Garden of Eden Christian Academy

Nothing about this school is Christian, They are mean to the children, they watch TV all day, and when its cold outside the teachers have on jackets but not the child. Then they call you all day saying what accidents happened to cover their butts, brusies, bite marks, but dont call for a fever, they never wipe your children noses if it is running, or child is filthy and if you come early that is when they wanna change the childs diaper. The staff learns the times when you are suppose to pick up your child. Nothing Christian about them, its a good solgan I guess.

The facility is beautiful, clean, and state of the art. She security doors never work and any one can just walk in off the street. The teachers are not educated and speak and read ebonics. The student body and staff are not diverse. If you want your kids to be ignorant send them here. The administrative staff members snack gum when they speak and are very rude.

My children attended for 3 weeks. They fed them lunch at 1030 am but I don't think that they received any snacks because they were ravenous when they left everyday. My child list 4 lbs here. The font office staff is rude and ignorant. The doors are never locked so anyone can come in and kidnap your child. There is a facility next door for mentally challenged adults next door which is owned by the same is owner of GOE. There adults share the same playground as the kids. I wonder of they might hurt my children.

I my son attended GOE for 2yrs and I love it. Everyone is very friendly, my son came home everyday repeating something new he learned. I find that they answer questions in a timely manner. The facility is very clean and well managed. They know every child and parent by name, which makes me feel safe knowing that they are aware of who takes the children in & out of school. I currently live in another state and I plan on sending my son back there for summer camp. In all I believe this is one of the best daycare facility in St. John Parish.

DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE OUTSIDE! My 2 month old only went to this center for 1 week. I was floored when I picked him up and he was sleeping on his belly. - Ratios are not accurate. I was told a certain number and when I came there where the same number of teachers but an increase in the number of babies. - Due to the high number of babies it increases the risk of your child getting sick. They share the same swings, bimbos....except cribs. A high number of babies were diagnosed with RSV shared GOE in common. ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD.

GOE is not what you think...................their teachers are poorly trained and not educated. The smiles when one walks through the door is not real. I had to pull my 2 children out due to a lack of care and teacher ratios.

At GOE my children received the best of care. My oldest daughter attended GOE from age 2 to 4 years. I was so pleased to rely on GOE a second time for my other daughter. GOE offers a learning enviornment that is nuturing, safe, and 'Christ' like. Both of my girls have enjoyed their experience and have come to love their care takers and friends. Thank you to the wonderful staff that makes a parent feel secure while their child is away.
