I toured 10 different area schools before deciding on MSCA. It was clear from my first tour that this facility was a step above the rest. I expressed my concerns that my child was a handful. I was assured they knew how to handle him and he would be just fine. They were right! We have seen an improvement not only in his behavior in only 5 months but also an UNBELIEVABLE improvement in his education. We are amazed at what he learns each week. He is so excited to go to school each day. Every teacher in the facility knows my sons name. He hugs them all which shows me he’s really enjoying himself there. They all seem to care about him just as much as we do. Then you have the food they are served! Not your standard food, so healthy and so much variety. We couldn’t imagine having our son anywhere else. We regret not enrolling him when they first opened.

My oldest child has attended the school for the past 3 years and my youngest has been there for over a year starting at just 3 months old. We as parents need to be patient enough to understand that the management team is striving for a great fit for our children and that staff changes may occur. Communication is essential in situations that involve our children. I can be the first to say that I have had frustrations in the past as well but have always tried to be upfront with communicating those to the staff. I have always been treated with the upmost respect by the MSCA staff and management team. I would give this school more than a 5 star rating if given the chance. My children love it there and I know they are being provided with great love and academic encouragement.

First, let me say that anyone posting a 1 star review without a comment should be written off immediately. Google reviews for a children's academy is not the place for spineless internet trolls.

Second, I'll say that we have been with MSCA since it opened in 2015 and I've watched my 4 year old daughter grow up there. As expected with any newly established institution, there have been a few rough patches with staff members transitioning over the years. All the while, MSCA has stayed true to the best interests of the children and academic expectations; making the necessary adjustments to ensure they have the right staff to provide NWA with a Children's ACADEMY, not a day care.

If you're looking for a perfect teacher or institution, you will be sorely disappointed because you will not find it anywhere. However, if you're looking for a place that will love and...

We started our 2 year old this year at Mustard Seed and absolutely love it! She has come out of her shell and learns so much due to the caring and guidance of Ms. Leondra and Mrs. Charissa. Great school!!
