Holdheide Academy

We absolutely love Holdheide Academy! Both of our children go there, and Tammy and staff go above and beyond to meet the needs of all students. Security allows for only fingerprinted (scanner) in, along with camera throughout the facility. Carpets are heated in the classroom for comfort of the students!

Best place I could have enrolled my daughter!! The owner is absolutely amazing!! The school is more like a family and owner is a friend. My daughter is so shy and untrusting a lot of time with people, but has blossomed since being enrolled here. The teachers are amazing and I wouldn't want to have my children in anyone else's care!!

My child was bitten 18+ times and I made sure to file a report with the police and Bright From the Start. This school was fined for lack of supervision, please go to the Bright From the Start website and view the visit reports, almost everything is NOT MET. My child was only there for two weeks and I should have been refunded my money, but wasn't. Tammy tried to tell me it was ringworm, so I raced to the school with my pediatrician waiting for us, only to walk into the classroom and discover that my child had bite marks all over his body including his face. Please for your peace of mind and your child's well being, stay away from Holdheide.

If I could rate this daycare with ZERO stars I would. I am a single mother who had to put my 5 month old in daycare to work full time and they were AWFUL. When I met with Tammy, she seemed to be the sweetest woman I had ever met. I was SO wrong! All she cares about is money and could care less about the children in this daycare. I went to pick up my daughter after work and she had been bitten on the face by a TODDLER. My daughter was 5 months old. Why was there a walking child in her classroom, and why wasn't my daughter being supervised during this time? She had bite marks/bruises on her little face from the boy walking around in her classroom. Might i add, I NEVER got a phone call and wasn't even notified when I picked her up! I saw it on her face and they were very sketchy about the incident. I asked them if I could know the child's name or the phone numbers to the parents of the child and they said absolutely not. Tammy told me, "Children bite." She did not notify the other children's parent at all! I immediately called Tammy a few hours later after I had tried to calm down and told her how uncomfortable I felt leaving my child in the care of "teachers" who aren't paying attention to my child. I asked her kindly to remove the walking child who is hurting my helpless daughter who couldn't even crawl into a classroom with other children his age. She declined and told me that wouldn't be happening. I took her out of the daycare, paid a week like I was supposed to and she sent me to collections for 2,000 to pay her! She said I owe a month of daycare and that what happened to my child was no excuse. She wouldn't even remove the other WALKING child from the infant room. I'm guessing he was one of the teachers kids. Do not ever put your child in the danger these people. THEY JUST WANT YOUR MONEY. Not to mention, take a look at her office. That will give you all of the information you need about the daycare. She is filthy and completely unorganized. I'm not even sure why or how this place is still in business.

Please do not go here this place is awful tammy will tell you everything you want to hear but she does it just to get your money she doesn't care about the child's well being ive seen her lay her hands on kids before and the ratios are lies because she can't keep teachers because she can't pay them she will give your kids small amounts to eat in order to save money please don't take your child here all that comes from this place is lies what really needs to happen is her to be shut down

Perfect school for my very active 4 year old! As a teacher, I appreciate the learning methods that are used at this school - my child impresses me on a daily basis with the skills and knowledge she learns. Great lessons (built in units that make sense for kids), teachers, and I wish my daughter liked my cooking as much as she loves Ms. Lori's!
