Children’s Academy of Northlake, Tucker | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

We have loved CAON from the moment we started in January 2020. Before moving there, my daughter had spent her first year at a much cheaper place where the teachers have hearts of gold, but they were stretched too thin for the toddler age rooms. CAON is middle of the road pricing and they take such good care of our children. I can tell my girls are learning and thriving. My 2.5 year old comes out skipping with joy telling me all about her teachers, friends, and the things they did that day. My one year old is having a harder time adjusting but they are patient with her and us as we navigate daycare with a baby born in isolation at the height of the pandemic. I also love that they handle the menu because planning snacks and lunch absolutely drained my energy. We took a break March 2020-July 2021 to keep the kids at home and I’m so happy to have my girls back there. We were thrilled to see that most of the teachers who had been there in Jan 2020 were still there also. I truly do not understand the negative reviews, though I do see most of them are a year or more old, so I wanted to share a more recent experience that I think reflects how joyful it has been for us. Yes, communication can lag, but never when it’s urgent. And I’ve found that to be an issue with anyone I talk to who has kids at a daycare center. These folks are stretched to the max caring for our children and wearing lots of hats, so I try to extend grace with email lag time and call if I really need something. They always answer.

I absolutely love Children’s Academy of Northlake. Having had a variety of experiences in various childcare facilities, I am very appreciative of the environment at CAON. The staff collaborates well and welcomes children and parents into the CAON family. The beauty of CAON’s design is that many of the staff have been there for years and have taught multiple siblings from the same family. Both the administrative staff and the teachers go a long way to connect with the families on a personal level. You never feel like a number here and the staff genuinely care about the children-their wellbeing and academic growth. Extra care is given to providing differentiated instruction to ensure children are supported. I am especially appreciative of Ms. Lauren’s high standards and dedication to children.

We’ve been part of CAON for over 4 years with two kids from the infant room through Pre-K. Lauren and Taylor and all the teachers and staff have been amazing. My younger one looks forward to “school” at his toddler 2 class everyday. We moved from the area and then looked at some other schools but decided to stay because of the openness of their classrooms, nice shaded playground and all the extracurricular activities like music, recitals and performances, field trips to the library, pumpkin patch, berry patch, and summer water play, holiday activities like egg hunt and Halloween at the senior center.
