Chestnut Mountain Academy

Now that I am done with my Child Custody battle, I’d like to express how terrible my experience was with this place and the unprofessionalism from the office manager Amy. The first start of the week of pre-K for my child, everyone was alerted that there was a lice out break and this seemed to happen every week. The food that I observed my child eat for lunch was rolled up ham and corn.. food looked as if they served criminals in a county jail. Approximately 3 weeks into being here for my child, my son told me that a student from afterschool touched his private part. I as a Deputy brought this up the next day and come to find out they allowed older kids to hangout with younger kids for their after school program. Amy then tried to brush it off by saying that it was possibly an accident and she would speak with the child. Not the parent but the child. Mind you guys she pulled me into the office and shut the blinds away from other parents. My son is very smart and articulates himself very well and this place did the bare minimum when it came to this concern. When I would drop off my son in the morning, I would sit in the parking lot to answer a phone call or send a text. To which Amy asked the court guardian ad litem if I was homeless, mind you I own a home to which it’s none of her business but this alone was very unprofessional. They accidentally over charged me and refused to reimbursed and told me that it would just turn into credit. My child did not continue to be at this place. As a mother who wants what’s best for her child, please visit other daycares.

My son has been going here for about two years and I cannot say anything but great things about this place. At first my son was hesitant, due to an experience at a previous school but the teachers made him feel very welcomed and comfortable. I absolutely thank every single person who works there from the bottom of my heart! They are truly amazing, and they care for your children as their own. <3

My daughter has attended since she was an infant and is now in Pre-k at Chestnut Mountain Academy. Staff has always been supportive and attentive to any concerns and she loves going each day. I am so thankful for the teachers she has had and the friends she has made the last few years.

My son only has gone here for a week. He was having a hard time adjusting as I’ve been a stay at home mom his entire life. He came home upset a few days but I think it more so had to do with adjusting to being told what to do by another adult. The staff was amazing at making me feel reassured and confident that he was safe. The director and Ms Kara are the kindest women I think I have ever met and in just a short frame of knowing them I would send my child here again in a heart beat! They make you feel like you’re apart of their community even in just a short frame of time . The only reason we left was because of a family matter that just made more sense for our family but this school will make you feel confident your children are safe. Even if your child is like mine and it’s a brand new experience and they have to adjust to new authority figures. Please reach out to them! They are the kindest humans!
