Thank you for providing such a supportive environment.

My children started here last fall after transferring from another location and I haven't been…read moreimpressed in the slightest. More than half the time classrooms are closed because there's no staff and it seems like a constant revolving door. Additionally my oldest was sexually assaulted by another child for weeks and staff didn't pay close enough attention to even notice. He stated that he continuously tried to tell staff but no one would pay attention. My youngest who is a toddler didn't transition well either and did not get along with the staff that they were able to retain. Both of my children cried every morning on the way to this place and every evening when they were picked up about just how bad it was. Professionalism here is non existent and it's clear all they care about here is the check you pay them. If you value your time, job, money and sanity I'd look elsewhere for childcare.

Children and teachers were engaged. My granddaughter started in the fall of 2022. The infant room was pleasant, but with each classroom move the center standards on a whole were sending up red flags. The center was dirty, curriculum was no were to be found, children nor parents seemed happy or engaged. Children were engaged in "free play" what appeared to be all day, with little or no equipment in the classrooms. Over many months I visited several times. My daughter, her husband, and myself had met with management in person and on a zoom call. Our concerns were acknowledged and not denied yet little was done to correct. Licensing reports reflected some of our concerns. I have worked in the childcare industry, in management positions, for over 20 years and worked closely with the licensing agencies. This Primrose is NOT meeting the reputation that primrose has had over the years. Every child should have access to quality early childhood education........this is not happening here.

We absolutely LOVED Primrose. This school and their pre-k2 teachers (ms. Mora & ms. Z) were beyond…read moreamazing. They truly cared for their students and loved them all. You could tell by the way they invested in them. My daughter thrived in their classroom. Without a doubt i know she is so ready for Kindergarten. If we were not a military family she'd be attending for their kindergarten program. Another perk is the fact they send multiple videos, photos and a daily report which said what your child did, ate ( which they include meals and snacks in their prices) and how they did overall that day. Keep in mind this is a PRIVATE school, which will obviously be more expensive then some run or the mill daycare. I refused to send my daughter to one knowing she'd just play all day with no structure. With Primrose, they have that structure that kids need to learn and thrive. Amazing. Just an amazing school with an even wonderful staff. Keep rocking it Primrose of Reynoldsburg. We miss you!

Our daughter has been going to Goddard almost her whole life. She is about to turn five, but…read moreGoddard has been helping us care for her since she was a one year old. The teachers at the school are very professional and so friendly. My daughter just loves them all and talks about them a lot. That hasn't changed over the years as my daughter progressed from class to class. She has loved every teacher, and perhaps just as importantly, the teachers love the kids like their own. I frequently tell my wife we are blessed that we are able to afford to send our daughter to Goddard. Before selecting Goddard all those years ago, we evaluated many schools. We heard about Goddard's positive reputation and when we had a tour of the local school, it was a done deal. It was just a great fit. Of course, as great as Goddard is, it is not perfect. About the only downsides I can think of are some schools we looked at provided diapers, wipes, and hot lunches as part of the tuition. Goddard does not do those things, but remains competitive on tuition. The only other thing I can think of is Goddard charges an annual enrollment fee for each child even if they have already been enrolled and attending for years. I am not sure why that is or if that is an industry standard practice, but I thought it would be fair to mention these things. If you are looking for a great child care facility providing top-quality education and child care, look no further than Goddard. Your child will love it!

Let's start by assuming this review will be up for a max of 4 days given the ownership here isn't…read moreactually present at the school but they really care about what people are saying about their school. I'm aware this is long but if you want the full story this is it. I've had my kids at this Goddard location since February 2017. After the almost 7 years there have been three different owners, the most current coming in November 2021. So we will keep it relevant. I'll start by saying we love the teachers here. Ms. Tessa, Ms. Alexa and Ms. Shayla are some of the kindest and nurturing people you will find in the field. They are the reason this place is getting 2 stars. Personally I think they are saints. When the new ownership took over they came in swift with a message to families about how they were here to bring a fresh change excited to be present and know all the families. In 25 months I saw them here 3 times - the week they took ownership, the kindergarten graduation when the director was sick so they had to sub in for her last minute, and one random day this past Fall. They also love sending info about their organic snacks. I loved dropped my daughter off one morning and seeing an 8 ounce cup of yogurt to be split amongst the 24 kids in the room. When I questioned this they added a note at the bottom of the snack email that their snacks adhere to dietary guideline sizes. 1/3 ounce of yogurt for a 4 year old definitely sounds correct, right? The old owners said tuition would never go up as your kid got older. The new ownership didn't mention any change in cost in their big introduction. A few months later we were told costs were being raised to give the teachers a raise. Fair. When my daughter was moved to an older classroom a few months early (we were told by directors she was ready and needed more of a challenge, but the teachers said there were too many kinds in the class and by JFS standards someone had to be moved) we signed a contract stating our tuition was staying the same. We got a surprise bill 6 weeks later with another increase and no explanation. When I questioned it I was told it was their error but it was increasing again. I had learned earlier about a 10% discount families received working at certain places (including hospitals). I've worked at a hospital for 11 years and was never told this. When I asked for the discount I was told I was a "new" family and couldn't be grandfathered in. I was also told the Lewis Center location with the same owners gives a 10% military discount but I wasn't allowed that either. I asked to speak to the ownership and I was given the run around, but finally got them on the phone. They didn't want to give me direct answers. I asked for a breakdown of classroom cost and was told it was at the bottom of my contact, but that was only MY cost, because no one here pays the same amount. I've talked to several families with a child in the same room, no other kids, no other differences, and the monthly tuition varies by a few hundred dollars. Mind you we've been here longer than the other families so you would assume we would get a decent price, but we actually pay the most. When I asked about cost and discounts they said their prices will raise with inflation and they can't give any more information. When I asked why I was never told this they said I was an "old" family with past ownership/ So I'm not sure if we are an old or new family, I guess it depends on how they can get the most money out of you. When I suggested they let "old" families know about their inflation raise rules they said they would "think about it." When I asked specifically where the increase goes they said teacher pay and a new app. I am all about teachers getting raises. Like I said they are saints. However I've had several teachers tell me they haven't gotten a raise. I don't know if it's true, but that's what I've been told. Tuition went up in August and I was told they were hoping to have the app in January. I was told I couldn't know what the app was called because they hadn't bought it yet. Then I was told it didn't matter because it was a social emotional learning app and I wouldn't understand. I guess my masters degree in child and adolescent mental health and 14 years as a child therapist would not prepare me for using a daycare app. To summarize: 1. Your kids will have great teachers, learn and be safe. 2. The cost you pay will not be the same as others at the school. It will increase frequently and by the rate of inflation. And apparently it goes to an app that 5 months later they still aren't using. 3. If you love to be insulted by ownership that isn't present despite their colorful emails about community because they love their Lewis Center so much they can't bother to show their face in Reynoldsburg, this is the place for you.

The classroom is beautifully laid out so the kids can move around, preparing snack or doing a big "work" on a rug. I would highly recommend CMC for anyone interested in full day child care and who believes in the beauty of a Montessori education.
