    Great New Beginnings of Newark, Inc.

    (1 review)

    My overall review of Great New Beginnings in Newark is unsatisfactory. My opinions and comparisons…read moreare based on my experience with Kindercare. The only reason I left to go to GNB was due to the cost for two children, but I know now that with less cost it's less quality of service. I want to preface that GNB is currently struggling with staffing issues, like most in the education industry. I acknowledge that they are trying to do what they can with what they have. However, it still does not sit well with me when I expressed my concerns that my child is not learning the educational activities written in the lesson plans and curriculum. They listened but I was not heard. They acknowledged and knew that the lesson plans were not being followed in our conversation, but I did not see much change after that. Pros * Clean and tidy, very new building. * Classroom setting, like public schools. * Live video feed you can access. Timed access. * Well written curriculum with themeves. But not followed. * Teacher's licensing and most of the classroom information is posted at the front door. * Great security * Uses Tadpole app. * Breakfast and snack provided. BYO Lunch Cons * There is a written lesson plan, but it is not followed. Other than circle time, it looks like it's mostly free play. * Teachers didn't even know my son was arriving for his first day. There was no cubby set up for him. * There is no artwork to take home, again reiterating motor skills lessons are probably not being taught. * The bathrooms are adult sized, with only one stool for washing their hands and for the toilet. Most of the time I was there to pick up or drop my child, I did not see a teacher monitoring the children use the bathroom. * Minimal update on the app. I guess as they get older there are less updates. My prior daycare had loves of videos and photos to share. If you are not watching the feed you don't know what your child is doing. * The teach used her mouth to open some of the kid's food packages. * My son wanted to get comfortable for his nap and took off his shows, which he put next to him. However, the teacher put them back on him for his nap. I don't understand the reasoning behind this. It didn't happen with the new teacher. * The handicap door does not operate as intended. * My child has told me multiple times that other kids are hitting him. The teachers did say that they are working on it in passing when my son was telling me who hit him in class. He still talks about it after we have left GNB. He still names the kids that hits and pushes him. * Most of the front desk staff are not friendly. 90% of the time you are not greeted. No smiles, just feels cold and uninviting. * No automatic payment set up.

    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.

    When my wife and I were looking for a daycare to place our young son, we found ourselves at…read moresomething of an impasse, due to part to our experiences. She grew up in a home daycare ran by her grandmother, and appreciated the relationships her grandmother developed with the children that were truly loving. I attended a traditional facility based program that was more classroom-based and therefore better equipped in some ways, but far less personal. Most of the places we visited in Delaware fell firmly into one of these two categories. When we found Little Stars, it quickly felt like home. Ginny Cahill, the director, answered all of our questions with knowledge, experience, and care. Her mother is the director at the other location, located off Kirkwood Highway, and prior to that ran a home daycare for many years. The values of the home daycare experience shine through into everything Little Stars does. However, it comes tied with the manpower and resources of a somewhat larger program. Inside, there are classroom "pods" that have walls on three sides, but on the fourth corner connect openly to a center area. As a result the children and staff members are all connected as well, providing many opportunity for sharing experiences and friendship building. The teachers know all the students, not only their own. My son was enrolled at Little Stars for 3 1/2 years. The strong bonds that he developed with the staff members and other children could best tell you the story of how satisfied we are with this facility. He was well cared for and engaged throughout his time there, and will miss it significantly as he moves on to "big kid school". Both Little Stars locations are well-run, organized, and safe places to enroll your children. The teachers take a strong interest in the lives of the children, and better than most daycares, prioritize learning alongside play. I have trusted my son's well-being to them for quite some time, and will continue to utilize their service for needed vacation and in-service days. If you are looking for care for your child, I strongly suggest you check them out.

    When I was searching for daycares Little Stars was my number one choice and a couple reasons why. I…read morewas recommended to go there by a co worker, Its family owned, my sons teacher is awesome and not to mention so are the other teachers who just stop in the classroom throughout the day to help out and they have good childcare rates. I also appreciate the fact that they hid my spot for enrolling until the end of the week. They didn't pressure me into coming to their daycare at the time of enrollment. In all they are good people and I trust the teachers and staff with my son who I love dearly. Don't hesitate just sign your kid up he or she will be in good hands! sincerely TB:)
