She was so gentle with him. The classmates were all happy and playing in other areas in their stations. I work in mental health, and this shows me that when a child is struggling here, this school doesn't make a spectacle or shame them. Learning to calm down and regulate is totally normalized. This makes my mama heart so happy. Dropping off your kids to be with other people all day isn't easy, but seeing this loving kindness and support at KLC makes me feel really confident in my decision to have my kids here.

Ms. Hillery is rude to students and parents alike - even staff members in other classrooms are aware and alluded to this fact before we had the "joy" of experiencing it ourselves. My recommendation would be to pull your child before having them attend here for preK, as your overall experience would likely be okay (though teacher turnover in all rooms has not been great over the last year and a half).

NBCC offers part-time, full-time, summer and after school care for birth through school age. The…read morestaff is highly professional and very good at communicating with parents. They have taught me so much about how to deal positively with conflict, emotional and behavior issues in my own kids. The kids get lots of outside time, do field trips, and have classrooms where they are encouraged to develop lots of different skills in an age-appropriate way. Parents are encouraged to be involved in one of many events throughout the year including a carnival, halloween party, and things co-sponsored with the church in which the center is housed. We even attended a parenting skills class taught by some of the senior instructors at the center and learned a lot. Kids can sign up for optional activities like yoga, music or dance classes. They also offer week-long summer camps. Unfortunately Clintonville has far too few childcare facilities, so there is a waitlist for the full-time program. Sign up before you need it, or enroll in the part-time program while you wait. Openings in the summer and after school programs go first to current students/siblings/former students, so going there for preschool is a good way to get your foot in the door if you are looking for options once they are in elementary school.

But we quickly realized there were so many other reasons to love Primrose schools, especially including its staff. The teachers are so personable, professional, and confident. They can command a classroom and respect the kids at the same time. My kid has been going to primrose for about 2 years and in that time, he has learned to walk, talk, and express opinions. The teachers have commented on how much he's grown and how fun it has been to watch. I have to give a special shoutout to Ms. Morris, Ms. Patrick, and Mr. Blake for always being above and beyond teachers during this time. I have been impressed with the programs and curriculum Primrose has provided. My kid comes home telling me about electricity and recycling, or how plants grow or about a story they read in class every day. He thrives in their academic environment. Primrose has been such a support in my parenthood journey and I would recommend it to anyone who needs an elevated daycare experience.

Shannon & Ariel are so warm and inviting and excellent communicators. The teachers are absolutely fantastic--kind, attentive, and truly passionate about what they do. They made such a personal connection with my son, and I could see how much he enjoyed being there each day. My sons main teacher, Mrs Hubbard is a true baby whisperer. The facility is clean, safe, and filled with engaging activities that helped my son develop new skills even at such a young age. I loved the open communication from the teachers; they kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and detailed reports, which really put my mind at ease as a parent. Primrose provided such a loving and nurturing environment for my little one. I'm so grateful for the wonderful care they provided and the special bond they created with my son. I would highly recommend Primrose to any parent looking for a caring, high-quality early education experience!

After reading the negative review, I felt the need to add my experience with the Mill Run Primrose…read more I have two children 12 months apart, 2 years old and 3 years old, enrolled since birth with Tara's school. It's not inexpensive; in fact, it's about as pricey as it gets, but as expectant parents who have done their homework know, there's not a wide margin from school to school, and the several that we explored before choosing Primrose that were substantially less expensive...well I wouldn't step foot back in those schools. The kind of relationships that my children have built with ALL of their teachers trough the several classrooms they have been in is on par with the kind of relationship they have with their grandparents and aunts and uncles. The primrose staff is family to my children. Several teachers that ended up leaving primrose still keep contact with me on Facebook, and send messages of well wishes and asking how the girls are doing. Both of my girls are potty trained, know more sign language than I can keep up with, and are creatively and socially engaged beyond the level of which I could hope them to be in most any other circumstance. The moral of the story - if you're looking for an environment that fosters loving friendship, family values, and education foremost, and you hope to have your children more developmentally advanced than their stay-at-home counterparts...if you want to leave your daycare every morning at drop off knowing that they're in the hands of people you love and trust, the Mill Run Primrose should be your first option. Even after divorce and a tighter budget, I've never considered an alternative option. Do yourself a favor and go tour with Tara, Liz, and Katie and meet the teachers my children consider family.

We started our first daughter at Brooksedge at 4 months old, after visiting several different…read moredaycares. She started in the youngest room and moved up to the next room just before we moved to Montreal, QC. After 3 1/2 years in Canada, we returned to Columbus and I contacted Brooksedge again - as well as reviewed several other locations again, in order to see how Brooksedge compared now to other daycares in the area. This time we were looking at taking two girls to the center, a 2yo and a 4yo. I was excited to hear that the center's Director, Amy, was still in charge. She is there nearly everyday when I arrive to drop the girls off and many days when I'm leaving too! The kids all seem to know her and she is obviously very involved in the daily routines. Their pricing includes a morning snack/breakfast around 8:00/8:30AM, lunch, and afternoon snack. For the littler ones, the tuition also includes wipes! I visited a Goddard School nearby and was shocked that their standard tuition didn't include lunch - I would've been packing one for each kid everyday, but paying the same price as Brooksedge. The center is tucked in-between a small strip of shops and a residential neighborhood. I don't think the exterior is incredibly impressive, but the interior is fantastic! The classrooms are open and colorful. They have floor to ceiling windows in most rooms to let in lots of light, and they cover them with curtains at naptime. The back hallway of the center is painted with a beautiful ocean mural. Everything is always clean, but without feeling sterile. I'm finding that the girls are trying and loving new foods, improving their writing and communication skills and having a LOT of fun. Honestly, I don't think they'd have as much fun if they were home with me all day! I always said that I wanted to find a place that was what I would do if I started a daycare and they've exceeded all of my expectations both times our kids have been enrolled. In fact, I'm learning from them too! They're a true partner in raising our kids. I don't worry that I'm away from my girls while I work. Brooksedge is doing a great job teaching them other valuable lessons during their time away from me about peer socialization, respect and trust in other adults as authority figures, and independence. Also, I find that our girls try new things (like new food) that they wouldn't try with me. Some mornings when I drop them off, the oldest tells me to "hurry up and go to work" because they are busy at "school" now. Many of the teachers have been with the school for several years - we saw some familiar faces when we returned. The teachers are fantastic! And let's be honest, they've assisted in raising a LOT more children then I'll ever raise on my own. They have some great tips for common challenges at each age level and by partnering with them, I'm learning to be a more efficient and effective parent. Parents pay a staggering amount for daycare, but with a center this great, I feel like I should be paying more.
