What Parents Say

Foresight Children Learning Center has highly polarized reviews with stark contrasts between positive and negative experiences. While some parents praised the caring staff and quick adaptation for their children, numerous reviews from both parents and former employees describe serious issues including poor communication, safety concerns, inconsistent management practices, and minimal educational focus. The facility appears to have significant operational and leadership problems that outweigh the positive experiences reported by a small number of families.

The communication was very stressful, never answered the phone and once I used the designated app brightwheel to reach out, I was told that it was ONLY a line for THEM to reach out to US not vise versa and I am not too reach out via app…. my daughter was bit by another student and I was not informed by the daycare at all. Let along the director came off as rude and aggressive. My daughter’s grandmother expressed antagonized energy from staffs on numerous occasions of drop off and pick up. They kept changing our monthly rates to what seems like was whatever was convenient for them. They also had us provide pull ups, which is not the issue but I expressed we do not use pull ups at home so if she could not be placed in them during pick up it’s appreciated, the response I got was that my needs are not considered for my child development, and since she was not fully potty trained she’d be placed in pull up for the teachers convenience. She also was picked up wearing another child’s clothes as well as once I was almost given the wrong child all in the same week. My daughter has been at this daycare less than a year and no longer attends for obvious reasons. But teachers were very nice excluding the language barriers.

Foresight is given one star by me yes and that is ONLY because of the children over the course of my slavery days at foresight, the children grow on you and you love them and tend to be fond of them. But that’s it that’s all. I came to foresight about three years to three and a half years ago and was amazed with the design of the place and by the “when I come up you come and they talked about Jesus” speeches given at every meeting. But after a while they became overwhelmingly unpleasant. Being fired(yes I put it out there because after reading this she will make it known) and ASKED to return so I did because I loved the children, over a period of time I’ve learned that absolutely nothing has changed about foresight. The children are still not learning, if you like a daycare where your child is being watched and not taught then omit what I am saying.....The children will never learn if you have a director or owner whichever is to be named, that moves kids from each classroom throughout the site. As well as new teachers every other week. How is there room for the children to be molded properly for grade school.As a staff member you are being video(which is common sense and fine) and audio taped as well. Yes the director will tell you she is audiotaping for the safety of the children but will definitely recite a conversation that doesn’t pertain to work to other staff members regardless if it was in a classroom or in break room. The owner is still unworthy of being called a owner. She doesn’t like steady rules, they change every week and will hire you for one job by the next week you will be doing another job. Anyone that is looking for a job can get hired..she hires people on the spot. And if she feels threaten by your will to stand up and knowing right from wrong she will find a way to get rid of you. Some of her staff or managerial team are not people persons and doesn’t know to speak properly to staff or parents. I don’t understand how a boss has to apologize for her team and their behavior knowing this and say “oh that’s just how she is” and not address them properly. Foresight is a rule breaker. No matter how much of a pretty scene it is this is all a cover up for the major mess ups. From the front desk work down to kids. Example, some kids are affected and capable of affecting other kids. Their method of handling the problem is to cover it up with a bandage and speak with parents upon pick up. When parents are to be called and child must be picked up immediately. Parents are told that children will go on field trips during summer but they don’t, kids are instead called ghetto and bad. This is why during school year if a trip is to come about parents are asked to go along with your child or student will not be in attendance. Foresight plays unfair, some staff is asked to clock in and out to use the restroom while others can come and go as they please. Some parents has to follow rules some parents don’t. Some good reviews are real some are not. Example T animal is the one and only Mrs. Christopher herself. The other two are on her team so of course good things were to be said. All and all foresight not a good place for children nor a good place for a person looking for a career. You will be sadly tossed around until you stand up for yourself. I would NEVER recommend this place for anyone EVER.

My child attended this school for 2 years... preK the first and I was told by Mrs Christopher the school was approved for kindergarten. I kept my daughter at that school and now that she’s supposed to be going to first grade...no one can provide me with anything for her to continue on. Now bc of the unprofessional director my child will be 2 years behind in school bc of her bday and bc I was completely lied too! They don’t teach the children any skills and they’re not learning! My daughter has been felt up by another student and she said all the teachers in her class were on break when it happened!! I immediately removed her from there. Ms White, Ms Perkins, and Ms Robinson were always professional and take good care of the kids I suggest they work in a better environment. I recommend this place if u don’t want your child to advance in learning

Not a good place for your children and not a good place to work. The teachers only get paid 10.00 an hour for doing to much and they have to clean bathrooms and wash dishes as well as work in the classroom. Update the owner and directors are liars please read the bad reviews because they are true, most of the teachers that work there now are rude because the good ones leave. The under paid teachers are unprofessional.
