Highly recommend to anyone in the Brandon area!

We came to GCS during his high school portion, and what a change it has been for him, on the highest of praise. The school has been attentive towards his educational needs, social interactions as well as tending to all the students and faculty spiritually. We were not sure how he/me was going to adjust but seeing all the friends, his grades improving and how the school really comes together as a family, it was one of the best transitions that we could have ever asked for. Barry and Becky McKeen really have a tight handle on the school, and the interaction/level they have with the parents and students is VERY impressive. I highly suggest that if you have not looked into GCS for your child, that you begin to do so...if there is room. You will be happy for all that GCS will provide for you and your child(ren).

Seeing that I went to Lambkins as a child as well as my husband's kids, I figured Lambkins was a…read morenice, safe environment for my son; also since they are in a church I had higher expectations. First off reflecting upon customer service, the director Jamie and her assistant Sharon do not know how to make parents feel at ease. Their customer service is terrible and they don't care about how people feel, as long as they get cash. Jamie told all of her staff personal information about my husbands past and we had to hear it from others at that daycare. Super uncomfortable and unprofessional . After the word got around about my husband, we started receiving information about how our son gets treated based on the rumor created by THEIR DIRECTORS. My son had a morning teacher and afternoon one. They couldn't get along because the AM teacher would blame her for everything and call her names, stating that my child is unlovable because I complain too much and that I like her because she can fake it and be sugary sweet. I complained because my son's stuff constantly got "lost". Numerous packs of diapers were lost, formula was given to other children and they despised me for raising concern. They always called us to come get our son because he had apparent diarrhea, or rashes. Once we had to leave work to take him to the doctor per their request, in a couple more days they tell us he is sick again. Even though our doctor just wrote a note for him. It's a constant struggle to leave work multiple times a week to get our son because they think they can diagnose children. They told us our son had scabies and told other people he was contagious, turned out it was my son's sensitive skin. As parents we understand that babies get sick, but as a daycare you can not diagnose babies. They did not have a nurse there, and each time they called us to get him, he was fine. If I had to describe their work environment, it would be similar to a high school. Pretty drama surrounds all who enter. Not to mention this daycare is at a church. Such a poor reflection of ethics. The last straw for me was hearing that my son's head was held down in his crib. I am so glad I took him out and now have a good person to watch him. Sharon and Jamie are deceptive and stick together to bring others down. I received pictures of my sons left over food in the garbage, after I asked for the rest to be sent home. They have a rug in the infant room that is never vacuumed, bugs in the room and also did not shut down when one of their staffs babies exposed all of our kids to hand foot mouth. Disgusting place and the worst first experience for me as a first time mom. DCF will be ashamed to receive this review as well. Please don't let the church atmosphere fool you into believing this place is safe for your kids.

Food and snacks are included in cost. They have great family events as well! We are excited to continue care for our son here for as long as possible.
