Columbia Academy: Kings Contrivance Preschool

"My name is Darius and I honestly this daycare center is poorly managed, unprofessional and the staff is rude. I applied to work with them and the recruiter was rude unprofessional and stool my information off of my application. Here name was Beth Evans.She mistreated me because I am a male teacher. This place is definitely not a place you should send your child. I was going to send all three of my kids but due to the fact that I was discriminated on because of my gender and the color of my skin I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone"

"We found this center to be very difficult to work with administratively and felt like they were more focused on profit than anything else. We decided not to stay when we learned of the incident last year where a toddler left unnoticed, and walked out into a crowded street ( I’m told they have new doors but still don’t feel comfortable). I’m sure there are kind and caring teachers but the company itself didn’t make us feel confident."

"My son started here in June and I have been so happy with their infant program! When I drop him off everyday he always is so happy to see his teachers!"

"I regret sending my son to this center deeply! He got 7 incident reports in 3.5 months including biting, bad scratches, bleeding mouth.... There is still permanent scars on his cheek from other kid's scratches! For the last month he was at that center, he got bites from other kids on every week basis and I am talking about bad biting. We had very serious talks to the director and teacher and they both assured us the harsh incidents won't happen again. But the reality is the biting was repeated again and again, never stopped. It broke my heart to see my little boy come home with all these marks. We eventually had to withdraw him from this center to avoid endless injury! Very bad experience! I definitely wouldn't recommend this daycare to any parents, period."

"From infant to preschool, this school does a great job of caring for and loving your child. After 3 years, we have to move away and I think this is what I am most sad about, leaving this school."
