I had my daughter enrolled for 2 1/2 years (1st - half of 3rd grade). The first two years were…read moreokay- relatively smooth and I felt that the teachers and faculty genuinely cared for my daughter. At the beginning of the year, my daughter was diagnosed with ADHD and the school seemed reluctant to do an IEP or accept the diagnosis. I decided to move her to the local public school which seems to have many more resources and programs to help kids succeed at learning. I would say that this school is probably best suited for families whose faith comes first in their lives and whose kids don't need extra resources and help with learning. It's not a bad school, it just ended up being a bad fit for me and my daughter.

I've been waiting for a while to write this review but wanted to make sure I had my child removed…read morefrom here before hand out of fear of reprisal from the staff. So lets start with the facility. The building is very odd and was clearly not designed to be a day care center. You have to walk through classrooms to get to some of the other, and the office is just a desk at the entrance of the building. One of the biggest red flags to me while my child was enrolled here was the constant turn over. Just looking back through my emails in the short window of 6 months that my child was enrolled I received around a dozen emails regarding staffing changes. Sometimes it was the hiring of 1 individual or an email letting us know that 2, 3, or 4 teachers had left at a time. The turn over was so bad it made retail and fast food look like they have good staff retention. Next up, inconsistent communication or just flat out lies. There were several times where one teacher would say something, another something else, and the director would completely contradict everyone. This happened on multiple occasions. One of the more disappointing ones was and issue being able to get my child on a bus for preschool. We had to jump through several hoops and work very hard to get our child into the preschool program that we were very excited about through Olentangy Schools regarding speech delays. The months, weeks, and days leading up to him beginning this program we were assured by almost everyone on staff that there would be no issue getting him on or off the bus. Suddenly after about a week of him being in the program Barrington suddenly didn't have enough staff to be able to get him on the bus in the morning, even though we were given countless assurances. This is just one of many instances. TLDR: They seem to struggle keeping adequate staffing, they can't communicate properly, and they will go back on their word and act like it's your fault.

Please trust me when I say, do not put your children in this school!!! I wanted so badly to believe…read moreit wasn't as bad I thought, but the people who attempt to run this place are awful. They absolutely do not care about your kids in any way, shape or form- they want your money. Period. They are cold, impersonal and deceitful, and lack any kind of integrity or respect for the families who shell out a mortgage each month and those of us entrusting them to care for our Children for half the day. I have caught them in multiple lies regarding the monthly tuition, fees, among other more serious things, and they are hands down the fakest individuals I have ever met. Their curriculum is below the standard of most preschools in the area, and quite frankly I'm not sure what the kids do do all day. They do have an app where you can see what your kids have been doing all day, which would be great, but they write the same things for every kid throughout the day. Most days my kid took 2 hour naps... nope, my child never took one. Also never ate the food they said my child ate, and when my kid would bring home worksheets, I came to find out those were not completed by my child either, but by the teacher. They carry on sensitive and private conversations about children amongst themselves in the middle of the lobby/ entryway and would tell me how "bad" my child was each day at pickup right in front of my child, not to mention the other parents and children I noticed a decline in my child's confidence and self esteem in the time he attended this school, and it makes me sick that I didn't associate the 2 sooner. My child was constantly told he was bad, and towards the end of our time there, he would cry on the way to school because he hated going. He would beg me to let him stay home. And the organic cuisine they brag so much about? it's nothing more than generic packaged food that they try to make sound better than what it really is. You'd be better off buying it yourself for half the price. There are so many wonderful daycares in the area, do not choose this one, you will be very disappointed. They may look good on paper, (arguable), but they truly do not care about your children at all, it's solely 100% about how much money they can get out of you. (As long as your child is an easy and never poses any type of challenge for them.)

They regularly introduce Montessori skills and practice the lifestyle in every aspect of day to day. Our toddler has learned independent skills that enriched his daily activity, taught him basic skills and increased his confidence. His vocabulary and gross motor ability has thrived since he began attending. I also appreciate the low stimulation environment allowing the children to work together to learn and explore the world around them. They also go out of their way to also make holidays and life events special. They have both an outdoor and indoor play area which is key in ensuring children have active time every single day regardless of weather. We are thrilled with Guidepost and appreciate them being part of the Worthington community!

Our oldest is in the before and after school program (as well as the school-age summer program) and our two younger children are in the pre-school range. All three kids love going each day. In fact, during the COVID-19 pandemic, they have been SO sad that they haven't been able to see their friends and teachers. Not only do the kids have fun and love to go, but the curriculum at Teaching Tree is also top-notch. As an educator myself, it is easy to tell when childcare centers "fake" the curriculum to make it easy on themselves and their teachers. This isn't the case at Teaching Tree! I recommend the Teaching Tree without reservations to any and all in the Dublin/Powell/Delaware area. In fact, they may be worth a further drive than that! We are all looking forward to when the virus is more under control and the kids can get back to the Teaching Tree!
