Awful school- lots of turn over, generation of our family and friends brought their children here…read morebut it has been purchased by a a corporation now. Way too many constant changes, we will be taking our child out.

We needed to put our son in daycare when I went back to work post-Covid, in August of 2021. In the…read moreyear and half we were enrolled at the school, they upped tuition twice. These were not small increases either, we are talking $100-200 per month. We were semi-ok with this at first because we just had one child at the school. Having a new baby and wanting to put him into the daycare with his older brother, the new prices were simply too much - almost double a mortgage payment! Comped with other daycares in the area, Parker Chase was almost $900 more than a local/private daycare right down the road! They offer no flexibility when it comes to tuition, despite there being highly accredited competition that is cheaper in the area. Because it is owned by a corporation (Endeavor Schools), the staff is unable to do anything about it, and all decisions run through corporate. Endeavor is a business, and trust me, they treat it as such, and money is the name of the game. It is truly sad that a company that is built on caring about young children operates this way. Although the tuition is very hefty, it is not reflected in the teachers' pay, as many of them work 2nd jobs to make ends meet. I guess the execs at corporate get a big portion of tuition rather than using it to retain teachers and staff. Which bring me to another issue with this school - the turnover! This school was once touted for its teacher and staff tenure, and in the past few months, many teachers that had worked there for years left. My son's class was without a lead teacher more than once in the year and a half we were there. Communication is not a strong suit here, and unfortunately, I had to find out about this from either another teacher or another parent. For the amount we paid for our child to go here, you would think a simple email or announcement could be made regarding who is caring for and looking after our son. Overall, the building is nice - glass windows in all the classes, a nice outside playground. The place continually seemed understaffed, and the teachers seemed overwhelmed. All the teachers my son had were caring and sweet, I just wish they were paid better considering all of the money the parents pay to put their children there. With the most recent tuition increase, many families left to find alternate childcare. I know the staff had concerns that even the waitlisted families wouldn't want to pay the newly inflated prices ($2000/month for an infant!!). It's a real shame that corporate backed a lot of families with young children into a corner as most daycares have waitlists, especially for two kids. Not to mention the fact that it is very disruptive for a little kid to have to switch schools and have to start over again with new teachers, children, and a new environment. My best advice- look elsewhere. Many of the parents in my son's class agreed that in the last year it has gone downhill, unsure if it's management, corporate or what. Privately owned childcare facilities seem to be the way to go - they truly care about the families and want the best for your kids. The executives at Endeavor seem to care about themselves, not the children, families or teachers that grow the business. One more thing to note - if you have to turn left out of the parking lot onto Johnson Ferry after dropping off or getting your child, be prepared to sit and wait for ten minutes or risk your lives trying to cut across several lanes of traffic. There is no stoplight at this intersection even though they are in dire need of one.
