The staff is extremely attentive and listens to your requests. The management is very kind and professional. They are like family what a wonderful facility ❤️❤️❤️they really are the BEST and I mean top tier 🫶
Gianna SmithFeb 2, 2026It hurts my heart to write this... I wanted to love this place. Imagine submitting all your intimate documents, only to be ghosted. I applied for my daughter to be a student here, and followed up severally. I never received a response from the admissions staff. Communication is terrible. It appeared as if i was begging for them to respond. It is all good. I have decided to move on after several weeks, not even an update despite my several follow up emails and phone calls. This is a review about my enrollment experience however, the internal staff with the exception of admissions appeared to be nice, and the facility was clean, and the kids looked well taken care of and happy.
Regina OkebugwuAug 11, 2025I loved this place! The teacher are great professionals! Mrs. Kisha, Mrs. Angela and Mrs. Amanda were my daughter's teachers. All the stuff are really great people.
Milagros HinojosaJul 13, 2025I am very happy to have enrolled my daughter in this school. My daughter always received an education very appropriate for her age. The teachers were lovely. Mrs. Silvia is an excellent person. Mrs. Indira is a special person. And the entire staff is wonderful with children. Thank you for this wonderful summer and for giving us wonderful moments.
Adriana PerozoJul 9, 2025Outstanding Pre-K Program! I can't speak highly enough of SHELTERING ARMS BUFORD DR CENTER. From the caring staff to the patience and loving teachers, every aspect exceeds expectations. My child has flourished academically and socially in this nurturing environment. The bilingual staff adds an extra dimension of learning, and the great playground provides endless opportunities for exploration and play. The communication between teachers and parents is exemplary, ensuring we're always informed and involved. Overall, Sheltering Arms sets the standard for excellence in early childhood education. My only regret is not enrolling my child in this program sooner!!
