They love my baby so much and that’s all I care about. One day I forgot his formula and they went to the store and bought him some for me. They have drop-in rates which is AMAZING. And they have an app which tells you everything your baby did during the day. I love my baby’s teachers in the newborn room but the rest of the desk staff and teacher staff has always been welcoming as well. I teach kindergarten so I know what to look for when working with kids. During picture day I was able to observe how the staff interacted with the older kids and their love felt so genuine. The older kids were extremely well behaved while waiting to get their picture taken and their teachers kept doting on how beautiful the kids looked in their outfits. It made my mama heart smile. We toured approximately 6 daycares before we picked this one and we are very happy with our choice!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I absolutely love this daycare! ❤️ My little one started in the baby room with Ms. Bayda, and I was so impressed with how caring and patient she was. Babies can be difficult—especially mine, since he used to cry a lot—but seeing how calm and happy he was there made me feel confident that we chose the right place. I loved how Ms. Bayda even did little crafts with the babies! I took a break to be a stay-at-home mom for a year, but when I decided to send him back to daycare, I toured several places. None of them felt quite right, even though some were closer to home. Luckily, this daycare had space again, and I was able to re-enroll him. He absolutely loves it here and has so much fun with the other kids. The teachers are wonderful, and the owner is always helpful and understanding. I’m so grateful we found this place, and I hope my son can stay here until he’s ready for school!
As a mom of two toddlers, finding the right daycare was one of the most important (and nerve-wracking!) decisions I’ve had to make, but I couldn’t be happier with this program. The staff (Ms Sarai, Ms Frankie, Ms Bobby, Ms Vanessa just to name a few) are incredibly caring, patient, and supportive, and it truly shows in how much my kids love coming here every day. They’ve created such a nurturing environment where my children feel safe, loved, and excited to learn and play. It’s such a comforting feeling as a parent to know they’re in such good hands and genuinely happy when I drop them off. I’m so thankful for the teachers and staff who go above and beyond to make every child feel special. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a place that feels like an extension of home. ❤️
Prior to enrolling my young son, I was transparent about his past challenges with transitions and self-regulation. I specifically discussed strategies that are widely supported in the field; such as gradual transitions, relationship-based entry, and collaborative communication between teachers and families (as recommended by the National Association for the Education of Young Children [NAEYC] and supported by research). I was assured that he would be given a fair three-week adjustment period to settle in and build trust with staff. Unfortunately, his enrollment was terminated after only a few days, without adequate time or consistent application of those evidence-based supports. Research consistently emphasizes that early childhood educators should approach behavioral challenges through proactive, developmental, and relational strategies, not exclusion. Scholars such as Gilliam et al. (2016) have shown that early expulsions and premature program removals can negatively affect a child’s sense of safety, attachment, and long-term adjustment. When children display dysregulated behaviors, best practice calls for structured observation, communication with families, and supportive intervention planning, not immediate removal. In addition, when care is discontinued by the provider, ethical practice and transparency dictate that families not be charged for services not rendered. Despite paying for the full week of care, the center declined to offer a pro-rated refund for the two unused days following their decision to end enrollment. We remained cooperative and respectful throughout this process, but this experience left us feeling that the program prioritizes convenience over child development. As an educator, educational advocate, researcher, and a parent (who's child will eventually attend Buford City Schools), I hope Buford Children’s Academy reflects on this situation and considers strengthening its transition policies, administration training in understanding social-emotional support, and family communication practices to align with current research and professional standards in early childhood education.
This daycare welcomed me with open arms and made me feel comfortable bringing my grandchildren here. It’s very hard trying to find care that actually feels like home and you can trust, but Buford Children’s Academy gives me assurance that they will protect my grandchildren while Im away. The teachers are very friendly. And the communication app they use is very helpful!
