We also learned that only a minimal amount of the staff were state certified (2). The technology usage for the students was sub par (classroom had only 1 small computer with 30 students)!! We were also very dissatisfied with the lack of structure that was provided in the classrooms! Students were allowed to play constantly which unfortunately, has made it extremely difficult to a student transitioning to another school that does focus on education! The lack of unpreparedness that my child now has is extremely alarming!! Please do your research when looking for a child care center for your child! If you are just looking for a babysitting service, then this may work for you. However, if you are looking for a child care center that will prepare your child for the next level educationally, avoid this place!!

I was led to BHGD by a close friend almost 6 yrs ago. I was a 1st time mom and headed back into the…read moreworkforce a lot sooner than I had originally plan. Honestly, I had no knowledge of any childcare agencies or educational outlets for wee littles, but By His Grace was truly a blessing. Ms. Nikki, the founder and lead educator is the most nurturing individual. She loves what she does. The children have a daily schedule, wholesome meals and plenty of exploratory activities from library and museum visits to pumpkin patches. The curriculum has included literacy, math as well as sports, Spanish and sign language classes. By far, my son is is where he is because of the great foundation BHG daycare planted and nourished. Before graduating and heading to pre-k, he was able to read, count to 100 and recite numerous concepts such as the days of the week, months of the year and planets. In short, strong academics, safe environment, reasonable cost and happy kids, made this one go best decisions for me as parent. Go check them out now!

The staff would tell me my son was bad all day and not get into much detail. As professionals, I thought I would get tips or help on what I should do to help him out and get adjusted. They offered nothing. His classroom was right by an exit to the playground and he would run out and that's the reason why they told me he couldn't attend any more, as well as his aggression towards other kids. If he's running out the door, isn't that a problem on the staff's behalf? For people who deal with kids, I figured they would know kids could be aggressive at times, especially a 2 year old. How do they not know how to deal with that? Because of his behavioral issues I suspected they were mistreating him. He stopped napping and he loves naps. As a result, I would pop up at random times and he was always in a high chair. I believe they had him there for extensive amounts of time. He was isolated from his class and unoccupied. I will be reporting them to who ever I need to.

The school is run by a principal who lives in the neighborhood and who has children at the school,…read moreteachers that live in the neighborhood and have children at the school. The children who attend the school are from people who never left the neighborhood. If your child or you yourself are not from the neighborhood and do not drink the kool-aid you and your children will be treated poorly and graded poorly. The school does not encourage diversity, the staff is not diversified. The staff is comprised of mostly people from the area. Many parents are entitled police and fireman with the gangsta in a uniform mentality, which in turn the children mimic. This in turn makes the school environment hostile for children, who are learning intolerance for people different than them. Instead of being sensitive and aware of the problem, the leadership is more concerned about their hyper inflated ego and the fact responses are to conflict are threatening to you and your child's education. The best one I heard was "I am responsible for the largest school in the Archdiocese" and I personally, and I..I..I. No addressing situations that cause concern for your child. Just I..I..I. There are a few great teachers who do not deserve this review. There are others that I question their mental fitness to work with our youth. In one instance I questioned a grade for my child who loves school, and my child was torn down, made accusations against, and our family was torn down with my child. All for noticing a grading discrepancy. Don't expect anything less than South Side drama here.

Management has changed recently, and the front office seems to be running more smoothly now (although I wasn't unhappy before). Teacher turnover is probably typical for daycare centers. My children's teachers have changed a few times in the last year. But I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing, since they will have numerous different teachers once they start elementary school. If I had one complaint it would be location. I like that they aren't located right on a busy road, but there is an auto repair center right next door, which creates some environmental/air quality concerns. Overall I would recommend the facility.
