Cranfield Academy Wake Forest

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.

Cranfield Academy of Wake Forest was the first school that welcomed us with open arms. My family and I come from New Jersey and it was a nerve racking experience moving our 2 kids so far from home without any support. I’m so blessed to say that my children are thriving here in North Carolina. I’m also blessed to say that I have the chance to work at this wonderful school and Mrs. Nessy has not only been the best supervisor, she has become someone I could go too when times are low. Her heart grows bigger for her staff and her families. From a parent and employee point of view. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND bringing your child to Cranfield Academy. I see myself being here for a long time.

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.

Discrimination against Hispanic people. A 14 month old will be suspended at this place. If you want your child to have a label this is a great place to be? At pick up time face and diaper will be dirty. Your child will be yelled at and disciplined as time out. Also, will get flour items as pancakes, waffles, biscuits, and crackers more than 5 times a week.

I actually swapped my daughter at 14 months from one daycare I was not a fan of over to Cranfield Academy and it was the best decision! Every classroom she has been in she has loved she has been thriving since enrolling her here and it’s definitely a place I can drop her at and be at ease knowing she is well taken care of!

When I enrolled my 3 year old 2 months ago, I was skeptical of how well he would adjust after being at home for so long. It took approx 2 weeks for him to get well adjusted and he is naturally a lot to handle. I am so appreciative of the patience and attentiveness from the staff, reassuring my son that it’ll be alright and he eventually trusted them. After his last daycare experience, I truly didn’t believe I could put him in another one but this place is very well established, communication is great, I received pictures and check ins to see how he is doing. They also hold activity events and things for the kids. Nessy, the school director is such a great person and you can tell she really cares about the kids there. I know my child and saw how much he liked attending. It is such a shame I have to withdraw him to do us moving, if I had it my way I would remain in the area so he could attend. I really hope that I am able to find him quality care on the same level as he has received at Cranfield in Winston Salem. Super top quality school!

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
