My daughter has been with Scottsbury Daycare since she was 6 months old…read more Ms. Fazi takes the best care of my daughter like she were her very own. Every morning when I drop off my daughter she almost leaps into Ms. Fazi's arms with the biggest smile. As a single late in life and first time mom, Ms Fazi's loving guidance and support with my daughter has been invaluable. I see the positive influences of Ms. Fazi's child-care in my daughter every day. Scottsbury Home daycare is a clean, safe and welcoming environment that I am proud to send my daughter to during the week while I work. I will be forever grateful to Ms. Fazi for being in our lives.

My daughter has known her ABCs since she was 1 and also can identify all of her letters. She knows her numbers and communicates well. I was nervous to put her in daycare but Fazi sent me updates throughout the day to keep me comfortable, and she always communicates with me. I'm so glad we found this daycare center.

For an entire year, my daughter was denied a vegetarian meal, despite my providing a doctor's note…read moreand repeatedly informing staff of her dietary needs. Gloria was the staff member responsible for not providing the meal, and this was not a matter of miscommunication--it was a consistent disregard for both medical and parental instructions. In addition, I have witnessed and experienced targeted treatment toward my children, particularly my youngest. For example, when another child physically harmed my 5-year-old, the incident was overlooked. However, if my daughter made a verbal remark, it was treated as a serious offense. This pattern of inconsistent discipline, favoritism toward certain children, and a dismissive attitude toward others raises serious concerns about inclusivity, fairness, and possible racial bias. In my observations, Gloria frequently displayed a rude and unwelcoming demeanor toward children she did not favor, while showing preferential treatment to others. This environment does not reflect the values of respect, equity, and inclusion that should be expected in a setting responsible for the well-being and development of children.

I had a lot a of anxiety bringing the baby to care but the management team and the infant teachers were nothing but supportive and welcoming which helped my family have a smooth transition back to work. I love the activities in both the infant classroom and the toddlers and twos programs. I have noticed my oldest picking up with his speech and other skills so fast and I owe it to this center. I also love the community feel of this school. Between events and other ways the school has gotten involved to help others, my family and I are just so happy to be apart of it. Ultimately, being able to wake up every morning and watch my oldest excited to go to school is priceless!

My family has deep roots at Barnesville School of Arts & Sciences. My now 33-year-old son attended…read morefrom 2nd through 8th grade, and today my 12-year-old grandson is a student there. We also enrolled three additional children just last year. Having experienced the school across generations, I can say with confidence that Barnesville has remained true to something very special. I have been so impressed with Barnesville's ability to preserve its unique character while continuing to grow and evolve. In a time when so many schools feel increasingly standardized, Barnesville still feels deeply personal, intentional, and rooted in a genuine love of learning and childhood. There is a warmth to the community that is hard to describe but immediately felt. The teachers truly know and care about each child--not just academically, but as whole individuals. That kind of attention creates confident, curious, and kind students. What stands out most to me is the balance the school achieves: strong academics paired with creativity, structure alongside freedom, and a respect for tradition without feeling outdated. It is rare to find a place that nurtures both the intellect and the spirit of a child so thoughtfully. For our family, Barnesville is more than a school--it's part of our story. We are incredibly grateful to be back and to see the same values and magic still alive for the next generation.

Teacher turnover is high. Administration lacks experience and is not professional…read more Academics are lacking. We were there from 4th -8th. If had it to do over again definitely not ok for middle school. One middle school teacher never graded work and when asked handed me a folder of four papers nothing graded. They let in many kids with issues without having the proper counseling. Language teachers were some of the worst my child ever had.

The park is nice, and the pool is clean, however, the staff are absolutely ridiculous. The…read morelifeguard would not let my son (6 year old) swim, with an adult, in 3-4 feet. Then we got a snack from the snack bar and she made him go eat by himself in the grass section behind the pool "because of ants". My family is visiting from out of town, we are members of a pool at home and regularly go to the grandparents lake house. On Saturday my son was swimming from float to float by himself at the lake! My son is also on the swim team! I was completely fine with how he was swimming, he was with his uncle who is an adult, and there was almost no one at the pool! The manager embarrassed my son, crushed his confidence, and took the opportunity to override my judgement as a parent, saying she would not allow him to use 7/8 of the pool without a life jacket. She never asked me any questions and she never came and spoke to me, she just had another lifeguard tell me what she had decided. Absolutely disappointing. She should have expressed her concern or fear to me, discussed it with me, and asked me about his history with swimming, and then let me decide. Would I really let my son "actively drown"? Absolutely ridiculous.How she handled it was immature and cowardly and has affected our overall stay (we were going to go to the pool every afternoon).

The handbook also stated after 10 days you will be charged a late fee not that care is immediately closed. Brittany, nor did Ruthie mention this is the only way they communicate to parents via the B/A program, I was informed this was a payment option. When I asked Ruthie what can I do now since I was to start the 27th and the communication was obviously off. Ruthie became rude. I asked if there was anything I could do, Ruthie stated she went through the emails and it wasn't mentioned in writing, she also stated she removed my child from the roster of the school August 23rd. I found those three individuals rude, very unprofessional and unethical by taking the $100.00 enrollment fee, and deciding what communication was is important to them. Don't take their word, take it in their writing. Obviously, it's the $$ they want.
