Cranfield Academy Wake Forest

Incredible experience since day 1. We relocated from Virginia and immediately felt welcomed and impressed from the initial tour. Mrs. Nessy and her entire staff are committed, kind, and simply the best. I couldn’t imagine sending my children anywhere else. I absolutely love Cranfield Academy!

Every parent knows how challenging it can be to find the right balance when searching for child care. Safety, security, a loving environment, and capable teachers who genuinely care for your child are just a few of the factors I consider when evaluating schools. Cranfield Academy meets all those criteria! From the head of leadership, Miss Nessy, to every teacher I've interacted with, it's evident how passionate they are about their work. My daughter actually looks forward to going to school each morning, and I couldn't ask for a better environment for her to be in.

My daughter has had a great experience since transferring to Cranfield a few months ago. I can honestly say the staff, Teachers as well as the school director Miss Nessy, truly enjoys and love what they do and it shows in the students, the upkeep of the school, as well as the eagerness that my daughter has to return to school. I’m so relieved as a parent knowing my daughter is safe, getting the education that she needs and is genuinely being cared for!

In the comment below someone said there’s discrimination against Latinos. I’m a Latina mom and I have NEVER felt any kind of discrimination toward me or my kids. In fact, I get along with ALL the teachers at this center, some of them even practice Spanish with me when I go pick up my kids. My kids were going through a rough time when they started in the after school program, and since day one I could feel the emotional support they were given. Ms. Nessy was even an emotional support for ME during that time. I have ABSOLUTELY nothing negative to say about Cranfield Academy in Wake Forest. About the “time out” comment, I’m a mom and a teacher with 7 years of experience, and most likely they’re just sending the kids to the cozy area or books area. That’s a way to give them space and time to calm down before rejoining the group. There’s NOTHING wrong with that. And regarding the food… if you don’t want your child eating repeated meals, then send them with their own food. No place is going to design a special menu unless your child has multiple allergies. Let’s be real.

Cranfield Academy has been an excellent place for my children. Their teachers, Mrs. Lavern and Mrs. Sara, do a great job with them every single day and are very kind, especially Mrs. Nessy. She is very sweet and always has a good face when dealing with the children and parents. I am very satisfied and proud that my 5-year-old son is ready for kindergarten this year. I have no words to thank them.

We spent about 3 years at Cranfield and never had any major problems or issues. We appreciate all the great breakfast and lunches cooked and eaten in a cafeteria setting. Granddaughter learned and loved her teachers Ms. Evans, Ms. Juannaka, Ms. La-Vern and Ms. Sara so much and we are so thankful for everyone involved for the beginnings they helped her achieve! ❤️❤️

Going to try not to make this sound like a love letter but our family loves the teachers and staff at Cranfield so much, it just might. Our daughter was at Cranfield from an infant to Preschool age and she grew so much during that time. She is now in Pre-K as a 3 year old largely because of her experience at Cranfield. Mrs. Kat and Ms. Kalisha helped to prepare her academically and socially and her current teachers are so impressed by how well mannered, articulate, and friendly she is. Mrs. Nessy, the school leader, was always so supportive of us as parents, patient with us (admittedly, we could be “those parents”) and helped us to challenge our daughter in areas where she wasn’t so strong. All of the teachers our daughter had were nurturing and committed to her development (Hey Ms. Tee and Ms. Tay!!!!). Her 2 year old teachers potty trained her, Mr. Dan (school chef….no literally, he’s a chef) makes healthy meals for the kids, they have so many fun school events, our daughter was able to take advantage of extracurricular STEM activities, and so much more. School changes and updates are communicated effectively and we were happy with how they approach security at the school. We miss Cranfield but are deeply grateful for the time our daughter was there. We’d definitely recommend this school to other parents.

This has been such an awesome school for both of our kiddos. The school has became family to us and each teacher has been absolutely awesome. Mrs Nessy, Ms Tay, Ms Cooke, Ms Anayah, Ms Sara, Ms Lavern has been such a huge help in caring for our kids! Would highly recommend this daycare! If you’re looking for a place of nourishment, safety and transparency.. this is the place. It will always have a place in our hearts.

Still run by the Chens- avoid. They offer perks for families that leave 5 star reviews. Make them prove their curriculum to you. Speak personally with the "teachers" and most importantly check their online inspection reports! https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/childcaresearch
