  • All of the positive reviews are coming from parents trying to help their kids teachers win a gift card. They were all emailed to leave reviews. My son attended this school for only two months, and during that short time he repeatedly came home with injuries. What was most concerning was the lack of communication from staff regarding these incidents. During his first or second week, he was bitten by another child, yet we did not receive an incident report until a week later. In another incident that broke the skin, the two teachers involved gave us conflicting accounts of what happened. Once again, we were not provided with an incident report until after the fact. Owl's Nest came highly recommended by several people, which is why we enrolled our son with high expectations. Unfortunately, our experience did not match what we had been told. Since the change in leadership and a new director, the school seems very different from the environment others described to us. While the tuition is more affordable than some other childcare options, we felt that this came at the expense of quality care. There are a few teachers who genuinely seem to care about the children, but that does not make up for the overall issues we observed. At times, it felt as though some teachers lacked the experience or training necessary to effectively manage and care for the children in their classrooms. Although this is a smaller school, we did not experience the level of care and attention we expected. Based on our experience, I would encourage parents to ask detailed questions about incident reporting, staff qualifications, and communication practices before making a decision. Or, better yet, look at other schools in the area.

  • Owl's Nest has been a wonderful place for my son to grow up in. The teachers are very kind and I enjoy the daily activities and learning lessons taught. I don't stress during the day as I know my child is in a safe environment.

  • We absolutely love Owl's Nest Daycare! Our infant daughter attends, and we couldn't be happier with the care she receives. The staff is kind, attentive, and genuinely cares about each child. They communicate with us throughout the day, which gives us so much peace of mind, and it's clear they truly care about our daughter's well-being and development. It's comforting knowing she's in such a loving, safe, and nurturing environment while we're at work. We highly recommend Owl's Nest Daycare to any family looking for quality childcare!

  • We can't say enough great things about Owl's Nest! Our son has been here since preschool and is now in Pre-K, and we've had such an amazing experience. The teachers truly care about the kids and go above and beyond to help them learn, grow, and feel loved every day. A special shoutout to Ms. Kayla—she is an incredible, hands-on teacher who has made such a positive impact on our son. We are so grateful for everything she does! We've been so happy with Owl's Nest that our younger daughter will be attending as soon as she turns 3. We highly recommend Owl's Nest to any family looking for a caring, supportive, and wonderful place for their children to learn and thrive!

  • Update: moved into the twos class and still loving it! Thank you Ms Amory and Ms Alondra!! We are so incredibly happy with the Owls Nest! As a SAHM mom to a 20 month old i realized I needed to go back to work part-time. We tried an inhome daycare and our little guy hated it, he was crying all day. The Owls Nest has been the biggest blessing; he is happy and thriving! And able to have his comfort blankie all day, which was crucial to getting him used to a new place. We love the security we feel with their building and check in process. They are very thorough and attentive to the kids, giving them lots of one on one love when needed. I love the daily updates we get and the fun pictures. They are great and do so many fun sensory, hands-on activities, and no screen time! I am very grateful to Brandi, Melissa, Katherine, and the whole team for making this such a smooth process and easing any worries we have. I definitely recommend the Owls Nest!!
