I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My dear friend Koko referred me to Ms. Judy and GVI preschool after her son had an amazing preschool experience at GVI. Ms. Judy opened her arms to my family and I, guided us through the enrollment process, supports us all the time and has ensured that our daughter gets the best of her preschool experience. Ms. Judy is an amazing director, one that is so humble, generous and kind. The happiness that her employees and students display is a reflection of the benefits of having a good director. Ms. Judy is very humane, she deeply cares about the wellbeing of her students and their families. My daughter is a true testimony that the director and her teachers are doing an amazing job with kids. I am really impressed with with the growth that I see in my daughter. Her interest in learning and reading has grown rapidly within six months. I can't wait to enroll her younger sister too.
To Ms. Judy and her employees, I say thank you for all the efforts that you put in to give our kids the best preschool experience.

I have been involved with Global village international Preschool for multiple years.I never had any negative experience with the teachers or the director, Judy Johnson.As a matter of fact,every afternoon my kids won't leave the building without stopping by to see Ms. Judy.
The teachers and management invested so much of their time and effort to provide a fun and loving environment.
As a mother with little kids , I was very touched when management gave me big boxes of diapers and baby wipes. I have seen the management giving away bags of groceries to families. When I thanked the management the response was"we are to help".

parents and grandparents beware!!! I have worked at Global village as maintenance for over 5 years, I was asked to maintain and monitored security cameras and to install extras, I have been asked numerous times to review videos,this last time I reviewed the video for Aug 16th 2021 because my toddler grandson who I take care of, had just started had a large abrasion on his elbow, when I ask what happened to my grandson's arm, nobody knew, I told Judy Johnson a director about it, she told me to review the tape, in the meantime my grandson became ill and ended up with hand-foot-and-mouth disease, so a week later I reviewed the video and found more than I bargained for,I was in total shock at what I was seeing, child abuse, a staff member thracking and cuffing a toddler in the head, and then grabbing him by the face and pushing him up up against the slide, impatience and being short with the children,unsanitary diaper changing, no gloves, not washing their hands and then grabbing other children to change their diapers without wiping down the changing table or mattress, I told Judy Johnson the director about it everything that I saw and then her friendly demeanor changed, like I just stepped all over her toes, I sent an email Judy Johnson and the owner Terry Gogarty with no reply, they came in and took out the cameras, took out the surveillance codes, changed out the Wi-Fi password and treated me like I was the plague, they also quickly changed the locks, you would think after five years of doing major remodeling and maintenance, plus freebies for the kids, they would at least talk to me, never stopped them before I found out about some dirty little secrets, I need to get ahold of cps and the parents to let them know what is going on at Global village international preschool 1410 South Laredo Street Aurora I will never bring my grandchild to another daycare ever! These people are sick in the head!

Mr. Krenzke’s work as a contractor (not an employee) was terminated when the school discovered he had breached our security system. Consequently, he was locked out of the building and a new security system had to be installed. Mr. Krenzke has since proceeded to attempt to smear the reputation of the school, its leadership team, and staff. As part of his vindictive rant he contacted parents, news/social media, and various state and local officials. The state licensing organization and county child protective services have each conducted extensive investigations as required by law and have found Mr. Krenzke’s allegations to be unfounded. Fortunately, parents have rebuked his false accusations and enrollment continues to grow. Other matters related this situation are being pursued by Global Village international through legal counsel and the courts. GVI is one of the few State-Rated 5-Star programs in the region and we cannot allow our reputation to be damaged by fals e and irresponsible allegations.

Hello there

My name is Mariam kante I'm filling complaints against Judy Johnson the director of the global village international school preschool in aurora. Hassane and husseine doumbia were student in the preschool in the global village international school. I am writing this letter to bring to light mental and verbal harassment they are suffering for the past six months by Judy Johnson.
It began about six months when I asked her pay for my twins shoes every day my twins old twins came home with no shoes or jacket I told them many times to pay attention to my kids belongs but it keeps going on at end I asked Judy Johnson to pay for my boys lost shoes. After that argument between us she showed her evil face to my boys . after few days later when I came to get my children she call me hey your son is so violent I looked at her I walked away before I got made, and again the next day she stop me again and said that my son hassane beat her until she couldn't do nothing by her self I knew she tried to put lies together against my son I knew my kids they cannot hurt no body. Few days later the therapist of the boys who visits my boys every Wednesday at school call me states that she observed judy she doesn't have any feelings for the kids I should move my kids out from that school she is not treating your kids well it looks like Judy do this job to make money but she doesn't have any feelings for the kids. I said ok I'm going to work on it. Thursday on 19 Judy gave letter she state in letter that she is going to move my son hassane in babies room in two weeks but the next day Friday on 20th I dropped off the kids in morning when came in evening my son husseine was moved to babies room instead hassane the one she call him names. I asked the teacher Why husseine was moved she told that Judy asked her to move husseine I was surprised because she told me she’s moving hassane why she moved husseine into babies room , they told me no Judy was talking about husseine instead I said ok, Monday on February 24th 2019 she runs after me again states that hey do you read my letter I said yes I did she said what do you want me to do with your boys I said nothing she started arguing. And I told her that I'm looking for school for my kids so she doesn't have to be worries about my kids anymore , she asked me when I'm going to move my children I told her when I funds school I will give her a date, she said no if I cannot give her day she will give me a date she told me Friday 28th will be your children last day into this school she chase out my twins with out notice I said whatever.
Since few months harassed repeatedly by judy she call my sons names, every time my children came home with bad words from Judy, most of the time she isolated my kids from other that is harassment. because she shouldn't call only three years old children violent boy ,she always call hassane violent boy please I beg of you I would love you to see my son in question he is very quiet son he doesn't talk much he doesn't want to play hard with no body that is the reason he has therapist who seeing them every Wednesday how come will became violent suddenly only at that school .
I want to bring it to your notice that such harassment has demoralized my three years old sons he doesn't want me to leave him at that school he always cry when I'm left him to the school .and I as mother I request you to kindly look into the matter and take necessary action.
Yours Sincerely
Mariam H kante
