!! In three weeks of attendance, she brought home ONE picture she had drawn- ONE!!!. Granted, she missed a couple days during her time enrolled here, I refuse to believe they were actually doing any kind of schoolwork on those days my child happened to not be there. I thought I'd be able to rely on this school, however it is hardly a school; it's a kiddy jail with a pre k teacher that doesn't have patience and screaming is the only way she can try to keep control of the classroom. I may lose patience with my little one at home from time to time, however I will not PAY someone else to do it on a daily basis. I confronted the teacher about this on my daughter's second day, repeating to her what my daughter had told me. She admitted " Yes, I do scream, I do get loud with them, but I always apologize though." Excuse me!!! WHYYY are you screaming at 4 & 5 year olds!?!?! Mind blowing!!! I am in agreement with the other reviews that stated they had the feel that this place strictly about business. I would not be surprised if they are offering discounts for positive reviews, because ain't NO WAY!!!
