Director Amanda is excellent and responsive. My son was in the Pre-K room there and my daughter in the 2s and then Preschool Rooms. Megan is/was the Pre-K teacher and I adored her. She was open and up front with the parents. Which is always appreciated. Paulina was my daughter's teacher for the majority of the time she was there and I miss her. She was sunshine. A couple of things I didn't care for: When we'd pick up the kids (at 4:15) my daughter's preschool class was often mixed in with the Pre-K class. And the same when we'd drop them off in the morning. At those times, I kind of felt like they were never doing anything....always running around playing but not doing anything organized. And by running around playing I mean that it came across as complete chaos sometimes. In the end the school did not offer Kindergarten so that is why we pulled my kids out. The school is pretty new, considering the ages of many of the places around here...so I think in time and when there are more kids there, that the kink I mentioned above may work themselves out.

My family and I love Rainbow Academy…read more It was stressful evaluating the choices of what to do when it was time for me to go back to work after having our first child. We knew she loved being around other children, so we thought we would give daycare a shot. We're so happy we found Rainbow Academy. They go above an beyond for the children. Even though our daughter is still an infant, they keep her engaged with daily activities and tons of seasonal celebrations. We were able to take the morning off and come take her trick-or-treating with her class. That was so cool to us! All these little things add up, and we know she's being taken care of very, very well. Plus, our daughter loves it there. I was able to go back to work full-time sooner than I thought because of how much she loves it. She's attached to her teachers and has a blast all day. Her teachers helped her adjust to the daily routine, and we see the benefits all the time of the love and devotion they put into her every day. She comes home so happy (and tired from a big day of play!) and we notice her picking up new skills. I also love that they separate the infants into the really small children and the older children. It gives our daughter a chance to get more focused attention on the things she needs to be working on. I also appreciate how much charity work this business does. For instance they are currently having a drive to create care packages for soldiers. That kind of environment is exactly what growing children need to be immersed in.

I sent my one year old son here for about a month before withdrawing him because I did not feel he…read morewas being cared for appropriately. First off, there is no communication here. If I wanted any information from the director or the teachers I needed to ask for it, and I often got different responses depending on who I asked. It felt like the teachers relied on the "Tadpoles" app as a crutch so that they did not have to talk to us. Moreover, I was upset at the number of injuries and incidents my son experienced here compared to his placement at another center. His very first day after attending, he came home with horrible diaper rash with open sores. The teachers tried to make excuses for this by saying it may have been because they were serving him fruit. This is ridiculous to me because we had been serving him fruit at home for almost a year at that point. He was constantly sick and had so many bruises, scrapes and bite marks from "incidents" that I was afraid his pediatrician would think he was being abused. It culminated in an incident where he had a febrile seizure in the classroom and the teachers claimed that they had no idea what caused the seizure or if it could have been prevented. They sent him to the ER where his temperature was found to be 102.7. They claimed someone had been holding him when it happened, so how could they not have known that he had a fever? We had also previously told them that he has a history of febrile seizures. As childcare professionals they should have known the signs of a fever and been able to contact us or administer Tylenol to him before the seizure happened. All in all I did not feel safe sending my son here, and I think the teachers and director did not do a good job either communicating or making sure my child was appropriately cared for. I am writing this not to hurt their business but to make sure other parents are able to make an informed choice when it comes to who they trust with their child's care.

I'll copy exactly what I provided back to the enrollment specialist…read more "Natalie the assist director is the one who did the tour. She has no personality at all. Did not greet with a smile, when touring the infant room she told me there were 1 teacher per 4 students. There was 5 kids in there with no other teacher or helper. She told me 6 are enrolled and when there more than 4 they will hire another teacher, as there were more than 4 students in there I kinda looked at her in confusion. I was trying to lighten the mood make jokes and she was not smiling or acting friendly at all. Looked like she hated her life. Then she was telling me I had to put a down payment today to secure a spot and after I said isn't there a special going on, she rolls her eyes and said "oh yeah, but that 200 goes towards your first month". She was just not welcoming at all. Megan called me the day prior said that she will be doing the tour and wanted to chat after the tour about the position I applied for. Megan did not once greet me when walking in, only when I was going to the front to leave then she wanted to say hi and that's it. When Natalie was asking for clarification, Megan gets up and said yes that's it and goes back into the office. We did not have a chat after. For 2500$ a MONTH. I'd expect A LOT better customer service and welcomeness." Thank god Megan said "let's see how you like the daycare before we switch into the job interview" HORRIBLE HORRIBLE.

Had to create a new account seeing as I can't remember my ridiculously embarrassing email I used prior, that being said, pardon my lack of credible reviews. Now, on to it. My daughter has been at GBDC for a little over 6 months, not a long time, but just enough to get a good feel. From the moment we decided to go with this center I have been beyond happy. My daughter is learning basic Spanish words, as well as counting to 20, (I have an older child who struggled with this) confidently knowing all her colors and then some. This to me is very impressive. What I find even more impressive is the smile on my girls face when I pick her up. She is speaking with confidence, walking tall with confidence, and sharing what she has learning, you guessed it, with CONFIDENCE. That is not an easy task for a very keep to herself little girl, I know, I have two more just like her. That excitement she carries is straight from her teachers there at the center, and for that I am grateful! She always tells me how her lunch was, " so yummy, mommy!" Kids and teachers other than her own have treated her tiny little self with love and respect, what more can I ask for? So while I could probably keep going with my rave, I'll cut it short. I'm a little concussed as to why there are so many negative reviews on here? I guess everyone's either full of it and bitter, or just........ . There is not a bad thing to say, and I will forever tell anyone I know to send there kids to GBDC as well! Thank you ladies for all you do, and all the endless hard work to take care of my baby while I'm away! And for whoever is out there reading these reviews while endlessly searching for the "perfect" daycare for your perfect little, please don't only look at the negatives on here. I promise this center is worth the shot, if you don't believe me ask my little Bless.

A couple of weeks prior to my child being neglected and not being changed Timely, I had informed…read morethis Daycare owner that my child had been diagnosed to be on the autism spectrum! This is why my child is 4 years old and not completely potty-trained! The KinderCare just up the street understands this issue... And never blamed my child for any neglect because they didn't neglect him. Great Beginnings did. I have never brought my child there with a rash! He had a wound on his leg because this daycare did not change him for however long! So the audacity of the owner trying to shift the blame on my child not being potty trained is absolutely ridiculous... Considering he's been in several other daycares where this has not been an issue, I know where the blame lies. So we can go back and forth on this issue until we make it to court! Because I still have the pictures the day it happened. And that's the exact day I told these people my son would no longer attend this daycare! I just so happen to take him home and find the wound after. He had been giving me signals of abuse previously that I didn't understand until I found this wound. My child can't speak for himself , so I have to be the one to do so. This daycare knows that my son was unable to speak for himself... Which gave them license to neglect him! KinderCare down the street and NEVER neglected him. Or tried to blame him for his delays in speech and development! How dare you! You should be ashamed of yourself. I'm not the first parent to figure you out. The fact that you thought you could blame an innocent child shows how disgusting you are. And that you shouldn't be caring for any children. Let's ask KinderCare to provide their assessment of my child! Or the primary school he currently attends! You would look absolutely foolish! You stating that I brought my son in with a rash is an absolute LIE! If this had ever been an issue previously, why would I have said anything? He's never had a rash... And you have never reported a rash! I asked why an incident report wasn't drawn up. And the response was,' oh we hope Jax is okay why don't you come in and discuss the situation'... the reply to my initial review was an absolute lie!(ref attached )If that were the case you would have responded to my first inquiry with your phony fact! The fact that you say you can't attend to a child with special needs every half hour- just shows you were/are not equipped for the special needs that you were advised of! Which the next day there was an Autism pamphlet near the check-in! Was that some type of help? I was told that there was a speech therapy program?? Okay then why did I have to have my son assessed Elsewhere for you to understand he had speech issues for his age? There was also a teacher that previously worked there who was the only one to mention this... A week later she was gone. So this place doesn't like to employee people with actual credentials that want to help children. I think this is a place where people pass through when they realize their skills are better utilized to actually help children..., rather than neglect them for time management purposes. It's a good thing I took my child out of there! I would never step foot in this place again! So much so that I have to send my own posted envelope to get a tax document that could easily be uploaded, or sent in the mail. But because the owner is so difficult, and wants to control people is my opinion. Better me send the postage, then go up there and say what I have to say to their faces. Also I would have to record the whole incident because these people can't be trusted. Like I said before if you love your children, don't send them here. I won't go up there because I do love my child... Enough to have taken him out of that place, as well as not put myself in a situation to get in an altercation and end up in jail! I am livid that this person would actually try to say 4 months later that I brought my son in with a rash! Care to take dueling lie detector test? I'm ready! Kindercare can even attest to the fact prior to my son attending Great Beginnings, he never had rash issues despite the potty training! That's a fact. I have facts and this place has deflection. I guess they thought since my mom picked up my son the majority of the time, I would overlook this incident. But I will continue to defend my son against Any Lies! The nerve of a child caregiver, blaming an innocent child for their neglect. Had someone never appointed this ridiculous place out to me, I would have put my son back in KinderCare as I planned initially... good thing also I put him back in KinderCare in November after the incident... And they only reiterated what a true daycare it's supposed to be like... How it is supposed to function for the good of the children, and how special needs are addressed with attention, and CARE. Not neglect. Or excuses!
