My granddaughter has attended Cedars for nearly one year. It has been a very positive experience…read more She has learned so much and she loves her teachers Zahra, Morgan, and Mariah. The facility is clean, offers age appropriate activities, and the staff is friendly. We loved the brunch for Mother's Day and the Luau for Father's Day. We also enjoy dressing up for spirit days. She recently moved to the toddler's class. The classroom is inviting and her new teachers seem very nice. The app is interactive and keeps families abreast of daily activities. I highly recommend Cedars!

I was going to wait to write this review because my daughter still attends, but I am highly annoyed…read moreat this school. After 6 months, I am very close to removing my child! I cannot say this school is all bad, because my daughter wouldn't be here. I like her teacher Ms. Jewels and the other teachers in her class. They try to make the most out of their limited resources. I also love Ms. Jordan at the front desk. She goes out of her way daily to make my daughter feel special. From stickers to compliments, my daughter loves her! One of my first and main issues is with the head of administration. I homeschooled my child until she was almost 3. Because of that, Ms. T and I discussed my daughter staying in the two-year-old class until her 3rd birthday in October. She told me there will be room for my child in the regular 3-year-old classroom. The last time we discussed this was a month before my daughter's birthday, and once she turned 3, the classes were full. She then told me my child can go into the 3-year-old classroom that has kids who need additional assistance, because she doesn't think my daughter is ready for the regular PreK3. Because she's only over the admin, in my opinion, she's not qualified to tell me what my daughter is ready for... especially since the person over education and her current teacher said they recommend my child go to PreK3. They really allow this woman to make recommendations for children when she doesn't work directly with them. In addition, she has a terrible attitude. She will speak to you depending on her mood, and that's not the best attitude to have when working around children. I often ask myself if I am over exaggerating, but my neighbor didn't choose this Cedars because she felt the staff had an attitude problem when she called for the first time. Another major issue I had at this school was when they allowed a part-time teacher conduct an assessment on my child. The assessment was so bad that I couldn't sleep that night. They said my child doesn't know simple concepts, such as in or out, she can't draw a straight line, etc. That day, I took my child home and recorded her doing everything the assessment said she couldn't do. If anyone needed to conduct an assessment, it should've been her lead teacher. Her lead teacher was surprised by the assessment. She said she never questioned my child's ability because she knew everyone's name in the class by the 2nd week of school, recognized and spelled her name, etc. After they viewed my videos, the school's education advisor assessed my daughter. She told me I was right. My daughter can do "All the things!" These are a few examples of how they have unqualified people doing unqualified things. If my child didn't have present parents who speak up for her, they would've put a label on her and moved on to the next child. You would think people in this position know the difference between a child who actually doesn't know things and one who's still coming out of their shell because they went from one-on-one learning to 20 students and 2 teachers. Another thing I have to mention is that last week the flu was going around. I was told they were going to put up signs, but they didn't have ink. Apparently, they didn't think to email everyone. I've watched this school wait until 3pm to call parents about a sick child. At that point, everyone could make contact with the sick person. I could really continue, but I have said enough. Ultimately, the issue falls on the school's director. Everything reflects poor leadership. I have come to her numerous times, and she basically tells me what she thinks I want to hear without taking any action behind her words. I will not fault the Cedars brand because I am still open to other locations, but the McDonough location needs some changes, fast!

This daycare started good and slowly turned into a nightmare! They are negligent in some…read moreclassrooms, I'm not sure the people they hire are even credible. Workers come to work with dog hair on them, you never see anyone wash their hands, you dropped your kid off in one person or two people's care but while your gone someone else you never met will be taking care of your child. They pull teachers from the other building. Blame everything on being short staffed or the parent or the child, accountability is definitely lacking. While there are select few who actually care it's definitely not enough to leave your child here trust me! The prices don't even make sense you're basically paying for full time services even if you need part time. There's literally nobody to advocate for you if anything happens such as incidents or mishandling paperwork or payments. You want your child to attend a place they are happy to be tour and just get a feel for the kids personalities you can tell the worst part of their day is attending this place. If you're looking for any type of interactive learning here you won't find it. If you're looking for someone to actually pay attention to your child or build some type of bond with them you won't find it here. It is truly scary this establishment hasn't been looked into for several things actually.

Didn't hear back once I replied to requesting/inquiring about services. That was pretty much it.read more

This post has to be one that I share with the Henry County (McDonough) Georgia community in search…read moreof a clean, beautiful, Early Learning Center. This facility screams quality care from the time you enter and leave. The owners are two men, who would've thought. it's almost like Daddy Daycare. Those gentlemen have really set a standard for Early Learning Childcare facilities. The center has it all it is beautifully and intentionally designed for Early Learning. The owners gave me a tour and not only did the place look beautiful it smelled just as nice as it looked and they were just as nice. They took time with me and walked me through the entire process of how they educate the whole child. I've had July children in their care now for a little over 6 months and I absolutely DO NOT know how I am going to cope when my girls have to transition to Kindergarten. They use to provide me with daily updates but now that my girls are in their Pre-k program I get monthly progress reports and weekly updates. I pray they have plans to implement a Kindergarten program. All I can say is if you are looking for quality care and education this is the best I've experienced since my girls have been attending daycare!
