Director & Office Staff Are Very Nice!!!
I am beyond grateful for this daycare and cannot say enough good things about it. From day one, it has felt like a second home for my son. Jamie and Haley are truly incredible directors—kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in every child and family. You can feel the love and care they put into running this place.
Mrs. Lisa, Ms. Angel, and almost all the others I’ve encountered are absolute gems. They are patient, nurturing, and go above and beyond every single day. My son is so happy in his classroom, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing he is loved, supported, and encouraged while he’s there. He’s actually started asking if I will pick him up at a later time so that he can spend time with Ms. Angel and his friends 🥹
The environment is safe, positive, and welcoming, and the staff treats the children like family. We have seen so much growth in our son, both emotionally and academically, and we know it’s because of the amazing people here.
If you are looking for a daycare where your child will be truly cared for and valued, this is it. I would never recommend any place if I didn’t mean and love every bit of it. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of this community and recommend it 100% without hesitation!!!

Always a warm and welcoming center when I come to pick up my niece and the teachers always let us know about how her day was
The only place I would trust with my precious baby girl. Miss Tammy is an absolute sweetheart and she takes such good care of my infant. Although she is a little young for activities yet (She's only 3 months old) they have all kinds of engaging things happening when I pick up and drop off. They give me such insightful information on how her day was.
If you treat your staff poorly, I’m sure the children are getting treated wrong too!! I would keep my kids far away as possible from this place!!!!
My grandkids went there, horrible place mgmt does not care. Would not recommend
I trusted my baby with children’s academy from the time he was 6 weeks until he was 2 and I don’t regret it for a moment. He had 3 very consistent and supportive teachers and everyone there adored him. Samantha and Denae were his infant teachers and they both still work within children’s academy or affiliated centers. Ms. Santana has been with my child for 8 months and we absolutely love her. The love she has for my child is unmatched. Constantly pushing him to be his best self and teaching him daily manors and how to keep his hands to himself. She will advocate for your child and stay out of all drama that’s bound to occur in a daycare.
I give 4 stars instead of 5 due to the lack of pay, under appreciation and high turnover rate. It’s very hard for children to accept change and when it’s constant change it really effect their behavior
Thank you children’s academy for being a great stepping stone in my sons life

Very unsatisfied with this daycare. Too many incidents not reported, and staffing concerns. Also over priced compared to other local places. Stay as far away as possible
Friend's child was severely hurt at this daycare and it wasn’t reported! Infant required surgery. Please be careful with your loved ones!!! Keep them safe.
Worst daycare ever. DO NOT let your child attend here. They are not properly staffed at all and will continuously call the parents with false health concerns weekly to get you to pick up your child instead of doing their job of watching them. The fake health issues range from taking two temperatures and going with the highest to cite a fake fever and then refuse to watch him the next day to calling you and telling you that they don't know if your child is breathing. This place is ridiculous. Save yourself the headache and go somewhere that is properly staffed so your child isn't in the candidate list of "which parent are we going to call to pick up their kid cause we don't know how to staff our facility legally". This wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't a WEEKLY occurance. This place needs to have their license revoked. Its not clean at all on top of the staff doing this nonsense.
My daughter went here for almost 3 years until we moved to a different part of town. Children’s academy is so wonderful! The directors (Jamie and Sam) are very helpful and communicative. Everyone on the staff, especially the handful of my daughter’s teachers there long term (pretty low turnover, which is great for kids because change can be hard!) treated my daughter like she was their own!
We had our little one in CA for one year before we had to move cities for a job. We absolutely loved the teachers and staff who helped our little one grow each and every day. We were sad to be leaving and would totally recommend CA to other parents. They are communicative with parents and engaged with the kiddos! They set the standards for what we looked for in a good quality daycare in our new city. Thank you to the folks at CA for providing a safe, clean, and comfortable place for our baby.
We recently moved our daughter out of CA because we are moving to a different side of town, but we are very thankful for our experience there. The teachers treated our baby like their own, and we were constantly in communication with them throughout the day. Ms. Sam (and several other teachers) has been awesome to work with! She has left a lasting impact on our baby!
My kids have been going there since the begging of this year and they love it ! My toddlers teacher are so great and stay on top of keeping me updated . My son just started kindergarten and thanks to the teachers there he was ready to tackle school
This daycare is awesome. My daughter loves her teachers. Great trusting place to send your kiddos if needing it. Also she’s learning so much too!
The director Saria is extremely nice and very professional and explained everything clearly. Amazing! And my child's teacher, Asenett, is awesome. She is very knowledgeable and explains learning content so that my child could really get an understanding. I would recommend ANYBODY that is looking for a great child care center to come here. If all child care centers had a Saria as the director and an Asenett as a teacher, they would be an great place for children to go. I'm so grateful that my son attends this center. I can breathe without any worries. These 2 ladies are a great asset to your center!
My children had the honor of going to this childcare facility and because of relocating in Louisville, we had to make the decision to leave. But our time there was special. The staff has always been very communicative with me about anything and everything going on with the kids, classes or the center. The staff always went above and beyond to keep the kids safe from todays ever changing world, to planning special events out of their own pockets. They always worked really hard with early educational values in the center to make sure the kids were ready for school and caught up with grade level. There’s always events going on there so the kids never got “bored”, from parties, to water days, to super hero day etc. the staff is also very accommodating to work with each parent regardless of hardship. This was a difficult choice to walk away due to moving as I doubt we will find another facility that really does go above and beyond for their kids. Thank you all for everything you’ve done to keep the kids feeling loved.
The staff at Children’s Academy (more specifically, the director Saria) has gone ABOVE & BEYOND to ensure not only my child, but that I felt comfortable with level of childcare they provide. My daughter has aged into 2 new classes since starting and has been welcomed by ALL and treated like nothing less than FAMILY. Even in the most unsure times as a mother, they made sure I was always aware of everything, communication is top notch with the use of the Brightwheel App. My daughter literally has a second family at Childrens Academy and I couldn’t be more grateful for the supportive, communicable, personable and loving staff they have. I know this review may seem sappy but if you knew the struggles I and my baby both had with starting daycare, you’d understand. I’d give 10 stars if I could!
I was so nervous to put my baby boy in childcare, but from the first time talking to the director, Ms. Saria, I had my nerves set at ease. My boy loves his teachers and I know he is well taken care of day in and day out. This place is the best!
I have been trying to reach you all by phone but both numbers are residential numbers if you all can provide a phone number that would be awesome and greatly appreciated!
Absolutely the best daycare !! They go over and beyond, very clean, and the staff is incredible... Over all absolute 5 star ...
Our 2 year old daughter has been going here since she was 8 weeks old. We are absolutely pleased with the care and learning she gets. This place is also conveniently located near our home. The teachers and staff are helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend this place.
I love Childerns Academy they take time to teach your child things they need for school. All the staff is so nice and polite. My daughter is happy to go there and she loves all the activities they do. This is the first daycare and Preschool place that my daughter truly loves and the staff is great with my daughter. I don't have to worry about anything while im at work I know she is in good hands!
Very professional owners , this is a daycare with great daily communication ! Safe and fun environment for all the age groups .
Very well run daycare, very attentive to my child’s needs and staff is caring and always answers any questions I have pertaining to my child when he is in their care
I absolutely love love love them! Every single person that works here is nice caring and loving. They love my son and I trust them. Which is hard to find in people. But not here. I've relocated my jobs and home just to keep my son here.
Staff is very nice. They have an app they communicate on and always get back in a timely manner and it's also a great tool they use to update you on your children. And the daycare has structure not all over the place like previous daycares I've been to. Recommended
The new owners have made many positive improvements to the center. They have gotten new staff members/teachers and have made great improvements to the building and classrooms as well as implementing a new curriculum. Any problems or issues I've had they've addressed them promptly and professionally. My babies are learning and growing thanks to them!
This daycare is a good one!

My grandson and granddaughter attended here.. My granddaughter continued to have another child show aggression towards her. When my granddaughter went to the teacher she was told repeatedly to hit her back. My daughter received a text from her teacher that a child had bit my granddaughter. Upon picking her up my daughter asked what they did and my granddaughter said they said hit her back. My daughter spoke to the closer and she knew nothing about it saying the teacher had left. The next day my daughter asked to view the camera reassuring it had nothing to do with the child, she wanted to see how the teacher handled it. The director said yes but immidiately called saying she wanted to view the camera first. She returned the call saying she would not allow her to see the footage.
Kids are stuck in a room all day, hardly no toys for them to play with, kids have no structure, teachers like to stay on their phone more then watch the children.
I send my son (Landon) and daughter (Adelay) there and have for quite a few months now. My son constantly talks of how much he loves the teachers. Also, my <1 daughter has daily updates through the app from pictures of her to the food she’s ate!! I love it and I’m glad I have my kiddos here! Safe, clean, and professional! Thank you for all you guys do for my family!
This place is an absolute joke! Please dont send your children here! If I could give 0 🌟 i would! This daycare should be shut down!
Lana and Becky were absolutely awesome working with my family and put the needs of our family first when they patiently waited while I worked out an issue with foster care payment. They had an exemplary attitude about it and went above and beyond. The staff was so good to my grandson and I could see how he charmed his way to their hearts. I could see how happy he was to be there too. I'm so grateful and I highly recommend this lovely place. Thank you so much ❤️
Very polite and curtious employees. The place is clean and professional.
Finally decided to pull my child from this facility. After reading reviews I know I'm not the only one who knows this place is not safe. I came in to drop my son off and hear the staff cursing in the baby room in front of children, loud enough for me to hear it in the hallway. The classrooms are out of ratio and out of control! One day I didn't leave until they got it under control. The managers hire people who are not adequately qualified to do their job. I've had countless incidents happen and when it's brought to their attention they pretend to care and say things will change but they only get worse. They allow multiple children to reek havoc and run around during nap time, hitting and kicking my child in the mouth while on his cot trying to sleep! Then what happens to my son? He gets sent to another room as if he's done something wrong and the other child gets to stay and carry on the same bad behavior. Day after day after day with no consequenses. No incident report was even written until after I requested it. Should have been immediately! That is UNEXCEPTABLE!!!! I WOULD NOT recommend anyone to send their children here!!!!
