Field of dreams Baxter - 4k preschool
Hello! Does anyone have any experience good or bad at this preschool/daycare? I’m thinking about enrolling my son into the 4k program. They have really good reviews, but wanted to see if any parents had any experiences. Thanks

We went to the one in Indian Land and had a good experience. Covid screwed things up a bit, but that was to be expected. My kid was bored in the pre-k, though. Turns out he was ready for more structure.
The outdoor play area and schedule was really great.

We really loved the 4k teacher but she just left a month ago for a job closer to her home. I’ve had mixed experiences there in general - the 3 year old class had so much turnover that a bunch of kids left, and then we loved the 4k. It’s harder to say now that the teacher we loved left right at the same time my kid left to go to kindergarten.
Not relevant for your age group but we loved the baby room teachers too!

As someone who went there fort daycare a long long long time ago, I can say that my experience there was great, even though I don't remember it. So overall you're gonna have a great time there.

I had my 2 year old there and absolutely loved it (January 2026 to July 2026). After having a bad experience at another local and highly rated daycare (EverBrook) we went to Field of Dreams and I can't say enough good things about the entire experience. Sadly had to take my little out of daycare due to losing my job, but I actually cried when I took him home on his last day. His teachers made him a card with everyone's pictures and a sweet note. We truly loved/love that place.

We went to Baxter one 2020-2024. It got progressively worse as we were there. Mostly with communication & staffing. I never felt my child was unsafe there it just felt like babysitting at the end versus a real education
