I have no clue where my old review went, but the one star review on here is completely incorrect. I…read morepersonally went to this daycare throughout the majority of my childhood. Randy and Janet are like family to me. I still visit when possible. The kids do not watch TV all day. They get play time, educational activites such as practicing writing (I learned how to write here which prepared me for kindergarten), and craft time (painting, coloring, etc). They throw parties for the kids on holidays and treat the children here like their own. The whole potty training thing on the other review is a boldface lie. They absolutely allow the children to use toilet paper and they of course wipe the children at every diaper change (and of course use baby powder and diaper rash ointment if necessary). I don't know how a parent that is there for drop off and pickup would claim something like that. I've been there as the child - all day - I think I would know better. Also yes, sometimes kids cry. If a kid is crying because they had to go to time out or a baby/ toddler is crying when they've been put down for a nap (fed, burped, dry, and clean of course) they obviously aren't going to pander to the child because they don't want to sleep or sit in time out. I am dumbfounded by the other review. They always take the best care of the children. Not to mention I've seen the other bigger pre schools in the area. The classes are so large that the children can't learn, the main focus is on just keeping them occupied. This childcare provides an experience that is educational and keeps the kids comfortable (the home environment is a lot less scary than a bigger pre school). Just look to me as an example. I am a college student majoring in biotechnology, and I graduated high school with technical and academic honors. I still look back on my time spent here fondly, and I look forward to when I can see Randy and Janet again.

This daycare puts on a good show with a nice website and pics, but does not provide the care they…read morepromise. The children watch tv, that is about all that goes on here. She does not usually lock the door and several times when picking up my child she was asleep in her chair while children ran around the downstairs. In the few months we had our child there, aside from the initial interview, we never saw her get out of her chair, not even when children were crying and screaming. She doesn't use baby wipes when changing pee diapers or allow the children to use tp when potty trained for #1. Please investigate fully before sending your child here, we were able to find stimulating childcare from a reliable lady that cares about our child for cheaper.

My son has been going here for 3 years now. And he absolutely loves it. Not only has he been…read moreexcelling with letters, numbers, colors and etc he also has been doing sign language. Miss.Lavonda genuinely loves the kids too. I'm very much a helicopter mom and was super nervous taking him somewhere new when we were looking for daycare. But when we met her you can tell that she enjoys what she does and has the best interest of the kids at hand. There are cameras around the house and inside which was huge for us. There are alot of in home daycares in the area that are really just doing it for the money. But if you want someone who is going to look after your child, actually teach them, care for them then you should bring your child/children here. We have way to many nice things to say about this daycare. The only "con" about it, is that there arent more of Miss.Lavonda running around, we definitely could do with more of her in this world.

I work as an assistant guide and my son attends in the Nido room. I applied for this job because I…read morewanted to try out daycare for my then-8 month old. I was very nervous about entrusting him into anyone's care, but I knew that socialization was important for his development. I applied for a job as an assistant guide for Toddlers, mostly so I could get a genuine feel for the type of care he would receive. Both of us have absolutely thrived over the four months we've been at Guidepost in Geist. I've discovered a true passion for aiding children in such a foundational stage of their development, and my son is flourishing under the care of the guides in Nido. It is such a beautiful place full of a staff that cares, to the point where our head of school has a special and individual connection with every single child in the building. It's incredible and inspiring to be part of this school, as a parent and an employee.
