I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Terrible. Teacher turnover rate is bad, the place is always dirty, the old lady “in charge” is always confused and never knows what’s going on, kids constantly moving classrooms, no learning, kids get hurt ALL the time. Literally anywhere else would be better. Would give zero stars if I could.

My kids have gone to WFG for years & love it!! I dont normally reviews places, but previous management wont quit giving the center anonymous bad reviews and I am just done with their negativity of such a great place. Some teachers are outgoing and some are shy. What I do know is my kids talk about the teachers and its all positive!! Artwork is everywhere and when i talk to the teachers they know my kids. Can describe them as good I can! That tells me the teachers care and provide my kids with lots of attention. Ive noticed changes from when Brenda has been in charge and when others have been in charge. Brenda is always bustling about the center while previous others in charge were almost always in the office or kitchen. That tells me Brenda is actually involved in the daily management of the entire program and not managing from the office and that means a personal touch. People come and go but when you see lots of positives from the owner thats what matters at least to me.

I enrolled my child right after the management change so I can't speak about before but can feel confident in reviewing WFG since we have been attending since July. My children and I love it! The center we came from was horrible! I couldn't leave my children there one more day it was so bad. All the things that makes WFG a great place for us is: employees are always sweet and loving to my kids, always get texted with a picture and description if my children get hurt, they text reminders of items we need, their foods are healthy and I think my kids eat better than I do when I am at work:) I have seen so many amazing changes in my kids since starting. They don't cry when I drop them off and actually lunge for their teachers at drop off. Makes me a little sad that they are ready to stay because I wish I could be with them all the time, but relieved to know they are building a great bond with their teachers. The classrooms are always decorated with art and I am always seeing cleaning going on. I also see everyone helping each other and working as a team, like they all like working with each other. Lots of laughing and the kids all seem so happy. As a single mom it makes me feel good to see a center doesn't have to be like the one we came from. :)

Would give zero stars if I could. Horrible place. I left after the staff that really cared was all gone (end of June). The owner Brenda is horrible. She won't tell you how much you owe her and won't do deposits for weeks at a time. So I would suggest never writing checks. Teachers are constantly yelling at the kids. I loved the management but it was all very sketchy when they suddenly all left after being the only consistent people in the building. The owner is never there and didn't even show up to the pre-k graduation! My warning would be to stay far away!

Where families grow has been a great place for my children! Both of my kids love going to school and talk about their teachers and friends constantly! You can tell that all the staff truly have a passion for children and love what they do. I had a horrible experience with my children's last daycare so I was very nervous about putting them into a new program when they could no longer be left with family but this place has been a blessing!

I LOVE this place! My child has been going here for 2 years and he has changed completely since he started! He talks more, is happier, and really loves going to school! He learns a lot and is constantly doing fun science/art projects with his class! The staff is very friendly! All members of management work hard to make sure you and your child are happy. They are part of the eat smart program and only serve them healthy foods, no frozen chicken nugget here! I would recommend this place to anyone with a child! I wish I had found them sooner!

This daycare is horrible. The children are not taken of properly. Children are fed nasty, burnt food. Children do not have the proper care they need. Management is a joke.
