I am extremely disappointed with our experience at the Governors State Family Development Center. My grandchild attended this program, and throughout her time there, she had several ongoing issues that raised serious concerns. There were frequent incidents involving the children, which made it feel like the kids were not being properly supervised. It became alarming how often something happened, yet there never seemed to be adequate accountability or explanation. Communication and transparency were also major problems. Parents and guardians are not allowed to enter the classrooms, which makes it difficult to see firsthand how children are being cared for. Additionally, someone is always calling when the children arrive and depart, which felt excessive and unsettling rather than reassuring. Another concern is leadership visibility. The director is never seen, which makes it hard to feel confident that the center is being actively managed or that concerns are being addressed at the highest level. Overall, this experience caused a great deal of stress and concern for our family. Child safety, supervision, and open communication should be top priorities, and unfortunately, this center fell short in those areas.
My child has been there for about a year and half. I love the sunflower room, and the other teachers because they are so attentive. The teachers are also very responsive too. Overall they do not raise any major red flags with me.
My children have attended the FDC for a few years now and they love the teachers/administrators there because everyone is so nice! They tell me that the teachers help them and they have fun learning new things. I love the atmosphere, friendly people and the level of respect they show the children as well as the parents! Highly recommended!
I have my two daughters enrolled, and I am so thankful for that. All the staff there is helpful and supportive. I am so glad that my kids love going there every day. In the beginning, my little one was nervous and made me worry about that. Then, because all the staff there is professional, they have supported both of us, so my daughter has been adjusting so well. My daughters and I are so pleased to be in this amazing center.
All three of my kids attended pre-school at FDC and it was a fantastic experience for each of them. The teachers and admins became like family to us. They truly care about each student and their dedication shows through each nurtured relationship.
