Meadow Oaks Academy INC.

Avoid Bringing your small child at the very least. **READ TILL THE END** I have debated long and hard on writing a review, but for the mere fact that I'm having personal difficulties finding a GOOD caretaker for my daughter, I feel like I need to say something. At first this location seemed like a great idea. The director seemingly heard our concerns because of an experience at a different facility. However, the only person by the end of our daughter's time there, that I appreciated most-- was her teacher because she seemed to be the ONLY one who took our concerns seriously. In some cases, I know my daughter can be considered sassy and feisty. However, we expressed she learned behaviors from her previous school and we were working through this. This DOES NOT MEAN it is okay to address that my daughter is the ONLY one instigating when we have clarity from the teacher that she plays well with others. Especially before the last incident that happened to her. The first, maybe even the second time, we received a incident form? THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN PRIORITIZED. At the very least, until the issues have been resolved. However, due to lack of care from front staff, incidents happened for weeks! Leaving us with questions, concerns for her safety and whether or not if I, the MOM, was taken seriously. And the main problem? Wasn't even the child. Was HARDLY the teacher. She did her best and I believe her. It is with the front office! I expressed so many times that I worked at a daycare, I understood as a teacher you cannot watch them like hawks. I AM AWARE YOU CANNOT PARENT THE PARENTS!! But I was treated like I was overbearing and needed a pat on the shoulder. (To which i reluctantly received from the director.) While they turn and tell my husband it is handled, and they understood. Only to repeat the same issues back to back. THEN TO RUSH MY PARENTS THROUGH A BREAKDOWN OF WHAT THEY WILL SEE?? Was so concerning because as the parent, I already let them know! So it presented a DEFENSIVE tactic to protect themselves and get their side in. Then an office member telling my daughter to, "bE sO FoR rEaL," when she is CRYING because she DOES NOT WANT TO BE THERE and wants to stay with mom??? Seriously?? You see these kids in a 'controlled' facility and don't know what they are crying for. She literally had a long night prior to this! It was already alarming enough to see this same office member laugh at a 3-4 year old for running into a wall and saying, "that's what you get for talking crap," literally on my first week with them. So all in all, move with caution. I pray they make changes. And I certainly hope they understand why my daughter was removed earlier than our move date after seeing this was my POV and how my family is still affected by it.

Do not bring your child here. Safety is literally every parents top priority with their kids and this daycare failed to keep my child safe & act within a timely manner notifying her parents of an issue until 24 hrs later. They allowed me to bring my child with no knowledge of the incident and repeatedly made excuses stating they were busy and had a daycare to run. The assault is on camera and they most definitely will be held accountable for not keeping my child safe. They had no problem handing me a statement showing we were due for the week but neglected to tell me about the assault that happened to my child. I wish I could get what I saw out of my head, as a mom DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILD HERE!!! We have filed complaints with state agencies and made a police report. We will pursue every rightful action to make sure this daycare is held responsible for the negligence with keeping my daughter safe and acting within a timely manner to notify her parents. Kara should not be a director if running a daycare is so much more important than notifying parents of an issue of this magnitude. They had 0 problem asking for money but had 0 urgency in keeping my daughter safe. They have video evidence & Kara dragged her feet in reviewing ...even after called the police and waited almost an hour she still claims she didn't review the video fully, tried to give us a different # to call and report instead of having the 800 posted as required by law to report incidents or complaints. Do not, Do not, Do not bring your child here. I also wanted to add, this is not a Montessori school or curriculum as advertised. They do not do adequate work/ learning to count as such. My child has not progressed nearly as fast as she did from her 1st daycare. The work is often on credit adjustment papers, no real work just coloring.

To the lady driving your school bus near Beltline and Hwy 80 at 9am... SHAME ON YOU! I hope there were no children being transported.

My son was/is very shy when it comes to others, so we did a lot of research for schools to put him in. When we came here this was the only one he smiled at, fast forward to now.My son has been attending the Meadow Oaks Academy preschool for about a year and some change now, and he has opened up so much and has his top 3 buddies. Long story short, he may not like getting up early but he loves going to school and if that doesn’t say something about how well the students are treated here idk what else would.

My daughter just turned 4 and has been going to this private preschool since she was 18 months, The level of professionalism at this school exceeds my expectations! My daughter enjoys this school so much and each day I “can” “feel” and “see” she is learning and not just having fun, she even speak full sentences Lol and nooo splitting verbs. Also using words a 5th grader would compels and overwhelms Me. Every other day it’s something new. I Love the location as well , which is convenient than important to me, everyone there greets the children and parents with exceptional care and always makes you feel welcomed and know when you leave, that your child/children are wayyy taken care of, she only been to one learning center before this preschool and it was only for a very short period of time (6weeks) because she was on the waiting list initially to get into Meadow Oaks, Being a first time mother, This is one of the best decisions I have made being a mother and I have no regrets !!! Thank you 🙏🏾 and God bless❤️
