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!

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! ❤️❤️

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.

First and foremost, Nessy, the school lead, runs the school in an exceptionally smooth and efficient manner. The staff and the high standard of care consistently exceed my expectations. Cleanliness is also a major factor in why both of my girls attend Cranfield Academy in wake forest. Overall, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a safe, clean, fun, educational, structured, and caring environment for their children.

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
