SEE WHAT PARENTS SAY ABOUT US
- Ryan Hawkins
Our son has been attending since he was about 3 months old. We love the small number of children means all the teachers (including those not even in his room)... Read More know his name and can tell us funny stories of things he has done during the day. The teachers in his room care so much in helping us on what we are trying to develop from home whether it was using a bottle better, learning to walk, or helping us give him meds for some minor health stuff. They are always so excited to see him in the morning! We have had a few issues with staff and the way things have been handled around some of our requests but have found that as long as we are willing to bring it up in a calm conversational tone, we are listened to and the issues are addressed as soon as is possible.
September 8, 2025Dave RodenbeckCarepointe is great! The staff is so helpful and are very communicative during the day. The directors are friendly and greet us by name every morning. 10/10!!!
August 15, 2025Lesli BrownIf I could give more stars I would. Carepointe has been a second home for my daughter. The care, attentiveness, and love every staff member has for her puts my... Read More momma heart at ease. She’s been attending for over a year and I cannot give enough praise for everyone there. I absolutely love the updates and pictures throughout the day. Not only are they amazing, even when my oldest daughter goes with me to pick up her sister all of the staff love her as well. Carepointe is hands down Amazing! We love Carepointe!!

My child has attended Carepointe since he was three months old. I had a really hard time returning to work and the staff lovingly worked with me. I was able... Read More to go nurse him in the middle of the day for the first few months, and they always kept me posted on the app with updates, pictures, and messages. He’s on his third room now, and each set of teachers has been lovely. When I have had concerns, the director was responsive and staff were always willing to work with us. Everyone is flexible and kind, and even staff that are not in my child’s room know his name and say hi. He loves all of the crafts and fun activities, and we are so pleased to have Carepointe as part of our team!
September 8, 2025Korey PhillipsGreat staff and always keep parents informed
August 15, 2025Shannon GloverOur daughter has been at Carepointe Southwest since she was about 5 months. She is now 3 and doing great. All of the teachers know her by name and are... Read More great at learning each child’s mannerisms. Additional activities are available during the day, such as Cartwheels which has been nice to help with introducing our daughter to extracurricular activities.

This was my daughter's first year attending Carepointe and she did so as a school aged summer camp attendee. I was concerned due to reviews being not-so-nice. Since my child... Read More is school-aged she is more than capable of telling me if there were things she felt unsafe about. Our tour was with Madison in the spring of 2025, she was super lovely, full of information, and her children attend CPA. I emailed her and Tonya 50-million emails and never once did I feel they were annoyed. Communication is easy: through their app, email, or even just when you pick up or drop off. PROS Hours and cost are amazing and better than most places. They take trips (almost daily) so the kids are not just sitting around doing "nothing". Teachers are personable and are willing to help a struggling child (mine was nervous to attend the local swimming pool-a teacher was with her the whole time encouraging her while they swam). The center is clean, during pickup I see each room being wiped, mopped, and sanitized. They provide all snacks and lunches. The doors are locked at all times and you have to be buzzed in. They have a big gym, my daughter found her love of volleyball. Thanks, Miss Anna. CONS They provide all snacks and lunches... So if your child is picky this may be more difficult for them. Their play area is small and mostly for younger children that attend their school/daycare program. Now, on to Miss Tonya: I've interacted with her plenty of times and never got a vibe that she is rude, racist, or condescending. She has been called out many times on reviews for these things and in my interactions or being around when she was interacting with others I never witnessed this. My daughter wants to come back!!
August 13, 2025Bethany HalladayCarepoint Academy has been a blessing for our family! Knowing our little one is in good hands and not far from where I work has made my transition back to... Read More work much more bearable. I really like that the teachers go with the flow of the babies schedules. And that the babies, even though small, are given time to interact together. They sing, read books, and have lots of play time... All so important for their development! I love the brightwheel app they use. It tracks when children are fed, diaper changes, parents can chat back and forth with teachers and administration, and pictures can be posted of my little one. This is our first experience in daycare. I'm thankful we could choose Carepoint Academy!
August 15, 2025Princess SharpMy baby has been at Carepointe since baby was 8 months. Tammy Taylor and Ms Angie are my three teachers the I enjoyed having with my baby and Riley . Summer... Read More camp is amazing the kids going on a field trip almost everyday and pools on Friday at no extra cost to parents unless it’s included in tuition . Other than that occasional germs and biting staff do a good job and stop the toddlers from hurting each other .
