Barnyard Kids Child Care Center

This is the very first daycare my boys have attended and I couldn’t imagine taking them anywhere else. They love their friends and teachers. The staff here have also helped my youngest get potty trained. I am forever grateful for Barnyard Kids!

My son has been attending BKLC for about 3 months and I have had nothing but good experiences with them. My son has limited mobility in his left arm and his teacher as well as the admin have been nothing but accommodating to him and share/celebrate his progress with me. His teacher sends me updates and pictures of him through the day which I appreciate and look forward too as well as the art work and lessons he does almost daily. I’m glad I found a place that I’m comfortable with taking my child too!

I have lived in hawkins for a total of 4 months and had very VERY high expectations for any school I put my daughter (4 years old) into and they have exceeded everyone of them. The owner is by far one of sweetest people I have meet in the childcare industry and her teachers are amazing and give my daughter the love I hoped they would, no matter what people say this school is great for kids and has helped my daughter tremendously so thank you Barnyard learning center for all you do. Sincerely, A caring dad

DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS TO THIS DAYCARE!!!! THIS IS A NEGATIVE 1000 STAR REVIEW. The only reason why my son even went to this daycare is because his old daycare (Kountry Kids Daycare) in Hawkins closed. My child was NEVER a problem at his old daycare and all of his teachers loved him. My son (who is 3) has only been going to this daycare for 4 DAYS. On Monday which was his FIRST DAY I was told that he pushed open the door to the preschool room and was trying to escape. I even noticed MYSELF that the door to the preschool room DOES NOT LATCH. I have shut that door multiple times this week and it only latched one time. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE because my son should not be able to push open a door and go through it at daycare. On Tuesday nothing was said until the next day. On Wednesday I was told that while my son was outside he was throwing toys and the teacher that day sat him down for a little and he was fine afterwards. On Thursday (TODAY) I was told that my son has a behavioral problem and all week they kept asking me how I deal with him acting this way. And every time I told them that if you tell him to stop doing something or tell him no he will listen. I also asked them how they dealt with my child when he acted out and the refused to show me. At this point they were not redirecting him because he does listen. I also asked to see the cameras and they refused to show them to me. My son is not a bad kid nor does he have a behavior problem. I also asked the teachers at his old daycare if my son had a behavior problem and they told me that he DID NOT and that they would talk to him and be patient with him. They have lied on my child and I DO NOT PLAY WHEN IT COMES TO MY KIDS.

This is the only place that I have trusted with the care of my son since I went back to work. The people there have been like a second family to us helping comfort him when he was sad for me to leave. Teaching him everything to get ready for school. Hugging and holding him if he just wasn’t feeling up to it that day. It was a very sad day to see him graduate and go to pre-K but the people here will be dearly missed. Big shout out to the Barnyard kids crew we will miss y’all and hope that everyone else gets to share the experience that we had at Barnyard .
