When we first went in for a tour, everything seemed lovely. After all the "school" is newer--looks aesthetically pleasing, etc. In the beginning (August), we received great reports in Class Tag...that our two-year-old child was doing great and a great helper/leader. We knew that about our child because as educators, my wife and I understand behaviors; therefore, we have made it a point since our child was an infant to teach her (behavior-wise/academic-wise). *Special note: we expressed to them that our child knew how to say and identify her alphabets (lower and uppercase); numbers 1-20; count; and could sign simple words from the age of one to the present moment.* We suddenly received a report from the director (after asking about her progress weeks prior) that our child was "defiant" and says "no" all the time. I asked for the specifics--it was only mentioned that it was during nap time. The next week, we received a message that our two-year-old was defiant and etc. So, my wife and I asked for a conference--no response! We also mentioned that we would work with them to make sure what they incorporate there was consistent with what we were doing at home; and shared what we do at home (after all, our child was not defiant at home). Additionally, we would get our child and her pull-up would be soiled. The next week, Friday, October 14th, we received a paper stating our child needs behavior therapy. I was extremely upset! I emailed them to express my concerns--no response. That Monday, I walked our daughter in: she followed the teachers commands to put her coat away, etc. In my mind, I am thinking: if she is defiant, she would not have listened at all. As I walked out, I received MORE paperwork...this time it was an article from online/aka Google University. I was at work bothered by it all, so I left work early to observe...or try to. I looked in our daughter's classroom--she was not defiant--and she did not know I was there. So, I told the director I wanted to observe--I was told "not at this time" and to come between the hours of 8:30-9:30am. Additionally, she told me my daughter has been asking about her dad. I asked if they talked about families and the director immediately said "you are not the first same-sex couple here--we do not judge here...God is the judge." I expressed that our daughter doesn't mention her dad at home and that when the time came, she would know her father. The director added that she felt our daughter needed to know her dad. At the time, I was puzzled, but went home and talked to my wife about what occurred. The next day, I dropped our child off and the director immediately gave me MORE paperwork about how our child needs behavior therapy! I did not read it until I left, but I ended up turning around to get my daughter because THIS WAS THE LAST STRAW! I walked into her classroom and she was sitting at the table with her peers (once again--NOT DEFIANT)....and she did not know I was coming. We took our daughter elsewhere for the day. When we all went home, our daughter was herself again! She was smiling, talking more...in clear sentences, and even told us she had to "pee-pee and poop..." and she did on the potty! Overall, it feels great to see our child as herself AGAIN! I do not recommend this facility if you want your child to learn/develop as the person they will be. If you are searching for a watered-down place to drop your child(ren) off to...without experienced teachers/directors, go for it! On the outside it looks great...and they make it seem that way, but in reality---it isn't! I debated on posting this because I respect people and their desire for a business, but parents should be aware of what they are getting themselves into. Our child could have been misdiagnosed due to their lack of understanding about behaviors and child development. Our child is 2! Defiant is a strong word!!! read more

Let me preface by saying that I am a certified Early Childhood Educator. I can attest that this facility is not it for your kids. From what I observed, pre-school is glorified babysitting. My child participated in the pre-k program and the teacher couldn't even pronounce the words in the book she was reading. The infant room is stimulating, but the caretakers are too overwhelmed in changing diapers and wrangling kids to "enrich" them. The director, Tammy Davis, talks down to her staff and kisses up to parents, offering services that she can't provide. She says they accept everyone, but "God will judge you" if you don't have the same exact values as they do. Once your child is enrolled, they rarely communicate unless there is an issue and then they give you packets saying that your child has a behavior problem (my child has been tested and no, they do not have any issues). The afterschool program consists of the kids watching tv or a movie. When the kids go out to play, they are not supervised well. My child came home with a goose-egg on their forehead. I asked what happened and they said that they ran into a pole and fell down. I never received a write-up or anything from the "teacher". I had to inform her the next day that anything had happened! There is a reason that there is no staff listed on the website. The staff is always changing because they can't hold on to anyone. The website doesn't even show any of the "classrooms". If the kids play outside in the afternoons in the summer/warm months, they don't give the kids extra water. My child was constantly dehydrated at the end of the day. I'd give zero stars if I could. I doubt there "facility" in High Point is any better. (High Point Family Daycare) read more
