It has only been a month or so into the school year and I cannot say enough about this place. The teachers we have are just the best you can imagine. They care so much for the kids they have in the class. The administration is exactly the same. One day my daughter was sent home early from not feeling well and I had to call in the next day because she still didn't feel well. They new exactly who she was the second I mentioned her name! There are a lot of kids there so that was pretty impressive in my book. If you are looking to send you children to GA Pre K I highly recommend this place. If I was tortured to the brink of death to criticize this place I would have to say it is the parking. That lot is terrible but from what I hear they are stuck with it as they rent it from the shopping mall they are behind. I totally ignore it since their awesomeness overshadows that tiny issue.

My husband and I scheduled to do a tour last week. We were so excited because we heard great things…read moreabout this school through the reviews. We thought it would be a great fit for our 10-month-old son. From the moment we got there, the Director did not greet us very welcomingly. She seemed very rushed and anxious by having us there. It was a very awkward and uncomfortable tour. When we finished, we mentioned that we would like to get on the waitlist, as many daycares are stating that their availability is full. Her direct response was, "I would visit other daycares before making the decision or choice to enrolling at Goddard." I have never felt so rejected and disrespected of my time. This is not the way a first-time parent should feel about providing their child the best education/care. I honestly can say that this is an inclusion school, not diverse at all. Very disappointed!

Beware! The owner believes herself to be above the state laws for Pre-K programs!…read more Charges $165 per MONTH for lunch ($8 per day - do you spend that much on YOUR lunch? Can you say "profit center"? State guidelines are a MAX of $120 per month) Refuses to allow lunch to be provided by the parent for Pre-K programs, although state law says it is required to be allowed if any other class in school can bring food from home. Now she says that yes, you can bring lunch from home, but must STILL pay $80 per month, to NOT be provided any food! Yeah, profit center. She does not care at all about the laws of the state. She was asked about other options for low income families and lied to each and every person in Georgia Pre-k. State law says the state must approve any disenrollment, but Farah threw my son out today, while calling me names (possibly homophobic or maybe just because I am a young struggling veteran). What did I do? Explained the law to her that said she could not charge for lunch if the student was a "Category 1" student. She told me I still owed her money. That she could kick out my son because it is her school. If you ask for an accounting, don't think you will get something from a computer. No - handwritten scribbles. I have asked MULTIPLE times for a bill. Dont expect her organization to improve We have used other Goddard Schools - this one is horrible. The teachers here are amazing but the second you say anything about the ridiculous prices or the owner breaking the law *and yes, there is now an open investigation and this school may be on probation* she will kick you out and embarrass you. The owner does not care about your children. Only your wallet.

If Faith was NOT the Director and running that place, then I might recommend!!! This lady came in…read moreand brick by brick took out everyone that was good in that place. All the good ones either quit or were fired. I knew it could get ugly when the last director retired. She was outstanding!! I had no idea how the atmosphere would chance. My granddaughter was pulled out of there as soon as we were able to transition her somewhere else. Faith clearly has a big problem with other skin, complexion's lighter than her own, as well as Caucasians!! I am really hoping that KinderCare does the right thing and gets rid of this lady. She's not fit to be around children let alone adults.

Although a good school initially, Creme de la Creme truly started to thrive as a Learning Center…read moreunder the direction of Ms. Hudson. When Ms. Hudson assumed leadership, she provided an environment that was safe, nurturing, and inclusive for all children, which hasn't always been the case at Creme. My son immediately began to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally as a direct result of her implementation of an organized well-rounded curriculum, employment of competent, passionate educators who love all children, and holding staff to a higher level of educational excellence. Before Ms. Hudson arrived, there was excessive staff turnover, numerous incidents with staff and educators, and children were not benefiting from the advertised stem, music, art, and language classes. Ms. Hudson not only changed that, but organized learning in a structured format that focused on individual student needs and ensured children weren't overwhelmed. I also noticed that communication with parents improved under her leadership. She had several open channels of communication and any concern I expressed was addressed immediately and above satisfaction. Ms. Hudson was creating an environment that was safe for ALL children in East Cobb. I had confidence that my child would be well-cared for, safe, and that I would be treated with fairness and equity under her leadership. I do not feel as confident in the learning center now that she is gone. Hopefully they can find a new Director with the same values as Ms. Hudson. She really turned the school around in the short time she was there.

Review for Huntington Learning Center of Woodstock…read more Our experience with the Huntington Learning Center of Woodstock this summer was unfortunately disappointing--especially considering we had worked with them in the past, under a different director, with no issues at all. The change in management has significantly impacted the professionalism and overall experience. We enrolled both of our sons for summer tutoring and had initially agreed upon a discounted rate with the previous director for enrolling multiple children. However, that agreement was later disregarded by the owner, who insisted we pay the full amount--$5,000--upfront, even though no assessments or personalized learning plans had been completed yet. We clearly stated our intention to pay weekly while Huntington conducted evaluations and developed a structured academic plan. Instead of honoring that, the owner repeatedly pressured us and even interrupted one of my son's tutoring sessions--not only disrupting his learning but also directly questioning him, a minor, about how he planned to pay for the session. We found this to be highly inappropriate and unprofessional. Despite no game plan being shared and assessments still pending, she sold expensive books to our sons--knowing they had a credit card meant only for weekly session payments--and charged the books without our prior approval. Shortly afterward, she emailed us stating that services would be discontinued because we hadn't paid the full $5,000 upfront. We attempted to continue the program at the Alpharetta location, where the director initially had everything set up for us to start. However, after speaking with the Woodstock owner, he reversed course and refused to work with us as well. We then requested the academic assessments we had already paid for. The owner first refused to provide them, and after we pointed out that the assessments were conducted during paid sessions, she reluctantly agreed to send them but said she would not explain the results. We told her that was fine--but we never received anything. Fortunately, we are now working with a different tutor outside of Huntington. While his hourly rate is slightly higher, the total time built into his program is less than half of what Huntington wanted to charge us $5,000 for--and we are already seeing amazing results. After this experience, my older son even admitted that Huntington seemed to intentionally move slowly to extend the timeline and charge for more sessions. We're sharing this review to help other families make an informed decision. Our past experience with Huntington Woodstock was smooth and productive under the former director, but since the change in leadership, our experience has been marked by broken agreements, unprofessional behavior, and poor communication. We're relieved to have found a more effective and transparent alternative.

As a former educator, I am appalled at the unprofessional and rude attitude displayed by the…read moredirector at the Woodstock GA location. Conferences to review the initial assessment were scheduled and then cancelled on two consecutive days. The staff is evidently not privy to her schedule to assist them when they are scheduling conferences or she approved them (one employee put me on hold to speak with her about availability) and then had staff call me to reschedule due to a meeting one day and "administrative" duties the next. When she called at my request so that a schedule could be resolved for the conference she was rude, stated that conferences were never scheduled before noon ( I was offered several 11:30am slots or from 9-3 on the second day), and stated that having the assessor involved in the conference was not the way they did things even though that was a request that was granted when I scheduled/rescheduled on both dates. I questioned why the communication between her and her staff was so lacking and this made her mad. She said that now the assessor would not be in the conference. I stated, while being rudely talked over repeatedly, that none of this was shared verbally or with a brochure when I iinitially contracted for services and that as educators we look at the whole child to assess strengths and weaknesses so it was important that the person who assessed him provide feedback on demeanor, attentiveness, etc. during assessment. She (the director) had never even met the child. She never offered a time/date for a conference. I stated that this was not in the child's best interest and that I'd just like my money back and she could keep the assessment results. She said no and that I could pick up the results(no conference for explanation or suggestions). She then said "I have another conference and hung up on me. If this is indicative of how Huntington works then my professional advice is to steer clear of them if you want help for your child.

This school has been a godsend for us…read more When my daughter was 2 years old, we knew it was time to put her in preschool, even though I am a stay-at-home mom. We were led to Legacy Christian School by a friend and it was the BEST decision we made. Legacy follows the ABEKA program and my daughter quickly learned to read and spell - which was where I excelled in at school so I like it (but I am biased). They also prepared her for basic math by learning "tens house" and "twentys house" etc all the way to 100. My son is there now and the same thing. He loves school.

Her teachers, Ms. Melissa and Ms. Rama, are truly a Godsend. When our child first started, she didn't know English, but the teachers made sure she felt comfortable, supported, and included from day one. Their patience, care, and encouragement have completely changed her attitude toward school. She was never interested in going before, but with these two wonderful teachers, she now looks forward to it every day. She is now able to converse well in English, has started showing interest in reading and writing, and is more disciplined than ever before. The director has also been incredibly friendly and gave a personal touch to all of our conversations. She made onboarding so easy and stress-free, which really helped us feel comfortable from day one. We are so grateful to the entire team at Primrose for creating such a nurturing and supportive environment. Highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a place where their child will thrive!

I had an outside person come in to observe who witnessed teachers humiliating my 3 year old (stopping him, calling attention to the entire class, and having him make a public apology) for a minor and accidental incident.

It is our last year at parkview and it saddens me. I will forever be grateful for the amazing academic advantage they have given both of my children and the emotional intelligence to be kind and empathetic.
