Countryside Early Learning Center

My son has been attending this daycare for two years now and I can confidently say it has been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. He’s moved through different age groups and had multiple teachers during his time here and every single one of them has been caring, patient, and genuinely invested in his growth. This isn’t just a place where kids are fed and entertained. They truly teach. My son comes home singing new songs, using new words, and surprising us daily with things he’s learned. They focus on learning through play, building independence, and nurturing their little personalities, and it shows. The staff treats the children like their own and the environment feels warm, safe, and full of love. Watching how much my son has grown academically, socially, and emotionally while being here has given us so much peace of mind as parents. We are so grateful for this daycare and the amazing team behind it. Highly recommend to any parent looking for more than just childcare, this place helps children thrive.

A Truly Exceptional Early Learning Center! Countryside Early Learning Center has been a part of our family’s journey for over a decade, and I cannot speak highly enough of the incredible care, dedication, and quality of education they provide. My daughter, Caidence, started at Countryside when she was just 11 months old and continued all the way through VPK. Her experience was so positive and enriching that, 12 years later, there was no doubt in my mind where my son would go. He began his journey there at 8 months old and also graduated from their VPK program. The staff at Countryside are more than caregivers—they’re educators who genuinely love what they do. Both of my children were not only well cared for but also left the program reading confidently and fully prepared for kindergarten. Their time at Countryside laid a strong foundation for their educational success, and I credit the nurturing, structured, and engaging environment for setting them on the right path. It’s rare to find a place that offers both peace of mind for parents and such a meaningful start for children. I’m endlessly grateful to everyone at Countryside Early Learning Center for the role they’ve played in my children’s lives. Highly, highly recommended! Amber and Devin Brill

Our experience with this school has been nothing short of amazing. Our child has been attending since he was two, and now he’s thriving in the VPK program. The teachers are loving and professional, providing a structured environment that helps each child grow. They are preparing him with all the skills and confidence he needs to succeed in kindergarten. Communication is clear and consistent; they truly partner with us as a team. We’re so grateful for their care and dedication, and we highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a nurturing, supportive place where their child can truly thrive.

My children have been enrolled here for years. This staff has been great to my children. I found it to be clean and so encouraging. Back when my boo was just an Itty Bitty, oh they were so sweet and I could use the app to tell them I missed him and they would take a moment from watching all the kids to send a picture. Then he was a toddler and he had this huge grassy lawn with endless room to play in and a teacher that I agreed with was ready to help with potty training. I don't agree with uniforms (personal battle with it all my life) but that's it. Now my new baby is with them too and the staff was counting down waiting for them like we were and so sweet. My children are safe, my son is constantly in this "book nook" pretending to read and they are ready to teach, to dance, to play and change diapers. They give reports, send pictures and answer questions, I trust them and appreciate them.

Throughout his time at the school, I raised multiple concerns with the directors, including poor communication from teachers, billing issues, and problems with accommodating my son's dietary needs. These concerns appeared to frustrate the administration, and I began to feel that we were being treated differently as a result. One day when I picked my son from school, he told me that she had kicked him. I immediately questioned him further, but the teacher interrupted, stating, “I did not hit you,” and then claimed he had been disruptive after nap time and had a “bad afternoon.” I reported this to the school immediately, but was told the directors were not available. I emphasized that this was an emergency and was told I would receive a call back. Over the weekend, I asked my son about the incident multiple times, and he consistently told me that the teacher had kicked him and pointed to his shin where it allegedly happened. When the director eventually called me back, I asked that the security footage be reviewed. She told me the cameras were not working properly due to a lightning strike, but said she would try to retrieve the footage. Later, we were invited to a parent-teacher conference. During that meeting, the director claimed the video showed my son hitting the teacher—not the other way around—but refused to show us the footage due to “privacy concerns.” I challenged this reasoning, as I see the other children every day, and am familiar with them. Despite this, they refused to share the video and shifted all blame onto my son. Following that meeting, we began receiving a series of incident reports accusing my son of violent behavior. Eventually, he was expelled from the school. Based on my knowledge of my child, I do not believe he acted violently unless provoked. I believe these reports were retaliatory and used to justify his removal from the program after I raised concerns. Additionally, despite providing a doctor’s note and two food exemption forms to accommodate my son's dietary needs, the school resisted our efforts. They complained about the food we brought for him. When I emailed them to formally address this, they responded with a phone call instead of a written reply, likely to avoid putting their refusal in writing. Avoid this school at all costs.
