Bertha Academy LLC

Teachers are nice and patient with the kids. Some of them left like Miss Dorothy, my child loves her. Inside of the building is decorated and organized however it needs Air Purifier and somewhat a bit of air freshener. The owner charges a 3yrs old $195/week. They closed the daycare as much and more than CCISD. These are little babies and kids yet this daycare is copying the school districts holidays plus the daycare have their own off days. I asked the owner to give me a copy of sign in/sign out logs of my child but she said I need to call my lawyer. **Key Aspects of Parents Rights in Texas-entitled to access records concerning your childs attendance and sign in/sign out logs. If a daycare refuses these requests you can contact Texas Health and Human Services** I gave the owner a written and signed request plus a stock of white papers to use but then she never get back with me and it’s been almost a year since then. Also the owner does not give weekly receipts. I addressed her about getting receipts but she is such dismissive.

Bertha Academy was the best daycare I could have chosen for my child. He started when he was a year and a half old and stayed until his graduation today—almost four years—and I never had a single problem with anyone. Ms. Margaret was always available whenever I had any questions, and all the teachers were incredibly kind! My child learned a lot there and was always happy to go. I definitely recommend this daycare 100%

Bertha Academy is a home away from home for our little one. Miss Margaret has been so kind from the start of our first tour to now all these years later. We can't be more thankful to find a child care facility that is clean, safe, thorough in teaching, and fun for our little one. My baby comes home happy and you can tell what he learned that day by how he behaves. He has known them since he was a baby in their baby room and really loves it here. I cherish every craft sent home and their yearly family day they gift us. All of the teachers are very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Bertha Academy.

This is for: Parents with children going to daycare for their first time. Parents with jobs that can't work dureing messy weather. Parents who are constantly moving or working with 1 income. Parents that cant get help in time from twc. This daycare center got tired of dealing with my son because we got behind on payments. Though that wasnt supposed to happen it did. My son also pulled the fire alarm out of curiosity in his last week of attending. I pulled him out because when i thanked margret for calling me to inform me... her response was "sure". My son loves taunting people now and he learned that from a select few other children who are attending (currently). Based on what ive heard and how the tone has changed everytime ive spoken with Margaret, our apologies ended up becoming just words passing through the ear. If they dont think I addressed any and all concerns they began to have, I did. Matter of fact, I started actually spanking my child until I was told Hunters being taunted.. and that the teacher is either overlooking it and only catching the part where he reacts, or just doesnt care. I dont condone hitting. I changed my approach and went back to stern talks, and rewards for good behavior. I dont have the proper village it takes to help so a couple of times he was picked up 17 minutes late (2 maybe 3 times at most). When my son first started, he would be upset when coming home from daycare for a number of reasons. One being he was the one getting hit. Said by the daycare worker on multiple occasions. The daycare worker also said Hunter was a doll at first (angel to be axact). So what happened is my question? How did my son go from sweet, caring, and helpful. To peeing himself in the nap cot because he didn't want someone to take it away from him. Side note that's relevant: weve had an ongoing toy situation where the toy he is playing with keeps getting takin from him and waved around in his face. Anyways back to peeing on the cot...they put clothes on him that weren't his. We are supposed to bring an exchange of clothes in which we did... but those grew legs and walked away. Don't be fustrated with the child. Be fustrated with whoever decided the fire alarm should be at reaching level for the toddlers. Ive also gathered that the daycare workers dont know how to console a child that is having a breakdown. I just want to point out that ive successfully pulled my son out of tantrums before and he has never bit me or punched me. So I dont know where this is coming from.. or i do and dont wanna make the "academy" feel incompetent . Its not coming from the jujitsu class I put him in because this started before that. He minds the instructor or the instructor puts him in his place. A place that he built out of building a bond. There is some sort of efery happening because he does not act that way or we just simply handle it better since we aren't looking after so many children at once. At the end of the day we were behind on payments by $600 and I dont just get a feeling from nothing. They were getting tired of what seemed like excuses. I get it. But they weren't excuses. We lost our emotional support dog of 8 years in June right before his birthday. Ended up moving in July. And all the rain that recently took place covered my route at work... causing very short checks. So is it my sons fault or is it mine for the reasoning behind the "gave up on him" vibes? A parent should not feel what im feeling when choosing their village of a daycare center/academy. "Sure" he learned some things... but in all, his interacting skills went down the drain and im having to fish it back up. He was not like this 😔

Our son went here for about a year, and prior to choosing Bertha Academy, we toured MANY Corpus daycare facilities. By far, Bertha Academy had the cleanest & most well-kept location, with a beautiful building right on Saratoga. Very hands on director and the staff were always kind and respectful to our family. It was so cute that they change the interior & exterior decor often to match the season/holiday. We were happy to find it, and have a safe place for him to be while we worked.
