Windmill Creek Academy

"Stay far away from this school. My experience with the infant room was amazing but once he was a confident walker he was in a room where the kids were forced to sit and watch TV (against DCF regulations) and were strapped to highchairs and left unattended in the bathroom for punishment. The owner and director are aware of this and don't care. DCF has caught them and owner denied it. I waited to share this review until my son was 5 so we wouldn't have to worry about backlash from this review. PLEASE STAY AWAY!"

"My daughter recently graduated VPK at Windmill. The ceremony was such a memorable experience for us. The kids had so much fun singing, telling us on the Mic where they are going to Kinder & showing us all the wonderful things they learned that year. The confidence each child possessed at 4-5 years old showed us how well prepared the curriculum was for PRE-K. We left with a full binder of all the arts & crafts, learning material from the year. The creative nature of learning, singing weekly with Ms Jeanine ( owner) & the outdoor shaded space each age group had was was sold me on the school. Olivia loved her teachers ( misses them & her friends) & was excited to go each day. They offer a school lunch program & use an app to communicate during the day with the teachers & see photos of daily activities. If you are touring child care or VPK spots I highly recommend including Windmill to your list."

"Windmill Creek Academy has been the perfect fit for my family. The teachers are all so wonderful! I can tell they care deeply for my children. They know my kids personalities and some of the staff have been there since my neice went there 15 years ago! My kids have so much fun and learn so much here. The art projects they create are priceless. They have multiple playgrounds for each skill group, tons of learning toys and music class twice a week. They are open 7a-6p and they offer a lunch program! My oldest is in VPK and they have an app for easy communication between the teachers and it allows us to see what the kids do throughout each day."

"Our children attended this school for 6 weeks. The experience we had with our oldest and youngest son were vastly different. While my 4 year old loved his teacher, our youngest son became very sad to go to school every day. We often picked him up from school with a dirty diaper. He regressed in his potty training. The director of the school called us to discuss her concerns with my youngest son’s speech but only gave us a week to set something up before she ended up kicking my 2 year old out of her school. We just moved from the other side of the state and the director had no empathy for us trying to get settled in or the life change that our family, and more importantly our children, just experienced. The director has very poor communication skills. If your child has any specific needs, don’t expect this daycare to care about your child or be patient with you. They even tried to charge me twice for tuition for our second month. I suggest finding a daycare that is ran by someone who actually cares."

"All of my grandchildren have attended Windmill Creek Academy and I cannot say enough good things about this school. Their teachers have all been exceptional and they make learning so much fun and interesting for them. It is always kept very clean and I feel it is a great learning environment for them. I highly recommend this school."
