Mustard Seed Children's Academy

A very good school with wonderful teacher, staffs! My 5 years old daughter enjoyed here so much during summer camp! Read more >

I absolutely love this daycare! My child started out with a lot of opportunities for potty training and I can say Mrs. Holly and Mr. Jordan have been pivotal role models to my baby boy! Love this daycare and I ain’t going no where else! Read more >

My son currently attends Mustard Seed and I could not have found a better preschool! I feel so safe and secure leaving him while I go to work! I love getting updates via Procare about how much he eats, when he naps, and seeing him interacting with other friends. It really helps my husband and I make any adjustments if needed.
The new director is amazing! She is so understanding and kind. There’s new teachers on staff too who I’ve been able to meet! Everyone is so nice, cooperative, and nurturing. Would 100% recommend MS to any parent of an infant to Pre-K!! Read more >

Wonderful and caring staff. Security measures for the facility is great. We receive great communication from my grandson’s teachers daily. Read more >

Love the teachers Read more >

Mustard Seed has been a blessing to me as a single Mom. The staff has become like a second family to me and my kids. From the infant teacher to the Pre-k teacher, my son and daughter always have to stop and talk and hug every teacher on the way into school and out of school. They also have a very healthy menu that is unlike most daycares and public schools. They have a consistent staff and a system that allows you to feel connected to your children while you're at work. Most of the staff are college educated adults, and 90% of them are parents as well. Highly recommend this place for childcare!!! Read more >

Our daughter attends Mustardseed & we have had a great experience! The front staff (Meg & Kiersten) are best in class and have really stepped up recently when it came to our daughter’s food allergies. She is allergic to Egg, Dairy, Soy & coconut & they go above & beyond the ensure all the teachers are aware and trained when it comes to her food allergies. We love that there is so much education in the classroom & friends and family are so impressed how much our daughter (21 months) knows vs other kids her age! Giving credit where credit is due, to the teachers here at Mustardseed. Location is amazing & easy to get to (why we originally picked it) & have stayed because of the staff! Read more >

If there was a 0 stars option I would choose that. I would not recommend mustard seed to any parent. It was absolute chaos and I did not feel like my child was safe in their care. He would consistently come home with injuries and they “didn’t know what happened”. He was even bitten so badly it left a bruise and they claimed they didn’t know about it. I watched a teacher grab a child by the arm and pull him to the wall and make him sit. When I brought this to the attention of administrators they told me they didn’t see a problem in how the child was handled. They would spray my child with their sunscreen without my permission which he is allergic to and would cause him to have horrible reactions. The smell of dirty diapers was also so pungent when walking through the door nearly everyday. There is so much teacher turnover and I don’t blame teachers for leaving because of how terrible...

Good teachers/staff. Very poor Management/owner. Business focus rather than customer focus. Be prepared for unexpected early releases, late openings, and closures. They call due to the weather/holiday or any good reason that works. All notifications are made at the very last minute. I told to the owner in the same way they set the policies/fees/requirements they should meet at least quality management and continuous improvement in providing notices in advance. For sure they don't meet compliance requirements or any notification period, everything is at the very last minute. They are closed when all of us are normally working. At least there should be a notification period that allows the parents to communicate at work (I can not say I will not work today because my kid's school is closed). I ended up taking my kid with me at work. Finally, I decided to change to a different school,... Read more >

Josephine Highly Recommends Mustard Seed Children's Academy to their friends & family! Read more >

Our daughter has attended here since she was 8 weeks old. We absolutely love the staff. They are very attentive, the location is secure & they have addressed any concerns we've had quickly and professionally. Previous reviews showed opportunity with billing and we've had no issues. We are on auto draft, and switched banks and the transition was super easy. Also, applied for 1 week credit for advance planned vacation and received our weekly credit no issues. The infant teacher, Miss Vernise is hands down the best human we could have ever wished to take care of our sweet girl. Read more >

Where do I begin? I am raising 2 grandchildren, ages 5 and 6, and they have been in daycare for the past 4 years. Before finding this gem of a daycare, I have had my grandchildren in at least 4 other daycares, so I have experience with daycares.

If you want a daycare that sits your child in front of a television all day, or IPad, this is not the place for you. If you want a daycare that can't work with you on your Childs needs, this is not the place for you. If you want a daycare where staff is rude and toxic, this is not the place for you.

Now, if you truly want a safe, secure, loving, daycare, this is your place. This is more than a daycare! There is structure, learning, and real hands on activities, and fun! The teachers and staff are simply amazing! Most important, my granddaughter loves Mustard Seeds. She is always excited to go and when I pick her up... Read more >

We’ve been sending our sweet 5 year old boy here for over a year now. The staff is incredibly friendly and caring. My son looks forward to going to school to learn and play with his friends. The director Debbie is just awesome and Miss Christina in “Mustards” classroom is a sweetheart. She’s always doing arts and crafts projects with her students and everyday my son has something cool he made for Mom.(he’s made me one thing).lol..Highly recommend sending your little ones here for pre-kindergarten or if you need childcare. Your kid will be a leg up come Kindergarten. Read more >

🤮 If I could leave a 0 star review I would. Absolutely ridiculous and childish owner and director. Cannot believe this place is even open at this point. When you can’t even figure out how to pull the correct amount of money out of peoples account?? Had a meeting with the owner and director to discuss why our payment has not been successful after WEEKS of trying to figure it out, the day after the meeting they tell us they have unenrolled our son and cannot give us an explanation as to why. This place is a joke. We loved our 2 teachers. But the “higher-ups” are an absolute joke. DO NOT RECOMMEND! Read more >

DO NOT RECOMMEND!! Enrolled my son near May. It is currently the end of July when they unenrolled him. I had a meeting with the director due to billing. They could never pull the correct amount out and continued to pull over $500 bi-weekly. While I was having a meeting with the director, she continued to interrupt me and yelled at me. when I addressed her yelling at me, she said "it's because you're getting upset with me". I then set up a meeting with the owner of the Mustard Seed Location and the Ark location. During that meeting she could not explain where my money was going and why it was being pulled incorrectly. She then continued to say that my "money doesn't even pay the bills". Go to take my son in the next day after the meeting and was greeted with being told my son can not come in the building. Teachers are amazing! The staff is very irresponsible. Read more >

Although I have seen some of the teacher turnover other reviewers mention, they seem to have figured this out as it isn't a constant thing anymore. The few changes there have been have been well managed. By this I mean that my son was given a chance to transition from his previous teacher to a new teacher that was already on staff elsewhere. The director hasn't changed in the year I have been there.

I have had some billing errors but they have always fixed them quickly. Some of these errors were because of their incredible flexibility in providing care. Although my son is only two days a week, they have allowed me to add extra days whenever I have needed them.

I love the healthy food options and genuine affection all of the staff shows for my son. I also enjoy the photos and updates from his teachers that I get throughout the day.

My son loves Mustard Seed and has learned so much from his teacher. They show him love and compassion, which makes him feel comfortable and safe. He’s always so excited to show off his artwork and achievements. Read more >

A great group of teachers, my son always looks forward to seeing his teachers (and other teachers he comes in contact with). I personally liked how they were always on top of things. I didn't have to worry about his learning, nor do I have to wonder if he's having fun! He always had stories to tell about his day!
They are an awesome group of people! We even loved the office ladies!! Read more >

A Christian School recommended for all parents.
Forward ever IJMN. Read more >

Update: now that we have pulled our child from this facility, I feel more comfortable going into detail about other concerns parents should know.

1. Take these reviews with a grain of salt. The owner ran a contest, whichever teacher could gain the most positive Google reviews, would earn money for their classroom. Of course parents went and rated them 5 stars, hoping for better materials for their kids.

2. Before enrolling, ask about the amount of turnover. Not just teachers, but directors, supervisors and even the chef. During the year our child was enrolled, we saw at least 5-6 directors come and go. Some barely lasting two weeks. The culture from top down is very toxic.

3. Keep an eye on your bank account. Only one person has the control over payments and they seemingly misplace everything. We were overcharged twice and it was a nightmare... Read more >

My son is almost 9 months old and has been attending MSCA since he was 8 weeks. I absolutely love Ms. Amanda and Ms. Kelsy. They take such great care of all the children in their class. It’s a good feeling when you leave your little one and know that they are in good hands and being cared and loved for. Read more >

Mustard Seed Academy is a place I’d recommend everyone take their child. The entire staff is amazing but a big shout out to Miss Renita who teaches the Buds class. Her expertise and interacting with the children is outstanding. She is very attentive to each child’s needs and is always making sure to put her self on their level when the need arises. The kids are very comfortable with her. She is a perfect example and role model of how someone who deals with children every day should be. My workday is much easier knowing I’ve left my child in the hands of someone responsible, loving, caring and most of all my child’s best friend. Read more >

One of the teachers there, Charissa Outlaw, is a model of caring and concern for all children. Love her very much!!! Read more >

Great learning environment for kids. I could rest easy that my children were in great hands. Thumbs up to all the teachers; Ms. Renita and Ms. ADE in Buds, Kelsey and Amanda in Seedlings 1, Clemencia Bri and Ekta in Seedlings 2...Great Preschool. Read more >

Love Ms Taylor and Ms Jakira. They are patient and sweet to my Tucker and he loves them. Talks about them outside of school about how they are his best friends! Thanks for the love you pour into him as you are teaching him! Read more >

We have been so happy with Mustard Seed Academy. The teachers and staff are great and truly care about the kiddos. Our son has been going to Mustard Seed since he was 3 months old and a year and half later we are still loving the school. They have an excellent curriculum and feel like our little man is learning so much EVERY day! Ms. Ali does so much hands on activities and Ms. Vernice loves on the kiddos so much! Read more >
