"The former director, Michelle, was good and valued the safety and security of my children. The new director and co-director, Angela & Tish, are great communicators and helpers. They seem to be understanding of our family dynamic. They are overall helpful.Ms. Tae/Tay (sp?) - is a YELLER AND A SCREAMER. Help her and any other teachers with redirection during the early childhood stages. I've taught elementary up to high school. I did not teach early childhood. I've only raised them. I get it. It's a challenge...and can be A LOT. If it's too much - it is not the career for you. Seek your passion instead."
"The staff and director are fantastic. Michelle Webber does an outstanding job making my daughter and I feel welcome."
"They have been very patient with my Boy, they understand the different processes children go through. I love them teachers and leadership!"
"I love how friendly and welcoming the staff have been from the beginning. I’ve had poor experiences with staff at other daycares, and the environment of Children’s Courtyard really sold me from the get go! My daughter loves going to school every day and gets to do so much during the day there to keep her busy and learning."
"Experience has been mediocre. Starting out, the building lacked security and was not fixed for weeks at a time. Multiple times per week I walk into the building and there is no adult at the front - literally anyone can walk in without an administrator noticing. I've received emails from The Children's Courtyard about how safety is top priority, but many times I've been able to access the children's area without an adult even seeing me walk in. The door has been fixed (it now locks via code) but it is still unsettling that this was allowed to drag on for so long."
"All staff are phenomenal!!! I could not be more pleased with every interaction I have. I can tell how much my kids love their teachers and vise versa. From day one they treated all of us like family and do so much for the kids. I can not say enough good things about everyone there. The older kids teachers love on my younger son, and the younger kids teachers love on my older. It is so special."
"I love the politeness and well being of the staff. The teachers are great! They make sure the children are comfortable and have why they need. I would recommend Children’s Courtyard to any parent that is in search of a nice clean and loving daycare."
"Staff is wonderful! Always happy to see my toddler and are so patient with her. She is learning a lot very quickly, it's impressive."
"Director and Interim Director have been solid throughout. There are some staff members that are less than adeq"
"I was super impressed with this center for the first year. The last three months has been the complete contrary. From sending my daughter home with another child’s pacifer, to sending her shoes home with other toddlers, allowing her to walk on the playground barefoot as a result, coming home with runny noses, being bit twice(once in the face and one on the arm), and the lack of teaching in the classrooms. This is not what we signed up for. Often times we have logged into the cameras and the kids are just being watched. At the rate of tuition this is a complete disservice to parents and it should not be acceptable. At this time me and my daughters mom have made a decision to disenroll our daughter in the upcoming week. "
"We have had an wonderful experience with CCY (especially prior to the pandemic when we could go inside the school). They take great care of our child and we feel fortunate to have found this school."
"We love that everyone seems to love there job and all the children. It gives us comfort that our son is in a loving and warm environment. Also, as new parents it is awesome that all of our questions are answered and we couldn’t have asked for a better daycare for our son to grow in. Our son started walking at 9 and a half months and is learning very quickly and we think that reason is CC"
"Our 1st visit with the school was great! I was still pregnant but we were checking out school's prior since I was returning to work. It was strange times due to Covid 19 but the school took all the precautions when reopening the school and have been great with keeping up the safety protocols. We love seeing Ms. Vanessa, Ms. Margarita, Ms. Roselvyia and Ms. Quanika. The fact my son has a smile on his face when I drop him off makes my mommy heart happy because I know the ones around him while I'm away nurture and care for him."
"Overall, we have had a generally positive experience with the school. There has been a bit of turnover which has been a bit concerning. I think the center staff and teachers have done an excellent job at keeping everyone safe and healthy to the best of their ability during this pandemic and we appreciate them so very much. More consistent, up-front communication would be appreciated. It seems as though the center is understaffed and could use some extra hands to help out."
"First of all I wanted to say thank you for Ms. Quanika for providing a clear communication to us during the school shut down. I liked enforcement for hand hygiene. The safe environment for school is the priority. I wish school, director, or teachers could enforce more of face mask policy to other parents who are not following the rule. I see parents not following school instructions for mask policy when I pick up kids or drop off time. No one seemed to mention to them. The focus of school re-opening was safe environment, I feel that director and teachers doing good job to keep up, I appreciate it. It is summer time and I wish school could push more education part, such as such as learn numbers math, spelling and projects. My overall experience to this school is good. I wish EPS/Toddler class teachers would stay longer."
