Our daughter has been at Carepointe Southwest since she was about 5 months. She is now 3 and doing great. All of the teachers know her by name and are... Read More great at learning each child’s mannerisms. Additional activities are available during the day, such as Cartwheels which has been nice to help with introducing our daughter to extracurricular activities.

Read More for the children. I really appreciate their communication — they keep me updated throughout the day on meals, diaper changes, naps, feedings, and any incidents which gives me peace of mind.

Carepointe has been a God sent to our family. We are involved parents and want to hear about our child’s day. Carepointe over communicates to us and always allows us... Read More to ask questions. My child required some additional therapies and the staff willing ask what they can do to support him. We are grateful we found them.

This was my daughter's first year attending Carepointe and she did so as a school aged summer camp attendee. I was concerned due to reviews being not-so-nice. Since my child... Read More is school-aged she is more than capable of telling me if there were things she felt unsafe about. Our tour was with Madison in the spring of 2025, she was super lovely, full of information, and her children attend CPA. I emailed her and Tonya 50-million emails and never once did I feel they were annoyed. Communication is easy: through their app, email, or even just when you pick up or drop off. PROS Hours and cost are amazing and better than most places. They take trips (almost daily) so the kids are not just sitting around doing "nothing". Teachers are personable and are willing to help a struggling child (mine was nervous to attend the local swimming pool-a teacher was with her the whole time encouraging her while they swam). The center is clean, during pickup I see each room being wiped, mopped, and sanitized. They provide all snacks and lunches. The doors are locked at all times and you have to be buzzed in. They have a big gym, my daughter found her love of volleyball. Thanks, Miss Anna. CONS They provide all snacks and lunches... So if your child is picky this may be more difficult for them. Their play area is small and mostly for younger children that attend their school/daycare program. Now, on to Miss Tonya: I've interacted with her plenty of times and never got a vibe that she is rude, racist, or condescending. She has been called out many times on reviews for these things and in my interactions or being around when she was interacting with others I never witnessed this. My daughter wants to come back!!
August 13, 2025Randi AinsworthMy daughter has been attending Carepointe since she was 12 weeks old and is now 18 months. I was very nervous to send my first baby to a daycare where... Read More I knew nobody, but they quickly got to know her and have taken such good care of her. I really appreciate how responsive the staff is when I have questions and all of the updates and pictures they post through the app during the day. My daughter looks forward to going to day care every single day!
August 14, 2025Katy BoskCarepoint Academy is a vibrant community that nurtures our future leaders, thanks to its exceptional teachers who provide guidance and support. My daughter is truly thriving here!
