Summerville, SC Nov 10, 2015
I have used this provider for less than 6 months

My child went here for 4 months. Our experience has been two sides, the first 2 months seemed to be great with the last two months ending in prayer each day, asking God what to do. Our son loves to interact with others and he enjoys spending time with his friends, which he definitely got here. The turning point for us was the lack of constructive criticism with increased criticism. Our son never came home with a bad report each day and all of a sudden for a week, it was something each day. I asked the teacher what seemed to be the problem, her answer was very blunted and demeaning to my child where he could hear it and it shocked me. The lack of grace, compassion and patience concerned me. As time went on things started to go downhill. As parents, we had concerns with other issues surrounding the preschool program and decided to voice our concerns with preschool leadership and church leadership. I was apparent that our concerns were not a priority. As a family, we payed about the situation and no longer felt like this environment was beneficial to our young one. We continue to pray for this church in our community.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My child went here for 10 months and like the previous post, seemed to hate it. We never could figure out the issue, but red flags went up on many occasions. The director was never very helpful in any situation where we had to call and almost seemed to be pushing us out the door. We left as soon as we could find another facility and we have a happy child again!

Beware. Rumors of verbal abuse of children. My child was in the preschool for 1 year and gradually became mortified to go in to the classroom. He's always loved school prior and since leaving loves his new school. Go elsewhere! Not worth your time.
