Absolutely love this place. We've been taking our daughter here ever since she was old enough to attend. Our teachers have been amazing - especially our current one Ms. Missy. You can tell she goes above and beyond in her classroom initiatives. I also really REALLY appreciate when she (and other teachers) take the time to let me know how my child is doing. They spend so much time with my child that it really needs to be a partnership. Miss Angela does a wonderful job as the director of this branch. She has gone above and beyond for us many times - and we truly appreciate it. There will always be days where the teachers are sick or on vacation...and my child may not get the same high standard of care I'd expect from our permanent teacher...and that is ok. At the end of the day - do I feel secure in knowing my child is safe and being taken care of at Sandcastle? YES! I'd recommend them to anybody!

Terrible care with children I would never recommend this place. My baby was there for hours for two days and after hours after I left him they told me that he cries a lot and that he doesn't grab his bottle by himself and that they can't teach him because they have other children. Those two days during the hours my son was there he did not eat , I explained to them that he turned one two days ago and that he had always been at home taking care of my mother so everything was new to him. To which the teacher told me that what they would do is sit him in the chair and let him cry because they don't have time to help him eat. On the third day that he was there for less than an hour they called me to say that he was crying a lot and that it seemed like something hurt him. And when I got home he had scratches on his back, leg and ear. The headmistress and the people in charge of the classroom said that they didn't know, that he was just crying. They really take terrible care of the children and it seems that they can't keep up, but if they can't handle the children, why take in more children? If you don't have the patience to care for and teach children, you shouldn't be working with children.

I switched my sons daycare twice before finding this one and he loves it here! The staff is very professional and the facility is always clean! Most importantly it’s very apparent how much they care for the children! I always recommend this location and wish I had found Mrs Angela’s daycare center sooner! Thank you ladies for all that you do, for loving and caring for my sweet boy and helping prepare him for Kindergarten!

My child started going to Sandcastle right before his 3rd birthday. I love the staff and the teachers! My kid just finished with the VPK classes and he has learned so much over the past 2 years and grown so much in the last 2 years. They always have some really fun or cute activities going on. My child did take a little bit to adjust from the 3 year old class to having a little more structure in the VPK Class, but even still he loves it. He has had some of the most wonderful teachers since he got here. Ms Kayla (2 year olds) is absolutely amazing the kindess love and respect she shows the children cant be beat (my child still adores her) (Ms Kelsie was wonderful but she isnt there anymore) and the VPK Teachers Ms Gina and Ms Christina are really dedicated to our childrens learning and growth. They take pride in watching your childs growth! Ms Missy has the 4/5 year olds when they are not in VPK and she is wonderful with the children as well. You can tell that these people are here for the kids and not just the paycheck! I love that my child will still be able to attend during the summer and in the coming years during school holidays!!

Absolutely horrible. The director Angela does not care about your concerns as a parent. When my 2 year old got bit in her leg TWICE that left bruises for a month, there was no incident report and no one knew what happened. When I tried talking to the director as a concerned parent she said very rudely like I was a problem “we can’t see everything so I don’t know what to tell you”. The director has given information out about my child to another parent before even telling me. Teachers yell at kids constantly. I took my children out of their daycare due to the fact that I’ve watched a teacher grab another two year old my their arms and yank them. I’ve witnessed a teacher leave her class of two year olds unattended while I was dropping my daughter off. And when it’s brought to the director’s attention she laughs in your face and does not care. I’m sure there are some great teachers here (I loved all of the teachers in the infants room) but I don’t believe my children are safe in this daycare at all. Which is why I took them out. If I could give 0 stars, I would.

Caught teachers yelling at 2 year olds. Not raising voice but abusive yelling and demeaning. Was horrified. Brought it to the director and owners attention immediately, nothing was done. Hindsight I should have called DCF it was that bad but I was in shock. Took my kid out immediately and never went back.

The operations manager Angela is rude and yells at her employees over any slight inconvenience. Now that I know how the place operates, my child will never be going back. It's unfortunate because the individual teachers are mostly great. But head honcho shouldn't be working with children.
