Cranfield Academy - Cary

"The plan was to originally have grandparents take care of our son, because we thought, "family would take care of family better than strangers." Life happened, plans changed, and we had to start looking for a daycare. We found Kids r Kids, now cranfield academy. I am so thankful that we found it and were able to have our son attend. Not only is he thriving socially (the aspect of teacher/student relationship and peer relationship), but also learning interests (arts and crafts, soccer shots, etc.) Our son wouldn't have had the same type of growth had we gone with our original plan. Lastly, all the teachers our son has had, are amazing! Always caring and patient. He loves Ms Vee and her cooking. And Ms Ashley, Ms Tonya, and Ms Anna always greet us at the door and our son enjoys engaging with them. Folks at Cranfield Academy treat Sammy like family."

"Cranfield has been a great experience for my family so far. My son started in the middle of August, he has adjusted really well and has a great time. The staff is very caring and sweet, they always greet us when we come in, even staff and teachers who are not in my sons room are enthusiastic with greetings. Ashley Smith, Donna, Emani & Anna Hussey have all been amazing when it comes to caring for my son, talking through any concerns, asking for more clarification & just general interactions and conversations. They are all extremely kind, pleasant and engaging whenever I come into the facility, it is always a pleasure to interact with them. Ashley was one of the main reasons as to why we choose this facility as well as the cameras, their curriculum/activities that inspire play/fun/creativity but also structure and education and cleanliness/up keep of the facility, many other facilities lacked this. As someone who is very particular in regards to childcare and trusting people with my children, I highly recommend Cranfield to any family looking for childcare."

"Cranfield Academy has been a wonderful experience for me so far. We have been here one year. Big shoutout to Ashley Smith! She has always been there to help me sort through any financial concerns I may have had. Staffing may be low, but the teachers that remain there are definitely well-educated, patient, and kind. This daycare is always clean and since I switched to here I have seen a decrease in the amount of illnesses my children have had overall."

"This place has been my Saving Grace! They have given me & my baby ultimate care & comfort! The facility is clean, the cameras are a huge plus, but most of all the staff is AMAZING! Our teachers are phenomenal & keep me up to date with every aspect of my child’s learning & growth! We have been here for 3 years & it has been a GREAT experience! We’re off to Kindergarten, but we will truly miss Cranfield! :)"

"I DO NOT recommend this daycare! Our 2-year-old son was initially enrolled at Kids-R-Kids and we loved it. However, after the school was sold to the Endeavor group and became Cranfield Academy the quality of care greatly declined, unfortunately. The school lacks leadership and this reflects on their daily activities: communication is poor and issues are not properly addressed. Staff turnover is extremely high which leads to inconsistent care. The remaining teachers truly try their best to make things work but are poorly managed, overworked, and unmotivated. We’re very grateful for the teachers who were kind and cared for our son while we were at the school and do wish them all the best."
