Days Of Discovery has no biting policy and no disciplinary action whatsoever against children who…read morerepetitively bite scratch kick and hit other children. I sent my four-year-old and six-year-old here for a year. They continuously came home with bite marks and scratch marks from other four-year-olds. When I confronted the daycare director about the abuse my children were suffering, I was told that they have never kicked out a child for poor behavior, and if I didn't like it I could find alternative options. I will be looking into reporting them to the Better Business Bureau as well as contacting whoever licensed them. My son went to help another child clean up a mess that she had made and got bit on the face. Other times random children have struck out against him for no reason. The teachers there are just as frustrated as I am, and they tell me that my son is a sweetheart. Unfortunately that means he's targeted by other children because he won't strike them back. Feel free to send your kids here, if you want them to come home bleeding and scared.

My children have been in daycare most of their lives. We spent three years at one school and three…read moreat another. We only changed because our old daycare couldn't accommodate new school hours. BCLC was a disaster from the start. My older child recognized one woman from his school and expressed his dislike for her. He's always cheerful and likes pretty much everyone, but was frustrated because he had not liked her as a substitute. I could soon see why. She always seemed frantic and hectic with a frenzied voice. It was easy to see she was impatient and stressed--not good characteristics for being around children. No wonder my extroverted child had noticed something wrong. My introverted child who doesn't like crowds hated the school from the start, and I couldn't figure out why, but I was soon getting calls from the frantic/stressed woman several days a week because she couldn't deal with him. Apparently, her high strung behavior was not a good match. I'd never gotten a call from a daycare to pick up my child before, but suddenly she was throwing fits several times a week. The tone of voice in the voice mails she left was hysterical. My child reported to me that when she got frustrated, she grabbed and pinched his arms really hard and that it hurt. I took photos of the red marks around his wrist. She can't contain herself and can't keep herself from arguing with a six year old who is small for his age...which is NOT okay in a business where one works with kids. Even when she wasn't fighting with my child, every time I saw her or had to interact with her, it was obvious she was rushed and not handling stress well. I am very concerned about a daycare where the frantic/stressed adult fights and argues and cannot be patient with children. The adult should be in charge, and clearly this woman was not. The woman we met when we first started was only there a brief time before suddenly I heard a different director name. I have no idea what is going on there, but they have management issues, and apparently hired a frantic person who didn't work out as a substitute teacher elsewhere. I need to be able to go to work--not take daily calls from a teacher who can't deal with small children. We hadn't had problems with childcare before, and I suspect we won't again. The frantic woman needs to see a therapist to help her de-stress.

Since we are a military family, I find it very important to review the schools which my daughters…read morehave attended in order to provide information for other families who are having difficulties finding schools for their children as I have had in the past. Beavercreek Christian Learning Center (BCLC) located in the Beavercreek Church of the Nazarene is a wonderful, well-kept school located in Beavercreek, Ohio, redundant, no? Both my daughters attended preschool here and I fervently wished I kept my eldest daughter in BCLC for Kindergarten instead of letting her go to public school in the Mad River School District. 1) BCLC teachers are well-educated and have their degrees or are working towards higher degrees. Many teachers have been established for many, many years. 2) The facilities are clean, peanut-free, and video-monitored. 3) Impressive organization of facility, activities, etc; no confusion. Newsletters are distributed monthly. 4) There is curriculum! Many children are reading (it seemed like all the students in my eldest daughter's class read) by the time kindergarten rolls around. 5) In-house field "trips" for preschoolers; actual field trips for kindergarteners. 6) Parent involvement encouraged. 7) Chapel on Wednesday mornings; really enjoyed by kids. 8) Christmas Bell performance given by kids is enjoyed by parents and kids alike! 9) Tuition is comparable to all other great schools, lunch is included; preschool time from 8:30-12:30. Extended before and after care provided. 10) VERY IMPORTANT: Never closes unless Wright Patterson Air Force Base closes or for a religious holiday. In this area, all other schools close all the time. Take this into account if you work; especially on supposed "snow days."

When you bring these concerns up to the director, she is unable to do anything but give excuses. As a parent who pays so much in tuition for this location, I would expect you to understand how to address concerns and issues with your teachers behaviors especially when they come from many parents. Utilizing an anonymous parent survey would allow you to see the magnitude of dissatisfaction with Rachel.

I had two children attend St John's Early Childhood Program. I can not express enough how amazing…read morethis experience was for both of them. The staff at St John's were all incredibly kind, caring and attentive. The children who attended St John's ECP were happy to be there and enjoyed their time there. Our children looked forward to going to school each and every day. The teachers prepare the well children for a successful transition into elementary school. I have heard from other parents about how teachers know the children who attended St John's ECP because they were well prepared to start kindergarten. We experienced the same thing with our two children as they entered kindergarten. I can not say enough about my appreciation and love for St John's ECP!!! Please consider this preschool program for your child!!!!

I truly believe this is because the staff at St. John's prepared them so well for the transition. The attention, care and support my children needed to succeed was very evident throughout the halls of the school. The entire staff care a great deal about the development of every child and it's very clear when you see the smiles on their faces. I think every parent should look at St. John's when considering a pre-K program for their child, as it is one of the best!

This is the church in which I grew up. This church offers Catholic services like mass and…read moreconfession and also has a school associated with it. All are welcome to mass. If you have never been to a Catholic mass make sure you sit around people (so you can follow them as the rise, kneel, etc) if you choose to participate. Please keep in mind that communion is intended for those who have gone through a process to receive it (in second grade for those of us who grew up in the church). No one is likely to even notice if you do not go up for communion. Services are held in a beautiful main church and also the school gym. The services in the gym are a bit more relaxed. If you are Christian but have never been to a Catholic Church keep in mind we bring children of all ages to church. Sometimes kids make noise- it's common. Both the church and school are beautifully maintained. I have a friend with a child in the elementary program and she has excellent things to say about the school. The church is also very supportive of the school. This is a great place go to mass or church events.

I was very pleased to see the school, to visit with a few of the teachers, to talk to some old friends and most of all, to spend precious time with Taylor. Thank you Heywood!
