Before our first daughter was born, we toured Tutor Time of Holbrook. We were so impressed with the…read morecare and love and attention to the babies in the infant room, we signed up immediately! Miss J. in Infant A, we can't thank you enough for all your love and care for our girls. Now our first daughter is four and a half, and when our second daughter was born (she just turned 2), we knew she'd be happy and well-taken-care-of (and well-loved) there, too! Our second had some gross motor skill delays and had certain special requirements for her care as an infant, and we might have worried that she would have a hard time at full-time daycare, but we knew, based on the care we'd seen with other kids who needed a little help (some kids had their PTs visit during school), we knew that she would be just fine. She is a bright and happy kid, and we were so impressed and grateful for the many ways in which the Directors and her teachers in the infant rooms on up worked with her every day to keep her mind happy, stimulated and busy with age-appropriate activities even when she couldn't crawl when others were starting to walk. When she could crawl but not yet walk, but many classmates were walking, her teachers again made certain she could participate both inside the classroom and on the playground (and not be squashed by the walkers :D). Now she is walking proudly and hasn't looked back! :D We are forever grateful for all the special love and care for her! Both have been attending since they were a few months old, and we continue to be impressed by not only the care, but the educational curriculum, the safety and security of the school, the activities aimed specifically at each child's development, and even the menu! The directors and every teacher learns every child's name, and the girls love being greeted when they arrive. They also love the playground and projects and special fun days (and my preschooler is in Cub Camp for her second year, something she looks forward to), and I love that the curriculum is presented in a way that makes it fun to learn, and that each child comes home with a paper saying what she did, what she ate, how she napped, etc. each day. Most of all, though, you can tell that everyone loves and cares for your children, and it's a safe, nurturing environment that my husband and I feel comfortable having my girls attend. Highest recommendations!!!

This is my 2nd year sending my son to this preschool, and it's phenomenal! The teachers and staff…read moreare great, very easy to talk to and great with communication. They are honest and that's what I want as teachers for my child, if my child needs help in a specific area they make sure they let you know so you can work with your child to speed up the process of exceeding in those specific areas....I'm a stay at home mom who rarely left my son, so his first year there was his first time really "away" from me, they took care of him being upset and within 2 weeks he LOVED going there. He comes home with projects and learns something new everyday! I could honestly go on and on how this place is great but one of the main reason I LOVE this place, is their way of not only teaching my child "text book" preschool subjects, they also teach my child "old school" respect and manors which I find more important, my son new the pledge of allegiance sighing the first 3 weeks.....they also make every holiday super exciting for the kids! I don't trust anyone with my children but I have 100% trust that they have my child's safety and best interest at heart! I see the way my son LOVES them as if they were family. These reviews about people saying anything about "honesty" obviously have problems maybe hearing something they don't want to hear, or having problems stepping up to the plate!

I would not recommend sending your children here. My daughter was enrolled for 3-4 months. She was…read morepunched in the head twice by another student and no incident report was made both times. During this time my daughter was having extreme melt downs about going to school. The second time my daughter came home with a HUGE LUMP on her head and told us exactly whats been going on. A boy was punching her in the head. we called, talked to administrators, and talked to teacher Ms Paige in person. STILL NO INCIDENT REPORT WAS MADE and the teacher said basically she has no clue what we were talking about but she would keep an eye out. At this point i was in contact with a few employees besides the teacher on a personal level who confirmed exactly what happened and what child was doing this behavior to multiple kids and it was not being handled properly. They refused to refund the security deposit, charged us an additional two weeks that the security should have covered, then called us for more money staring we didn't pay for two weeks prior to withdrawing our daughter (impossible, we have all bank statements). Ella from billing was supposed to contact us and never did. We were supposed to be supplied with the owners phone number and email, and it never was given to us. We pulled our child because the program was ran horribly, not because we just decided to. Our child was not being protected which means we should have got our security deposit back, not it basically stolen from us than trying to charge an additional month. This place will scheme you right out of your money, take advantage of children's speech delays, and not take proper protocol to protect your children. On top of safety issues there are health issues where protocol is not being followed. Kids who are sick are never sent home even if they have a fever, coughing, and snot running down there face. In three months we got the flu twice, RSV twice, and Covid once. So your child will be consistently ill. MULTIPLE issues coming from every department in this place. Keep ur child safe and healthy- skip kiddie academy. The second i pulled my daughter from this place and put into a different preschool program she started thriving instead of declining in every area. I could only assume they stopped doing incident reports because another child had 18 of them with bodily injuries and no one had any answers. This is illegal and god only knows what has happened to my child during this duration of time since nothing was ever reported.
