Honestly just a terrible ran place. The director Patti clearly doesnt know her left foot from her right. Shes very unprofessional. Lettings kids go out of ratio multiple times, even letting sick kids into the daycare, including ones that tested positive for RSV. Not a single worker stays past two weeks and the ones who do are treated very poorly. Again this all falls back to the director. I can guarantee that i would never allow my child to go to such a mockery. Just a shame.

My son has been going here for over a year now..and he loves it. Everyone there is awesome and you can tell they care about the kids and enjoy their job. Even with covid going on they take all the precautions to make me and our family feel more safe. If I could give 100 stars I would. Hands down the best!!

I would highly recommend Childcare Network on Old Thomasville Road. The teachers and directors I have had contact with have all been super!!! My son started going there last summer and LOVED the summer program and loves going after school. He looks forward to teacher work days just so he can go to daycare. The staff is always pleasant when you walk in and out of the building!! Great Job Childcare Network, keep up the good work!!!!

I’m sorta new to the daycare experience. I gotta tell you I took my time choosing a place because I wanted it to be right. I toured four places including this one. I am Extremely pleased so far. The staff and I mean Everyone is friendly and warm at all times from the tour to the every day routine and it’s not easy spending your days caring properly for children but they always have a kind word or a smile. I don’t know this but it feels like a bunch of moms in there which is quite honestly, comforting. My son got quickly past the roughest stage of adjusting to a new place because they hugged on him and cared to comfort him as his mom is leaving him to go to work. This facility is so colorful and I don’t mean just the cute art and kid friendly things wall to wall that attract children. I mean there’s a beautiful harmonious blend of different races. It’s important to me that my child learn and be surrounded by quite frankly what I think Heaven is going to look like some day and the importance of character. We live in an unkind world and I want him to love everyone as I believe the Lord wants us to. I trust them. Period. When I pick him up I see staff cleaning mopping shaking out rugs spraying cleaner and wiping tables and toys down taking trash out. It seems to me in all they do - it’s a team effort. I adore the emails letting me know the curriculum for the day and menu etc. I feel connected and that alone deters the mom guilt we all feel for those of us who have to work and leave our most precious valuables in the care of someone else. I’m thankful I am lucky enough to find this precious gem and its worth Every penny. I look forward to exploring all that my son is learning as he shares each day with me with a joyful heart. Thank you Patti, Mylana, Kelly, Lynn, Crystal just to name a few.

I am very displeased with this daycare. The teachers all seem very nice but my five year would constantly come home and tell me things that just didnt seem right. When I looked at the daycare they told me that children are not forced to take naps, although my five year old would say the four year old teacher yelled at her really loud to lay down and go to sleep, also she peed in her pants many times because they were outside and again the four year old teacher would not allow her to go inside and use the potty because she had already used it too many times. Another time she wasnt allowed to get up and use the potty, she had to wait to use the bathroom after quiet time!! I heard one teacher tell the students not to follow a certain child because he wasnt very smart! - My son who is 1 years old cannot tell me what was happening to him but I could see by his behavior that he was very unhappy. He would always cry when I dropped him off in the toddler room, he started waking up in the middle of the night after already learning to sleep through the night, with what seemed like nightmares. He also came home with various scratches and bruises that no one seemed to be able to explain to me. He would turn away when the toddler teachers would approach him. He is now in a daycare that he loves, does not cry when I drop him off, is sleeping through the night again and goes willingly to his new teachers. I tried to talk to the director but she did nothing to better the situation. I hate that daycare for what they did to my children.

My daughter is almost 16 months old, and she loves her classroom. She gets so excited to get to class that she insists on walking there on her own. As soon as I put her down she walks straight to her classroom as fast as her little legs can carry her. Im so glad that this school is helping her to become confident and independent.

Excellent preschool atmosphere. My son started going there when he was 3 and within just a couple of months his vocabulary increased dramatically. Now he is 5 and is in pre-k. Celia Luna is an excellent teacher and they are now starting to read.

My son is four and will be starting Kindergarden this year. My mother has kept him for us since he was born and with school starting sooner than later, it was time to take action!! We were greeted so very kindly, which made us feel comfortable immediately, and had an excellent experience with our tour. They were very thorough with daily activities and any questions we had. We are so very excited to start this next chapter in our lives and couldnt be happier with our decision to choose Child Care Network!!!

Do Not Go Here!My child is an infant and was in their infant room for 3 months. In the beginning we had issues with the teathera feeding him regularly. My son still eats every 2 hours. I I understand they cant feed him every 2 hours in the dot but they would go 6 hours! Their excuse was he just sleeps all day. Yeah and infant crying for food will fall asleep from exhaustion and will want to eat when he wakes up, but if you leave him crying again he will fall back asleep. After a week they finally were feeding him more regularly. But then he was starting to sit in the bumbo at home so they let him while at care and this is when I came to find out in the afternoons they keep all the infants and toddlers in the infant room! So my child that is not able to crawl or walk was left on the floor unattended, no one paying attention because its one teacher and all those kids! Definitely over the 1 to 5 rule. So the toddlers were walking over my child and twice in a one month period my child was bit by a toddler! The second time it broke skin. They also cleaned their floors and put my child on the wet chemical causing a chemical burn. When I complained about it, they tried to say he must have had a scratch or his rash came from something I did at home! I did not drop him off with a rash that day and he had teeth Marks on his leg where the toddler bit him! Very upset they let this happen and still said they would charge me for 2 weeks for pulling my son out because it is not safe for him! You better believe I called the state! They wont be holding that 5 start rating much longer, if they can even stay open!I also have heard many racist comments said to the children, including get your taco smelling but out of my room said to a latino toddler and the toddlers were yelled at to Quit making a mess, I just picked up them toys.

Absolutely love the director: Patty! The preK staff is loving and are great at getting them ready for kindergarten! Ms.Luna and Ms.Sarah are amazing teachers and a joy to partner with! The pre K teachers get to know and love each child.I am not particularly happy with The experience since my child has moved into the school aged room having had several issues Since then. Just like in Christina camarillos review, my five year old comes home telling me things that just do not seem right and each time I address it there was some sort of misstep on the teachers part or misunderstanding and miscommunication but not between me and my child...between the teachers. Just to give an example: there is a rule about children not having Chapstick because of the risk of them sharing it. My 5 yr old knows better than to share her Chapstick and she needs it because she’s coming home with skin peeling off her lips and her lips are cracking and bleeding because it is wintertime and she (like her dad) needs Chapstick regularly to keep her lips hydrated. Instead of the teacher addressing it with me, she has taken 2 of my daughters Chapstick‘s (and not for her sharing them but only for her walking to her book bag and applying it to her lips and putting it back) and instead of giving them back to her or me at the end of the day, she just kept them and does this to all the other children too. It may seem petty but I do not agree with the rule in the first place and to me, keeping my stuff and not even informing me that you took it is theft. The teacher sees me on a daily basis and it does not take much time to communicate and let me know that she took something of my daughters and to give it back to me and discuss the rule so that way I can address it and try to come up with some type of solution that does not leave my daughter with bleeding chapped lips. The director is amazing and she came up with a solution that is completely agreeable. The issue is that it took way too long to do this because you have a teacher that is just snatching children’s Chapstick’s and acting like a police officer in the class telling them they are not allowed to use their Chapstick or play with their hair and other silly things. Not to mention I do not appreciate the loud and rude manner that the children are spoken to in this class. I agree with the other ladys review on this.Another example is that the very same teacher told me that my child was in danger of being expelled next time she unbuckled on the bus. when I addressed it with her she said that it had already been an issue with another teacher previously. Of course at this point I want to know why I am being threatened with my daughters expulsion when there was no communication with me the first time that my daughter apparently did this. I then confronted the other teacher that this Supposedly happened with and she said that that never happened. At this point once again I had to speak to the director to get it sorted out because no teacher really should ever be threatening a parent with their child expulsion. It should be a conversation between the director and the parent if it gets to that degree. Come to find out that my daughter did not unbuckled her seatbelt while the bus was moving. She unbuckled it once they were parked and in the parking lot of the childcare center and she simply did this before her name was called. This is clearly a ridiculous reason to threaten a parent with expulsion so I had several issues with the way that situation was handled. It caused me and my child undue stress.I am hesitant to switch daycares because of the convenient location and because they have such a great director who does try to solve any issue that presents. Kudos to Mrs.Patty for all of her hard work and for improving this center tremendously.I would recommend this childcare center to anyone with children age 1-5 but would likely recommend another for children who have started in school.

My 8 year old son has been with Childcare Network on Old Thomasville Rd. since he was 3 years. We have been very pleased with the staff, the enviroment, and learning he has received since he started. If we have any concerns, the office staff is always ready to listen and willing to go above and beyond to take care of any situation that my arise. I would highly recommend Childcare Network on Old Thomasville Rd. :)

My little boy has been with CCN over a year now, and he loves it! the teachers and staff are very friendly and work hard to provide quality education and childcare.the only complaint i have about this place is the parking lot could use some TLC. the potholes make it hard to get in and out safely.

As a first time mom, I am impressed with how happy I am concerning the level of care my son (now 8 months old) receives at Childcare Network. As every mom experiences, leaving my baby alone with someone new for the first time was arduous. I spent weeks before my first day back to work and many weeks after wondering if I made the right choice for our family, and I genuinely believe that I have.From a moms point of view, I appreciate that they received 5 stars from the state, they offer a miltary discount, they have an open door policy (one that actually makes you feel welcome), that someone ALWAYS answers the phone when you call to check in, and bringing your own food (including breastmillk) is welcome BUT the center also has formula and food on hand at no additional charge available for each child (please call for exact details).From my sons point of view, he reached for Ms. Crystal directly from my arms after only 1 week of part time care, and the ONLY person he eats for when he gets sick is Ms. Amber. He still has yet to cry when I leave in the morning, and sometimes hes too busy playing to come to me when I pick him up in the evening.Initially I was concerned about co-parenting my child with strangers who work in a daycare, but Ive come to view Mr. Crystal and Ms. Amber as friends and partners. I value their opinions and the amount of love and attention they offer each baby in their room. These women KNOW my baby-- they know when hes getting sick, when he has a tooth coming in, and when hes just having a bad day. They know how he likes to sleep, how to make a boo-boo all better, and how to make him laugh. When it really comes down to it, theyve taught me how to be a better parent to my son, and if I had the chance to do it all over again, I would make the same decision to bring him to this center.Ill leave it up to other reviewers to talk about the other teachers and services for older children, but if youre looking for a bright, clean, stimulating, loving environment for your infant, along with intelligent and capable women to take care of them, then I highly recommend Childcare Network.

Let me just start off by saying I used to love this daycare we had been there since my oldest was a baby so a good 8+years. After the directors we had when we first started left it kinda went downhill from there. They lost some pretty great teachers as well. Which made it better but once they left there was nothing left but inconsistency.If your child has any special need this is not the place for you they don’t have the staff that knows how to deal with them. What came from the director at the time and Co director was they “were not equipped” your child will never have a consistent teacher in their room. Which if you have a child with scensory issues know consistency is key with them.My son has scensory, adhd and behavioral issues and we had no problems until this year all the teachers who knew how to deal with him left and the others weren’t trained to deal with a child with his needs and wouldn’t find someone who was able or couldn’t whichever it was they always had a different teacher in his room and were always out of ratio the only time they were in ratio is when they had an inspection and they brought in teachers then after inspection they were gone.My 2 year old never had the same teacher one day I walked in and another little boy was throwing shoes at her head!!! The teacher was right there and didn’t even turn to check on her! Even though she was screaming. More issues with that room but this was the worst one for me.My son ended up being suspended For a child grabbing onto his blanket and him running around the room anytime I wanted to see a video of what happened with my son it was never available in a full video only the reaction of whatever happened and him Misbehaving part but never what actions led up to that point 🤷🏻‍♀️ They also had a child in there and their mom was the teacher some days and my child told me he could do this but he couldn’t and didn’t understand which isn’t fair. Most daycares if your their mom you don’t go teach in the same room 🤷🏻‍♀️The only consistent teacher I witnessed was the school age children’s teacher. I didn’t have many issues with my school aged child they would always let me know if there was an issue with school or if she wasn’t well so not really much wrong there so if you have a school aged child you should be good.Overall Leaving was the best decision I ever made for my child. We are at a new center and all of a sudden all those “behavior” issues have subsided. He wasn’t sleeping at night while at this center but now falls asleep fine and stays asleep! So far my 2 year old isn’t getting bitten or hit on so far a very positive change :)
