The Academy Child Development Center

If I could give 1,000 stars, I would without hesitation. Ms. Jasmine is truly a gift — not just to my child, but to our entire family. From the very first day, she became Josie’s safe place. Knowing my daughter walks into a classroom where she feels understood, loved, and supported has meant more to me than I can put into words. Ms. Jasmine goes far beyond teaching — she sees her students, she learns them, and she meets them exactly where they are. There were days I walked in for pickup anxious, preparing myself for a hard conversation, but Ms. Jasmine always met us with reassurance, patience, and compassion. She never made us feel discouraged — only hopeful. She has handled Josie’s individual needs with so much grace, both academically and emotionally, and has helped her grow in confidence in ways that truly matter. Thank you, Ms. Jasmine, for loving our daughter so well and for being such a steady, caring presence in her life. We will always be grateful for the impact you’ve made on our family. ❤️

My kid is really happy in Cedars, and I’m never worried about him. He is 6 months old now. I know he’s very well taken care of and he is happy. He (and I) love Ms. Hannah, Ms. Emma, Ms. Marisa, and Ms. Georgia. My kid gets the biggest smile when he sees any of them, they all give him lots of love and I know Ms. Hannah is super organized and has excellent work ethics and attention to detail. Thank you for taking such good care of Lorenzo! <3

I would like to give a shout out to Hannah, who teaches in the Infant A classroom, as an exceptional daycare teacher. She shows genuine love not only for the children in her care, but also for the work she does every day. From the moment the babies arrive each morning, Hannah makes sure to hug and carry them so they feel safe, welcomed, and loved. That intentional care sets the tone for the entire day and speaks volumes about her dedication. Hannah consistently goes above and beyond to keep parents connected. She regularly sends multiple pictures of the children playing, laughing, and enjoying their day, which brings so much reassurance to families. As the parent of an 11-month-old, those updates mean everything and reinforce the trust I have in her. It is clear that Hannah truly cares about each child as an individual. Her warmth, attentiveness, and passion create a nurturing environment where children feel happy and secure. She makes a meaningful impact on both the children in the Infant A room and their families, and she is truly deserving of recognition as a great teacher.

Hannah in the Infant A room is an amazing teacher. She truly loves the babies and it shows every day. She always greets them with hugs or by holding them when they arrive, which helps them feel safe and comfortable right away. Hannah also keeps parents in the loop by sending pictures throughout the day. She does fun arts and crafts with the babies for holidays and special events, which is so special to see. Knowing our child is happy and well cared for makes a huge difference. We are so thankful for Hannah, and she absolutely deserves to be recognized as a great teacher.

We have been with Cedars for just about two years now. While the overall turnover rate in staff has been more than usual, I’ve never felt that my children were unsafe here. From Ms. Dawn and Ms. Kayla being the welcoming faces in the front to Ms. Melissa in the kitchen making sure all the kids are fed, the staff they have cares. We’ve especially enjoyed Ms. Jasmin with the three year old class. She was the driving force behind our son getting potty trained. Her, Ms. Yolanda, and Ms. Stephanie have made that class so much fun. Our one year old is in love with Ms. Izly in the one’s class. She loves all her babies along with Ms. Jamin. Our only complaint is about the company that took over the internal operational aspect, O2B. Their parent notification “app” is horrible.
