We have 2 children at Great Expectations and love it! The teachers are very kind and our kiddos are learning SO much. They come home with daily reports (how their day was) and almost always a crafty item that they made. They even have Angel Trees for those less fortunate. I researched area childcares with the State and they are the best - Star 4! read more

I rarely post anything but I feel people need to be informed. If you have a child with a special need or disability please do not sent them to Great Expectations Childcare and Learning certain. They do not understand that a child with special needs has rights. They are unwilling to communicate with the therapists in their facilities which they are required to do by law.. They have been reported for their discriminating practices. When a child has an IEP team, Behaviorial Specialist and a TSS available to help you and you choose not to communicate with them something is just not right and suspicious. The child has a TSS right there with him to help you, but no one is communicating with as well as an IEP team and a Behavioral specialist who no one was contacting. As an example the director Madelyn leaves a voice mail that calls a 3 year old with special needs "violent" and lied about an incident that was happening in the facility as well as saying we don't tolerate this behavior. So much for positive interaction. But then after speaking with the child's TSS who was with him at the time come to find out the incident was extremely exaggerated just so they could just get rid of him. If a child is not able to communicate like other kids you need to take time to find out what caused a behavior not just send him home. Which by the way is not to happen when a child has an IEP. Another lie prior to leaving we asked about the summer availability and were told by Administrators that they were going to be short staffed and had no availability but then on facebook Great Expectations is advertising that they do have availability, again discriminating against a child with a disability. I just want people who don't have the "ideal" child to be aware of how a special needs child is viewed by Great Expectations. read more
