Former Parent, I removed my son at the end of the 2016 school year.

The head of the school is only concern with protocol and making sure the tuition is paid on time (which our was on time and before the due date). The teachers are nitpicky, with everything the children do. What they want are mindless robots. My son, witness the continuous mistreatment of a boy with Autism and these incidents were reported and nothing happened. I read another review from a parent, if the parent is not a teacher at the school than your child doesn't have a chance. My son was touched inappropriately by another student (younger) and I reported the incident and it happened again with not action taken by the administrator. Come to find out the problem child was a child of an administrator at the school so, I went to the Canton police and reported it... of course action was finally taken by the school. This wasn't the school for our family.

My son who has a disability and developmental delays did the toddler summer camp program and the staff were more than accommodating, they handled everything amazingly and made us feel very comfortable. Apart from my son's specific needs, the school program was great, there's a lot of learning and and fun happening at the same time. We are not new to the montessori method, but i feel like schoolhouse exceeded our expectations. Teachers and staff are very friendly. We had no issues whatsoever, a very pleasant experience and will likely enroll our kids in the summer program.

We've been part of this childcare center for four years now, and I truly can't say enough wonderful…read morethings about the experience. From the leadership to the teachers, this place has been such a blessing for our family. First, I have to give a huge thank you to Courtney, the director. Since she took over, I have always felt heard, supported, and cared for. She leads with so much heart and compassion. When my mom was going through chemo and I needed extra flexibility with my daughters' schedules, Courtney was there for us without hesitation. She always made it a point to ask how my mom was doing--it meant the world to me. And then there are the teachers, who are truly some of my favorite people. Wendy and Caitlin in the infant room gave my girls the most loving start. Their warmth and care made it so easy to drop off my babies each day knowing they were in the best hands. Ms. Mary and Ms. Jenny always greeted my girls with the biggest smiles and morning hugs--it set such a positive tone for their day. Ms. Kameryn has been a favorite from the very beginning. The way she greets the girls each morning with genuine excitement and joy makes them light up. She's fun, caring, and truly meant to do this work. We've also loved the time we've had with Ms. Carrie and Ms. Rohini--their kindness and care do not go unnoticed. Ms. McKenzie is another favorite! She always makes it a point to say hello to the girls, and it's clear she truly loves what she does. Ms. Saher is so kind and gentle--and my girls adore when she does their hair (she's the best at braids!). Ms. Suzie, who makes the meals, deserves a special mention too. She's often the first one to greet the girls with a warm hug in the morning, and they absolutely adore her. On days when drop-off has been a little rough, she's been right there with a comforting smile and a snack to help turn things around. Mr. Robert is a gem of a human. Watching him interact with kids--especially when they're having tough moments--is nothing short of amazing. He has a gift for connecting with them on their level and helping them feel seen and understood. And finally, our GSRP teachers, Ms. Theresa and Ms. Crystal, have been incredible. My oldest comes home every day excited to share what she's learned and all the fun things they did together. This entire team has made such a lasting impact on our family. The love, patience, and joy they bring to their work every single day shine through in everything they do. We're so grateful to have found a place that truly feels like an extension of our family.

The management of this daycare cares more about the money than the children. We felt helpless that…read moreour concerns cannot go anywhere b/c we're dealing with a big corporate company behind this daycare, and the director never seemed to care about our concerns. 1.Tuition increases every 6 months: Our kid stayed with this place for about 17 months, and they increased tuition 3 times already. 2. This place is following strictly to the sick policy that child must stay home for at least 48 hours! (Note that most of the other daycares and schools only require 24 hour) And they falsely claimed our child was sick many times! We've suggested the director to let the corporate consider changing the policy to 24 hours, and the director told us he wanted to be cautious so he would stay with the rule. And the director refused to bring our suggestion to his leader. We would definitely want our kid to stay home if he is not feeling good or sick, but our kid was forced to be out at least twice a month while he was completely healthy, and this place didn't consider letting us come back based on any of doctor's note or test results. Here comes the worst part - after we gave our two week notice that our kid was leaving the place, the director called us the last Monday of the week and claiming our kid had pink eye, and the rule was to be away from school for at least 24 hour. When I picked up my kid, his eyes were not swollen or not even red. I took my son to the pediatrician immediately, and of course after the examination, the doctor wrote us a note saying our kid had no problem and could return the following day because he was all fine. I'm not sure what game the management was trying to play with us to keep our kid away from school, the director just uses the sick policy at his own advantage so the school can keep the kid count low and have fewer teachers on-site. We didn't feel our kid was welcome to the place since our kid got kicked out so many times while he was completely healthy (and we still paid the full tuition amount every week). 3. Our kid got hurt at this place twice and we didn't get contacted right away: The first incident happened during his first month at this place (when our kid was only 11 month old) we noticed a big bruise on his leg (it looked like someone squeezed his leg too hard while changing diaper) We didn't get any notification about this until we realized the purple bruise when our kid got home. We asked the director about the incident and he had no clue what happened. The 2nd time our kid got a deep scratch between his eyes. This happened because one of the teachers accidentally scratched our kid's face with a broom. This scratch almost went into his eye. We learned about the incident when we picked up our kid the end of the day, not immediately after this happened, and only the teacher apologized to us. When we asked the director about this, his response was "He won't have a scar so don't worry." And he didn't apologize or explain to us what happened. We understand accidents happen, but every time when the director told us to stay away from school for 48 hours because of illness they claimed our kid had, he always called us immediately and was very vocal and firm about following the company's policy, and when our kid got hurt by the teacher, the director did not seem to care. If we didn't reach out to him, he might never speak to us about this. How can the director be so dismissive about the kids' safety but care so much about following sick policy?

This facility is not well equipped to handle neurodivergent or 2e children. If your child has…read moredevelopmental delays or behavior issues, do not attend this school. Like other reviews state, the default solution for misbehavior is sending a student home. For working parents this is not always an option. When we chose this school for our child, we were told that his special needs were something they were able to handle. This was not our experience. Every slight misbehavior was a phone call home and a request to be picked up. This only reinforces the bad behavior and it continues. We provided extensive evaluations of our child from a psychologist and pediatrician and none of their recommendations were taken into consideration by the school or any leadership. As other families have stated, requests for more information about incidents were met with AI generated responses, canned responses, or no response at all. Requests for meetings with leadership went unanswered until I stated that we were seeking legal council. Our child was also unenrolled without warning after stating we had spoken to an attorney, which was clearly retaliatory. Please consider other options for your child

I appreciate that emotion can influence personal bias in reviews, so I will avoid any subjective comments and highlight my objective experience withdrawing from Everbrook and Everbrook's failure to honor its legal obligations. After giving notice of my child's last date at Everbrook, the director offered to accelerate our departure and waive the notice penalty that would otherwise result from withdrawal. We did not accept the offer in favor of continuous care, and so my child could have an opportunity to say goodbye to his friends and teachers in support of his transition. The week before our scheduled last day, my child forgot a stuffed animal in Everbrook at pick-up. To my shock, my access code had been disabled and we were locked out of the building, despite still having another week under contract. What's more egregious - a daycare center unilaterally breaching a legal contract to provide childcare, or preventing a four year old from saying goodbye to the teachers he's been around for 90% of his life? I'm not sure, but it's an interesting decision for an industry that survives on reputation and mitigating liability.

My son is the most precious thing to me in the world and I don't leave him with just anybody and Jade and the staff have proven time and time again that they are there to love and care for the kids. I know that centers are more expensive than in home, but to not have to worry about my sitter canceling or being closed, the kids being unmonitored or my child coming home with multiple bite marks all over his body (this happened... twice) it's well worth the little bit extra a center costs. Also the benefits of being around other children, having music classes and learning social skills is awesome. My child loves it there... it takes 15 minutes to leave because he has to give a hug to every teacher in every classroom. I've recommended several friends here and I'm telling you too, go see them. I'll be there... I'll be the one with the lil guy running from room to room for hugs.

I went and toured the school and it appeared to be a great fit. But "all that glitters is not gold"!! The owner is nice and Admin/front desk people were always pleasant. But teachers were subpar to say the least. They were immature, unprofessional, don't know how to communicate and lacked compassion for the children. I even overheard on more than one occasion, a teacher yelling at the kids when picking up my child. Also, as a whole the school needs to communicate better when things are going on within the school. For example, whether it's announcement for picture day, spirit week, or illness has the potential to be spreading around the school. As parents we are busy heading to work,etc. and may not have the time to stop and read what's on the wall(s) of the school. In cases I mentioned above the school should be sending out emails to parents not just sheets of paper posted around the school. Because by the time a parent may have the time to slow down and read it maybe too late. All in all, this was my experience and believe there are better schools to choose from in the Plymouth-Canton area.
