The teacher blackened my daughters eye. She has a scar under her eye from an incident at daycare. I can go into details but I wont because Im trying my best to move past this incident. If your child isnt middle eastern Id watch them here.

Golden Minds Academy is a great place especially with pre-k children. Enrolling my daughter here is one of the best decisions I made. Wonderful environment with very warming and friendly teachers.

As a mother of 2 boys, a Nursing student with a full time job, there’s nothing more you want then to know your children are in good hands! Golden Minds Academy has made a different in my life since my children has been there. My 2yr is leaning in the right direction. He’s singing ABC’s,Counting and even teaching me new Nursery rhymes. Mrs.Ruby; the owner taught the children about Jesus and the reason for the season. My 10 yr old spoke about it in Sunday school. I can depend on them to get him to & from school without a worry. It’s feels so homey when you walk into the daycare and see the owners interacting with the children. Consistency engaging in activities for the kids, fundays, etc. Reminding us parents their thankful for us too. This was my 2yr old 1st yr in daycare and I was so nervous for him, each staff member has made my transition worth while. The Owners ( Mrs Ruby & Mr Obi) down to the staff members has been so helpful in every way! Education is key and I know my baby is off to a great start! Thank you Golden Minds

My 3 kids attend this center and love it there. The staff are amazing and truly care about the kids. They always have smiles on their faces and I have no complaints in my 2 + years being a customer. I would recommend them to anyone looking for great child care in Dallas.

As a single, working mother, its hard finding a daycare that you can trust to take care of your children. Golden minds Academy keeps my mind at ease. Ive been taking my kids here for almost 3yrs now. The teachers are excellent, very friendly and professional! The facility is always clean! And they were very helpful with helping me potty train my 3yr old son! I would definitely recommend this daycare to anyone looking for an affordable, trustworthy place to leave their kids! I cant say enough positive things about Ruby and her staff!

My wife and I love Golden Minds Academy. My kids have attended this day care for 2 years and they absolutely love Mrs Ruby and her staff. They are friendly, professional and always spot on with the kids. I completely trust those ladies with my kids. My son is going to Kindergarten and under Mrs Ruby, he is already reading at a 2nd grade level thanks to the staff at Golden Minds. Mrs Lisa and Karen are awesome. The kids love their teachers and they always have something to do and learn. Recently they went on a field trip to the Dallas Aquarium and the kids absolutely loved the outing. They even teach Spanish and French guys!! Most Day cares in the area simply baby sit your kids and charge you an arm and a leg to have your kids watch TV all day. Not Golden Minds. They actually do educational stuff with the kids, and my kids have learnt so much. I would recommend them to anyone wanting daycare in Dallas.

My son loves this daycare, the staff is very caring, friendly and genuine. It’s always clean. They played a big part in helping my son become potty trained. If your looking for a daycare that is big on learning this is the one! I know my son is in good hands there.

This is a GREAT place to send you childern! When my daughter first started off back in the summer she was a quiet person .She was also not speaking !Since she has been attending there she has picked up more then I could imagine! I have never seen my child so happy when she walks in the door !shes in love with her teachers and the staff ! THEY are always there to lend a helping hand. Also my child is learning Spanish and for her to learn that at this age and to retain a second language it is amazing! she comes home every single day and tell me what she has learned. Shout out to all of you amazing ladies that work here it does take a village to raise a child and Im so glad that I trusted you all with helping my child develop!!

Amen I would like to both strongly apologize ,& clarify this misunderstanding that occurred today . I along with a few of my grandchidren frequently volunteers here and today my grandson whom normally wouldnt have opened the door felt this person was safe mind you the CAMERAS are always monitoring the whole facility. As this person was seen instantly by a facilitator. There wasnt an safely issue.. I find it very interesting to see how taking this out of Portion to cause harm. Be careful. However I understand that we all have our very own personal perception. That being said God Bless Us All. I love coming to this amazing place where children all children are ,safe,secure, respectful, respected, and learning arts,crafts, & how to get along with others.

I am so mad that Google will only allow me to rate this business with only 5 stars. Mrs. Ruby and her staff are simply AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I found this center when I was in a bind. I dropped my 3 year old son off and it has been one of the best decisions I have made in childcare. My daughter also goes for after school care. My children are cared for. My sone learns more and more everyday. The teachers have an open rapport with me. I know where both of my children are developmentally, and educationally.If you are looking for a place were your child will be loved, valued and taught, this is definitely the place to go.

This place doesn’t even deserve one star. I went in for a tour on today and there were not one, not two, but three, cop cars sitting in the lot. I guess that they were just waiting for something to happen. I saw this & I just HAD to see how things were being done. The door was locked, which was good. When the door opened, I was greeted by moist, warm air. I knew immediately that this wasn’t going to workout. The guide was nice, but a lot of things were wrong about the tour. The tour guide took us into rooms during nap time when children were sleeping. She then went on to tell me that all children are following the same curriculum, no matter the age group. That isn’t right! When I glanced into one of the toddler rooms, there was a teenaged boy holding one of the children. I would not be happy with that since I would be paying for an adult! My 11 month old doesn’t need to learn colors. She went on to say that there is a 4:1 ratio, but that wasn’t observed because the cook was sitting in on the baby room while the caretakers had breaks! I skimmed at 8:1 ratio. There is no thought put into the decor or presentation of the place and it is a bad neighborhood. I would be stressed with my baby being here & wouldn’t be able to work. I am a mom that cares about her child’s wellbeing and comfort while away and if you are that type of mom, this is not the place.Update: The owner had a back and forth exchange with me on Facebook after this review. Instead of using the review as a way to better her business, she took it personal. As you can see, here are the three cop cars. If you grew up in the hood as I did, you can tell that they are on patrol from the way that they are parked and waiting for something to go down. As I said previously & stand by it, this place is not worth $700/month for its condition and location. I have managed to find a superior daycare for $680 that makes me feel great if I was to leave my child here. I’m still waiting on that video footage to be posted on Facebook of that 4:1 ratio when I came for my walk through. My eyes aren’t THAT bad!

My wife just walked out on a TOUR because she witnessed a teacher yank a child by his collar and make him cry. The same classroom my son would have been in. Thank god for noticing that before enrollment and I HIGHLY suggest checking your children. She stopped the tour on the spot and walked out with my 3 year old. DISGUSTING

I love this school! This is my sons 2nd year here and he loves the teachers, and all of his friends! This past school year he was in the DISD Pre-K Partnership program and not a day went by when he was itching to tell me something new he learned. I love the open door policy that Ms. Ruby and her staff have and I never have to worry about him coming home with unexplained lumps and bumps. My son is now there for summer camp and will continue into the after school program. Whatever your needs are, definitely send your children here for safe care and an awesome education while youre out making your coins!

I am a current employer at Golden Minds Academy. The owner Mrs.Ruby along with her Director Mrs. Karen and Assistant Director have been nothing but warm and compassionate to myself as well as the other ladies. We provide the best for children from our infant room to our after schoolers. No one can pass judgement from one brief tour. Yes there are police officer patroling the area but just like our job is to make sure our kids are safe, its theyre job to keep our neighborhood safe. Please refrain from the negative comments because we are working hard each and everyday educating our children.

If I could give a zero I would. They don’t change the babies, I came & got my son at 4pm (after dropping him off at 8:30am) and he had not been changed ONE time , he had soaked through his shorts & all I got in response were excuses. This was the SECOND time they hadn’t changed him all day, he had a horrible diaper rash & I pulled him from the daycare. Don’t take your babies here!Edit: my son was barely 1 he was not being potty trained . Instead of fixing the problem they try to justify it . Just sad
