Courtney was an excellent nurse and now I can say she is just as excellent in childcare. Courtney is always happy and upbeat and its sets the tone for the whole place.

Every time I come to pick my little one up I find him involved in some sort of activity and I know that not only is he being well cared for, but he is also learning as well! I feel so grateful for finding this place!

I waited a while (almost 2 years) before completing a review as I wanted to be as fair and unbiased…read moreas possible. I've worked in child card centers and have completed many early childhood education courses, so I am familiar with the curriculum's, State of Ohio licensing and such. I don't divulge this information initially for obvious reasons. At the time, (Sept. 2014) my girls had just turned 3 and my son was 9. I live nearby and had always seen the beautifully landscaped building. So, I asked a few friends and even inquired about it via Facebook, but got mixed reviews. I, like everyone else on here read all of the terrible reviews and immediately said, "not happening". However, a family member of mine contacted me and informed me that her children would be attending and thus far, she was satisfied (she's also still there by the way). I know that we have very similar parenting views and opinions, so my journey began. As one of the other reviews mentioned, the childcare center is clean (rarely ever do you encounter an unpleasant smell), the classrooms are tidy, they all have plenty of children's artwork and parent information (that I often hear parents complain about, but NEVER check mailboxes/cubbies or even read the board as soon as you enter the center - that BLOWS MY MIND). Registration wasn't a difficult process for me (title 20). I never had any form of miscommunication. I was advised what I was paying and when I needed to pay. I will say that the payment due date frequency threw me off at first, but I inquired about it and Ms. Jodeci printed all of my payments and dates, and clarified it to my understanding. There hasn't been an issue since. I meet the girls teacher (Ms. Carolyn) whom I absolutely adore! She was/is AMAZING! (*Side note: keep in mind that my children came from a childcare center where they were being taught songs on the radio during downtime, and I definitely didn't appreciate that, so that's why I started looking for a new center anyhow.*) I had never received completed daily sheets along with some form of artwork made by my child almost everyday! When my girls came home singing new transition songs, and sharing with me their excitement about sign language, I knew that I had made the right decision! My girls are now about to graduate from preschool and I couldn't be more proud and excited for their new journey! I read one of the reviews stating something along the lines of a child or children not being kindergarten ready. The teachers that I've experienced have been great and instrumental in my children's learning process. In fact, a few months ago, I was attempting to teach them how to tie their shoes, but one of the teachers already did! I was soooo impressed by that, AND she wasn't even their "lead/main" teacher! I immediately found out who she was and (Ms. Yo - I think) personally thanked her. Back to my point, as a parent, YOU are your child's first teacher, so don't complain about them not being college prep material when their ONLY source of educational learning is done at the childcare center. Heading into kindergarten, my children will be bused to and from school because of KA! Here are your carry away notes: - Title 20 registration isn't complicated or doesn't require you to be a rocket scientist to figure out. However, they are a stickler about having forms completed in order to be in compliance, but if the state is subsiding your cost, its the least that we can do right? Sorry, not sure about private pay costs, but I would encourage anyone to get costs/quotes of any kind in writing. - High teacher turnover. This isn't unusual in a childcare center, and to a certain extent I can understand it. - Parking lot jams. Clearly, I'm a fan of KA, but I absolutely hate the parking situation sometimes. The lot directly in front of the center is small and there is an adjacent parking lot, but when I'm just getting off, I want to get in and get out. However, sometimes this can be a challenge. Not a deal breaker, but I would like to see the lot expanded. - I'm not too sure if this happens in all classes, but I LOVE the fact that "circle time" is done twice a day! Once in the morning (some teachers are anal about this and start on time everyday), and once in the afternoon. - You are given PLENTY of notice about upcoming events, fees or anything extra. - Most importantly for me...learning takes place! My children are happy with KA, and because of that, I'm happy. Are there small annoyances and inconveniences at time, sure, but the developmental and social growth that I've witnessed in my children is invaluable for me. My now 12 year old enjoyed KA's Camp Adventure so much last year that he wants to go again this year. Imagine that, a 12 YEAR OLD! In the words of Ms. Carol, visit KA and make the decision for yourself. Don't allow anyone's subjective view to deter you from making a choice for YOU! I'm glad I did :) We won't be going anywhere anytime soon!

So I asked them please stop doing things not acceptable and to call me if there are any issues and I will work with him, but humiliation will no longer be accepted. Not 5 hours later the assistant to the director, has him in a chair basically facing the corner so I call and say we just had a conversation about the discipline, give me time to work with Sam ( 5 years old ) he starts yelling on the phone that I'm a bad dad and that my son is horrible even though my son has went there his entire life. To make it even worse I called corporate again and tried to speak with Kris's boss Laura Graves, and she said that it will be his last day. Blessing in disguise, I'm glad Sammy told me and he will no longer go through that. Only bright spot of that daycare is Carol Jean, the rest of that daycare has high turnover and no drug testing for the staff. Just please pay attention and talk with your children .

We came from out of state and my husband did extensive research and interviews with the all the schools in the area. He picked Goddard because of the owner/director/assistant director caring attitude and the way they viewed child development. My child has learned so much and most people say she seems older than she is. I think her development accelerated because of the caring staff there and Goddard's curriculum. They both love their teachers and i hope so since they spend over 9-10 hours a day there!! More than they spend with us. They simply care about the kids. Nothing is more important than the first few years of your child's development. We highly recommend Goddard and their high standard and expectation.

Children and teachers were engaged. My granddaughter started in the fall of 2022. The infant room was pleasant, but with each classroom move the center standards on a whole were sending up red flags. The center was dirty, curriculum was no were to be found, children nor parents seemed happy or engaged. Children were engaged in "free play" what appeared to be all day, with little or no equipment in the classrooms. Over many months I visited several times. My daughter, her husband, and myself had met with management in person and on a zoom call. Our concerns were acknowledged and not denied yet little was done to correct. Licensing reports reflected some of our concerns. I have worked in the childcare industry, in management positions, for over 20 years and worked closely with the licensing agencies.

You could tell by the way they invested in them. My daughter thrived in their classroom. Without a doubt i know she is so ready for Kindergarten. If we were not a military family she'd be attending for their kindergarten program. Another perk is the fact they send multiple videos, photos and a daily report which said what your child did, ate ( which they include meals and snacks in their prices) and how they did overall that day. Keep in mind this is a PRIVATE school, which will obviously be more expensive then some run or the mill daycare. I refused to send my daughter to one knowing she'd just play all day with no structure. With Primrose, they have that structure that kids need to learn and thrive. Amazing. Just an amazing school with an even wonderful staff. Keep rocking it Primrose of Reynoldsburg. We miss you!
