I want to start off by recognizing that Goddard Chamblee has some amazing people on staff. I want…read moreto thank those people for doing their best to give my child a good experience. After ~2 years, I would say that I have been satisfied with my experience about 50% of the time enrolled and I am exploring new options for my children. Reasoning follows: 1. Staffing: constant turnover and short staffing lead inadequate teacher:child ratios. You will end up dropping off/picking up your child from different rooms and different faces frequently. Administration will not communicate staffing changes and deceptively leave up pictures of former staff on classroom boards. 2. Cleanliness: the 1-2 year old classroom has glue coming through the floorboards. It has been 6 months since first reported with no remedy. Do you want your kids crawling on this floor? (See picture). If you open the refrigerators or look in drawers or cabinets, you will be disgusted. Too many of the toys and books in the rooms are in very poor condition. 3. Learning Environment: It is difficult to provide a consistently rich learning environment when constantly short staffed and rotating through new faces. 4. Owner: She is rarely present except for when she is asking you for more money for one of her charitable tax write off initiatives.

In February of this year, my son was enrolled in a different school. During his first week, he got…read moresick, and truly never got better. After two months attending, we found out his hearing was temporarily affected from the fluid in his ears and he was scheduled for tubes surgery. Unfortunately because of the sickness, he only spent two full weeks in school out of the two months period. Before the tubes were even put into place, my son was kicked out of the school with teachers claiming he was possibly autistic and more than they could handle. I came to Goddard Chamblee with paperwork in hand that the previous school handed me with my tail tucked between my legs also terrified that they would agree and turn my son away. After a quick discussion and a glance at the paperwork, they agreed that no child should ever be left behind and that the previous school didn't even give my son a chance. My son has now been enrolled at Goddard Chamblee for two months and has hit more milestones and thriving more than he ever has anywhere else. The teachers are so loving, nurturing, and patient. They work with my son to ensure he's truly a part of the class and I can tell they genuinely care about him. Words cannot express how thankful I am for Goddard Chamblee. And special shoutout to Ms. Wendy who truly makes his classroom seem like home.

Trim, the owner, is extremely professional and highly responsive. I was able to schedule this same day cleaning with ease. The team wore a mask which was also great to see. Backstory: The brand new carpet was ruined the day we moved in when movers trekked a dirty dolly up the staircase. This (along with general usage) bothered me for years, until I just had to do something about it. Now a huge burden has been lifted as all of the carpets in my home are like new! Woo-hoo! I am SO HAPPY with the work, and HIGHLY recommend them. I only wish that I had taken "before" pictures to show you a comparison of the photos below! We plan to not only use them again, but to also recommend them to everyone we know. Book with Powerful Carpet Cleaning; you won't be disappointed.

My dress was way too big when I first brought it in, but they tailored it perfectly, added straps, and even included padding inside. It fit so much better after their work. The store itself smelled really nice and was very clean, which I appreciated. The whole process took about two weeks, and I believe I paid close to $300--though I'm not exactly sure. The only downside is that there always seems to be people begging for money outside the store and around the plaza. It didn't affect the service, but it did make me feel a little uncomfortable coming and going. Overall, I'd still recommend Rose's for alterations--they did a great job on something really important to me!

It's difficult to pick my favorite thing about this store: 1) the outstanding quality of the…read moredonated goods 2) the friendly neighborhood vibe 3) the helpful, resourceful staff. I started a new job this year, after years of working from home, my office wardrobe needed a serious refresh, but with the inflation of clothing prices I had to rely on buying second-hand. Once you are a Woman of a Certain Age, you can't get away with cheap and cheerful, plus, quality is better constructed, so the fit and wear is better. Second Life was an essential to me: I found Cole Hahn and AVL leather flats (almost unworn), numerous silk blouses (Marchesa Voyage, Annie Griffin), two silk skirts (one bespoke, the other from Anthropologie), dresses, jackets, a string of cultured pearls, Chicos and Eileen Fisher trousers - oh, and my last trip there, I actually scanned the books, and the selection is equally good there. Prices are higher than your average thrift, but, as you can see, so is the merchandise. It's always fair, and they run sales on the regular. I've been inspired to start putting aside some of my almost unworn or lightly worn clothes so that I can contribute to this community treasure, and keep the cycle going. This shop reminds me of everything I love about Avondale Estates / Decatur / Scottsdale / Clarkston.

I wrote 3 stars bc sadly the place doesn't have any place to try on clothes anymore. You can technically return your clothes but for me I don't really buy clothing without checking the fit first.

My daughter is adopted and we literally had no time to plan for daycare. We got a call on a Monday…read morethat she was being born that night. Most places in Atlanta have LONG wait lists. I was told everywhere from 9 months to 1.5 years. Because we didn't have 7-9 months to plan for a baby coming, our options were limited. My daughter started going here when she was 7 weeks old and she went until she was 11 months when we moved to NYC. The teachers were really great and my daughter seemed to really like it and didn't seem adverse to going. We stayed in NY for a year and when we got back, we enrolled her again. She loves her teachers. She talks about them all the time. The people who work here seem to really care about the kids. I also like the fact that everyone who works there knows the kids names even if they aren't in that class (pre k teachers knowing 2 year olds). The place is really clean and that's also important. The price is also fairly economical (compared to a lot of other places I had talked to) which helps. They only seem to have waiting lists for Pre K, but for infants and toddlers, they have an extra room so if they need to open it up to fix the teacher/student ratio they do.

Here they had no wait and the boys were able to start at a moments notice. The staff goes out of their way to help me bring the boys into the building in the morning and out to the car again when I pick them up. With the cold weather it's been so helpful and I appreciate them greatly. Not sure how many places would do that. The daycare thing is pretty new to us and leaving the boys for the first time was a bit nerve racking but now I know, with no doubt, that they are at one of the best Centers in town.

They teach people "how to fish" (self reliance) so they can have long term success. I volunteer every so often, yet in reality I am the one who is always grateful to be able to learn on house build days from the house leaders on "how to"... painting being my favorite as I go into a meditative state when doing detailed work. Not interested in construction or physical labor... no problem. I like to volunteer/ have my hands on many different things myself, and this place can offer that. If you like sales or cleaning volunteer at the warehouse. You like photography? Sign up for house dedication. On weekdays want to help doing office work or help on weekends signing up folks into their home ownership required classes? Love finance, numbers or plain teaching? Sign up. I myself can't pass over an opportunity to help others budget their desired long term lifestyle! lol Habitat for humanity is truly a brilliant non profit organization with well established "ideals".

I would of bought several things at these stores but I looked up the prices on line and I could get them cheaper in the store. The Albany store seems so over priced on a lot of there items. Take for instance I picked up a metal cover plate for an electrical box and the original price tag on the package was $1.50 they were asking $1.00 and they got it for nothing. I saw an oak desk in there they had a price of $250 for it.
