Megan Jackson My daughter and I absolutely love this daycare! From the very first day, we’ve felt welcomed and supported by the amazing staff. Everyone is so friendly, attentive, and genuinely cares about the kids—they truly feel like extended family. The facility is always spotless and organized, which gives me so much peace of mind. Cleanliness and safety clearly come first, and it shows in every detail. What really stands out is how well the staff work with all families, no matter their background or specific needs. They’re incredibly understanding, flexible, and go above and beyond to create a supportive and inclusive environment for every child. I am so grateful to have found this place. My daughter is thriving, happy, and excited to go every day—which, as a parent, is the best feeling in the world.

Kevin Hector My son has been attending Kid R Kids since just after its opening, so we are coming up on 2 years of enrollment as of the time of my posting. We’ve been very pleased with his teachers and all other staff. Everyone, and I mean everyone, working here knows him by name. This was noticed within weeks, even with teachers he’s never had. I appreciate that they all know the kids and each parent. Teachers know us as parents, know our son well enough to talk about his likes, dislikes, and things he’s done throughout each day. They keep a good schedule with quality breakfast, lunch, and snacks. Playtime is plentiful and Involves indoor and outdoor activities. They also do great activities to help the kids learn, communicate, and have fun. All staff truly seem to care about my child and communicate with us parents effectively. My son has developed great friendships here and really enjoys attending to see his friends and the teachers as well.

Ashley Nicholson We absolutely love Kids ‘R’ Kids West Temple! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and confident in the care and attention our child would receive. The staff is incredibly friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do. The classrooms are clean, organized, and filled with engaging, age-appropriate activities that support both learning and play. The communication from the school is excellent—we always feel informed about our child’s day, progress, and any upcoming events. The teachers genuinely care about the kids and go the extra mile to create a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive. We’ve seen so much growth in our children since enrolling here, both socially and academically. Its clear that Kids ‘R’ Kids West Temple is dedicated to providing top-quality early education, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a trustworthy and enriching childcare center!

Laura B Hi I know Ive waited a long time since my daughter started at this daycare. After going to 4 more, I wasnt sure, but now Im super happy with the progress her 2B Teachers have made the best They are excellent. At her 2-year-old, she knows the alphabet and numbers in English and Spanish. I interact more with people. Now I trust in leaving my daughter at Cadence Academy. Thank you so much to her teachers miss Hailey and Kassie, and miss Alondra and everyone at this daycare for having compassion and love for your work. THANK YOU GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Selma Fabian The teachers are so amazing here at the school. My son loves his teachers and they work with him so well and they keep my in the loop about my child’s day. As well infant 4 teachers they are so amazing they are so lovely and sweet to the kids and work really well I couldn’t be happier for my kids to be at this school they’ve changed so much since being here♥️

Bradley Kathryn (Katy) I absolutely love Cadence Academy!!! The environment is clean, organized, kid friendly, and they have cameras to make sure kids and teachers are safe. The director, teachers and other staff are wonderful....very caring and nurturing towards the kids. They take kids from 6weeks to 12years old...and have a excellent Preschool program. Their after-school program is pretty great when it comes to the summer...they constantly schedule events/activities (like trips to movies, bowling, park, etc) to make it fun for the older the kids.

Alexis Mancini We have been very happy with Primrose Temple! The staff has been very kind to our son and they do lots of fun art projects with him, even as an infant. The extended hours and flexible drop-off are extremely convenient. Would definitely recommend!!

Brooke Jahner Our experience at Primrose School has been incredibly positive. Switching our son to Primrose has made a remarkable difference in his growth and confidence. After struggling with drop-off anxiety at his previous daycare for two years, we were hesitant but hopeful. Within just two weeks at Primrose, we noticed a significant change—he no longer experiences anxiety and confidently walks into class on his own. I believe this transformation is thanks to Primroses well-structured environment and consistent schedule. Every day is organized, which helps the kids know what to expect and feel secure. From the moment we walk in, the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The teachers are exceptional—kind, patient, and great with the kids. Overall, we wish we had made the switch to Primrose sooner. Its been a relief to see our son thriving and happy at school. We highly recommend Primrose School for any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive environment for their child.

Kassidy Keathley Extremely dangerous. I pulled my son from this daycare because after being there a little over a month there was an incident, and he was injured so badly that he had to get surgery. What is more concerning is that I kept getting conflicting information on how the incident occurred. The staff give printouts on a senate bill the will inform you of the right to view any footage with your child in it in the event of any incidents occurring, but they dont have cameras in any of the rooms where these incidents are most likely to occur which I find to be extremely concerning. The only cameras are outside the classrooms.

Shaterica Abddeen Seriously considered this facility for my child, that is until we had the tour. 1. The door was not locked. 2. Although it was disney dress up day, the staff who were not participating were not dressed appropriately. 3. The staff were not welcoming, we stood at the door entrance for quite a while before being greeted. 4. Many staff members had heads down & were on their cell phones. 5. Not a spacious facility, very crowded. 6. Lunch that day were hotdogs & tots. 7. A child was carrying the lunch tray (whole, hotdog & bun) with 2 plates to the classroom not an adult. 8. Although, we paid the hold fee & changed our mind in less than an hour, our money was not refunded. Which is fine, we’d rather lose the money & have peace of mind of the care our child is under. 9. Go with your gut, if it does not feel right don’t do it. Everyone is different, perhaps we went on a bad day. The facility wasn’t for us but it might be the perfect place for the next family. 10. The young lady who provided us the tour was very nice & professional. The director was very timely with response to emails.

Big T Tech I don’t have children but the day I drove by this business and saw the baby run out in the middle of the street and me and another car in front of me had to stop. We both jumped out of the cars. He got to the baby first because he was in front of me. He took the baby back to the daycare center. I was appalled!! NEVER TAKE YOUR CHILDREN HERE PLEASE!!!

Nacole Wells Seems like the workers always have their phones out and on them, seen it myself, I find it hard for 2 adults to watch 10 kids effectively when they are looking at their phones. I also havent seen any enrichment and actual engagement between workers and the younger ones, maybe I just miss seeing it everyday?? (Now the older ones do get to do activities and go outside.) its like they just feed the littles, lay them down and let them crawl all on the floor with out any real interaction or stimulation. As someone whose done child care in the past its kinda upsetting. I guess if you just want your baby to live through the day this is an ok place but if you want them to grow and learn early on then its not the place I would choose. My kids no longer go here as of recently.

Kb W I am beyond blessed to have my child attend this school. From the first day meeting the staff I felt like family, each teacher truly wants to be there and loves Jesus and sharing that with these students. I cant say enough about the prek teachers and how patient they are, understanding, and become your best friends before the school year is over. The football and cheerleading is wonderful, if I could give this school 100 stars I would! Thank you CTCS!

Jonny Weiss Poor communication has been a reoccurring theme when dealing with CTCS. I wholeheartedly expect this pattern to continue the rest of the school year and beyond. Im looking into alternative options, its a shame this is the only school within the area. I dont know what the exorbitant tuition is going to

Levi Burt Think I is a great school it could use some fixing but a awesome school.

Nathalie Pelarin This blessed day care center has been our salvation when my son was literally “expelled” from another center after 8 days of attendance. We had just arrived from overseas and my 3 year-old was having a hard time adjusting to the center as he had been going to the same place for 2 years. After our horrible experience at the center who said he wasn’t welcome there anymore, A New Day Learning Academy was a blessing in our new life adjusting to the new country. Ms Coby welcomed us with open arms and all the staff has been super understanding and compassionate with our situation. They’ve been amazing to my son and I’m so thankful! I can highly recommend these amazing people who clearly love what they do and are so fantastic with the kids. The environment is happy and comforting!

Cristiano Galiano We were so lucky to have come across this center. The staff is so friendly and always have the warmest smiles. The environment is happy and Welcoming. My son loves the center and his educators We highly recommend this day care center.

Jamie Kettles A New Day Learning Academy is a very professional and diverse group of family and friends. My friends are very satisfied with the services their children receives while in their care.

Donn I used to go to this school when I was very young, but since I got in middle school; I’ve missed this school so much that I visit it once and awhile. I really love this school a lot and hope it is doing well!

Jessica Morrissey This is the first ever school my oldest daughter attended and they were awesome. They were pretty hands-on with the students.

Staci Southerland My son currently attends Meridith-Dunbar. He is learning so much and I am very glad that we were able to get him into Pre-K here. Mrs. Chisolm is an amazing teacher!

Anita Roberts It’s a great place to work

Jess Clary This is a wonderful school! I’ve sent two of my kids here and both have loved it and thrived here!

Tina Rodriguez Experience was extremely disappointing. Was deceived and lied to about the policies. My child was also hurt and bullied. Teacher did not SEE it happen so it did not happen according to her. I would not recommend.
