Also known as KinderCare Canton. They were so understaffed they had to close rooms for a bunch of kids for at least a few weeks with only a 1 day notice. It has been 8 weeks and there has been zero communication about a return date still. With only a 1 day notice it left a lot of parents out without childcare. Would hate for another parent to be in this situation as well.

If you don’t mind having your child with different teachers/classroom every day than this is a start for you. Said they had lessons plans and would teach to potty train but ended up with free play all day, no rules and bathroom breaks every couple hours instead of every 30mins. Beware

We moved from Marietta into the Canton area. Our 1 year old has had an amazing transition and absolutely loves it. There is so much space for him to play. The staff is absolutely fantastic! They keep us well informed. I never worry about my son as I know he is in the best care. He is greeted everyday with smiles even underneath their masks. Highly recommend!!

We love Dogwood Hills Academy (Kindercare). It is my toddlers home away from home. They love going to "school" and doing fun activities and playing with their friends and on the playground. The teachers and staff are so friendly and communicate with me on a daily basis. Would defiantly recommend :)

We LOVE DHA! Our kids have been going here for three years and I have nothing but positive things to say! All of the teachers are so kind and patient and truly love the kids. Even teachers my kids have never had know who they are and always speak to them :) My older kids are in pre-k this year and are having a great year! They love going to school and are learning so much. We also have a baby and I am never worried that she isn’t being taken care of and given everything she needs. There has never been a lack of communication and I feel that parents are always kept in the know about their child and the school. If you’re looking for a daycare and/or preschool, Dogwood is amazing and far better than I ever imagined daycare could be :)

We have been attending Dogwood for over four years and have been so impressed! Between the teachers and regular staff I have never felt more comfortable leaving our boys somewhere. Both boys have attended their pre-k programs and Ms. Mary and Ms. Kayleigh have exceeded all expectations!! This staff is like family to us and so thankful we found them!!

We absolutely LOVE our Dogwood Hills family! The staff welcomes us with kind words and smiles you can even see under their masks, making us feel special and valued. Each day at drop off, my 3 year old can't wait to run back and see his friends and his teacher. When I pick him up again up to 12 hours later, he can't wait to tell me about how much fun he had and show me all his work. My 7 year old participates in the afterschool program a few days a week she loves it. My favorite part of the Dogwood Hills program as a parent are the countless pictures of my kids they take during the day and send home regularly. Seeing them interact with their friends and work on projects gives me reassurance they are not only playing but also learning. Plus they are always smiling. My kids have grown so much mentally and socially since we enrolled almost a year ago. This program has been such a blessing to our family.

Dogwood Hills has been a second home for our daughter! Being a first time Mom, I was nervous leaving my baby in someone else’s care at only 8 weeks. However, they put our nerves at ease and Mable loves Her school as much as we do. She has been there for 2.5 years and we couldn’t imagine being anywhere else!Their staff is friendly and family oriented and the teachers are very personable to each kid.

We have been attending Dogwood Hills Academy for almost four years and have nothing but positive to say about our experience. They have truly become like family to us. The center director is very informative and does a wonderful job communicating with parents. Each and every teacher my children have had in class have been compassionate and treated my children as their own. I have watched my children learn and grow from the curriculum taught at DHA. In light of the pandemic, they are taking every measure to keep the kids safe while in attendance. I highly recommend DHA to anyone looking for an excellent school with a "home away from home" feel.

We are thrilled with the experience our son has had over the past year at Dogwood! The teachers, staff and other families we have met are all wonderful. Our son is so fulfilled when we pick him up after a full day at Dogwood, and we love hearing all about his day. We also appreciate the level of communication from the staff so we stay informed of what the kids are eating, learning and doing each day. Thank you Dogwood for our experience so far- we look forward to another great year with you all!

We have have been at Dogwood almost 3 years now and have been more than happy with the care our children receive. Our oldest went into the school at 2 years old when she’d been at home with her grandmas, so she was extremely shy. And me as her mom was extremely nervous for the transition from home to daycare. They went above and beyond to make her and I feel comfortable and ease her transition to the new environment, and she has flourished. All 3 of our girls are well cared for and love their teachers and their friends. Whenever there’s an issue in the building, the teachers and administrators are professional and communicate with us. They’ve done an amazing job of adapting to all of the guidelines that have come with this new “norm” and have done an excellent job of keeping our children safe and cared for.

We were nervous to pick a new school for our son after moving across town to Canton. Dogwood Hills was the place that made those nerves go away. It was everything we expected and more. We love DHA, but more importantly our son loves DHA. He was truly able to flourish here and is now confident and ready to transition to Kindergarten. Couldn’t be more grateful for this place.

I had an absolutely terrible experience with this day care. The first few months were great because my daughter had a really great teacher. I was so overwhelmingly happy with the care until they switched her to the next class up. My daughter would be sent home in dogwoodhills extra clothes all the time because she had an "accident"(She would always have extra clothes in her bookbag but they would never look in the bag and use them). She wore a diaper ! I didn't understand how she was having accidents while in a diaper until I realized they were going up to five hours at times without changing her. When my daughter got to the point where we were potty training her at home and she always used the potty I talked to the daycare about moving her up to the next room and was told that they didn't have time to take her to the potty when she needed to, until she could hold her urine for atleast 2 hours she would just have to keep peeing in her diaper. One day as I came in a little late with my daughter I came into a room where the teacher was holding a sweet child up by his arms and screaming at him. I was done. I also felt terrible that at the beginning I referred my sister in law to take my nephew to this day care as well. Especially since my 4 year old nephew came home one day with painted fingernails without asking the parents permission! I would never ever recommend another sweet child have to go to this terrible daycare! I thought the fact it was one of the more expensive day cares meant my daughter would get the best of the best but sadly that was no where near true.

We love Dogwood Hills! My husband and I toured several daycares in the area and this was the last one we toured. We knew right when we walked in that this was the right one. This was our first time putting our child in daycare and we couldn't be more pleased with Dogwood Hills.

Our youngest daughter is has now started Pre K and we could not be happier with Dogwood Hills Academy. It is a great school, close to home and offers a great program. We thoroughly enjoy the activities they plan for the families and fun we all have together. Would definitely recommend!
