It's such a welcoming place and there's kids of all ages, including all elementary school ages, and you can tell the staff really care about the children. Brandy Roberts, the principal, sets such a positive tone. She's kind, approachable, and always there when families need her! And Mr. Carlos is a total superstar! He's patient, upbeat, and makes every kid feel special. My child always leaves with a smile and a story about something fun they did with him that day. The whole team deserves so much credit for creating that kind of environment.

Disregard all the reviews that are complaining at the director, she's not working with this academy…read moreanymore. The management that currently is here is wonderful. My daughter is been attending this school for the last half of the year and we are extremely happy. This place hire real teachers, licensed, that have proper education and experience. The teacher that we have is extremely talented and devoted, we love her. She constantly brings new lessons, shares her curriculum and plans. My daughter has eczema and dietary restrictions so I bring my own food. My daughter had never been exposed to anything else they watch it closely and very carefully. The school is clean, fresh and modern, uses secure video cameras so you can always see what's going on with your kid. Kids go outside twice a day and spend a lot of time on the playground. Playground is really nice too, not just to show but a real playground where kids really have what to do. Couldn't be happier!

TLDR: Do NOT send your child here, especially if they have allergies! Many awful teachers,…read morecomplacent and rude administration. Our experience at Kiddie Academy has been nothing short of a nightmare. My son has allergies, which was not any trouble to manage at our prior facility and is not any issue at his current facility. KA gave him foods he was allergic to on multiple occasions. On at least two of these occasions, Trisha (accurately portrayed in a few of these other negative reviews) tried to mom-shame me for how I handled the incidents instead of focusing on how egregiously they messed up. After the 4th allergen exposure (that I know of, it was confirmed he regularly was given a salad dressing that contained an allergen though), I reported them to the state. They were supposed to come up with a better communication plan from the kitchen to the teachers about what my child couldn't eat. A few weeks later I found out from my son's new teacher that she had "no idea" what he is allergic to, and that the way she finds out he can't have something is from his prior room's teacher yelling across the hall "don't give that to him!" when the kitchen brings something he's not allowed to have. Absolutely terrifying. You might ask why I didn't just send his food myself. Two of his exposures were when I sent his food! I watched his teachers withhold his food, giving him about 5 minutes to eat at the end of lunch, and blatantly ignore his stealing food off the other babies' plates (he was about a year old for this). At one point they gave him a special treat that was brought in by another kid without clearing it with me first. When I raised concerns about their behavior, he came home the next day with feces encrusted on his tiny little rear-end. Not even a dirty diaper, they just intentionally did not wipe him well and left it. On that note, he came home another time with feces up his back and through his onesie, no explanation given. I hope none of his classmates got pink eye from that one. The teachers in his first room were constantly on their phones, never engaging with the babies. I never saw so much as a book being read to them; they were left on their own to play with no interaction from a caring adult. My baby had very dry skin/eczema and I'd sent in lotion to be used when needed. His teacher quite happily told me that they never put it on him unless I specifically call to ask. It's almost like she was overjoyed at her own stupidity. This is a child who's face was often bleeding it was so in need of lotion, but I guess you can't see that when you're on your phone all day. Overall the administration wants to keep parents out of the building as much as possible. They continue cov1d-era policies where you must drop off and pick up at the front entrance unless you have a reason to go back and talk to your child's teacher. As a result, there is absolutely no sense of community (also they briefly lost a child from this policy, as noted in the state incident reports, yet they continue to cling to their process). I've talked to many other parents that don't even know all of their younger child's teachers' names and wouldn't be able to recognize them on the street. Many teachers are blatantly rude and disrespectful to parents when you do talk to them, and the administration's response is "they're a little gruff". What's tolerated is encouraged - if you cared about the interaction between parents and teachers you wouldn't allow your teachers to act like that. It's unfortunate that the majority of the younger rooms are such an abomination because there are some teachers that are GEMS in the older classes. We had a great experience with my oldest son, who was only there a year before entering kindergarten. However it was so strongly outweighed by the horrors of my baby's experience that I could never recommend this place, not even to my worst enemy.

The school is phenomenal in its academics, curriculum, and overall learning environment. They truly set children up for success while making education fun, engaging, and meaningful. The Principal Ms. Charmaine is Incredible--warm, professional, and deeply invested in every child's growth. Her leadership sets the tone for the entire school, and you can feel her passion the moment you walk through the doors. We are also beyond grateful for my daughters teacher Ms. Isis, who is nothing short of amazing. She consistently goes above and beyond to support learning, encourage confidence, and make sure every child feels seen and valued. Her dedication and creativity shine through in everything she does. On top of that, Everbrook is extremely accommodating to parents. Their communication, flexibility, and willingness to work with families make the entire experience seamless and comforting. The entire staff is so friendly and amazing. You always feel like you're part of a true partnership. I couldn't recommend Everbrook Academy more. It's a place where children thrive--and where parents feel supported every step of the way.

Unfortunately, this interaction did not meet those expectations. and negatively affected my experience at the YMCA. I respectfully request that this matter be reviewed and addressed appropriately. My intention is not simply to complain, but to help ensure that all members and visitors receive respectful and professional service. Thank you for taking the time to review my concerns.

When we first started we communicated all these things to the school to later find out that our son due to their observation was not supportive to the environment they were trying to create. My son is two years old, he is speech delayed and bilingual. Because he doesn't exactly represent the image they are looking for they gave us a week to find him a new location. In short, if you have a child they may need extra attention or support, this is NOT the location for you. They are not equipped or trained to meet your child's needs.

DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO CADENCE ACADEMY!!!…read more I am extremely disappointed with cadence academy and want to warn other parents about my experience. Unclean Environment - The daycare is consistently dirty. I have seen dirty floors, unclean bathrooms, food left out, etc..This is completely unacceptable for a place caring for young children. Unprofessional Staff - The staff is rude, inattentive, unqualified.I have witnessed the front Desk staff go ballistic on my mom ,threatening her to call the cops on threatening to call Social Workers on her because she was one minute late to pick up my daughter, her behavior was unacceptable, I won't be surprised if she was on something working around kids... Lack of Supervision and Safety - I have serious concerns about my child's safety. security issues, or injuries due to negligence, my daughter came home couple of Times with scratches on her arms and legs and I never got a report from them, every time I went to pick up my daughter it was a different Teacher ,the food is horrible, they don't care if you kids eat or not they just don't care about your kid , I had seen many complaints about the Teacher and how they do wrong things around this Daycare. Poor Communication - The daycare does not communicate with parents properly. When I tried to address my concerns, I was ignored. I would not recommend this daycare to any parent. If you care about cleanliness, professionalism, and safety, look elsewhere! I hope management takes these issues seriously, but based on my experience, I would not trust them with my child's well-being. 0 stars for this academy this place must be shut down for its unsafe environment provided for the children at this daycare...

Thank you to Fort Mill Cooperative Preschool and all of the staff for inviting us to the zoo field…read moretrip! It was such a special first experience for my little one. The trip itself was quite a distance, which made it even more meaningful that everything was so well organized and thoughtfully planned. It was a wonderful way to connect with the staff and some of the families. One of the most meaningful parts of the experience was seeing the parent involvement in action. While it was the parents leading and supporting the group, Ms. Skyler's natural connection with the children, her energy, and her presence stood out. It was truly special to witness the level of trust and bond between the staff, and children. There is even a mini farm and a few gardens at the school. What makes Fort Mill Cooperative Preschool unique is how they encourage and create space for that involvement. Through field trips, events, and holiday celebrations, they build a strong, connected environment for both children and families. We especially love Ms. Emmy and Ms. Skyler. The owner, director and the Fort Mill Co-op family-staff have truly changed school for my son. A huge thank you to Ms. Szilvia Fillmore, the on-site Clinical Art Counselor, who is also affiliated with Thrive Family Services. Through her support and collaboration with the staff, my son has grown in his ability to identify and communicate his needs and emotions. This was very valuable! The tools and materials she brings into the classroom were something we didn't even realize we were missing at previous schools. This is truly an incredible school, with strong values and a genuine commitment to each child's growth and development. We are so grateful for your thoughtful and engaging approach to learning.

My issues were my last few months** As I look back and question my choices to leave my kids here makes me sad. I loved a select few teachers, my girls were lucky to have them. If they had any other teachers I would have pulled them out way before I did. This is not a place that I would tell another parent to bring their kids. My daughter was picked on and picked on by one child in particular. I complained, nothing. I complained, they moved classes. That day my daughter told me he was still picking on her, they were allowed to play on the playground together? C'mon, really? I would think of another child is hitting and spitting on my daughter they would take it more seriously. I questioned them about this boy, the response was his mom was going through a hard time and she wasnt surprised he was being bad. She tried to justify it to my face. Don't get me wrong, I get hard times. The fact that the people i paid way too much money too didn't care, pisses me off. I spent way too much money here for less then mediocre child care.
