Funny, when the home team scores a touch down a cannon fires off a shot. It is a tradition there that is LOUD and scary especially if you are sitting near it like I was. Preparing to watch a game here, you should pack a seat cushion because the stadium has aluminum bench seats. The stadium rents portable cushioned seats with backs on them. The restrooms are old but clean. The best part about this stadium is the parking. It is nearby, plentiful and FREE at most locations.

The environment is clean, safe, and welcoming, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing my child is happy and well cared for every single day. The teachers go above and beyond to make learning fun while helping the kids grow socially and emotionally. My child comes home smiling, excited to talk about their day, and clearly thriving. Communication with parents is excellent, and I always feel informed and included. Choosing this daycare was one of the best decisions we've made for our family. I cannot recommend it enough to anyone looking for a loving, trustworthy, and high-quality childcare center. Thank you for everything you do!

The project based learning allows the students to gain a much better understanding of what they are learning and as a result are able to retain that information. The facilitators are all amazing and show GREAT care for not only my son but all of the children. The entire staff from the facilitators to the administrative staff are really invested in helping the children become the best them they can be. We took our son out of a Montessori school and we travel 25-30 minutes everyday(sometimes 2-3 times a day) to bring him to iLEAD Spring Meadows because the school is providing him with the education that is going to help him to become a creative-leader that will be able to keep up with the changing times of today's advance society, which is something he just wasn't getting from his previous school. His growth from when he first started to the end of his first year was amazing. He is scoring higher than his grade level in math and he has been grabbing books and sounding out the words and reading them all summer. He is going into the 1st grade and I am so very excited to see his continued growth progress. If you are looking for a school that embraces technology, teaches your child (even as young as Kindergarten) not only the basics of computers but also coding, that allows your child to be creative and express themselves in art and dance, that works with your entire child (the social/emotional and academic), that takes the time to work with your child individually, that allows your child to be themselves and embrace and love who they are, that teaches them there are many ways of doing things instead of just one, that teaches them about the world and the many cultures within it and a school that helping to mold your child into the LEADER of tomorrow then iLEAD Charter School Spring Meadows is definitely the school for you. My son LOVES it here and he tells EVERYONE about his school and his passion for it. When my child is excited about going to school, sad when it is summer break and he can't go to school and learn and shows so much pride in his school that his 6 year old self basically yells it from the roof tops lets me know I made the right choice in bringing him here and that our long travel to the school is beyond worth it.

My son has been attending this center for a little over 2 years. It has been a wonderful…read moreexperience. I had previously had him at Kidz Watch in Perrysburg and then Bee Creative on Heatherdowns. Both daycares were terrible compared to here. Bee Creative sat children in front of a TV ALL DAY LONG. It did not matter what time I dropped my son off or what time I picked him up, the TV was always on and the lights were always dimmed. Kidz Watch was just as bad, with catty assistants who gossiped about me, poor meal plans (I was actually charged per day, per meal, on top of it my normal monthly fee to have my child here.) With all that being said, I didn't expect much from anywhere and figured it was typical. CDC is incredible. All the staff are kind and understanding and genuinely care about the children. I took my son on vacation with me for a week, and he asked me when we were going to go back so he could "Be with my buddies" LOL He has developed genuine connections with the kids and teachers. I watch him learn things, have adventures, go on field trips and grow into an observant, compassionate and caring child. The right daycare/preschool makes all the difference. I have not had a single disappointing experience in the 2 years he has been here. He will be going into kindergarten next year, but I will strongly consider this place as his after school care center as I work until 530pm. Thank you for everything you have done for my little man CDC.

When I asked them about this, their answer was " he did not like the food. They left him hungery all the time. With the short time he was attending CDC, he picked up some infection. He could not survive for a long time there. When we was becoming closer to the building , he started to cry. He is no longer attand CDC, but became mad since he was going there and still carrying this habit. For every minute I left my baby in CDC I regret and felt disappointment. Their first priority is not our children, but the money and the property. At the end, I decided to find another day care, I request them to return his staff back, they said they did not know where are they. I contacted the main CDC corporation office, who contacted them, out of the blue they found some of his staff but not all of them. They are not interested in listening to my concerns about why my child is mad and unhappy. They do not want any one to know about there '' generosity with my baby", they screen me from their facebook page, I am no longer able to write a comment, and they removed all of my comments. So they think no one will know about them. I strongly recommended to avoid going to CDC. Ex-CDC parent

If you're looking for an honest review instead of a couple of reviews listed by owners of a…read morecompeting childcare you'll want to listen to this. I in fact have a daughter whom attends this childcare. She has been nothing but loved on by her teachers in the time she has been attending. While the education and lessons are lacking I have begun to see an improvement in the curriculum. This change I've seen in a short amount of time since a tenured director / directors assistant step down from their positions and the new "agnostic" director took over. ( Not sure why a couple of "Christian" women would attack a person who is in search of her creator but anyway I digress. ) Another thing that I have would like to address is while yes it is true about the weirdo that had been found with child pornography did work at the church this news came out several years after working in the childcare and even one on his closest friends was shocked by the news never suspecting this person was involved in such activities. Each staff member that works during childcare hours whether teachers or administrators are vetted through a background check and fingerprinting process. All of the teachers I have ran into when dropping/ picking my child up from daycare have been very kind to my daughter and always have a story to tell about her day. To base your stance on the childcare because of one terrible, disgusting, loathsome egg is unfair. As far as the christianity of this childcare I can attest to the fact that they do indeed pray before meals and possibly nap time as my daughter always reminds my wife and I we have to pray before both activities. While I hope to see further biblical education as the new director takes over and begins to make the necessary changes the childcare needed so badly. The new director is approachable and pleasent to speak with she is always lending a hand to her teachers as I've seen her more out and about assisting the teachers as needed then I ever did under the old administration. She also welcomes suggestions for improvement from both her staff and the parents. She truly has a heart to grow and develop this childcare. As far as the price goes I think the price alone suggests that this is not just business but a ministry to serve the needs of the community. As you could could go anywhere else and spend 2,3, even 4 times the price to get the same care for your child as you do here. As far as the turnover goes here there is quite a bit of turnover but that is to be expected for any minimum wage position. The people that work here aren't in it for the money. They're in because they enjoy their work and take pride in where they work. And those who are there for the pay work there until they can find something better but they also have some very devoted teachers who have been there for 5+ yrs. The atmosphere of the daycare is much lighter and cheerier since the new director has taken over she even has taken the time to brighten the rooms up with some fun child oriented colors. Before I swear to you it felt like you were walking on eggshells and the tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. While the overall educational curriculum could be improved this is safe place where your child will be loved, cared for and fed for a reasonable price.

This is the worst excuse for an educational experience that I have ever encountered. It is obvious…read morethat Hondros could not care less about the quality of instruction, mainly because this class is required for licensure. I understand why a business would decline to invest in this type of class, as people only take it if they absolutely have to, but this level of incompetence is beyond any reasonable interpretation of a business decision. The reputation of Hondros is irreparably damaged by this class. I'm sitting in Real Estate Practices and Procedures right now. This is a required class to receive a real estate license in Ohio. I expected it to have little or no educational value, but the actual experience is far worse than I could have imagined. The subject matter is such that an average GED holder would not have a hard time getting a real estate license, so I'd expect an instructor that could manage to explain the principles correctly. The number of mispronounced words and incorrect statements by the instructor is amazing. It's been a considerable number of years since I've seen this kind of deficiency in any profession, let alone in an instructional setting. I'm fairly certain that students are actually being hindered by this class, and would be far better off just taking the test cold. Luckily for Hondros, the state won't let that happen. If I had any other option, I would walk out of this class right now. The instructor has been reading the book to us for several hours, as if this is a reading class for children at the library. Beyond that, she stumbles over words and cannot pronounce anything with more than 3 syllables. Literally, she is just reading the book to the class. I had not considered suicide until I took this class. If I weren't writing this review right now, I'd be contemplating how I would off myself the next time she gets to a word she can't read. I'm not even kidding; it's that bad. I feel like Hondros needs to pay a bit more than minimum wage to get someone a little better in here. They are clearly not hiring people with any sort of teaching or public speaking background. The instructor seems to be just an out-of-work agent that needs some income. This is just embarrassing. I've never written a review on here before, but I feel like I need to share this horrid experience with the public. If you are considering taking this class, I would consider another career. There are two other places in town to take these classes. I'd encourage you to go there instead, regardless of the cost difference. The extra money is worth it if you can avoid this suicide-inducing ridiculousness that I am currently enduring. That said, the facility is of adequate cleanliness, has plenty of parking, and is conveniently located. However, I can only give one star because of the deficient classroom experience.
