We chose to keep her in their private pre-k program this year and are so sad that she will have to leave for kindergarten. It's such a wonderful place and I feel she is well-loved and cared for while I work.

I sent my just turned 2 yr old to "camp" here for 3 weeks this summer. She loved all her "new…read morefriends" at "pre-cool". She was always very happy to stay and didn't really seem to care to leave when I arrived - which was a good thing! On our walk home, she would sing portions of the songs she'd learned that day- "Rosie, Rosie, Rosie..FA-DOWN" (ring around the roses), "ABC. EEE.. WXYZ!' (the abcs), "Duck. quack, quack, quack". She was only one at the time, so I didn't expect perfection, I was shocked at how quickly she was learning new songs, since I'd never previously played these type songs for her. We jam to Texas Country around our house, not the ABCs. She has mama-imposed food limitations- she's a paleo baby- so no gluten, very limited dairy, no processed sugar- basically just don't feed her anything I don't send! They were very cool with it, even taking the time to get her special popsicles out of the fridge every day instead of giving her the ones the rest of the kids had. I would happily send her here during the school year for their mothers morning out program, but we just don't really have a need to right now.

Please note, this used to be an amazing daycare. Mrs. Govan and Mrs. Brittany were wonderful to…read morework with, and we trusted our children in their care. Unfortunately, after they both moved on to bigger and better things, the quality of care at Avant declined drastically once Wanda became involved in daily operations. Both of my children were expelled, with the daycare claiming they couldn't handle my son's behavior -- but many of those issues were created by how they treated him. He was often isolated, bribed with staff's personal electronics without our permission, and even placed with staff's older children (who weren't employees) as playmates. His teacher seemed disengaged, sometimes wearing headphones, and the classroom lacked structure or meaningful teaching. When we asked to see video footage after they reported a "bad day," the footage conveniently disappeared. Instead of setting healthy boundaries, they relied on tablets and then blamed us for his behavior. The owner expelled him mid-day, ignoring her own handbook procedures. At his new school, he is thriving. With patient teachers and clear, positive boundaries, he has adjusted beautifully. This confirms what we suspected all along: the problem was not our child, but the lack of professionalism and structure in this daycare. Parents deserve to know this before enrolling their kids.

I'm sure there are worse daycare facilities in the area, but this is one is AWFUL. My son's dad…read morechose this daycare when moved to Savannah. I was already living here, so I tried to find a place before he arrived with no luck. I wanted a daycare with a curriculum and most of the ones I'd called had a waiting list. That's when he stumbled upon Another Adventure. I trusted his judgement on the school because he went in for the tour. But I knew there was a problem the first time that I picked my son up from his new school. When you walk into the facility, the first smell that hits you is this rank urine odor. Which would be normal every now and again. But this was everyday. Every. Single. Day. It was disgusting. One would at least think that on a Monday it would smell clean because they must sanitize on Fridays or over the weekend. But no, it ALWAYS smelled this way. My second issue was the fact that my son had been potty training before he started going to this school. And he was doing very well. But after going to this school, he just stopped forward progression with potty training. Which was odd to me because his teachers kept telling me they were taking him to the potty at school. I found out this was a lie. I came in early to pick him up (usually I get off around the same time, but I was done for the day about 2-3 hours early one day.) When I come to pick up my son, his diaper was so full of poop and pee, it soaked through his clothes. When I confronted the director about it, she said it was because he had ran out of diapers the previous day...??? But I'd left diapers for him that morning. So I asked how often they took the kids to go potty, and she said every two hours they change their diapers. But I told her that I had been told he was being taken to the potty. And she told me they couldn't because he didn't have underwear at school. Dumbest thing I'd ever heard in my life. They continued doing this trend from September of 2018-the beginning of March 2019. The last major thing I noticed that made me withdraw my son from this facility was his overall progression and development. My son was doing well before he started at Another Adventure as far as learning new things (words, colors, shapes, how to do different things, etc.) But he became stagnant here. He screamed and screamed every morning I dropped him off before I'd go to work. And he would just stare out into space when I picked him up from school everyday. To me, that's not normal. Children typically adjust to a new place after 2-3 weeks more or less. But he never adjusted because he hated it. And I hated that I wasn't able to pull him out sooner because no one else had room for him. Other things I absolutely hated about this place was the teachers. Some of them are nice, but a lot of them I noticed that worked in my sons classroom were very rude and mean. I'd walk in to one yelling at the children, picking them up incorrectly (by their arms or just snatching them); I walked in to my son crying several times and asked the teacher what's wrong or what happen and her response was "I dunno." There diaper changing/ potty routine is questionable. They'd have several of the kids with their pants and underwear/pull-up down around their ankles just standing around waiting to be changed or to go potty. This seems like it'd create a huge issue because most of the kids can't talk and few know about good touch/bad touch. With as many children as their are in that classroom, an instructor wouldn't know if one of the kids touched another inappropriately. And if so, they're fostering an environment to where it's easy to do so. Please do not take your little ones here. I allowed my son to be here too long because I couldn't find someone with a vacancy in the area. But I've since transferred him to somewhere else that's a little longer of a drive everyday, but it's worth it because he's back to himself again.

Joel studied there from kindergarten through 4th grade, and Olivia has been there since kindergarten and is now going into 2nd grade. One thing we really appreciate is how involved they keep the parents in the children's education and activities. From STEM events to holiday celebrations, chorus performances, plays, and awards ceremonies, they always create opportunities for families to participate and feel connected. It's clear that the teachers and staff genuinely care about the students and work hard to create a positive and welcoming environment. We are very thankful for everything Marlow Elementary has done for our kids and highly recommend this school to any family in the area!
