The class ratios are among the highest I have experienced in early childhood education, with…read morefour-year-old classrooms at 20:1 and three-year-old classrooms at 15:1. These ratios make it extremely difficult for teachers to effectively manage their classrooms, particularly when dealing with challenging behaviors and children who need additional support. I have witnessed children running from teachers, hitting and spitting at teachers, and jumping from furniture. I have also heard teachers express how stressed and burned out they feel. Many have shared that they are frustrated and saddened that they are unable to enjoy their jobs and the children the way they once did. High ratios, challenging behaviors, and a lack of support and communication from leadership have made it difficult for teachers to provide the quality care they want to provide. It is unfortunate because The Nest has the potential to be a really nice school. The school promotes the core values of Wellness, Kindness, and Fun, but in my experience, those values are not consistently reflected in the day-to-day environment. The best aspects of the school are the playground and the spacious classrooms. Unfortunately, both would benefit from better upkeep and maintenance. Most of the teachers I have interacted with are friendly, caring, and genuinely good with the children. It is clear, however, how much the current environment has contributed to their stress. Considering the high tuition, high classroom ratios, and concerns regarding communication and support from management, I would not currently recommend this school. I believe significant improvements in staffing, classroom support, communication, and overall leadership would be needed before I could recommend it to families or prospective employees.

We've built great friendships with other families and really feel a sense of community here. The curriculum and structure keep our son engaged and excited to learn--he's grown and developed so much and continues to be challenged in all the right ways. We couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend Celebree to any family looking for a caring, nurturing, and educational environment for their child.

They yell at the kids and let them cry if upset. The only kids they care about are the ones whose parents who there. They don't actually teach the kids anything. All they do is scroll on their phones. I highly don't recommend. If you love your kids send them somewhere else. Many of the 5 year olds aren't even capable of counting to 25 due to their lack of education. There is a lot of favoritism. They let them sit in a dirty diaper and don't change them. Many of the times these teachers are out of ratio and overworked.

We have been on the waitlist for the infant room for almost a year now. We actually got on the waitlist when I was 2 months pregnant. At he time they said they expected to have openings in a year. That seemed reasonable for a good school. So, we paid the $75 (I think) application fee and got on the waitlist. Throughout the spring and summer I inquired about our status every few months and just kept being told that they didn't know, they didn't know, maybe. Well after my son was born in July and I asked specifically about October the answer became a clear, no. Then I get emails to "waitlist families" saying that we have to let them know if we want to keep our status on the waitlist and if so we will be moved up to the next classes waitlist. While I get that this is an in-demand school I feel that they could have been much more honest and open about the likelihood of getting a spot before taking your money. So, I'm sure the school is lovely, but if you're shopping for daycares for your infant...here's what we have been through. Hope it helps.
