“For the last 3 1/2 years, MKK has been my daughter's home away from home. Every single day she wakes up wanting to go to school. Every single day she learns something new she needs to tell me about. She plays hard, she explores her feelings, she has never had a single problem.
Unfortunately she is moving on to kindergarten this year, and I can only hope she never has the fire of learning put out that MKK has nurtured.
Every single interaction I have had with the staff has been positive, I can not say enough good things.”
“Worked with Starletta the manager and Anna in person and had a great time working through some visitations per temporary parenting plan. You can apply for a sliding scale pricing based on income and they were very flexible and empathetic and helped me through that transition with kindness.”

“My son attended here as his first daycare at 2 years. He had a hard time being separated from me but the staff was supportive, patient and caring. He moved to the 2.5+ class and took some time getting used to it but he did fine with the help of the staff. Ms. Melanie and Ms. Miranda were great with my son and always made sure he was safe. The center was accommodating and very kind about my schedule and understanding of our particular needs. It was so nice to find a place that offered part time.”

“The communication is amazing here and all of the updates throughout the day make it more comfortable to leave your child in their care. All the food updates, diaper checks and pictures ease your mind knowing they’re good and happy!”
“We feel very fortunate that our daughter is at Cadence Academy. She learns an incredible amount each day with the curriculum and enjoys her toddler friends and her caring, dedicated teachers. We are alongside her with the technology they use streaming live updates. We started in the infant room at 4 months and overall, it has been a great experience.”
“My son has been attending this school since he was 1 year and 11 months old, and now he is already 5 years old. He loves this school so much and has grown up here with so many happy memories. As he prepares to start kindergarten, he keeps saying he doesn’t want to leave his teachers because he loves them dearly.
The teachers here are incredibly caring, patient, and dedicated. They always make the children feel safe, loved, and supported. I’m truly grateful for everything they have done for my son and our family. Thank you for creating such a warm and wonderful environment for the children.”
“Was a little concerned when I first brought in my Son since he hadn't been in a facility daycare before and was wondering how he would cope but he loves it, am at peace knowing he is happy, thriving and well taken care of, we are so grateful to be part of this family, its clean, well organized, knowledgeable and friendly staff, variety of activities and healthy kid friendly meals, my only regret is I should have brought him much earlier.”

“My daughter had such a great first experience with her Pre-K class here at Little Scholars. The staff was attentive, and understood my situation in needing childcare within a certain timeframe.
They were ultimately very flexible, kind, and courteous to both myself and my little one. She was quick to make friends, and will look back on the fun memories made there!”
“My son started going to daycare here when he was 10 months old after changing him daycares three different times before I FINALLY found kreative kidz in Lakewood. My son is now almost 3 and will attend this daycare until he goes to school. Ms.Mary is absolutely amazing, so sweet, very communicative and always makes sure I am notified if anything happens. The staff at kreative kidz are so amazing, every single one of them always welcome my son with a smile and he always leaves with a smile and is happy as ever! I absolutely love kreative kidz they all remind me of a big family , wouldn’t take my son anywhere else after finding them! Huge shoutout to Ms.Blanca & Ms.Raquel as well, they make me feel at peace dropping my son off everyday knowing he will be well taken care of.”

“My child has recently finished their first year at this preschool and Mrs. Sam has been great. The other parents at scp have been easy to get along with. There is always an awesome craft or art piece that they come home with.
It's been great seeing how fast all of the kids are developing their minds and social skills. Scp has also helped provide a gentle environment in which I can see how my child is doing and stay with them if it's needed.
My child is excited to go back to this school and seeing the friends they have made in the fall and I am looking forward to seeing all the fun they will have at school next year!”
“My 2.5 old has been attending kindercare for the last year or so (second kiddo of mine to be enrolled here).
Kindercare has been an amazing home away from home for both of my kiddos. We absolutely love ALL of the staff. Communication is amazing and we love to get our daily updates on the app. Shout out to Ms Jericha, teacher Kai, Ms Samantha, and Ms Ashley! ! We appreciate everyone there! I would definitely recommend kindercare to my friends and family.”
“Open indoor play every Saturday this summer. Babies will love it!!! And their older siblings will love it also. I spent 2 hours crocheting and watching my grandkids play. FUN for everyone.”

“I love this center and all the staff! I had 3 kids under 5 there at one time!
I always felt communicated with and my kids are always happy!
It’s hard to find people to trust your babies and I know they were in good hands always!
I brought them here because the last center we used, had illness after illness.
They clean regularly and every Friday they deep clean.
It helps a lot!”

“Annie Wright Schools is the best possible education available in our area. My kids have attended for the last 11 years, throughout Lower school, Middle school and now into Upper school and every grade has been outstanding. The faculty and staff are incredibly supportive, the academics are at the highest level, and we love the school community. My kids love going to school and that is the highest praise of all.”
“Both my kids have attended this day care, the relationships I have grown with the teachers are great. And Ms. Jennifer ms. Dorthy & Ms. Pam rock! 10/10 I do recommend ?”
