It was very hard for me to leave my son in the care of others at first, but they have made me feel much bettter about it. The teachers and managers are very caring and have made my son feel welcome.

Highly recommend for anyone who is looking in East Cobb!

Worst day being a mother to date was Wednesday May 1, 2019 and here is why, on that date I got a…read morecall from Primrose of East Cobb. They could not reach his father so they called me, and I was at work. The owner John Fudge proceeds to tell me that my son has been crying uncontrollably since he was dropped off (at that time it had been about 40 mins), that he has a bump on his head, it's unusual for him to act like this, and that I may need to take him to the doctor to have him checked out. My response was a bump? I didn't see a bump on his head this morning, his father took him to school and he didn't see one either so I say okay, If I can't reach his father to come back and get him I will pick him up. I ended up picking him up and they have me sign a document called a statement of illness. It claims they saw bruises on him and the bump on the head. I walk in the room to get him, he isn't crying anymore, I see the bump on his head and I say to the teacher that it looks like a mosquito bite. He also had 3 mosquito bites on his right leg from being outside the night before. The teacher looks at me with this blank look and says nothing. I tell my son, lets go. I call his doctor on the way home to make an appointment for him to come in that same day, even though I don't think anything is wrong, just to cover my bases because I felt like they were documenting this in a way that sounded really bad and they have never documented his illness before. I picked up up a little before 11 am. I take him to the doctor at 2 pm, they acknowledge that they are indeed mosquito bites and that he seems to have an allergic reaction to them, that accounts for the redness and swelling. He also had no bruises anywhere on his body, only mosquito bites. Before I could get out of the doctor's office I'm getting phone calls from a number I don't recognize. I check my voicemail and it's Cobb County DCFS. I call them back and the lady says she has to see me in person and check on my son because of the case that has been opened on me. I lost it! I started crying, then I got angry, then I got scared. She was very understanding and said I had every right to feel the way I felt. She wouldn't tell me details of the complaint over the phone but I knew it was the school! I just could not believe they went to that extreme before even getting an explanation for anything! So I went back to the doctor crying ridiculously and informed them that they reported me to DCFS. They just shook their heads and gave me enough documents to show to the case worker and said it should be fine. We had to have a visit from DCFS that same day and the first thing she said when she saw my son was she could not believe they reported this to them. She said they would close the case but we are still in the system and went through an ordeal that could have been avoided with proper communication. Also, the case worker said the person who reported the incident said my 2 year old son who can't string together a full sentence told them daddy put the bump on his head. We asked him what happened to his head and his answer switched 3 times! Needless to say we removed him from this school. Check the pictures, below, all bug bites they said were bruises. Of course they defended their decision to make that call based on the laws of mandated reporters but even a mandated reporter should have some common sense and communicate with the parents before making that decision. They had 24 hrs to report suspected abuse, they did not even give me the opportunity to explain anything. No one was there to talk to me when I went to pick him up, just here, sign this form. No one told me that they had questioned him and he said his dad did it, even though when his dad dropped him off he didn't start crying until they took him out of his arms. He did not want to stay. The police don't question children without a parent being present so how are they able to do it? Also, if you really think a child is being abused, you call the supposed abuser to come and pick him up? I may not be familiar with some things but I still feel like they escalated this far beyond what was necessary and my child has never had any problems period! So send your child there if you want to but make sure you document everything so if your child goes to school with a bump or cries excessively you can have all your ducks in a row. This incident was enough for me to lose trust in their decision making when it comes to my child. I would forever be on edge sending him there worried that they might see something minor and report it just because they can (oh i'm sorry, because they have a suspicion, even though there has never been any indication of abuse). My son is a daredevil and I am thankful mosquito bites and an occasional cold are all I have had to deal with so far. I am also glad I had sense enough to take him to the doctor and have documentation backing me up!

My child's personal details were posted on social media. Continue reading for more details. Rivergreen Childcare was a beloved part of our family's life for 8 years. Both of my children began in the infant room and graduated from Pre-K here. They also attended summer camps and school breaks at the facility. During those years, we loved the warm, dedicated teachers and the leadership from former directors who clearly had a heart for children and their families. Unfortunately, when Rivergreen transitioned from private ownership to corporate management under Chroma, everything we once valued began to change. The leadership shift was immediately apparent--many of the long-standing teachers left, and the previous director departed as well. What followed was a dramatic decline in the environment and culture of care. The new director's approach was, in her own words, "business first"--a philosophy that quickly became evident in her interactions. During her first week, I witnessed a troubling incident involving my 5-year-old child during a moment of distress that any young child might experience. Rather than offering compassion or attempting to de-escalate the situation privately, my child was left lying on the floor of the public foyer, crying, while the director stood over her and chastised her in full view. There was no empathy, no discretion, and certainly no child-centered response. What was even more concerning was the lack of transparency. The account I received from the director contradicted the teacher's version of events--details I only received after insisting on a first-hand report. In that same conversation, the director asked me point-blank, "Is she going to be a problem?" This was just the first of several interactions that made it clear the new leadership lacks the empathy, professionalism, and child development understanding necessary to foster a safe, supportive environment. Despite eight years of loyalty, I made the difficult decision to withdraw my children from the center within two weeks of the new director's arrival. If that doesn't speak volumes, I don't know what does. While the teachers themselves remain kind and capable, a facility without strong, compassionate leadership is not a place I can recommend. As a parent, I expect a childcare environment where children come first--not corporate priorities. In addition, I am deeply concerned that personal and sensitive details regarding my child's behavior were publicly disclosed on social media, as seen in the response issued by the facility. While no name was used, the context and timing of the post clearly identify my child to anyone familiar with our situation--constituting a breach of confidentiality and a violation of my child's right to privacy and dignity. According to Bright from the Start: Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning, child care programs must comply with Rule 591-1-1-.11 (Confidentiality), which explicitly states: "Information concerning the child or the child's family shall not be made available to anyone other than the parents or legal guardian, the center's employees or designated consultants, the Child Care Licensing Division, or other designated authorities unless the parents or legal guardians grant written permission."

We enrolled both our sons at this Discovery Point, location #43, including our youngest, who was twenty-two months old and couldn't yet tell us about his day; my adult stepson handled most of the pickups, and he is as agreeable as they come. We were also, in those same weeks, grieving -- we'd just had to put our family dog of nearly 18 years down. Try explaining "all dogs go to heaven" to a sad toddler before school. The center expelled our toddler on a single afternoon's notice -- no meeting, no warning, by email. Its own behavior policy promises a parent conference and a plan before it ever comes to that. We got neither. Days later, in writing, the company told us both that his behavior was serious enough to remove him the same day and that it had offered to let him return for the rest of that week. Both of those cannot be true. The records the center pointed to were kept in an app it had repeatedly told families was malfunctioning, and that I was locked out of for months before he was removed. Within a single two-week stretch, those records listed my son as three different ages, though he had been attending for nearly a year. On billing, the center's own director admitted in writing -- more than once -- that there were errors, and only issued some corrections. Then, weeks after expelling my son, the center asked every family to sign a revised disenrollment policy -- one that now reserves the right to 'immediately disenroll the child with no notice' and to 'terminate services for inappropriate behavior of parents or guardians.' Prospective parents should read that twice. I am not writing this in anger. A daycare holds something irreplaceable: very young children who cannot speak for themselves, and the trust of the families who leave them there. We were an easy family to be honest with, and we would have worked with them. Instead, the paperwork mattered more than the child -- and even the paperwork could not keep its story straight. I hope this helps the next family ask the questions we did not know to ask.

There is not much turnover, which was a huge selling point when we transferred to Brookstone Montessori.
