What Parents Say
Green Acres Preschool receives mostly positive reviews praising the hands-on director, caring staff, and calm environment. However, one parent reported witnessing a teacher aggressively handling their 1-year-old and expressed concerns about the facility's response and safety practices.
My son attended this daycare when he was 1 year old, and this experience has stayed with me ever since. I am still deeply affected by what I witnessed and have struggled to trust another adult with my child because of it. One day, I got off work early and arrived sooner than usual to pick up my son. As I walked past the front desk and approached his classroom, I witnessed his teacher aggressively yank him and scream “STOP” directly in his face. She did not see me or realize I had observed this interaction. When I entered the classroom moments later, she greeted me cheerfully and said he had “an amazing day.” I calmly told her that I had seen what happened. Her response was, “I’m so sorry, I get angry sometimes and I’m working on it.” I was in shock and unsure how to respond in that moment, given the setting. After this, my significant other came to the school to request further information. We were told the director would call us. When I later spoke with the director, the explanation given was that the teacher had sprayed cleaning products on the trash and did not want my son to touch it. This raised even more concern for me—why were cleaning products being sprayed in an area accessible to 8+ toddlers? Seeing my innocent child treated this way was heartbreaking, and the handling of the situation left me deeply concerned about supervision, safety practices, and emotional care at this facility. No parent should ever witness or experience something like this.
I really struggled with coming to terms of finding a daycare for my daughter after being use to an in home daycare. I love Ms. Diana and so does my doodle bug(3 yr old classroom)! She is so sweet and I can feel how she genuinely cares about the kids. The director Mrs. Melissa is the best director you could ask for. I have worked in childcare for over 5+ years and I have never seen a director so hands on, patient and reassuring. It amazes me that no matter what time I drop off or pick up it’s nice, quiet and smells good. Most daycares are loud or someone is screaming crying but nope even the baby room is always settled and in their comfort zone. Everyone is always polite and friendly even the young ladies that assist in the afternoons!
This is the best daycare around!! Melissa runs a tight ship. My kids have been going there for 18 years. I love green acres and trust no one else.
Best daycare and pre school around! We love them!
