Upon asking for a meeting with the head of school, she refused, as I had not spoken with all of her subordinates first, even though I was paying almost $1000 per month for a glorified daycare. They spent most of their day outside, even in the hottest hours of the sun... in the dead of summer. I was highly disappointed with CBMS. They lack in diversity, and it is evident. I even wondered, at times, if race played a part in the "issues" they had with my two year olds behavior. They are not equipped to deal with any kind of transitional period for toddlers. I began getting calls to pick up my toddler two days after school began because he was crying at nap time, even though, Tracy told me that they were amazing with the kids and helping them transition. They were very supportive of my son having a bottle at nap time, and even said that they are willing to rock kids in the rocking chair, if a child is having a hard time at nap time. Then, once I paid the $800 non refundable registration fee and the contract, Tracy told me that rocking and bottles are not aligned with the Montessori way of creating independence. I would have appreciated it more, if they told me that when I was touring their facility, instead of trying to sell me on the dream, just to get the money. One of the "issues" was that my two year old would tap the teacher on the shoulder when he wanted her attention.... again, he's two. Their expectations are unrealistic. My child is not a robot, and he is an amazing kid because of that. CBMS is just not cut out for anyone who wants a positive, encouraging environment for their child. They don't even believe in saying "good job" or "wow! That was great! I'm proud of you" to kids. I wish I had been warned about them, prior to paying so much to receive so little. We left before this point, but beware- at the 6 week mark, they can dismiss your child if you don't align with ALL of their beliefs and if your child hasn't adjusted to the Montessori way (which is apparently playing by themselves and napping on their own with no transitions). Positive: The afternoon teacher, Bailey, was amazing! We loved her and her positive attitude and outlook. She always had a smile on her face, and the kids respond very well to her positive energy!

I've never done an online review like this but my experience with Discovery Point and their staff…read morewarrants it. I'm a new mom and when my daycare plans fell through while on maternity leave we were in a crunch trying to find a new place; one we felt our baby would be safe at and provided for while we were working. A friend recommended Discovery Point, she had used them for her two children and loved it. I knew immediately that was where I wanted to go. They're so sought after they had a waiting list but I went by anyway to check it out and immediately had that mom gut feeling that this was where I wanted my baby. The infant room is clean and organized, its not cluttered, it has age appropriate toys and not too many; how many toys do that age children really need? The infant room staff have been there for a long time and they made me feel comfortable as soon as I walked in. They offered to let me come by and sit in the room with my baby so she wouldn't be dropped off in a new place for the first time by herself, and this was before we even got called with a spot! At one point we felt like we needed to be at a daycare center closer to our jobs but we couldn't find anything that gave us a feeling of security like Discovery Point. We never left and I'm so glad. They made this first time mom feel comfortable about going back to work. I literally cried when I thought we'd have to leave and weren't finding anything like Discovery Point. They set the bar so high. My baby smiles and enjoys being there everyday and if we can't be there to take care of her Discovery Point is the next best thing (don't tell grandma!) I would recommend them to anyone looking for a safe, loving environment for their child.

We moved our child from another daycare to Stonebridge because it was a new facility. Big mistake…read more Despite new toys and lots of them they miss the mark when caring for your child. The staff is not equipped to care for children that aren't the equivalent of lettuces eating rabbits. I've seen care providers screaming at the children, kids being allowed to jump from bookcases and chairs into the floor, and children being allowed to walk around the room with their pants and underwear pulled down. All while the teacher ignored them. If I could see what was going on. Then believe me they could too. The straw that broke the camels back was when they tried to send me out one Friday evening with someone else's child. As if I did know who my child was... Argued with me about it and told me there were no other children at the facility other than the ones I saw. Right before calling the police they remembered there was one other child in a back room by them self with a teacher. My heart sank when my child couldn't be found and no one seemed as concerned as I was at the time. That is an experience that no child's parent should ever have to go through. Even for one second. Stonebridge is a case of all that glitters is not gold and they have let down both my child and my family.

I was able to get a nice workout in while he practiced and I loved that it wasn't super crowded. Yeah, it was a Friday so maybe that had something to do with it. The gym, or wellness center as it's known here, has plenty of cardio and weightlifting equipment, and there's several classrooms for group fitness classes and a room for cycling. It's safe to say that being s memeber here has its benefits. The staff are awesome and are readily available to answer any questions you may have. Everyone I've come in contact with has been friendly and the people that work here seem to really enjoy what they do. There's also a play center for kids to go to while you workout so there's no excuse to get moving! The space is clean and big enough to where you don't feel suffocated by others in the gym. They also have a fancy pool if you feel like practicing your butterfly. Need a place to workout???? Come to the YMCA!

And they will push you out if you're already in the gym. Not a professional way to handle things here.

Our family had a horrible experience at La Petite Academy of Tyrone!!! The staff exemplified…read moreincompetence...our child was in the Early Pre-School class with Meesha, who lacked classroom management training, but mastered lying. When addressing issues we witnessed on the cameras she would lie and deny and run to Julia (Asst. Director) who is also her roommate and they would deny and cover for each other. In the meantime, we constantly asked when a teaching module would be put in place and were constantly told by the director, Dakesha that the first month was for observation...he was there from August until July of this year and we received not one formal evaluation of any sort. Once during a meeting with them we were given an print out of another child's evaluation. Often told that so many things were against the law...giving another child's information should definitely be against the law. There are far too many incidents to name here, but one in particular where a student that threw chairs and furniture every day hit our child in the face with a basket with metal rods and Meesha failed to write an incident report...another day she claimed a shelf fell on him...no incident report written (Where and why would shelves fall in a daycare setting?) One day while taking lunch to our child, he was met outside because they were having a fire drill and he was with Dakesha only to be told that there was an "incident" but he was okay. No incident report written. There was an intervention meeting held and even after an intervention it was determined that she needed more training... the final straw was two weeks ago. A new man was placed in a classroom being trained under Meesha who still needs to be trained and when we had questions about his nervous energy and observing him we were told that we made him nervous vs. the acknowledgement of requesting that he not be left with our child without another teacher present...he was seen on camera grabbing him...when the whole year no one has grabbed him, as is their policy and should not happen. We were also told that they cannot "make" students do anything...so grabbing him should never have happened. These folks tried to make us feel as if what was seen on camera didn't happen. Every time we observed and brought anything to their attention....it didn't matter. The game is lie and deny. A full year of paying $285 weekly for him to learn how to jump on furniture, become aggressive, and taught NOTHING. If we were not working with him at home he would know nothing. We basically paid for him to have untrained babysitters. So, if you just want babysitters La Petite of Tyrone is the place to go. THE CAMERAS DO NOT MATTER. THEY WILL LIE AND DENY ANYTHING YOU QUESTION. If you want a structured, safe environment with competent staff...run far away! Oh we stopped by to get his records, and were told, there is NOTHING in his files...exactly! He was never taught nor evaluated all year long. There is soooooooo much more I can write, but I will digress.
