MILL PLAIN CHILDRENS ACADEMY

Amazing staff and management. They have shown care and love to our little one at every step. I get several pictures throughout the day and every time we pick her up she is very happy. I love that the care providers, not only take care of our kids, but they actually care about our kids! All childcare is sooo expensive, but we used Kiddie Academy for our first kid over 3 years ago and the Children's Academy is less expensive and has better quality care.

My six year old attended Mill Plain Children’s Academy for about a month, and we only had to leave because we lost our state subsidy. I still wanted to take a moment to boast about this amazing center! The staff were unbelievably kind, no matter which classroom they were in. The director, Sheila, is so sweet, you can tell she truly cares about how her center runs and about each individual child. Coming from someone who has worked in childcare for over 8 years, I can confidently say this is one of the best centers I’ve seen. It’s always clean, the classrooms are well-organized and inviting, and the kids are constantly engaged and having fun. The artwork displayed was always adorable! It’s a smaller center, which made it feel very personal and family-like. My kiddo was so sad to leave because he made great friends and loved his teachers. I even considered enrolling my two year old because we loved it so much. Thank you, Mill Plain Children’s Academy, for always being top tier. We will truly miss you! 💛

Can’t say enough positive things about this location. Love the water days, the numerous art work projects, and how much daughter learns from this location. Not to mention they truly care and treat these kids as if they were their own! If I could give 100 stars I would. Friendly staff, never once seen them on their phones, and if you love to see pictures throughout your work day you will be smiling all day because of all the fun your child is having. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone!

I have older children that attended this center 5+ years ago and had a great experience. However recently, when enrolling my youngest (3yo) my experience was not great. When I dropped off my toddler, the teachers were often in bad moods and appeared overwhelmed. I wanted to provide photos of my child’s family to have on the wall to make her feel more comfortable. I emailed them in November-December, and after asking multiple staff why they were never posted by mid January I was told the director was very forgetful. The last straw was when my child had a dental appointment at 10am and I was told she was not able to attend since she wouldn’t be dropped off until 11:15am. After asking other parents, I found that every parent was not being upheld to this standard. It’s clear this center gives privilege to those they favor but if you’re not one of the chosen, you may be met with unfair standards and discrimination.

Best daycare you could ask for! They really love the kids here! Everyday they do education fun projects with the kids and send you picture updates of what your little is up to. The staff are friendly and truly care about their families! I would highly recommend this daycare to any of my friends and family! My daughter has been going her almost two years now!
