We couldn't be happier with our experience at Purple Door Christian Childcare!…read more The staff is incredible. All are nurturing, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. I have had 2 children there for the past 5 years who absolutely loves going every day, and it's such a relief as a parent to know they're not only safe, but thriving in a positive, engaging environment. Everything is very clean, classrooms are well-organized which helps support development in fun and creative ways. They strike the perfect balance between structured learning and play-based exploration. My children are both older now and in after school care, but when they were full time, I saw so much growth in them socially, emotionally, and intellectually. The teachers treat the kids like their own, and it truly feels like a second family. The longevity of the teaching staff make is so that the children build strong, lasting relationships which is very important. If you're looking for a childcare center where your child will be loved, supported, and encouraged to grow, Purple Door is your place. We're so grateful to have found them years ago!

This place goes beyond just teaching the basics of education - they are deeply committed to instilling values that shape children into kind, empathetic, and honest individuals. Through their daily interactions, lessons, and activities, they encourage children to treat others with kindness, understand different perspectives, and value honesty. The kids are constantly working as teams, learning to share, and practicing patience. These are simple yet HUGE principals that have shaped my son to be such an incredibly loving human already (at age 5). What's truly remarkable is how the staff themselves model these principles. They consistently demonstrate patience, understanding, and respect, creating a nurturing environment where children feel safe and valued. It's inspiring to see how the staff lead by example, showing the kids what it means to live with integrity and care for others. If you're looking for a childcare center that not only prepares your child for academic success but also helps them grow into a good-hearted person, Purple Door Christian Childcare is the perfect place. It's more than childcare - it's a community that helps children thrive in every sense of the word.

We love it here and would recommend them to anyone! The staff is really accommodating and has been really easy to work with. They do have some teacher turnover, but unfortunately that happens at every single daycare. When it does happen, it's been communicated to us and a replacement is there almost immediately. I feel very comfortable leaving our little girl there. She really enjoys it and is starting to really bond with her teachers. I've never doubted the level of care or compassion each of the teachers has displayed. They've helped me along as a first time mom on what sorts of things to bring in and when. They don't bat an eye when I've asked silly questions or when we have forgotten spare clothes for the second day. I honestly can't say enough nice things about them.

They send home daily sheets which are advertised to have personal comments on the children's day but my child's teacher does not write anything more than a impersonal reminder of an upcoming event. I like that they send photos home by email throughout the day but when they sent a video the teacher in the video seemed exceptionally unenthused. I am very frustrated by their insistence that parents pay full price when children are not attending due to the pandemic. When we are under a stay at home advisory and told not to go anywhere that can be avoided they state it is their policy we needed to give them 30 days prior notice.... of the governors orders... which is not possible. I understand they have a policy b the policy was not drafted with a pandemic in mind and their inflexibility during this difficult time leaves me very frustrated. Additionally emails sent in reference to this matter were replied to in a rude and unprofessional manner.

TL;DR - The daycare left the gate that led from the toddler play yard to the parking lot unlocked,…read moreand my son was able to open the gate, walk across the parking lot, and enter the retention pond. The teacher never noticed until a code was called and the Director raced outside to grab my son. Full review below. My son had been going to this Primrose location for a little over a year. A couple weeks ago, my son's class was outside in the play yard with their teacher. My son, and another little one, pushed open the gate leading from the play yard to the parking lot without the teacher noticing. This gate was supposed to be locked, but was not. My son walked out of the play yard, across the parking lot, and into the retention pond, without his teacher noticing. The only reason why a code was called was because a teacher in another classroom happened to look out their classroom window and see my son walking into the pond. My son might not be here today if the teacher hadn't looked out their window. While the Director acted quickly to pull my son out of the pond, this major lapse in security should have never occurred. The daycare critically failed to complete security checks to ensure all gates were locked. My child could have died because they failed to complete security checks. I, obviously, pulled my son out of Primrose School at Pinnacle. I could never trust them to take the necessary measures needed to ensure my child's, or any of the other children's who attend this daycare, safety. I understand that the executive staff are taking responsibility for what happened, cooperating with the investigation, and taking steps to mitigate the risk of this happening again, but this should have never happened. My son loved his teachers and going to this school. This entire incident is heartbreaking for me and his dad.

LARGE ADULT SCISSORS LEFT LYING AROUND IN THE CHILDREN'S REACH!!! MAJOR STATE SAFETY VIOLATION!!!…read more I totally understand the overwhelmingly positive reviews. I myself would have written a glowing review for this business up until just a couple of months ago. We loved Primrose and thought the educational value was superior. As a teacher myself I really valued my kids being in this educational setting. Furthermore, it is a beautiful, clean facility with impressive outdoor play areas. Three things happened over the past couple of months in our three year old's preschool class that drastically changed my opinion of this childcare facility. I will start with the most shocking: 1.) SCISSORS/SAFETY VIOLATIONS: I was usually in and out in about 2 minutes during pick up and drop off. One day about a month ago my son said he had to use the restroom when I was picking him up. While I was waiting for him I noticed adult sized scissors lying on the low counter by the sink where the children wash their hands. I am not an over-reactor by any means. It was brought to the teacher's attention but I didn't make a huge deal about it. About a week later my son was showing me something he had made and I was shocked when I noticed the scissors lying out again. I informed the director about the scissors on our way to my other sons' classroom. The director went down to the room. On my way out she thanked me for bringing this to her attention. She said that the teacher said she was not aware that she could not leave regular scissors lying around. This actually scared me more. This means those scissors had probably been out just about EVERYDAY and I just was always in and out so quick that I didn't notice. The director assured me that it would not happen again. However, I just kept wondering "what else does this teacher not know that I assume (as the person I was trusting to keep my kid safe each day for 8+ hours) that she knows." I wasn't willing to take any chances and wait to find out. We did not send our sons back to Primrose after this incident. I also contacted the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services who oversees childcare facility licensing and they said that this is a reportable state safety violation. 2.) BULLYING: My son was being bullied by a group of 4 boys. This is a more subjective topic so I will not go into the details but I assure you that based on all the facts I have I am convinced that my son was in fact being bullied. When I mentioned my concerns about the "bullying" to his teacher she didn't seem to think there was a problem. Things continued that concerned us so we brought up our concerns with management who tried to smooth things over by telling us that 3 year olds are too young to have malicious intent and bully. I am a teacher and coincidentally we just had a professional development session about bullying for the staff at my school and the speaker said that bullying starts at age 2. I did some quick internet searches and found similar facts stating that bullying does in fact start in preschool. When I had concerns about my son getting bullied, management's response was actually a denial of the problem and giving me inaccurate information. If they were not acknowledging the possibility of bullying then how could I expect them to do anything about my specific concerns I shared with them? 3. TALKING BAD ABOUT STUDENTS TO PARENT OF OTHER KIDS. My son got bit by another student and I had to sign an incidence report at pickup one day. As the teacher was explaining the incident and asking me to sign she said to me that she thought one of the other students in the class had "mental problems" and "just wasn't quite right". I was completely bewildered at this unprofessionalism. Did she say things about my son to other parents? Wow. As a teacher, I can't imagine ever talking about one of my students in a negative way to another parent. Not to mention that there are laws (FERPA) that prohibit the sharing of information about other students. Primrose looks great on the outside. My sons spent 8+ hours there a day but I was only seeing a small glimpse of what happens during my quick drop off and pick up times. From what I saw I felt great about sending my kids there. When the 3 things that I mentioned above all started to come to light I was shocked. Knowing what I know now, I would NOT FEEL SAFE sending my sons there. In fact, I decided to withdraw them immediately after the second scissors incident and I still had to pay for 2 weeks worth of service. This was also an inconvenient decision financially since it essentially meant that I had to pay for childcare at two places at the same time as well as pay the enrollment fees at a new center. However, my children are irreplaceable and far too important to me for me to take any chances when their safety is at stake.

When we created our guest list, we quickly realized that almost every couple on our list had at least ONE kid under the age of 3. Yikes!!!! Mobile Mommies to the rescue!! Jeanette was very quick to respond to my last minute inquiry. I had never used a sitter service for our parties in the past since this Whole kid thing is new to our young circle of friends. The day of the party, Jeanette and her colleague arrived right on time. They brought all of the supplies for the kids to play with along with sign up sheets for our friends to sign when dropping their kids off in our basement. The parents had great peace of mind and enjoyed the party, knowing that their little ones were nearby and under great care!!! I highly recommend Mobile Mommies for any party you're hosting with lots of children. The kids have more fun playing with each other and so do the parents :) I could also see how this service would be perfect for weddings, graduation parties, etc!! Highly recommend and will use again!!

This is NOT a learning center the only thing they want to do is put your child in a high chair for the slightest incident. Teachers on cell phones and not paying attention to the children at all. Only way your kid will make it in this day care is if you are a mother that just doesn't care. I HIGHLY DONT RECOMMEND. They only have 6 months of experience and it really shows
