  My child went to this school from January 2020 - May 2025. Once the corporation that owns this daycare took over. The teacher quality went way down and the tuition went way up. In 22/23 from September to September we had 4 different tuition increases. One of which they hide from parents that had been attending. You didn’t learn about it until you went up a year level. We unfortunately got hit with it sooner than they planned and learned about it. If you were new student you paid the higher tuition fee. They just didn’t inform any of us on that. I recommend all Child Prodigy South parents to check with the Child Prodigy north and east stores. It was just brought to my attention that a new parent friend that went to child prodigy north was paying almost 70$ less a week than myself and another parent at the south store. Yes, kids are the same age. I had a conversation with the corporate office in Ohio and they told me this wasn’t happening. Just wanting parents to know how they run this daycare. The last year my child went to this daycare he had 5 different teachers in the pre k class room. They couldn’t keep teachers. Zero structure in the classroom with kids. They charged premium tuition cost for below average care. I watched this place go from a waiting list and happy fun teachers to zero waiting list and bare minimum teachers. At the north or east at least those will be cheaper for you. Crazy the same Corporation can own three daycares in the same city and have tuition be different at them. To be clear I don’t know what they charge at Child Prodigy East but definitely know the north daycare was charging way less. I will say if you’re lucky enough at 3/4 years old to get Mrs. Lilly take it. She is worth the higher tuition fee.

  Two of my children have attended Child Prodigy. My daughter is in Pre-k1 and we absolutely love Ms. Lily and Ms. Shannie. My daughter is learning so much and can already write her name. They work on letters and numbers. They do experiments. We have had a great experience here. My son struggled in daycares until we found this place. One daycare tried to make us treat him for ADHD. Turns out, he just needed the right environment and teacher. I also have to mention Miss Kim! I just saw she was back and I am so happy to see her. Both of my children had her and she is amazing. She was the teacher who really helped with my son. He’s in elementary now and doing great!

  Both of my children have attended Child Prodigy north and south and we will likely keep them there until my youngest starts kindergarten (she's 1.5, oldest starts this fall.) They have been there for almost three years. Before writing this I read the other reviews on this page and they seem a bit anecdotal and unfair. I've been through a number of daycares between my three kids and I've never had a single one of them treat me and my family as well as the owners and directors at Child Prodigy. My children have become very attached to some of the outstanding teachers there. (It's impossible to think all of the teachers are amazing at any daycare!) CP has been very open to discussing any concerns we have had and have addressed them immediately. It's a relief to have a place where I can leave my kids in the morning without serious concern for their health, safety, welfare and happiness! Thanks Child Prodigy!!

  We've had our child enrolled at Child Prodigy for over a year now. We've had good times and bad times as I'm sure most parents have with daycare centers. The positives: The infant room teachers are really good, caring people who have experience. 2.) They keep low ratios in the infant room (1:4) 3.) Kids get adequate time to play and interact. 3.) Toddlers seem to have good educational opportunities but sometimes the teachers seem more worried about paperwork and liabilities than the kids. The negatives: 1.) Transitioning between rooms and teachers can be difficult and the center could do more to promote an easier transition. 2.) We were told when touring the facility that infants and toddlers would get fresh fruit and veggies for snacktime. Unfortunately, they get Cheese-its, cookies (multiple kinds), and other assorted sugary things. 3.) Similar situation with breakfast: Frosted rolls, donuts, Captain Crunch. This is a major area they could improve in as compared to other daycare centers. 3.) While many of the primary caretakers have remained consistent within the infant and toddler rooms, they do have trouble keeping any consistency with the afternoon helpers and teachers. 4.) It would be nice to see the little kids have field trips and learn about things outside of the center. The director seems responsive most times, but they could be better about monitoring the teachers and making sure the teachers follow parents directions. They do have a website, however are very bad at keeping it up to date with the latest information. Would also like to see a bit better security put into place. They have keypads at the doors, but the codes are never changed. Would also like to see vehicles parked a bit further away from the building, but thats just a wish and not a reality. Overall, we are happy with the center but there are areas they could improve in. The prices are reasonable and they are pretty flexible with schedules.
