Willowcreek Academy

We started here when they opened the Gainesville location because we were looking to leave our other daycare/​preschool. There have been some growing pains as they hired staff to meet the needs of a growing school and the administration changed in the last two years, but I feel that they have most of the kinks worked out now (June 2015). The infant teachers are amazing, wonderful women, the infant/​toddler room has an awesome lead teacher, and the pre-​K teacher is fantastic — all of these have been there since the Gainesville location opened. The preschool II and III rooms were a little trickier, and I cannot speak for pre-​II, but the new (Apr 2015) pre-​III teacher is awesome, she took over the classroom, made significant changes, and has been using her Montessori background.

Our son has been going here for over a year now. Some teachers have come and gone (which isn’t different than other places) but the ones who have stayed are fantastic. We love our Pre-​K teachers. It’s sad to see the bad reviews and hopefully these teachers they spoke of are gone. Our son loves it there and is eager to see his friends and start his day there.
Trust me our son is outspoken and if he wasn’t happy we would know! Take a visit and watch the cameras and see for yourself why we love it there.

My child has been at WillowCreek Academy since the beginning of 2014. We have had no issues or complaints. Our child really enjoys being there and is learning! Willowcreek Academy has been accommodating and attentive to our child’s medical condition. We communicate daily with the management and teachers and we trust WillowCreek Academy!

I heard about some negative reviews and I too had to comment. My child has been attending Willowcreek for over a year now. I have had nothing but a great experience there. I feel like the teachers genuinely love and care for my daughter. I’ve seen such a difference with her interaction with other kids (we had a nanny before) and her academic skills. The daycare is the cleanest I’ve seen (and I visited them all in the area) which is another huge plus in my book. I’ve read some of the reviews about Willowcreek and I don’t think it’s a fair representation. A lot of the parents that I speak to have been sending their children there for awhile and are very happy at Willowcreek. My suggestion is that if you are looking at schools in the area, check it out in person so you can see for yourself and even talk to the parents there.

I do not recommend this place. If you do take your kids here I highly recommend utilizing the camera they have available to observe your child’s classroom. I pulled my child out after I witnessed him being mocked, ignored and yelled at by his teacher. Management tolerates mistreatment of these kids and it is SAD.

If I could give the establishment zero stars I would. Mothers please think of your precious babies first and DO NOT trust this place with your most prize possession.
Some of the women that work their would lay down their lives to protect your child while others will scream in their sweet innocent two year old face «Don’t touch me»
” Get away from me” right in front of the owner and director. Please do not be fooled by their fake persona that they care, they care about your money. Everyone has a bad day but my god who could treat a toddler like that. Their are complaints on this establishment already although the owner would love people to believe different. She is underhanded and sneaky. I will only say that my next responsibility is reporting her to the labor dept. You cant change a situation after the fact so please take this seriously and DO NOT place your child here. If you know someone whos child is currently attending, urge them to remove their child and seek proper care elsewhere.
