What Parents Say
Cherry Lane receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from most parents, with praise for caring staff, nurturing environment, and child development support. However, one detailed negative review raises serious concerns about infant care safety, including a reported burn incident, feeding inconsistencies, and alleged retaliation after complaints were made.
Cherry Lane has been an exceptional place for my children. The staff is caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in every child's growth and happiness. It’s been such a joy to watch my kids learn new things and gain confidence each day. The environment is warm, nurturing, and structured in a way that supports both education and play. I couldn’t ask for a better team to help guide my children through these important early years!
Cherry Lane is an amazing learning center and has become such an important part of our lives. My daughter has been there for over 4 years and throughout her time there she has learned so much and been extremely well taken care of. The owners, office staff, and teachers always have the best interests of children at heart. They are positive, attentive, creative, kind, and knowledgeable about child development. Many have been there for years, which I value. When my daughter is at Cherry Lane I know she is safe, loved, active, and engaged in play and learning. Now that she is in the school-age before/after care program at Cherry Lane, I see that she was well-prepared for elementary school. She loves going to Cherry Lane every day and I cannot recommend Cherry Lane enough.
I switched my son to cherry lane preschool about a month ago and to say the least I am OVER THE MOON happy with this daycare. Cheri, the owner, is a total sweetheart, and always makes sure my son and I are taken care of. I can call to address any issues I have at anytime and to check on my son. The staff are all so sweet and caring and my son is happy. He has also grown in maturity and independence since starting here. The school is clean and very family oriented. I would never send my son anywhere else. Love it!
My husband and I used Cherry Lane for two of our children - one was in the infant room and one was in the toddler room. I could not recommend this daycare, the directors, and the teachers enough!!!! They really, genuinely cared for my children and my family. Jen, Cheri, Tori and all the others became like friends to me and took amazing care of the kids. Unfortunately, we have relocated and it’s no longer convenient to travel to Cherry Lane. We chose to put our daughter in a different, more well known daycare that was closer to us - while I have no complaints at all with our new daycare, my husband and I say weekly that we miss our time at Cherry Lane. I was shocked when I saw any bad reviews of this daycare, and I implore anyone looking for a great daycare to try Cherry Lane!! I have only wanted the very best for my kids, and this daycare is it.
I highly recommend Cherry Lane to anyone in the area who is looking for trustworthy, compassionate caregivers. The teachers are friendly and always willing to listen to any concerns that I’ve had, or special requests that I’ve made. Their patience and kindness have helped create a comfortable and safe place for my children. Overall, Cherry Lane has a welcoming family vibe, so if you like a more cold, corporate-type daycare provider, I don’t think this is the place for you. And because her name was shared previously, I want to mention that I’ve gotten to know Jen quite well these last few years and it’s obvious that she cares for the children in her room on a personal level. She is super sweet and an absolute gem – Cherry Lane is lucky to have her! :)
