Brooksedge Day Care Center

Brooksedge Day Care Center

We were charged a registration fee $100, full field trip fee $375. During the second or third week…read morethe place got infested with lice... When I asked for a two week off to keep from the spread I was told I still had to pay. Also, when I chose to pull her out of daycare due to the infestation going on I was denied a field trip reimbursement. I will not be recommending this daycare in the future.

We started our first daughter at Brooksedge at 4 months old, after visiting several different…read moredaycares. She started in the youngest room and moved up to the next room just before we moved to Montreal, QC. After 3 1/2 years in Canada, we returned to Columbus and I contacted Brooksedge again - as well as reviewed several other locations again, in order to see how Brooksedge compared now to other daycares in the area. This time we were looking at taking two girls to the center, a 2yo and a 4yo. I was excited to hear that the center's Director, Amy, was still in charge. She is there nearly everyday when I arrive to drop the girls off and many days when I'm leaving too! The kids all seem to know her and she is obviously very involved in the daily routines. Their pricing includes a morning snack/breakfast around 8:00/8:30AM, lunch, and afternoon snack. For the littler ones, the tuition also includes wipes! I visited a Goddard School nearby and was shocked that their standard tuition didn't include lunch - I would've been packing one for each kid everyday, but paying the same price as Brooksedge. The center is tucked in-between a small strip of shops and a residential neighborhood. I don't think the exterior is incredibly impressive, but the interior is fantastic! The classrooms are open and colorful. They have floor to ceiling windows in most rooms to let in lots of light, and they cover them with curtains at naptime. The back hallway of the center is painted with a beautiful ocean mural. Everything is always clean, but without feeling sterile. I'm finding that the girls are trying and loving new foods, improving their writing and communication skills and having a LOT of fun. Honestly, I don't think they'd have as much fun if they were home with me all day! I always said that I wanted to find a place that was what I would do if I started a daycare and they've exceeded all of my expectations both times our kids have been enrolled. In fact, I'm learning from them too! They're a true partner in raising our kids. I don't worry that I'm away from my girls while I work. Brooksedge is doing a great job teaching them other valuable lessons during their time away from me about peer socialization, respect and trust in other adults as authority figures, and independence. Also, I find that our girls try new things (like new food) that they wouldn't try with me. Some mornings when I drop them off, the oldest tells me to "hurry up and go to work" because they are busy at "school" now. Many of the teachers have been with the school for several years - we saw some familiar faces when we returned. The teachers are fantastic! And let's be honest, they've assisted in raising a LOT more children then I'll ever raise on my own. They have some great tips for common challenges at each age level and by partnering with them, I'm learning to be a more efficient and effective parent. Parents pay a staggering amount for daycare, but with a center this great, I feel like I should be paying more.

Dan is racistracist. I should have left my review a long time ago. In 2016 I came back to work for…read moreDan and Tamara Marinescu. I was 7 months pregnant. IMy boyfriend is epileptic. I asked Dan and Tamara if he would be able to work with us too because I didn't want him to be alone at home. They agreed. We did all the steps and got him hired onon as a cook/cleaner. But he did everything the teachers asked and more. I was an infant teacher. In 2017, my son was moved to the toddler room. From April-September. It was very stressful because there were some very questionable teachers that would get hired on. i decided to quit in Sept 2017 because I wasn't being paid enough to watch, teach, do arts and crafts, and a ton of paperwork. My boyfriend quit with me. Dan immediately messaged me, and my boyfriend. Called me the B word and my boyfriend a Spic. (He is Hispanic) he said a lot of very horrible things to us because we no longer wanted to work for him. There were multiple times Dan and Tamara came to work arguingarguing, and they prioritised their children over any of their students. I would never recommend this place. They did not follow state laws all the time. They didn't make their teachers clean and sanitize the rooms every night. They cuss in front of children. They would give their kids candy and toys in front of other kids. Their kids could leave their class at any time and sit with the grandmother in the kitchen. It was very unfair to the other kids. It's a very stressful environment.

I would be very concerned with sending my child here if the proprietor Dan is involved in any…read morecapacity with this establishment. It is rumored (I was told, not personally verified) that he likes to partake in the enjoyment of several substances that could alter his judgement. If this business is under consideration, I would find out if he is still there. If he is, I would ask for a test to prove care under his supervision is safe. Just some friendly advice.
