Stonebridge Academy

My daughter attended this school for a year and towards the winter on till march of this year the teachers kept changing. I feel like there should be consistent teachers in the room. Everyday there would be someone new and I didn’t like that. Plus my child always would come home saying Monster so I’m not sure if a teacher was trying to scare them with saying the monster will get you. Also walked in one day and my child got in trouble for getting out of her chair to take her paper to the teacher. When I walked in the teacher said she was sitting out b/​c she kept stealing her friends crayons. I’m going to call Bs on that one. If you can afford a couple dollars more I would definitely choose a different school for the sake of your child and having consistent teachers. I liked miss Becky the old director and I love a few of the teachers but when it comes to my child having good quality care I like to place she is in now. She actually walks in and wants to be there and mind you she is 2. So I give is one star for the sake of no consistent teachers, cleanliness, the director, and the way they treat your child.

What can I say? This place is okay. It smells like a day care. You can say it needs DEEP cleaning. But I mean who can’t say that about anywhere? Some of the employees are very sweet very helpful. However some are very UNPROFESSIONAL and act like childern! The food they feed is horrible I wouldn’t even eat it! I hate that the bad apples over power the good apples. Honestly if you’d ask me to refer you… it’d have to say no…

We’ve had a great experience with Stonebridge Academy. My 4 year old has been going to Stonebridge since he was 2 (before that he was in home daycares) and my 15 month old has been at Stonebridge since he was 4 months old. The director Ms Becky and assistant director Ms Kimberly are both so dedicated to making this school great. They’re open to feedback, work with parents to set kids up for success, and are committed to students’ safety and wellbeing.
No childcare arrangement is without its ups and downs, but the leadership in the school makes it so much easier to navigate the ebb and flow. My children’s teachers are warm and caring, and my kids are thriving under their tutelage.
All in all, it’s been an excellent arrangement.

I live right across from this facility & happen to get a front row seat to the things that happen at this establishment. After first moving in 3+ years ago, I witnessed an employee snatch a small child up by her bicep, dangling off the ground because she along with 3 other children lagged behind when going inside after playtime. I called their office to speak with a supervisor about what I had witnessed.
What I did accomplish was that playtime was held on the other side of the building away from public viewing for 2 weeks.
Once playtime resumed like normal, I still witnessed the employees up in those children’s faces screaming at them. I live 50 yards or 150 ft from the side of that building. I can hear those people screaming at those children at the top of their lungs when they are right in front of them. I’ve called several times to complain but all this does it seems, is that playtime is suspended.
Today, I witnessed an older frumpy blonde haired white woman thump a small black child on the forehead for «putting her shoes on the wrong feet a second time». I know this because I could hear her yell it over to the second employee who was dark complected with dark hair. The frumpy woman also grabbed a small white child up by the bicep (who was already crying b/​c she didn’t want to be in timeout) and began screaming in her face about whatever it was… This part alludes me because I began filming it with my phone.
The screaming by the employees is a DAILY thing and is ‘somewhat’ tolerable but touching these children for ANY REASON is not acceptable!
I would NEVER, EVER, EVER put my child in this daycare even if it was the cheapest place or whatever draws people to it. I have had a front row seat for 3+ years and have NEVER seen a single thing that comes from those employees that I liked on that playground. I can only imagine what goes on behind closed doors when there aren’t any prying eyes to witness any bad behavior by those employees.
You want a second opinion… Look at this article:
Which is a crime against a 4 year old. Nice screening they have there. :-(. A simple google search will enlighten you.

My daughter has been attending this school since December 1, 2012. The curriculum is wonderful and so are the staff members. I’m so happy I ended up choosing this school. My daughter is always happy to be here and has grown significantly mentally since she started.
