What Parents Say
Parents consistently praise Children's Academic Center for its caring staff, clean environment, and family-like atmosphere. The owner Darlene and teachers are highlighted as wonderful with children of all ages and developmental needs. The center offers school bus service and maintains affordability.
My grandaughters have attended Children's Academic Center for several years and they love it! The owner, Darlene, is wonderful! The teachers are great with the children! My oldest granddaughters want to work there when they are old enough. The youngest isn't old enough to know what she wants to do yet. :-)
My daughter has been going here for nearly two years now. At three years of age she still doesn't speak and the ladies at this daycare work wonderfully with her speech therapist. In fact everyone there works wonderfully with my daughter, they got a fish tank in her room when they noticed the one in another room soothed her, they adjust their schedules to make things easier on her when she's with the teachers she's particular to and it is honestly just a lovely daycare. It may not be 'up to date' with the latest of technologies and sometimes the communications between teachers is a bit lacking but the care and love they have for the kids shows.
I have three children, 3, 2 & 8 months and they love the center. I love the staff! The environment is clean and they are affordable. Update: now 4 children, 6,5,4,2 all come here and love Ms. Darlene and the staff. These ladies are amazing with the kids, there is always something for them to do and it really helps that the school bus is able to pick up and drop off.
My son went to the daycare and preschool there he was there from 3 month's old to 5 years old. It's a great daycare. The staff made him feel and us feel like family.
My child loves it here, and the director is so nice and understandable about situations..
