When you consider this school, by all means don't go off of "Erin's" review, considering she had issues with every place she went to. Starting from the ladies in the nursery who work tirelessly to provide their time, even with a 4:1 state mandated ratio. Have you ever tried to take care of 4 infants under the age of 9 months at once? You give and you give and you give. That's what I saw/see with my son there, regardless of how short they were, someone (God Bless the nurse who is always pitching in) and all the way up the chain to the Director Cheryl, someone is putting these kids before everything else. When you listen to the news and hear all the terrible things that happen at daycares and pre-k schools, you can rest assuredly that it doesn't happen here. As for the "curriculum" (say that slowly as you're talking about kids under 4) my daughter is heads above kids her age in both her recall and vocabulary. Noah's Ark puts Christ first and it shows.

I'm going to start off this critique with a disclaimer. I could not possibly have any more respect…read morefor people who decide to take on the enormous responsibility of not only watching, but helping develop other people's children for a living. I have several teachers in my family, as well as many close friends who have chosen this noble profession to pursue. It is truly a job that takes heart. It is also a career that takes every ounce of patience that you can muster. Taking care of children is THE hardest job on Earth. It takes a special kind of person. I, having no children, but several nephews who I love with my whole heart, truly appreciate this. With that said, parents are trusting your institution to stand in for them when they're not able, and paying exorbitant amounts of money to make sure this happens. Unfortunately, here at Schoolhouse, my family's experience has been quite the opposite. There are wonderful teachers here. People like "Miss Diane" and "Miss Brianne" have been phenomenal with my nephew. He talks about them often. You see, I take care of my nephew once a week, and have since he was 4 months old. He'll be 4 soon. I have heard many great things about the aforementioned two teachers. I also know that he's being told he's "bad" regularly, and not by these 2. I spend every other Wednesday building his self-esteem back up before he goes back to "school" the following day. His parents, who are the most involved and supportive parents you could imagine, spend an enormous amount of time doing the same thing. That's right. We spend a ridiculous amount of time building him up after a group of "experienced childcare experts" beat him down. Now let me tell you something. My nephew has his moments. He can be naughty, he can have temper tantrums, and he can be a royal pain in the you-know-what!! He can also be the most loving and caring little boy you've met. HE'S THREE YEAR'S OLD. That's what children do. And if you're not equipped, you shouldn't be in child care. Looking at you Janice, said Assistant Director. Who, by the way, i couldn't find one iota of information about on any website regarding Schoolhouse. Odd that the "ASSistant Director" has no information about "herself" on the school's main website. I guess if there's not something nice to say about someone.... In closing, please look up other daycares in your area before settling for Schoolhouse. The rare good teachers that are (under) employed there currently will find jobs they deserve, but the damage that the bad ones, especially/including Janice, create can last a lifetime. P.S. My nephew no longer goes here. So my post is only here to warn you. If you love your children as much as I love my boys, heed said warning. Good luck and God bless.
