Seven Branches Academy

We have been blessed to be able to send our 2 year old daughter and our 5 year old son to 7 branches. Our son just attended their camp this summer and they have the best program, they do field trips every week, water days and always have fun activities that keep the kids entirtained and moving! It feels more like a family than a daycare and it's all done with a Biblical foundation. I highly recommend their daycare, afterschool and camp programs!

We had an unfortunate experience at Seven Branches Academy, where we were asked to leave permanently on March 23, 2023 due to concerns with our 3-year-old son's behavior. According to an email we received, our son was hiding from his teacher on the playground when it was time to transition and, on another occasion, played with his milk by pouring it into his hand and throwing it at other children. The director also stated, "I've been through this before and lost teachers because I was tolerating bad behavior longer than I should," and asked us to find a new school by April 7. At that age, our son was naturally pushing boundaries and experiencing "big" feelings, which we felt required experienced teachers to help him navigate his emotions and learn boundaries. We were actively working with him on these skills at home and even requested a parent-teacher conference to discuss ways to improve his school environment. My wife, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), was working on a plan to support him. Instead of collaborating with us, we felt pushed out. After leaving, we found another daycare that truly worked with our son, helping him develop confidence and manage his emotions, even though he still had tough days. He’s been thriving since. While we’re thankful for the instruction provided, we’re disappointed in how this situation was handled as our son had been there since he was 3 months old. We were always on time with payments for both our son and eventually our 2nd daughter. Sadly, it seemed that for Joyce retaining teachers was prioritized over supporting children who needed experienced care. It has taken me some time to write this review ensuring that I was not emotionally charged, but after the birth or our 3rd child this year I wanted to make sure it was created. While Seven Branches may be a good fit for many, it was not the right place for our family.

Seven Branches Academy is one of the finest schools in Forsyth County. They are all about love and learning throughout your child's day. The communication is awesome and the programs standards are high. Everyone works together to ensure the success of each child. If your family is lucky enough to attend SBA, then you are truly blessed. Rest assured you made the right choice!

I’m not over exaggerating when I say that sending my kids to this daycare was the best decision I ever made for them. My daughter is learning so much in her preschool class and is absolutely thriving. My son is being extremely well cared for and loved. He’s had some eating concerns and they have been a huge help in his whole food journey. I love Ms. Joyce and Ms. Amy and every teacher we have encountered. I can not say enough good things. This is where you want your kids, trust me.

The love that is poured into each child at Seven Branches is unmatched. We are going on almost 4 years of having our children attend Seven Branches and have loved every moment. Joyce has developed an environment where our children are excited to go to school and have learned so much, and come home feeling loved. I recommend Seven Branches to anyone, and feel incredibly blessed that my children are part of the sweet school family that Joyce has created 🩷
