Country Kids Preschool and Childcare

"Our little one, who is almost 4 years old now, has been at Country Kids since he was about 8 weeks old and we have continued to have great care since day 1! Health, safety and transparency is a top priority to them and we know that he is well taken care of during the day. They use an app that definitely puts a first time parent at ease knowing how their child is doing throughout the day, what they ate, when they napped, etc and it is great knowing their daily routine while we are away at work. He feels loved and has developed good bonds with both teachers and classmates in his age group. We are due with our second little one soon, and there is no question as to what daycare we will be using. Thank you Country Kids for providing excellent care for our family and giving us peace of mind knowing that our little one is safe and in a fun learning environment."

"I appreciate the love and attention my Grandson receives at this facility. The staff is amazing. We have had 3 great years so far and I am excited for my granddaughter to attend after she is born. Their team at Country Kids are truly a blessing."

"Very little, outside of Ms. Jackie is positive about this daycare. I would not recommend Country Kids to anyone after the issues I’ve had, and brought to their attention. For example, my daughter, at two years old was traipsed around naked for everyone to see because the staff didn’t want to take her to the bathroom to be changed. Instead, why not have her out if full view of other children, parents, and staff. Another issue whereas my daughter was around 3, and utilizing the bathroom. She was told to leave the door wide open so, again, staff didn’t have to keep an eye on her, while I watched a couple boys staring at her as she was using the bathroom. Time and time again, they would lose her clothes, most of which, they have lost or refused to return. However, they will charge you if she doesn’t not have clothes in her locker. Numerous times she would come home with scratches and bruises, or bite marks due to the lack of proper staff supervision. The staff had been informed that my daughter was not to take a nap during the day. However, they refused to listen, and would take away my daughter blanket if she refused a nap. Seriously…in a cold building you take away a blanket? The only time my daughter would get in trouble would be when she told them she wasn’t supposed to take a nap, which they explained was a state mandate. However, while the bosses child was there, she was kept awake by the staff under the direction of the facility director. Another thing they refuse to tell you…you will be expected to pay for their services even when they CHOOSE to shut down. For a week this past July, they shut down for a week so staff could have time off. When questioned, they explained that it was a “state mandate,” however upon investigation that was not the case. They simply wanted to grant their staff a paid week off. Paid for by those who had to take off work for a week, thus losing money ourselves. During the winter, if you drop your child off there, you risk being told that you must leave work and return to pick up your child. This is so their staff can go back home after getting to the daycare. For myself, who is a teacher, that’s not possible. I had to use a sick day, and just kept my daughter home, as I can’t just leave work because the daycare is not willing to actually do what they’re paid to do…and yes, they still expect you to pay when they close down AFTER you drop off your kids. Mt daughter’s mother applied for the Pre-K assistance, which requires forms to be uploaded to the FSSA website. One of the forms required must be filled out by the daycare, and uploaded. However, the daycare has continued to refuse to fill out the form and provide it to her so that the application can be completed. On that note, we pay $160/week, while those getting the assistance are paying a monthly amount on top of $180/week. So, the daycare is taking even more money from the state then asking parents for a reduced amount. Straight up theft of services, and 100% uncalled for. Very bad business practices in my opinion. I would not recommend this daycare to anyone."

"My daughter has gone here for almost a year now, and it has been a great experience. Everyone I have met has been very polite and friendly toward me, and they are even more excited to interact with my daughter. They are very responsive on the Brightwheel app whenever I communicate with them. My daughter has never been upset or protested going there, and she is happy when I come to pick her up. She has made some significant strides in her learning since she has been coming here, and I can tell that they do work to teach the children in the toddler room. If I ever have someone pick her up who is not me, after I tell them who it will be through the app, they still always require an ID from the person to verify, which I appreciate from a safety standpoint. I'm very happy with this daycare, and I plan on keeping my daughter here until she begins going to Kindergarten."
