We have been at conerstone since 2016. Finding a daycare was seriously one of the most difficult…read morethings I've ever done. Placing my child's safety in someone else's hands is something my husband and I don't take lightly. This facility has been a godsend! Management and staff are amazing. We currently have a 4 and 1 year old attending. My 4 year old has grown up around many of the staff and loves them dearly. I never have issues with cleanliness and they have been wonderful working around our 1 year olds food allergies to nearly everything. Cost has gone up on occasion, but they have actually made improvements to the classrooms and purchased a new bus. We don't mind the rate increase when we can see the money being put to good use. I have, and will continue to recommend this amazing facility to anyone in need of childcare. They will treat you and your children like family, not customers.

My son has learned to talk very well since coming here and has learned all his letters and everything else a 1-2 year old learns.

Our family was with Ft. Steam in Augusta for many years, dating back to when the co-owner taught…read moreart out of her home. While we were long-time members, a recent failure by management to handle a situation professionally forced us to withdraw before the year was up. I am sharing our experience to help other parents make an informed decision. Following a peer rumor that inadvertently involved the business, my minor daughter proactively requested a meeting with the owners to clarify the situation. Given our long history, she expected a safe, moderated environment. Instead, we found the meeting to be hostile. In our experience, the co-owner spoke to my daughter in an aggressively loud and elevated tone before she could finish speaking. The situation felt so unsafe and unprovoked that I felt compelled to physically remove my child from the room, as the owner could not de-escalate the interaction. When my husband subsequently met with the owners to address this behavior, we felt there was a complete lack of accountability or apology. Furthermore, during this discussion, the owners shared details regarding another child's past behavioral history by name. This lack of discretion left us with no confidence that student privacy is respected behind closed doors. Worse, we learned that instead of mitigating the peer conflict, leadership allegedly instructed other teens in the program to focus their grievances toward our daughter and another student. While we understand that business owners cannot prevent outside rumors, the way this peer conflict was handled felt entirely inappropriate for educators responsible for minors. While families may have a fine experience when things run smoothly, our situation completely changed how we view this leadership. In our opinion, Ft. Steam handles conflict poorly and does not maintain the level of professionalism or student privacy we expect from an educational environment. Since sharing our experience, there have reportedly been threats of legal action toward individuals and groups connected to discussions about Ft. Steam and their handling of similar interactions.

The week that they opened, my child was allowed to go one day before they denied her back due to misunderstandings on THEIR part. So this is three weeks in a row I was not able to go to work. So by the 3rd week I was not paid for calling out and then as a result of not working in office for 3 weeks in a row, I was fired. When I tried to come up with a solution(only pay for the one day my child was allowed in daycare) I was ignored. Fast forward a month and a half later every single week had been paid, yet they still refused to work with me on the one week that was denied service. When told I was ultimately fired due to the lack of daycare, they said they were sorry I was fired due to them but they were still firm on needing their FULL payment. If you want a family oriented place DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CHILD HERE! If they do not care about struggling parents that are only struggling because of them, They do not care for your kids.
