I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about St. Thomas Aquinas preschool. My family and I…read moremoved from Maryland to Georgia and we had no idea where to go for our 3 year old, so we researched all of the Catholic preschools we could find. Director, Ms. Hampton, is AMAZING! She was such such a breath of fresh air in the craziness of the move and ridiculously helpful as we transitioned. The whole preschool experience and her teacher, Mrs. Carras, have been absolutely wonderful. From the helpfulness while researching schools, to the enrollment process, to the school year itself, I can not say enough wonderful things about St. Thomas!

It's so hard as a mom to leave your child, we take the time to look for a place we hope will care…read morefor them as much as we do, when we are away. O2B kids consistently disappoints. The teachers themselves are over worked and under trained. I have had to correct how to wipe my child. Ensure that they fill their water more than just for meals and snack. The thing that breaks my heart is to see my child cry at drop off and nobody reacts. It's not until I ask for someone to come comfort her. Does anyone even bother to walk over to them and take their hand and say "your okay".

After two years of my daughter being at this daycare, I made the decision to withdraw her due to…read morethe decline in care under new management. Since the new director, Courtney, took over, I began receiving calls almost every other day to pick my child up for simply "not listening." To be clear, my daughter was not being violent or physically harming anyone--she was being treated like normal childhood behavior was a major issue and she's only 4. What's even more concerning is what I observed through the cameras. Instead of redirecting or positively guiding the children, teachers frequently yell at them throughout the day. It creates a stressful and unwelcoming environment that is completely inappropriate for young kids. A VPK teacher Ms. Pat walked out due to being "overwhelmed" and I overheard her on the phone tell my daughter in a loud tone "don't talk to me ever again" which my daughter told me herself what was said. Another teacher also admitted to beating her own child which is kind of concerning considering she works with children.. I would not recommend this daycare to anyone. The difference became immediately clear when I moved my daughter to a new daycare--on the very first day, she was noticeably happier and more at ease. That alone confirmed I made the right choice.

Before we enrolled, we took our child in for a "discovery day." We liked what we saw, and our child…read morewas enthusiastic. Wasn't there for an hour that day before my wife was called to pick up. They made up all sorts of stories but when I got there the poor kid was sitting there quietly in the office. Hasn't been the same since and I can't get a straight answer from the staff. All kids have their issues, but we had a conversation about needs with the Director that they said could be fulfilled. I know my child isn't the first to "give you an issue listening" so maybe they need to take a look at themselves and ask if they are actually teaching children at their "academy."

He was treated so horribly by the lady at the front desk that we are not even interested in opening the packet she reluctantly handed him. The man that was there seemed nice enough, but if that lady has a hand in overseeing the children, I'd rather not risk it. she even threatened to have his car towed. horrible experience that definitely gave us reason to believe we should not bring our children anywhere near there.

I feel she is with other children that are well behaved too. It is a clean, well maintained facility. Although the staff is wonderful, Sometimes I feel like the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing so I have to over communicate to make sure I don't miss anything. I still give it 5 stars because of how they treat my daughter and what she has learned here.
