I've gotten 4 emails requesting a review for KRK so here we go. This is going to be a long one, so…read morebuckle up. My toddler attended KRK in Greer from summer 2022 to the beginning of 2024. At first we loved KRK - it was welcoming, clean, had cameras, & the teachers were great with communication. After about a year things started to go downhill. They were holding us to policies that didn't exist & having us come get our son for nonsense issues because they were understaffed. Around that time, 5 teachers plus the kitchen staff had all left & not been replaced, yet they were telling me that there was no issue with ratios due to that...ok. Reasons they sent my son home: wouldn't come off the playground, was laying half on/half off his mat, wouldn't nap, got dirty outside, got a bug bite, had a pimple on his cheek (they called those last two rashes). I ended up losing my job over my child not napping. They were calling me 1-3 times every week to come get him, while still requiring me to pay fulltime. They said he was being disruptive during nap time & that was part of the reason, even though I saw other children on the camera running around & ripping my son's blanket off of him - they were allowed to stay. When I asked why that was, I was told they aren't allowed to discuss other peoples children. A coworker of mine had her kids at the other location of KRK (now nest) and a teacher was fired there for being abusive toward the kids. The teacher was now at my location. When I asked the director about this teacher, I was met with "who told you that?". She said it wasn't true... Turns out it was true but I can't say how I know that. My son was kicked out for biting a kid that punched him in the face. My son turned 3 & was in a room with 2 year olds. Even though all the kids are in the same room, the 3 year olds have different rules. If a 2 year old bites a 3 year old and the 3 year old bites back... The 3 year old will be kicked out, but the 2 year old can stay. I was sent a whole handbook I had never seen or signed off on with the biting rule all the sudden mentioned in there - when I asked other parents if they had seen this version of the handbook, they had not. I was the only one the fake handbook was sent to and I'm positive I didn't sign off on it, even though they tried to gaslight me and tell me I did. I had a version of the handbook from when we started, but this wasn't it. One time I was at an offsite meeting for work and I didn't have my car because we all traveled there together. I got a call requesting I pick up my son because he wouldn't take a nap and I said I wouldn't be able to make it there in the one hour window they give you to pick up your child. I was BERATED and told from here on out I better have my car with me at all times. The director spoke to me like this frequently - like she was in charge of my life. As I see it, I'm paying for a service and providing THEM with their paycheck... not the other way around. They continue to get away with this, though, because waitlists are so long and they know they can replace a child the next day. Ownership shifted from multiple people to one individual and herein lies the negative changes. They also started accepting ABC vouchers, which seems to have changed the way they treat some kids. I know how all this sounds, trust me, but it's true. I've spoken to other parents this has happened to and I know the daycare will respond to this message in attack mode like I see they've done to other reviews but that's fine because this is all facts. Believe the negative reviews guys... go check the abcquality.org website because it doesn't lie (find them under " Upstate Preschool DBA Kids 'R' Kids"). They have high severity issues that they've been caught for and are rated a C. It's sad that the school went so downhill because we loved it at the beginning. Writing all this benefits me in no way personally, but I feel like parents need to see real reviews from real parents to make decisions about where to send their children. Find another facility.

We couldn't be more pleased with Haynsworth Private School. Our child has attended for over 2…read moreyears, and absolutely loves it. The teachers are kind and loving, with just enough discipline to keep things orderly. For working parents, its important to note that Haynsworth is almost always open. Except for one week at the end of the summer, there are childcare options all year round, including "summer camp" sessions during the summer. "Bank Holidays" like presidents day usually have coverage as well. This school is not "fancy" and its not "new", but it's clean and tidy. We love the older buildings and the warmth that they bring. Mostly, we just love the teachers and how they exemplify the values that we want instilled in our child - kindness, love, hard work, good manners, and more. Can't say enough good things!

Our family was one of the first to enroll at Children's Courtyard when it opened in February 2025,…read moreand it quickly became clear that this is not a corporate-feeling daycare. It feels deeply connected to the community and genuinely invested in each child and family--not a place where you ever feel like just a weekly paycheck. From the very beginning, the staff took time to get to know my child before their first day, asking about likes, dislikes, and personality during the meet-the-teacher event. The teachers and administration were consistently warm, communicative, and present. Daily updates through the app were thorough, and on the rare occasion of an incident, I received prompt communication and personal follow-up, which made me feel supported and respected as a parent. Classroom transitions were handled with so much care and intention, making the process smooth and stress-free for my child. When our family had to move unexpectedly due to an emergency, the compassion and support we received from the teachers and leadership meant everything. This is hands down the best learning center my child has attended. If you're looking in the Boiling Springs, Spartanburg, or Greenville area, I highly recommend Children's Courtyard.

I received a complimentary visit to attend a class when I purchased my new bmw. The complimentary…read morevisit was for me and one guest. The class I attended was the Performance Center Drive and David and Reid were the instructors for the class. The class consisted of a lecture style intro by the instructors, then we got to drive. There was an off road type of course where we drove x5 m60i's. It was fun to drive the x5 and the off road portion of the class was adrenaline inducing for me. I was lowkey afraid, but Reid was a great guide. After the off road course, we drove on the track with David where we got to drive the following vehicles around: z4, i4, m4, m2, and the x4m. My favorite vehicle to drive around the track was hands down the m4, it was a beast to drive. My second favorite was the z4. I would say the x4m was my least favorite surprisingly. My class was split in half, so half of us did the off road portion, half did the track, then we switched off and all met up for the last portion of the class, which was the hot lap. The instructors drove us around in a M4 for the hot lap. I will summarize my experience as pure adrenaline! My boyfriend had the time of his life, me, well I needed more prep for that lol, and the class was early in the morning. All in all, it was a phenomenal experience. I would love to return to try the other classes they offer. You can even take delivery of your new BMW at the performance center, how cool is that?!

Bob Jones is only for people who want to be depressed and unsuccessful in your future career as…read morewell as in your faith. Bob Jones professes to be a place that "shapes heads, hearts and backbones for Christ", but in reality they do the exact opposite. The curriculum, the student-life, and the rules all rather shape heads and hearts against Christ. During my time at BJU, which only lasted one semester, a lot of problems quickly became apparent. BJU has terrible leadership who are ill equipped to handle real world problems. Aside from preaching "abstain from appearances of evil", and "no sex before marriage", the staff have no real advice of wisdom whatsoever. Also, the professors on campus are no exception. The professor I had for most of my classes during my semester was supposed to be teaching history. However, the primary subjects of most of our classes were sex, pornography, and the philosophies of heartbreak and romance. The professor went as far as describing different sizes of male genitals. When I approached my academic advisor with this concern, no changes were made. No one reached back out to me after I filed my complaint, no adjustments were made to the curriculum, and that professor is still teaching some if not all of the classes pertaining to my major. The other professors I had at the time left rude comments on my assignments evaluating my comprehension skills or my abilities to retain information that had been barely taught. I had one professor who watched YouTube videos of fish instead of teaching. This is the top rated, high quality Christian education you are paying almost $30,000 dollars a year for. Outside of professors, the campus itself has a lot of problems. The Dining Common is always closed, which led me to spending about $500 dollars on basic meals in one semester alone. This is while I am paying about $17,000 for room/board/food alone. The rules are another large, unspoken issue at BJU. Men and women being in any form of relationship outside of "godly brother/sisterhood" is extremely scorned. But this isn't what you'll see if you visit the campus on a tour or check their social media pages. The handbook permits side hugs only for photos. Photos which are constantly on their social medias, which gives the illusion of a far more relaxed environment than what it truly is. In reality, anyone can disrupt a couple having a meal together or taking a walk. I was unable to have dinners or sit next to my boyfriend without being approached and accused of touching or giving "the appearance of evil". The tours, website, and social media also give potential students a look into dorm life. They show you happy residents, gentle, loving, caring staff and supervision, and kind roommates. However, this is the exact opposite from the true situation. The supervision and RA's show no care or compassion about anyone other than themselves. If students come to them, they blow them off. Demerits are handed out for having lights on one minute past curfew. There is no exemptions for being out of your room past curfew, including having to use the bathroom or get out of bed for any reason. I have been given demerits for wearing jeans to church, by an RA wearing jeans at the same time. The dorm supervisor targets those who are in relationships, because relationships could give the appearance of evil. There are no second chances or consideration coming from any staff. If one roommate is to make an accusation about another, it is assumed true regardless of the opinions of anyone else. For example, my roommates accused me of stealing and ignoring them and I was kicked out of my room. The true story was in fact that I had never stolen from them, and they found the misplaced item the day after I moved out. However, all the dorm staff and supervision treated me as if I was a terrible Christian and not worth the time it may have taken to explain myself to them. I was given two days to move all of my possessions from one room to another with no help from them. Favoritism is an issue even outside of the dorms. The arts programs and your success are completely based on how well liked you are by the professors. During my time at BJU, students were shoved around and removed from roles or activities because the professors or other students in charge just didn't like them. If they weren't removed immediately, they were led on and played with until the last minute, when the professor then publically humiliated them. BJU is entirely based on popularity, favoritism, and treatment based on whoever is making the payments. Student life staff have called me personally a slut, whore, failure, and told me that I would amount to nothing in life because I disagreed with them on one subject. The subject being an aspect of my personal life which had nothing to do with my education, and I had not gotten it involved in any aspect of my on-campus life. in short dont go here is sucks ass

Our daughter visited several schools before deciding on Bob Jones University. Without a doubt, the…read morething that stood out was the personal attention from the staff. No other school came close to the concern and godliness of the staff. Some may reference rules, but honestly, most businesses have stricter rules for their staff. This is unashamedly a Christian school so not aligning with those values will have parents looking elsewhere. I don't think I would recommend any other institution more than this (and the cost is shockingly affordable.)

Southern shops daycare passed with flying colors in every aspect that I could research online! So my wife and I signed up our almost 2 year old to attend. At first he would cry when I would drop him off in the morning. As I expected. But within a few minutes of standing outside, his crying stopped. And I could peak through the window to see him start playing with the other kids. When I would pick him up he was always very happy. And after a while he started to hug the ladies that were caring for him goodbye for the day. This told me that my hours apon hours apon days, and weeks of researching daycares paid off in excellent childcare for my son Hunter. He would still be going here if covid had not forced them to close because of low enrollment. I'm putting this review because they earned it! I'm not the type to give respect till it's earned. And all the ladies and 1 man earned my respect a million times over for caring for my son like he was one of their own!!! My next part of my review is for any other daycare looking for top notch childcare employees. If you see on an application that they worked at southern shops daycare..... look no further, you have found the perfect person for the job! Just hire them! They are always on time and very skilled at what they do! Thank you for reading, I am very sad that covid made them have to close....
