Clearly, the staff are not competent to work with children. Based upon earlier reviews, as well as, word of mouth from at least 2 others in the community- the staff is disgustingly underqualified due to their massive inability to reserve patience with CHILDREN and maintain composure while handling childrens emotions and needs. Additionally, and most importantly the multiple reports of becoming PHYSICAL with the children, including infants as mentioned in a previous review.This facilitys days are clearly numbered as the reports continue to roll in without change, acknowledgment, or reprimand within the staff and the facilitys ethics/values.

Very unprofessional and unorganized.Expected more from this location when it came to getting information for my child to attend. Given the run around and to this day I’m still waiting for phone call and information

My child attended this day care for almost a year. At first things were going great they had great teachers. They began brining in new teachers and would value them over the teachers had been there longer and were truly great. After a few months from being there things began to worsen when the teachers I trusted were not there. I was glad I had access to the camera at all times to look after my child. I witnessed one of the new teachers be extremely rough with my child who was then about 7 months old. She tried to force feed my child with a bottle even though she showed she was not interested. I was horrified by what I witnessed and spoke to the teacher directly and expressed my concerns. This teacher forced my child and every child there to take a nap and let them cry for a long period of time. I picked up my child one day and she had a big mark in her chin that did not look like a scratch from another baby. I asked the same teacher what had happened and she just stuttered and couldn’t explain to me what had happened. There was no incident report so I took it upon my self to tell management. They did nothing to her but make an incident report themselves stating that they are not sure what had happened. I then explained to them that I had had issues with this teacher before and told them what she had done. The director simply told me that she could not do nothing about because I had not told her when it happened. Another month went by and as I was watching my child I witnessed this same teacher force feed a an 11 month old that was no longer wanting to eat. She grabbed his food from his plate and shoved her index finger down his throat with food. I was an absolute shock and called the school and told them to remove my child from that room and explained to her what happened. Nothing was done to this teacher and later found out that she was friends with the director. Other mothers shared their concerns and many have left this daycare recently including myself. They don’t have many teachers that last and there is an inconstancy with who watches after your child. I would not take a child to this facility if they can not speak and tell you what is going on. I feared for my child’s safety on the daily basis. I could not keep myself from watching the cameras. They were neglectful to my child and to other children there.The director and assistant did nothing to make me feel at ease. The assistant was extremely rude towards me after I went to pick up the reminder of my child’s items. The director and assistant are very unprofessional.

My children have attended this school for the past 5 months and I couldnt be more happier with my decision. When you walk in, there is an instant home feeling. All the teachers are very personable and although my children are of Infant age and school age, I know everyone because just walking through the halls I am constantly being greeted and spoken too.My children always have art and proof of learning and I love it. The Director and management team are wonderful! They communicate little things as well as big changes and that goes a long way. Love CCY Valley Ranch.

My son always has an amazing time here I have no complaints on the care nor how theyre treated. My only problem would be the pricing. Not really fair to charge you $22 because your kid was dismissed from school 2.5hrs early to then charge $22 because the next day school was closed. That math doesnt make sense to me. Other than that I have no problem with childrens courtyard of valley ranch.

My child has been attending The Children’s Courtyard at Valley Ranch for almost two years. I was very pessimistic at first due to the poor experiences we had at the previous day care. However, I can say that switching my child to this facility has been the best decision we’ve made. Of course, like any other child care, there have been some accidents. However, the director Marsha does an excellent job at resolving any issues that may arise. The teachers that our son has had this far (Chastity & Amanda) have been so patient, caring and kind.I recently switched jobs and I make a 30-minute drive daily but, it’s worth knowing my child is in caring hands. We can tell he loves going, has fun and is so advanced in learning.

Childrens Courtyard has been excellent with our child. She started there when she was 3 months she is now 31 months. Childrens Courtyard of Valley Ranch is a center that cares. The director and assistant director are a great team that listens to the parents. There has been changes since we have been there. The one constant is my child is safe, secure and learning more every single day. As a parent that is all you can ask for

This Daycare/Preschool doesn’t give respect to their good Teachers.Some Teachers are really good , doing their job best way.But Management doesn’t support them when there need end they throw them.I took my daughter admission almost 8 months ago, she doesn’t get adjusted easily if Teacher is not good. But luckily her Teacher we found out really good within a week my daughter started liking her.Everything was going great, even each Parent appreciates Teacher effort.My daughter everyday learned something new and come home will tried to utter new new words.I was happy.Suddenly without proper notice ,Management replaced that Teacher with a new one. Who doesn’t have any experience.From there it’s a roller coaster ride for each kid.We tried to bring this to Management, still their attitude same. Old Teacher they want to throw out without any reason.I will move my Daughter to other place ASAP bcoz in this scenario, I am noticing kids behavior changing like anything.This is one of the incident, I have seen many Teacher who did good they thrower them out within this 8 months from other classes.

My daughter has attended since she was three months, shes now almost two. I have always found this program to be very attentive if there are parent issues and concerns. (I was a stickler about keeping my child away from bigger kids when she was an infant and they obliged.) It was a little rocky at first because we went through WAY TOO many teachers and Directors which made me very unfortunately (and I shared this with the program and corporate). However, because each teacher always showed genuine love for our child we kept her there, and I am glad we did. She LOVES going. She cries when it is time to leave because she loves it so much, and I feel like we have a great repoire with the staff. They understand what we expect, and we partner together for the best interest of my child. I am a very opinionated mom with very high expectations and demands, and I would indeed recommend this program. The infant 3 teachers are by far the best on the planet!

My daughter, who is 2 year old now has been going to this place since Sep 2015. We love this place. Teachers and front staff are always friendly and responsive to any needs. Her teachers Robina and now Nechia always are friendly and took care of my daughter. Being working parents, We feel really comfortable and confident about our daughters care. Sometimes, they take pictures of kids activities and they put them in the classroom. Everyday, they send us information about my daughter - food they served, her mood, what she liked in that day, etc. I love this info as it gives us good idea about her day.They also provide a facility to watch the kids online for registered parents, which is nice so that I can see my daughter whenever I want. I would recommend this place.

Let me start of by saying at first I was really nervous about sending my son here, because he came from a daycare that I grew up in to a daycare I knew no one at ..... the front staff is amazing and very welcoming when I walk in everyday they have a smile on there face ready to greet me :) but most of all I absolutely love my sons teacher Ms.shunna, Edward has been in her class for about 2 months now and he is doing amazing with his vocabulary and can articulate his words very well thanks to her . Keep in mind my son is only a year and a half . Ms.Shunna is a wonderful teacher not only to my son but to the other children as well she always has the class engaged and you can tell she cares for the children like they are her own :) thank you so much for everything you do Ms.Shunna Edward and I really appreciate everything

I was just contacted by this daycare because I was on a waiting list. Maria was very rude and hung up on me when I started inquiring about the prices. I called back and asked why she hung up on me. She said she thought I wasnt serious about enrolling my child.When I asked her what the weekly cost of having my 2 year old child there, she gave me an astronomical number of $755 per week. I laughed and hung up on her.This place clearly doesnt want my business. Stay away from these people. Far away.

Pre-kinder Curriculum for my 4 year old was amazing, my daughter is very free spirited and was allowed the freedom to express her creative and fun loving personality without consequence. We have loved having her in the program.

This place was fantastic until our child turned 3 and was moved into a new class. Really expensive for what you get. Some teachers are rude or oblivious. Our child is constantly being bitten by other children and they never know who did it. It seems like this school is full of a bunch of children that arent being taught properly by their parents.
