I went by to check out their preschool/daycare and I was pretty impressed by how organized and structured they seemed. School wasn't in session today, so I couldn't see a class, but I liked them.
My husband and I looked at Columbia Academy--during a session. We were very discouraged by the instructors and environment. However, don't let that deter you because I think it completely depends on which location you visit. We are planning on taking a look at the Maple Lawn location once it opens in November. I have a co-worker that loves Columbia Academy and I have heard great things--but I would absolutely make sure you visit during an active session and not during possible nap time. Daycare is so stressful, good luck!
Sorry for the late response...I haven't been on in awhile. We weren't impressed with the instructors. They seem disinterested and also temporary. But, like I said earlier, I think it probably varies in all the locations. We are planning on visiting the Columbia Academy in Maple Lawn once it opens. We are hoping it will be better than the one we visited. I have heard great things about the one off of Waterloo/108 near Eggspectations (not the one we visited). Good luck with the day care search!
