Wow!! I am glad I am not the only one who feels this way. I have to agree with previous parents on many different aspects. First, the teachers are okay. Well the ones I have dealt with; although, they advertise and make it a great point to mention that every classroom has an actual degreed teacher. My child has been in two classes and not had an actual degreed teacher yet; their info is very misleading. Other than the teachers, everything is downhill from their. They hosted a trikathon for St. Jude several weeks ago.. it was very contradictory. They sent out info on bike safety; although, the majority of the kids were not wearing any kind of safety equipment. It was very dangerous, I was there and can say that from personal experience. I was told on private property they don't have to wear helmets. The building is in bad condition, the playground equipment (which is mainly indoor equipment placed outside) is falling apart, and even though they are one of the highest priced daycares the teachers still have to ask parents for supplies. While I cannot say for sure, the front staff is not the most honest and upfront either as compared to the teachers. I recommend choosing elsewhere.
My first child was enrolled at Premier CRP in early 2009. My second child was enrolled there in late 2011. The first few years, we were very pleased with our experience, but lately we've become concerned. While fees have gone up, there does not appear to be much reinvestment in the facility. Class sizes have increased, broken toys are not replaced, broken equipment is not repaired, and the playground needs new equipment. The annual increase in our fees is not reflected in the condition of the building or in the number of teachers available. Wherever the profit is going, it doesn t appear to be here. I am very concerned about the high turn-over of the last two years. I do not feel that the owner or director treat the teachers very well. The director does not appear to involve the teachers in decisions about classroom changes. When a teacher leaves, the announcement is made over email on their very last day, giving the parents little to no warning. Communications from the owner are often abrasive or hostile in nature. Overall, although our experiences with the teaching staff have been positive, I don t know that I would enroll my children at this facility if I were to visit today.
Teachers are really great for the most part-much better than anywhere else we've experienced. We have been very pleased with them. However, there seems to be a very high turnover with no notice to parents. I would not recommend this school to friends for that reason alone. Director is rarely there, and if she is, she seems very cold and uncaring. All that said, the teachers do seem to be wonderful, but you never know if they'll be there tomorrow, next week, next month, etc.
When my children had consistent teachers they were great and really seemed to care for the kids. However, there was a higher than normal turnover. I believe this may have been due to the director.who is very abrasive. With only a week notice she closed the campus my children had been attending. Fees that were paid by parents for the fall, have still not been refunded months later, even though the director said they would be returned. Almost switched to another of the campuses until I learned I would have to pay them the same fee again because it wouldn't transfer.
