Our children attended this center for several years, with their final month being July 2025. While…read morethere were positive moments earlier on, ongoing concerns regarding communication, professionalism, and consistency ultimately led us to withdraw. One incident involved our 7-year-old being required to lie down in a toddler classroom during rest time without a blanket or pillow. We were not notified the day this occurred and only learned about it after our child disclosed it. Two teachers later confirmed the situation. When we met with the owner, the concerns about age-appropriateness and lack of same-day communication were not clearly addressed. Communication regarding behavior was inconsistent. In this instance, it was presented at pickup on paper rather than communicated when it occurred. Families also paid a separate summer activity fee in addition to tuition, yet multiple scheduled field trips were canceled due to transportation or other issues. There were also concerns about privacy practices. Prior-year tax documents were taped to the front door and left unattended. After withdrawing our children, I had to follow up to obtain required paperwork. How this was handled ultimately prompted me to write this review. Although our children left in July 2025, the tax document issue reinforced broader concerns about transparency and professionalism. After posting reviews on other platforms, I was contacted privately by an employee. I was later unable to access the business's Facebook page. This review reflects my direct experience. I encourage families to ask detailed questions about communication practices, discipline policies, summer programming, and how confidential documents are handled before enrolling.

She treats minorities like trash. I can only hope that Dr.D or Ms.Gerberding will talk to her and teach her some love. We don't want bad for her but the way she treats parents and student of color - is very painful. On positive note, Ms.Mary Marston did teach me a lesson on how NOT to treat other people. I pray to my lord to change her heart and help her let go of her hatred towards minorities.

Each child was extremely well-prepared for Kindergarten, in fact, our grade school often comments on how happy they are to enroll "Hopemark Kids" because they are well behaved, have excellent skill sets, and are well socialized. It's a family first school... lots of family interactions there, friendships made, after-school time on the playground to further develop parenting bonds. I can't say enough! They do tend to fill their classes each year and have strict teacher-student ratios (which is a good thing!) so register early if you are considering going there. However I heard this year due to lots of interest and classes filling quickly that they might have opened up a larger afternoon program? Not sure, but definitely worth checking out.

I've had several friends find raw meat, hairs, and even one found an acrylic nail in their food. I personally have gotten food poisoning a few times and got sick from raw chicken once. The discipline system needs to be better. So many kids here that just do a lot of mischief and the teachers can't handle it all, I hope they get more support there. I had many issues with the discipline system here that I won't get into, but a lot of the time I didn't feel very loved here. Only a few adults really ever tried to help me become better or help with the situations at hand but it didn't solve the problems either for a very long time or ever. Some good things- the majority of teachers here are very sweet, love to teach, and have great teaching models. They really try to make sure every student is succeeding in their classes and put out good ideas and encourage learning, even though not all students respect that and abuse it. The trips are fantastic, especially the Israel and Class trips, Israel trip personally changed my outlook on life a lot and I loved it. If you're a Christian Scientist they actively put a lot of CS material into the curriculum and everyday life. If you're not a Christian Scientist, might not be so great. They also just built a huge new sports complex that's awesome. But overall, school is okay, doing better. Hopefully the new management can steer it in the right direction.

I have to say, I REALLY wanted this place to work out. I live 5 minutes away, it is literally on…read morethe way home, and the price for a newborn was about $15-$65 cheaper than any other place in the area. Starting with the good, they are open to just about anything for your kids. Cloth diapers, no problem. Wanna visit during the day, come on in. They even teach baby sign language, which to me is just awesome! Security is also a great effort to me, as they have coded locks on the doors that only the parents and employees have access to. Also, I liked the idea of multiple entry points (translated to multiple exit points in case of emergency) and their philosophy of getting the kids outside even just for a few minutes weather permitting, including the newborns. Where this place went wrong was in the lack of communication. My wife and I were all set to enroll our baby here back in February. We asked for an August spot as the baby was not yet born. We were informed there were two babies who could be moved into the toddler room about mid summer, and they had no babies on a wait list. One of the other parents with children already enrolled would be giving birth about the same time as my wife, but with two spots opening, it wouldn't be an issue. They took our information, and REFUSED to take a deposit. I should have known then that things were going to go bad, but they really seemed to have it together and we never questioned it, although we did insist on making a deposit, to which they repeatedly refused with a smile. Fast forward to just about 3 weeks ago, we are getting our ducks in a row and call the daycare to arrange for enrollment. At this point, the toddlers were not quite ready to be moved, but there was another parent falling behind in terms of payment, and they asked for a couple of days to figure out if they would be dropping that parent or moving the others a bit early. We obliged. After about 4 days, my wife called again. This time we were given the news that the owner had taken in two babies and our spot was no longer available. Apparently a woman with a baby and a 18 month old had come in last minute looking for daycare and the owner took them in without regard to the wait list, and effectively gave away both spots that would be available. The third spot, from the parent falling behind would be going to the other mother who already had children enrolled. What a croc!?? I was (and still am) furious over this. My initial reaction was to march up there and demand my child be taken in and the other parent put on the wait list. However, as I sat and considered the possibilities, it became clear to me that my disdain for the owner might result in a very bad experience for my child. Demanding they take him in after our verbal agreement would only result in bad blood, and I don't want my child paying the price for my temper, no matter how inconvenient my other daycare options would be. In all, if you are considering Learning Safari, be warned. Get a guarantee, insist on the deposit, and call regularly until you are enrolled to avoid the kind of crap we had to go through with just weeks to go before my wife had to return to work. Being a new parent is stressful enough without having to deal with inconsiderate owners!
