For all my Yelp followers and local fans, I'm back at it again with another review, I'm like the…read moreDos Equis guy... I don't always write reviews on schools but when I do it's going to be about the Sunshine House Where do I begin? June 2023...just touched down in GA from Los Angeles, don't know a single soul in the Peach state and moved out here from an area that has a very educated driven school system (Arcadia), yup if your from CA you'll know that it's #2 best place to teach, #4 best school in California and #38 best in USA, their high school has graduated 100% of their class 3 years in a row with over 3.5gpa average...Aiko was in that type of school system, so my expectations were against me moving to a small city of Grayson. June 2023 touched based in GA by early July I ran over to a few other pre-k nearby and let's just say I was not impressed, matter of fact I was really considering just not enrolling my daughter in school all together until she was like 11, really it was that bad I was willing to take my chances. No joke I entered a preK nearby without being buzzed in cus a little kid about 7 yrs old just ran and opened the door for me, yah no we ain't doing that. I was so conflicted, I needed her to continue being social, learning and most importantly I need my space! Quick 411 on our daughter (Aiko) she's a diva, she wants to be a model and makeup artist, she already decided that at 5! She HATES school with a passion, you know how you feel waking up on a Monday morning to go to work? Yeah...that's her everyday! Needless to say the Lord likes to test my wife and I with some patience every morning, us real parents know what that is like, Aiko get your A** up now it's 7:54 and we gonna be late ! Jp baby we love ya :) Drive by Sunshine House on a weekly basis and decided to pop in one day just to ask about pricing/availability, the usual, already not expecting much based on the other school visits, but The VIBES!!! Shoot I felt like I walked into a Waffle House, 2 gals up front greeted me with a smile, some info and even called out the director (Ms Bartlett) who was also super nice and welcoming (Southern Hospitality) I guess does exist still, anyways she gave me a quick tour of the place, handed me some paperwork, told me some pricing and the rest is history...well not kinda... Fast fwd about 1.5 months school is about to start in 1 week, omg I forgot my packet! Aiko isn't enrolled! My wife thinks otherwise cus I'm a typical husband who lied about getting everything done! I offer to go grab her Starbucks but in reality I rush over to Sunshine House prayingggggg all the spots aren't taken, the girls upfront are laughin when I tell them what I've done, they say uhhhh I think it's to late but let me ask the director...yup you guessed it! They were still able to take her! They not only saved a spot for her but they saved my marriage! Now, if you've made it this far you've learned that the other schools in the area suck, trust me I'm the most honest guy I know. You also probably understand the ladies who work here are friendly, you also understand it's really dangerous to lie to your wife. Now the fun stuff. The teachers! Ms Cindy and Ms Jess or Ms Jazz, according to Aiko So remember I mentioned earlier Aiko hates school, yeah she's that kid. Cries everyday! Every teachers words, says shell get used to it, naw I know my kid she ain't gettin over nada! Well, Ms Cindy and Ms Jazz really play a huge part in Aikos school life, though she still cries time to time she is much much more willing to participate so that tells me they have left an imprint in her heart to gain her trust, for that alone it gives me peace and mind which I believe is the important attribute for any parent to require from a school/teachers. Aiko made her first best friend here also, Tallulah, shout to ya girl! Oh, side note Ms Jazz and Ms Cindy secretly run a hair braiding business during school hours cus I send Aiko to school with her hair down and at least once a week she comes back with hair hair lookin fleek! As you can hear, Aiko really enjoys her time here, lots of friends, nice staff, activities, memories and most importantly no kids opening a coded door for you, what else could you ask for in a school? My Wife likes to remind me how I almost forgot about our daughters education, Im a man of faith, I see it more as if the school was meant to be God will make a way, he did and I'm so thankful everyday, this place has been a true blessing for our family and Aiko, she's made so many friends and memories here in the past year so with that being said... I recommend anyone who is looking for a PreK to check this place out first, or last (if you are a risk taker like myself) the staff is awesome, facility is always clean, friendly parents and they are always engaged in activities. Your child/children will definitely leave better than they arrived because they treat your children with love!

The school looked nice so I filled out an application for my son to attend for the summer session…read more They told me it would take 1-2 weeks to know if he was accepted. I called twice and was told his application was with the director and they would get back to me. It's now going on week 6 and I still haven't heard back from them. By week 3 I had to take off of work to go tour schools and find my son somewhere else to go.

So a few months after downloading our son my wife and I are hit with a typical two-working-parent…read moredilemma: the kid's sick, his normal daytime provider (grandma) is sick, neither one of us has any vacation time as we both burnt it in the initial "keep the kid alive for a few months" phase right after birth. I call my boss and he reminds me that one of the perks of working for our corporate place is assistance in these matters. I hunt through our intranet and find a phone number to call - they hook me up with A Friend of the Family (whom we get corporate rates through). I'm a little wary, right? Some stranger is going to come to my house the next day and watch my little bundle of mucus while I head to work? AFotF made me feel comfortable with the idea. They were very reassuring and calming over the phone. The actual sitter called me that evening to get the run down on our schedule and what was going on. I missed the arrival of the caretaker the next morning but when I got home she was sitting in a chair, reading a book while watching the sleeping bundle through the baby monitor. She gave me a full report on everything that happened that day and had a big document all filled out with all the details. I was very happy with the service and am so glad our company provides this as a benefit.

We used this service for many years in the past as both of us had full time jobs and there were…read moregaps where we needed help on occasion with the children. Overall my experience was mixed as we had several different people assist, some good others not so much. While the proper care of our children was the first and primary concern and I might have provided them 3 or 4 stars, based on that alone, However, I have recently run into another issue that prevents me from rating the any higher than a 2 and I had to calm myself to give them that. Evidently when you sign up for the service you are agreeing to automatic annual billing. While I accept fault that I missed that in the contract and that I don't check my credit card statements in enough detail, I have a hard time understanding how they can feel justified charging us for 6 years for services not rendered. I don't know why they don't send at the very least you an email every year to remind you that they will be charging you. Well actually I guess I do. Unfortunately I did not notice this until this year when I picked up on the charge on my AmEx. Of course when I found out what the charge was for, I went back to find it had been charged every year. Of course, I requested a refund. Even though we have not used them for all that time, they would only refund the most immediate billing (which they are required to by AMEX agreement). I for one would never use them again. I have a disdain for any company that requires automatic renewal and see it as very underhanded and manipulative at the least. If they are so confident in their product, why don't they just send you a renewal request every year and let you decided if you want to keep them (or even need them). They are obviously not that confident. If you use them, read all the fine print and watch your credit card statements.

My little boy loves his Pre-K class at New Odyssey! I was that mama that went to MANY preschools…read morebefore deciding where to send my son. He attended a Mother's Morning Out last year, and I thought GA Pre-K would really help prepare him for kindergarten next year. I was incredibly impressed with New Odyssey's open door policy to visit the school. They were the only preschool that I visited that did not require an appointment to preview the Pre-K classrooms. After visiting the school and seeing the wonderful Pre-K classrooms, they advised that I bring my son to also visit to see how he liked the school. I greatly appreciated that kind offer. I am thrilled that New Odyssey is the Pre-K program that we chose for our son Jaxon. I am grateful for the incredible care and learning that he is receiving from his teachers Ms. Laurie and Ms. Kelly. They are just perfect! I also appreciate that any time I call to ask a question, that all of their staff from their director to their Asst. director etc. are more than happy to answer any questions that I may have. When I pick my son up each afternoon and ask him how his day was, he literally does a happy dance in my car, LOL!! That makes my heart happy. Thank you so much New Odyssey for giving my little boy a loving, learning experience.
