    Extremely disappointing experience with this school from beginning to end…read more To start, they require children to undergo lead blood testing just to attend their summer camp, an unnecessary and intrusive requirement. More concerning, however, is their discriminatory treatment of children with IEPs. Both of my children were enrolled in the camp, but after I submitted one of their IEPs (at the school's request), they revoked that child's admission within a few hours of me sending the report. This decision was made solely based on their IEP. I had mentioned that they were welcome to call his current teacher to gain more information in regard to how well he/she was doing, but they didn't want to hear it - full admission denial one month before the start of camp. I would not, under any circumstances, recommend this school.

    My son is six years old and has spent 3 years in the Children's House Program and 1 year in Lower…read moreElementary. Shamima and Stewart (Lower Elementary teachers) have created an environment that nurtures curiosity which then motivates the children to learn. My son was initially a reluctant reader who was not pushed but gently guided. He self-motivated into reading well above grade level. He has always loved math and because of the Montessori program, has progressed at his own pace and is excelling. The teachers keep a peaceful, respectful environment where kids of all abilities and diverse backgrounds are made to feel an integral part of the classroom. The classrooms are bright, large and clean and the library is full of resources. There are smart boards that are relied upon to an appropriate degree. Tech class, Spanish, Music, Gym, Art are all 1x/week and are led by excellent teachers too. The student-teacher ratio is excellent also.

    My son went here for a little over two years. If my wife did not have to relocate because of a new…read morejob opportunity, we most likely would have kept him at this location until he was ready to begin kindergarten. The owner, Ms. Cindy, is very kind and reasonable. In addition, she is very knowledgeable in regards to early childhood education and has years of experience in the field. When he began attending this school, he was in the young toddlers classroom, before moving to older toddlers and then Get Set, which prepares three year olds for preschool. His most recent teacher, Ms. Kim, is a gem. She's been at the school for over 10 years and it is very apparent that she loves what she does. She's not one of those teachers who views it as a job to collect a paycheck. She obviously has a passion for working with toddlers, which is what you want when you're sending your toddler to a facility and you're relying on others to attend to them for 6-8 hours a day. When we were having issues with potty training, she gave us valuable tips that we practice successfully to this day. She also taught my son Spanish, among many other valuable things. If we could take her with us, we would. She is the epitome of what you want in a teacher at an early childhood learning center. While enrolled at the school, my son had an accident in which he broke his foot. I was irate as none of the teachers were able to explain how it happened. Ms. Cindy worked with us and we did not have to pay a dime for the medical expenses. There were a few other little mishaps that can be experienced at any childcare center. For example, we would send him with breakfast in bowls labeled with his name and during one week, not one bowl came home. This was frustrating because parents are required to label their child's belongings and you expect said belongings to be returned. The tuition is a bit costly and food is not provided. It's something to be mindful of if you're thinking about enrolling your child.

    After being at a daycare that was not meeting our needs, we moved our infant twins to Goddard. I…read morewas pretty nervous after having some not-so-great experiences to leave my babies somewhere else and was actually considering staying home instead. Goddard made our transition easy and enjoyable. We absolutely love it. The teachers are fabulous, the hours are great and our boys are progressing SO much. We also love the app that they use which allows us to see what they are doing each and every day. There is no better feeling than dropping your babies off, knowing that they will be safe and happy. I would highly recommend this center to anyone.

    I feel compelled to share my experience as these issues are still happening at Celebree Preschool…read moreof Pike Creek. My child went through this firsthand--classrooms are frequently out of ratio, and children are constantly moved around, rarely staying in the appropriate class for their age or level, which is disruptive. Management seems to be hiring anyone, as new staff often don't greet parents, aren't friendly toward the children, and sometimes don't appear prepared for proper childcare. Meanwhile, dedicated teachers continue to leave due to management issues, and unfortunately, the children are the ones who suffer the most. I hope these problems are addressed soon, because while there are some good aspects to the program, these ongoing issues are impacting the quality of care children receive.

    Hi, I'm a former infant/ toddler/ 2year old teacher. To say working for this team at Celebree was a…read moregreat experience is truly false. When working for this team, the male owner Cory Skidmore is very uncomfortable to be around as a women. He is very arrogant and belittled the team as if we weren't qualified while he doesn't have any credentials to be working with children at all. I've also witnessed him talking more nicely and almost buttering up certain employees but when he talked to me he was aggressive. The director Cashet Grundy is very disrespectful and rude to stay the least. When she comes into the center she is never happy to see staff or children, she would rarely walk into the 2s room but when she does she has a look of Discus on her face. Almost all of our classrooms are out of ratio due to over enrollment so If you have any children and think they are in there correct class is false. There are different teachers in each classroom everyday so there is no formality for the children to get comfortable. There are also days where we are so short staffed that the owners and directors tell us we couldn't get a break so they'd buy us lunch in stead. Me and other employees have called licensing multiple times and they have came and inspected but nothing further was done. I truly love being a daycare teacher and this is just the unfortunate circumstances at Celebree of Pike Creek. I truly believe if you are paying the amount you pay to give your children a good education with a love school community then I suggest you choose a different school because I truly believe Celebree of Pike Creek isn't the school you think it is.
