Our son went to Countryside Children's Academy from 12 weeks to 2 and half and we couldn't have been happier. We felt so blessed to have had such a wonderful experience with Countryside. Watching our son flourish through the support and nurturing environment that Countryside had provided was something to see. Having to leave Countryside was probably the hardest part of our entire move away from the area. The staff were professional, courteous, exuberant, and understanding. Meenoo and Ms. Michelle were a pleasure to work with in management and our son's teachers over the years (Mrs. Carolyn and Ms. Chandria (toddlers), Ms. Nargase, Ms. Misbah (12-24 month) and Ms. Celia, Ms Nida, Ms. Rowela, the entire infant room teachers, as well as additional supporting teachers that my unfortunate memory is leaving out) were nothing short of amazing. Our son grew leaps and bounds both in physical and intellectual development. As a family with both full time working parents I cannot express in words how relieving it is to know your son is in good hands and is HAPPY. I felt that every day with Countryside. The Brightwheel app was SUPER helpful especially with keeping us up to date and notable during the COVID transitions/requirements. I could go on and on but all around love and positive memories/experience for our family during our 2 and half years with Countryside. All the best to them and the community!

I absolutely love Countryside Children's Academy! My son has been going there for over a year now and the team at Countryside has always been incredibly attentive, loving, and caring towards him. They post pictures and videos throughout the day which allow me to see all of the activities they have him involved in - which includes a lot, story time, arts and crafts, music time, playground activities, etc. He is learning and growing each day because of the excellent care they provide. One thing that I love is that he is always so excited to go to his "School" in the morning. I ask him if he wants to get ready for school and he gets so excited and heads over to the front door immediately. The simple fact that I know he love it there, is the most reassurance any parent could have in finding excellent child care. If you are new to the area or have a young child in or around Countryside, I would highly recommend you check out Countryside Children's Academy!

I'm so grateful that we chose Countryside Children's Academy to care for our youngest son. In the two and half years we have been attending, my son has grown and learned more than I thought possible. They have loved him like their own, making the transition back to work seamless. The daily pictures and videos are priceless and keep me updated on his day. He is by far more prepared for Kindergarten than any of my older children and it is because he attended CCA. I highly recommend CCA to anyone looking for a top-notch facility to care for their children.

CCA Has been a major part of our family since our first child was about 18 months old. Since then she has graduated, our second child started there at a couple months old and is still there to this day. Everyone there is so helpful and caring. They use the brightwheel app as means to keep parents up to date with what the kids are doing during that day/week/month and it works wonderfully. It’s a huge relief as a mother knowing I don’t have to worry about the little ones throughout my day. My son is currently in Ms. Carolyn's class and loves her so much! She loves those kids as if they were her own. The core group of teachers has been the same for a long time time so the turnover rate is low which is great. I’m pretty sure most of the teachers that taught my daughter 4 years ago will also have my son!

CCA has been great to both my kids and my family. I was concerned with the previous owner retiring....but the new owner has done a great job transitioning the daycare into an educational institution. At first I thought they just were building a new website, but to my surprise they also spent the year remodeling the whole center. I am excited to see my kids take part in the hands-on STEAM activities, as well as learn in a Finland-based curriculum but enough gratitude cannot be given to the staff. They are always understanding, helpful, and genuinely love my children. I would say the staff is the most caring in the area and I love it that the owner is also there everyday to oversee operations.
