“Amazing daycare! My children have grown and learned so much there. They do so many enriching activities. Their teachers clearly care about my kids and are so wonderful! We love Richfield Kindercare and are so happy we chose this for our daycare.”

“Updated after full school year: Yuup, still great!! Summer camp seems fun and some good field trips.

We've been here for most of the summer and after school and it's really great!! Amazing outdoors space, lots of fun toys and activists!!”

“The director, staff and teachers here really put in the effort to get to know your child and family. We are greeted daily by name by the team. This extra effort makes me feel safe and secure about leaving my child in their care. We are so grateful that our son has thrived in this environment and is set up for success in Kindergarten.”

“We love Primrose and had the best experience there. Our daughter attended the school from toddler to Pre-K and loved her teachers and classmates so much. The teachers were all exceptional and devoted to their students. They were kind, patient, and genuinely invested in each child’s growth and happiness.

The environment is bright, clean, and full of engaging activities that encourage creativity, learning, and social skills. Our child came home excited to share what they’d learned each day.

Communication with the staff is excellent—they kept us updated with daily notes and photos, which really put our minds at ease. It’s clear that safety, kindness, and education are top priorities here.

When our daughter started kindergarten she eased right in as she already had a solid foundation of recognizing letters, phonics, and early math (not to mention disciplined and polite behavior) thanks to Primrose.

We are so grateful for Primrose who offer an excellent before and after school program and all day care for older kids. I highly recommend this school to anyone!! Make every effort to check it out!”

“Love this place! They were so willing to work with my daughter and understood that kids are kids and they don’t always have great days. Paige & her staff has been absolutely phenomenal working with my daughter and working with me on payments. Definitely recommend!”

“We have had such a great experience here! My daughter loves Miss Michelle and all of the other teachers. Everyone is so kind. My daughter has learned a lot and I feel she is better prepared for kindergarten now.”

“My grandson had been badly hurt at another Center. My daughter and son in law were very nervous, to say the least, to try another one. They are a young family and we all have full-time jobs so the 2 children need to be enrolled. When they found this AMAZING center we were all put at ease, and at peace seeing how well cared for our babies were. The kids adore their teachers, and all their friends. Seeing my Daughter and son feel safe again, not to mention myself (a very overprotective Nonna) has been an incredible experience ❤ Thank you to this WONDERFUL STAFF for all you do...IT IS BEYOND APPRECIATED”

“The team at child time on 21st St. Is absolutely amazing. I can’t say enough about them and especially these two young girls, Alyssa and Emily. They are both so truly awesome and the energy, excitement, commitment, and transparency that the two of them have every day is unmatched and I feel so confident and my child feels so loved when they’re in their care 10 out of 10 would recommend.”

“My child has attended valley kids for the past year, and I’ve never met such a loving group of girls to take care of my child. If you’re looking for a hands on daycare to trust with your children, I’d recommended valley kids all day!”

“It's a safe and peaceful place, offering the best educational resources . My son loves the school and his teachers. The teachers are kind and helpful, and everyone at the school is cooperative”

“Our daughter has been at Kindercare for 4.5 years and we couldn’t be happier. The staff work very hard to provide a safe and enriching environment for the kids, and care for them like they’re their own children. My daughter has learned so much - phonics, Spanish, counting, etc. She even came home one day knowing all about gingivitis and the importance of dental health and she’s not even in Kindergarten yet! I’ll miss the nurturing environment they provide when my girl goes to “big school”. I couldn’t recommend them more to any parent looking for quality daycare for their child.”

“Want to commend the Center and teachers there as a whole. Ms Christina and Ms Joy are tremendous as we trust both our daughters at this Site. They love the environment created by everyone and their friends, the activities and social learning have been invaluable in their young development.

Special call-outs but not limited to Ms Amanda, Ms Angela, Ms Mel, Ms Allyssa in Preschool. With Ms Becka, Ms Cindy, Ms Nanya, Ms Shelby & Ms Shamariona in Toddlers. Ms Mel, Ms Nicole, Ms Kelly are among others that keep the day-to-day heartbeat going at the center and with the kids. This being Teacher Appreciation week, I just want to express gratitude for how they handle all the wrinkles that each and every day present with all the children and families. They make what can be a stressful decision (of who and how our children are taken care of each and everyday) into a comforting and encouraging development in the early formative years! Big thanks to all those at KinderCare in Fairlawn as a satisfied and appreciative parent.”

“Love the teachers in the infant room, Jackie and Sydney. Their passion for working with children and open lines of communication have made my transition from maternity leave to work easier than expected. They genuinely care for the development of my son, and have followed through with all of the requests I have made. I also appreciate their thoroughness for cleaning. Would highly recommend this facility.”

“What a wonderful school!
I was able to meet with teachers months and weeks before the school year even started. Each of my child's teachers have sat down with me and we have gone through my child's IEP from our school district. They listened to my concerns and we worked together to make a plan to help my child succeed in the classroom. The teachers also periodically check in with me before or after class.

My child LOVES preschool and asks to go on days they don't have school. Their imagination, vocabulary and interest in intentional play has blossomed since starting school.

I love the play based, screen free curriculum and welcoming environment. The school is in its own building with a playground and a large campus for the classes to explore. The Co-Op lets the kids be little while still preparing them for kindergarten.”

“When my oldest two children went to this school it was great, I absolutely loved it. By the time my third child went there it was a whole different management. My youngest went there for 4 days then they decided to kick her out because she did not fit in. Mind you, this was a 4-year-old and it was her first ever experience in a school setting. They couldn't even allow her to get used to the new environment or get settled down. They told me she needed to be evaluated for, I'm not even sure what exactly but reassured me that she was accepted at a preschool that dealt with children with disabilities and special ed. However, I quickly learned that that was all a lie. They never did any of it. When I took my child to the school they suggested I was told my daughter was perfectly fine and she just needed an exposure to a school setting. My daughter had to miss six whole weeks of what should have been her first experience of preschool before she was accepted and enrolled in a whole different School. Now she is in kindergarten where she happens to be one of the three top students of her peers. I will never forget the pain I felt. When my two oldest went there I've seen them deal with kids that had serious behavioral issues and were never kicked out or held accountable But my daughter, the one that couldn't sit still but did not cause any other problems was kicked out without a second thought.”

“My daughter is attending pre-k at Childtime after relocating from Maryland last year. Though Childtime has experienced some staffing challenges over the past year, I have had no doubts or concerns about the quality of my child’s care. She especially loves her teachers Ms. Kandice and Ms. Emoni who he talks about all the time. I appreciate that they are communicative and answer any questions I may have. And a special shoutout to Mr. Chris, he’s not in my daughter’s classroom but I always see him with the school agers getting them ready in the mornings and helping out where he can.”

“My son was a first generation Covid baby. We enrolled him at Macedonia Kindercare in Dec 2019. He was only in the infant room for a few months before everything was shut down, however I can say that the staff in the infant room always took incredible care of him. They updated us throughout the day using an app to let us know how he was eating and sleeping, which I loved. They sent cute pics home so that we could see what he was doing. Fast forward to preschool and pre-k, I re-enrolled him at Macedonia Kindercare. My experience was just as positive as the first. The teachers took great care in helping us set goals for him to achieve and milestones to reach. They continued to use the app to update us throughout the day. Communication with Maggie and Regina, the Director and Assistant Directors respectively, was always clear and informative. Everyone that my son was in contact with was caring, kind, and so welcoming. My son is now 3 weeks into kindergarten at a local private school. I am so proud to already be getting glowing reports about how well behaved and well prepared my son is for kindergarten. I attribute so much of his success to Macedonia Kindercare and the wonderful ladies who work there. We love you all so much and thank you for everything.”

“Our son has been enrolled in the Goddard School - Akron for just about 1 year and we have had a wonderful experience. The teachers truly care for the little ones as you would, even details as small as how your baby wants to be comforted and what temperature they like their bottles. The teachers and curriculum help push them beyond cognitive limits I as a parents didn't know were possible. My toddler will often come home and surprise us with a new skill.

They have an app that keeps you informed on your child's day, with pictures, diaper/meal updates, and any relevant notes or quick communications. The owner Marty and director Karis keep the school clean, safe, and full of fun activities happening almost every day. As an engineer I love the regimented, curriculum approach!

I often talk about how happy I am to have sent my son to Goddard School Akron, and that if I was a stay at home mom I would still want to send my son to school here because I think it's just that beneficial.”

“Love this school ! The Director Kelly is very polite and caring . She took the time to sit down and go over all my questions and welcomed me to the Childtime family .”

“Feeling so lucky to have locked in a slot at this school for my daughter for the Fall! Great area, beautiful and clean facility, with awesome teachers. I felt comfortable the moment I walked through the door which is so nice as a pregnant first time Mom. Huge weight off my shoulders knowing to have quality child care locked in and can have that peace of mind as I finish out my pregnancy. Jackie responded quickly and got me in that same day for a tour and to setup registration! 10/10 experience and can’t wait for enrollment later on this year!”

“I love this daycare/school for my kids. i have 3 kids that go here 2 our infants and one's a toddler. my toddler has shown so much improvement since he started going here. he learned his full abc, how to count, and sing songs all in just a few weeks of him starting. My toddlers been coming here for almost a year now and is still happy when he comes to school. He loves his teachers and they definitely treat all my kids special! I would recommend this daycare to anyone!”

“A safe, clean, friendly environment. A great place for swimming lessons for the kiddos. The staff takes their time and shows a lot of patience with timid swimmers. Highly recommend.”
