On August 14th 2024, my child was assaulted by one of the teachers at Everbrook Academy Terez…read moreEstrada. I witnessed this take place via the SproutAbout app live camera. My child was asleep on her cot when Terez Estrada walked over to her, kicking the cot several times, then lifting it with her foot, causing my child to jump out of her sleep scared. The cot nearly rolled over. About 5 minutes later I watched my child walk up to Terez Estrada pointing to the bathroom signaling that she had to potty. Terez Estarda never once looked down at my child to give her the attention. As all of this was taking place I left work early, rushing through traffic to make my way to Everbrook Academy. On the drive there, I continued to watch the live cameras and and repeatedly witnessed Terez Estrada mistreat and neglect my child. While the children were being lined up to go outside, Terez Estrada forced my child to stay inside while all of the other children went outside. During snack time, Terez Estrada literally poured my child's snack on the bare table while giving the other kids a bowl to eat out of. Once I arrived at Everbrook Academy, I immediately spoke with the principal, Sydney Richardson, and told her everything that I had witnessed. The next day, I received a phone call from the Director of Everbrook Academy, Barb. She told me that she would view the tapes and then would give me a call back to set up a meeting to discuss the incident. It is now October and I haven't heard anything from Barb. This incident has definitely been swept up under the rug while Terez Estrada still remains an active employee at Everbrook Academy. This was one of my biggest fears about placing my child in daycare and to witness this all happen is heartbreaking.

We feel like together with this staff we're able to give my toddler the tools needed to reach full potential. It is truly a team effort.

We couldn't be more thrilled!…read more After moving our child from another center to The Gardner School we haven't looked back! Since the transition to The Gardner School we now know what quality care is and what was lacking previously. Our child has shown marked improvement in so many areas that we could not have asked for a better outcome. The teachers and staff at this location are wonderful and a true delight in the mornings and afternoons during drop-off and pick-up. We are always kept well informed and updated about our child throughout the day with an extremely convenient app. The teachers here are also very well educated and treat this as a career and not just a babysitting job, which is truly a comfort when you are entrusting them with the most valuable and treasured people in your lives. I would highly recommend this school to anyone! You won't regret your choice.

They have new teachers and they are caring and you can tell they want only whats best for your baby. I have had my children in other centers and can honestly say, I have never felt like this before. I would recommend this center for baby all the way to preschool. Also, Heidi the director/owner is very very nice and totally understanding and she is always there. Which is not common in many centers. Come by and take a look at their new remodel, you wont be disappointed.

I do NOT recommend New Horizon. I took my complaint to corporate immediately along with plenty of…read moredocumentation and proof and absolutely nothing was done about it. Then after going to corporate, I talked to my local director who was the suspect/subject in my complaint and she immediately kicked my kid out of the daycare due to her own actions that I was complaining about. This is called retribution for filing a complaint. It's very illegal. I would gladly remove my review if corporate would accept to admit some fault or cover my damages. Corporate has tried to gaslight me and act like there isn't or wasn't an issue. They are fully aware of what happened.

My son has been a student here for about a month now. They are very attentive to both my son and the parents. Communication is fabulous. We get frequent emails and the teachers talk to me all the time. The director checks in too, asking if I have concerns, how the adjustment is going, etc. my son has already learned so much and he looks forward to going to school every day. He does five half days and he ends up missing the afternoon craft. The teacher overheard him telling me he didn't have the art work from the previous day hanging on the wall, and she said she'd do the craft with him the next morning. I figured although she meant well, there was no way she'd have time to do a one in one craft with my son. Amazingly, she did! My son was so happy and I am beyond impressed with her dedication to making sure my son felt included. I can't say enough. My son loves the food, he gets plenty of play time and lots of education. He's happy and so am I.

Where do I start with the most stressful 5 or 6 weeks dealing with this mess. From emails the…read moredirector thought she sent me about payments to the Vice President giving no care in the world about me or my concerns. I was told 1 day before I go on vacation that I am being charged an extra day from previous weeks because apparently my first week I didn't get a schedule in when I knew nothing about this place and that schedules needed to be in on a certain day. I was charged for 4 days the week of the 4 Of July---in which the 4th is paid by the family even though they are closed, The director tells me she thought I meant I would be bringing my daughter in Tuesday thru Thursday...wait that sounds like 3 days including the 4th which fell on a Wednesday where did you get 4?! When We in fact agreed on a 3 day flexible schedule. So I get told the payment hasn't processed go in and pay the adjusted amount(which was still too much if I'm getting a 10% corporate discount) (let's not forget they run a 25% off promo that they don't keep track of after the 4 weeks and make you pay back what they charged you...because they were keeping track) and guess what...I'm DOUBLE CHARGED they never took off the amount I paid first and I get told by the Vice President pretty much that it's my fault and there's nothing they can do...except take my money(She didn't straight out say that but that is what I got from the conversation we had which was awkward and pointless because we got no where and nothing was settled or handled). They took it upon themselves to credit my account for my daughters last week and states I will get refunded the small amount left over per the Vice President lady. It's been almost a week and I have yet to be refunded, so I follow up and ask where's my refund...the director tells me "soon I'll get it".UM WHAT IS SOON?!! IT SOUNDS LIKE NEVER!!! This was my first encounter with a daycare facility and last we took my daughter out immediately. This had to have been the most unorganized, unprofessional, EXPENSIVE EXPERIENCE I have ever dealt with.
