Do NOT bring your kids here! As others have mentioned, the owner/director is horrible and the kids learn next to nothing.

Great place fun and educational environment. Wonderful staff. Very clean and professional.

Please do not sign your child up for the VPK program at Our House with the hopes of him/her learning anything. There is no curriculum whatsoever. The lessons revolve around whatever holiday is coming up and learning to sing new songs. (Your child will however, come home singing the words to Rack City Chick-google the lyrics). The teacher is way past retirement age and will offer you no insight as to how your child is doing. There are no daily or even weekly progress charts. (If your child acts up don't expect to find out. My son had a horrendous tantrum that we didn't find out about for well over a week.) If you attempt to engage in conversation with above said teacher BEWARE!! You'll find out nothing about your own child but walk away with the entire Jerry Springer background of the teacher (babysitter? Yes, I feel babysitter is more appropriate a term). The owner/director is AWFUL! She is fake and condescending and will absolutely not listen to parent wishes. She comes across as being in it for the money and that's it. Steer clear of this "school"! If you can keep your child at home then definitely do it! I wish I didn't have to work. My son has learned nothing from this program. Just by setting aside 20 minutes after work a few times a week he's learned more than he has all year at Our House. read more

The quality of childcare, ability and devotion of the teachers and the facility itself are all terrific. HOWEVER, the reason we left was primarily due to the owner. You can judge for yourself, but our story is that my husband got laid off, and I explained it to the owner. His layoff did not include any severance pay, so we needed to stop childcare ASAP. I explained that to the owner Cindy, and told her I would make due on the 2-week withdrawal policy. I told her this on a Tuesday, so I paid for that week and the following week. She then charged me for the Monday, AND took back the vacation coupons we used a few months prior - which was like 2 days. She charged a late fee. Then when I asked what if my husband syould be fortunate enough to get a job quickly would she honor the $75 registration fee we had just paid in May, and the answer was no. I was floored. Both my son and daughter had gone to the school. We paid tuition on time, and if I missed the payment due date, I did pay the late fee. Both of my kids were adored by the staff, good students, and I recommended the place to everyone I met. I was really crushed at being treated that way. I mean it's a small town, and the benefit of having us return seemed to outweigh that small about of extra charges. I was really upset also because we were caught off-guard with the layoff, and despite my part-time job, we knew our funds would be gone very quickly. BUT, after looking around at other places, I would say the facility is really one of the nicest in this area, but I have found there are other great places, with professional, loving staff that are cheaper and less cut-throat. Even several teachers there over time told me how mean the owner was, but until I was on the receiving end I guess I did't realize. Proceed at your own risk. read more
