Worst daycare ever! Don't expect them to care for your kids if they throw tantrum. Expect phone call from them and expect to be there within 30 mins because they can't handle it. They will say something like "I think something wrong with your child medically. May be teething, ear infection etc...I have 30 yrs experience I know what I'm talking about". The owner told me this 3 times and I took my son to doctor 3 times and his doctor said nothing is wrong. He's just having terrible 2.Also, owner is rude, inconsiderate and uncaring- told my wife to move her car and buckle my son after! Wtf...child safety! She parked there because there was no parking left and it was raining. She ran out in the rain and demanded her to move her car knowing my wife is heavily pregnant at the time. My Christ sake! There was no sign of "no parking" and not like she was gonna park more than 30 mins! The rudeness! Biggest mistake i ever made. This place just wants your $$...should not be in daycare business!!!Oh also, don't step on the grass because she would let her dog shit all over the place! Disgusting

I'm sad to say this place has really gone down hill. Do NOT send your children here.

Please take my advice and don't send your kids here, and certainly do not pre-pay for services. Once they have your money they put forth zero effort to make your child feel welcome or comfortable (even when they are in tears every morning because they don't want to go there). They will try to cover this up with talk about how their "structured environment" is "preparing children for success" or similar nonsense, as if mindlessly following arbitrary orders in a prison-like environment is the key to success... The truth is it’s just the cheapest way to run their business on the minimum staff possible.I saw zero empathy and certainly zero compassion from any staff member toward the children at any time. They act like they are doing you a favor by tolerating your child, and if you pull your child out to save them from these cretins they will keep your money. Quite the scam.

My girls have been attending Crestwood Oakes for over three years. We have referred many of our friends here as well. The teachers are wonderful, caring women that my daughters absolutely adore. Crestwood provides lot of outdoor recreation time, allowing kids to develop and improve social and motor skills. Both of my girls have learned to swim from their summer camp. Manners and pro-social behaviors are strictly enforced. The communication from teachers is top notch. I always feel well informed about what is going on at school.

My 2 boys went to Crestwood childcare and to summer camps once they started school. They also used to take swimming lessons and are still taking tennis lessons. We love the teachers at Crestwood and the whole property is amazing. Lots of outdoors space and activities which is so important these days when kids like to spend lot of time playing video games instead of playing outside. Highly recommend Crestwood Oakes!!!

I went to Crestwood Oakes from ages 2 to 14, and it was a wonderful experience, and a great opportunity that most don't get to have. The staff are an amazing group of people that helped raise me, teach me the difference between right and wrong, and always made me feel welcome. When I was young, they offered basic pre-school learning, such as the ABCs and the pledge of allegiance. With parental permission, they would take us on field trips. We would do arts and crafts, pay board games and read books, but would still have nap time for those under 5. We also got to take swim lessons from a young age and when we were older they offered tennis lessons, canoe lessons and horseback riding lessons. They have a large property with both trails and fields to play games such as capture the flag, tag, kickball, and other games. I'm in my 20s now, and I still enjoy going back to visit and catching up with them. If I am still living in the area, I will definitely send my children there when they're old enough.

At a moment when we were desperate to find a child care service that was not driven by a corporate model such as where he came from, The Goddard School, Crestwood appeared on our radar as if by miracle. Our son was not receiving adequate learning experiences while at Goddard and was stuffed into a small room with nearly fifteen other children, which contributed to an environment not conducive for learning. Out of desperation for something better we stumbled upon Crestwood Oaks and when I say it was meant to be, I truly mean that. The property is absolutely gorgeous, surrounded by nature on all sides. In addition to this, the interior is a child's paradise, an environment where once you walk in, it is very apparent that amazing learning experiences occur. Equipped with a pool, tennis court, outside adventures such as climbing and zip lines, as well as a pond for learning to canoe, Crestwood Oaks is truly a gem.However, a location with such majestic attractions is nothing if not driven by competent experienced individuals. Mrs. Keating, Mrs. Oaks, and Mrs. Rudisill have been the driving force behind our sons exceptional academic growth but more importantly, his growth in character; they are truly educators. They have been an extension of our family, imbuing our son with such a profound appreciation for learning, nature, and respect of others. The growth was almost immediate to such an extent that looking back at his days in Goddard, we felt ashamed as parents for even having put him in such an environment.From trips to the petting zoo, to the library to take out books, to parks, etc., Crestwood Oaks applies the principles of schooling that led generations of kids to greatness but is sadly in decline in our country. In addition to child care, he has taken part in their summer camp for the past two years and has learned to swim, canoe, among other things.Overall, we were blessed to have found Crestwood Oaks and would recommend this to anyone who remembers a learning experience driven by hands-on engagement and outside play. As I mentioned, they have become family to us and we will be sending our daughter there as soon as she is of age. Places such as these are becoming rare and so if you hope for the best for your child, an environment surrounded by nature, authentic educational learning experiences, and folks who are truly educators in every sense of the word, Crestwood Oaks is the place. We will forever be grateful to them.

I have 3 kids and they each have VERY different personalities. I have used La Petite (NEVER AGAIN), Kindercare (good experience but not all are the same), Kids Villa (great family that owns it and experience was ok). I moved my children to Crestwood as soon as they were old enough. I trust my kids with these people and they get kids. Their approach is old school. They teach kids not to waste and how to show manners. They try to teach good eating habits and don't allow a lot of junk in lunches. Parents have to pack a lunch no food plan is offered. I am very lucky to live near such a wonderful daycare and summer camp program. Truly good people and safe environment. I have no fears/reservations when my kids are here.

I went here as a kid, and will send my son there when he's old enough. Affordable, flexible schedules, and great teachers. Can't say enough good things about this place!

One square of toilet paper. That's all you get and at the time they tell you to go to the bathroom. Also, boys and girls lined up, pants down next to each other to wait to go to the bathroom with one square in hand.If you were "bad," expect to stand and face the corner, hands on head for up to an hour.If you were "bad" outside, expect to run around the pond until they tell you to stop. One example of being "bad" - not being able to mount a horse properly.These are just some memories I have from near 30 years ago. Don't let your kids have twisted memories from their childhood. Pick a better place for them to be kids.Oh, one last one, they put me under a trampoline once while others jumped on it.
