Pointe Academy - McKinney, Texas

Crystal Z.

From the very start, this school has embraced us like family. I vividly recall reaching out to Rosa after a troubling experience at my previous daycare. She patiently stayed on the line, addressing all my questions with thoroughness and without any hesitation. She worked around our schedule, and my daughter was enrolled just a month later. After some time, I accepted a job that required me to move, which meant we had to leave Pointe Academy. Unfortunately, the highly-rated school we chose as a replacement did not live up to its reputation. It simply wasn't worth sacrificing my child's happiness and peace of mind. The care provided there was nowhere near the exceptional treatment we had grown accustomed to at Pointe Academy. So, as any devoted mother would, I decided to return her to the school where I knew she would receive the nurturing care that every parent desires, and I have never regretted that choice. We absolutely love Pointe Academy. My daughter began in Ms. Lisa's class and is now thriving in Ms. Trinity's class, who is also fantastic! Along with Ms. Rosie, Ms. Natalie, Ms. Stacie, and Ms. Taylor, my daughter's teachers feel like second mothers to her, and I am incredibly thankful for the entire staff.

I am beyond thankful that we found Pointe Academy for our daughter! We have been coming here for a year now (1.5-2.5yo) Our experience has been special to us. We love everyone like they are a part of our “village!”
The staff is incredibly kind, patient, and truly dedicated to making each day special for the kids. They offer a perfect balance of fun and learning. I feel like our daughter has blossomed socially and academically since joining daycare.
If you are looking for a daycare that treats you and your child like family, this is it!
We love our Pointe Academy Family!

-Some things I thought I would add-

There is an app that you will download to see all notifications, check-in, check-out, message teachers, see photos, etc.

Education: They strive to teach and help the children learn! Our daughter comes home excited to share something new she’s discovered. I feel like they keep the children engaged with interactive activities, but also take time for some one on one learning. The children also go to chapel once a week.

Activities: The kids are always doing some type of fun activity. When I see they are messy with paint/bubbles/stickers I am so thankful! The kids are having fun and I didn’t have to buy it, organize it, and clean it up! Like please take my daycare money! 🙂

Meals: 2 meals and 2 snacks are included for the day. They serve a variety of foods which is nice for your child to try different things. The teacher will put in if they ate well or not. Our daughter does not have allergies, but I have seen if a student does they do have substitutions and work with children with allergies.

Transitioning into the next class: They give you a heads-up when your child is going to move up into the next class. For us, they put her in the next class for an hour at a time when the class was doing a fun activity to see how she did. That determines how quick/slow they will put them into the next class. This part is hard and easy at the same time. You will miss the previous teacher but the next class they are learning at their level and so you want it to happen.

Events: They have class parties for holidays that my daughter enjoys so much. There is also a fall festival that I definitely recommend going to! Friends are welcomed!

They help with potty training! Woohoo!
Every Friday there’s something fun like pajama day/show and tell/Disney day.
I could go on about this place and recommend them to everyone in the area!

Mrs.Rosa and her team have been such a huge blessing to our family. I love that the school is christian based and they utilize a curriculum for learning. As a first time mom, she made this transition safe and smooth. I receive daily pictures and activity updates throughout the day which I LOVE! &&& her teacher Ms.Lisa is a gem!! She treats the kids like her own and it shows in how much they love her. I would recommend this center 1000 times over.

I have three children, and although my two older ones spent only a short time in daycare, we went through many difficult experiences. Their friends threw dirt on their heads, and my child sat alone in the corner. When I asked what happened, the staff always said they hadn’t seen anything. Eventually, one of my children ended up in a cast. At the time, I had just moved from Korea and couldn’t speak English well, so my older children were treated unfairly.

When I decided to send my youngest daughter to Point Academy, I felt sorry for my older children because this place has been so wonderful. The teachers are incredibly kind and treat the children with love. My daughter is usually very shy, even with people she sees every week. But in just two days, she adapted perfectly to daycare and liked it so much that she would ask for her teachers and friends the moment she woke up.
Before coming to Point Academy, I toured many other daycares, but I didn’t feel a genuine connection and felt resistant. I could sense it from the expressions of the teachers, who looked angry or emotionless. But at Point Academy, I have never seen a blank face. The staff are always happy and cheerful. The moment I toured the place, I knew right away, "This is the one!"

They truly long to share the Word of God and teach the children in His love, just as God has taught us. This is a place I will never forget, no matter how much time passes. Thank you from the bottom of my heart❤️

Our littlest has been attending the toddler room since day 1 when they opened. She's so loved on and cared for while there! I get pictures and updates through the app throughout the day which always warms my heart. Rosa and Kristen (management) are both so kind and just love on all of my kids. Our 2 school aged kids attend during school breaks and come home full of fun stories and are always exhausted!!!

If you are thinking of bringing your child here, I have one single piece of advice for you.....RUN

My child was only here for 3 days and here is my detailed experience. Please take note that this daycare does not offer live feed to parent's phone due to "privacy and security" concerns. That should honestly have made me rethink registering my son, but I thought, hey, if other parents can have their children here, so can I.

Day 1: Went in to pick up my son and saw he was left unattended to at the playground while his teacher chatted away with another male teacher.
Picture me driving down to pick my son early, and there was the teacher with a male teacher chatting, the toddlers playing, and my son chomping away at mulch. I ran out of my car, called to him and the teacher, she immediately went to him, take the mulch away from him and he picked another. By now, she had left him already and began forming busy putting things in a trolley. I quickly got in, hurried to the playground, picked up my child and went to speak with the teacher explaining to her how he is still little and also trying to get used to his new environment and faces.

Asked why she didn't keep close watch on him and take the mulch from him until I said so. Her response shocked me. She said, "I took it from him three times already." I was immediately sad. I just left. Suffice to say, I cried all the way back home. I couldn't believe my son was left in the care of this person. She had a stoic and non-challant attitude to her response. How could you not care and have that attitude? How am I supposed to trust somebody like that with my son?

I did mention this the next day to the manager who promised she was going to coach her. The manager confirmed that she brought it to her attention.

Day 2: Picked up my son. The teacher mentioned he kept tugging at his vest and thought maybe he might have wanted to take it off. I replied that could be the reason. When I picked up my son to leave, I noticed his vest was damp, and I didn't think much of it until we got home. Took off his vest, and oh my! the front of his shirt was soaking wet. The teacher didn't even notice that...smh

He also showed a scratch on his face to the manager, which he didn't have when I dropped him off.

Day 3: It was uneventful except when I went to pick up my son, he was in another class with the other kids in his class since they had shortage of teachers and both teachers thought the other already changed my son dirty diaper which left me thinking, wow!

Day 4: Went to drop my son off and decided to bring up some things with the manager since she was there early. He started off talking about ensuring they still offered him the meals served by school before anything in his lunch box, which she said they still do.

Proceeded to talking about spoonfeeding him since I haven't actively taught him to use the spoon or fork by himself while we (school and I) work on teaching him how. I even went as far as telling her that I started the night before during dinner. Apparently, she didn't like me asking them to spoon feed my child. Told her he is fine with finger foods, but things like rice won't be as easy. She then went on to talk about how he throws food on the floor. What do you expect, you give a spoon to a child who hasn't been taught how....

By now, things have become uncomfortable. She proceeded to talk about how my child pinches the teacher. I went on to say, if he pinches, then tell him a firm NO, he will likely do it a second time, be firm again and take his hand away, engage him in something else.

What got me frustrated was when she said, "IF your child keeps pinching the teachers and hurts them...." I was aghast. A 15month old, hurt the teachers? I knew immediately that this was not the place my son would feel safe in. I asked her if she wanted me to take my son away, and she said NOTHING. I went in and took my son.

I didn't even get the opportunity to tell her my son had several episodes of cold and cough leading to 2 throw ups overnight. THANK GOD I TOOK HIM OUT OF HERE.
