What Parents Say
St Johns Children's Learning Center has highly polarized reviews. Positive reviewers praise the curriculum, teaching quality, and child development outcomes. However, multiple negative reviews report serious concerns including alleged director misconduct, inadequate incident reporting for injuries and biting incidents, uncertified staff, and accusations of discrimination based on race and socioeconomic status.
My daughter attended St Johns from the infant room until she was ready to start kindergarten. She was well taken care of and safe. she was treated well, nurtured and learned a lot. She and 3 other kids she went to St John's with have attended the Athena program in CCISD together and I think that is a pretty good statistic-my daughter was well prepared to go to school. Ms Gracie and Ms Adela are very good teachers-firm and consistent. I would recommend them. I have 4 children and only my youngest attended St John's. My other children attended other facilities but again I would recommend St John's with no reservation.
BE WARRY OF THIS DAYCARE!!! PEOPLE OF MINORITY BEWARE THEY TARGET YOUR CHILD FOR NOT BEING WHITE. The director, an older woman, tried to psychically assault me during a meeting today, she tried dragging me by the shoulder to a class room, trying to dig her nails into me. A lady of no education or manners, its really sad she gets caught in her own lies as you confront her. We Took our Child out after she tried to drag him too. We have video evidence and plan to legally pursue. Also sad her office staff did nothing but watch as It happened.They TARGET and target your child until you get frustrated and leave on your own. It's sad this is a CHRISTIAN daycare and they have the devil as the director.
WORST DAYCARE EVER !!! Where do I even start... well the first couple of months my children attended were okay then my daughter got moved up to the 15 month classroom and all hell broke loose. She started coming home with random bruises all over her head and only 1 incident report even though there were many cases. My daughter then started getting bit every single week and when I asked if it was by the same little boy the teacher said yes. I then got a call stating that my daughter bit 2 people and if it happens again she'll be suspended from the school for 24 hours. Mind you my daughter has never been a biter and ive never received a call stating that she's ever bitten anyone. I then asked if that little boy got sent home the times he bit my daughter and they stated yes even though that was a lie because I've seen that boy still at the daycare when picking up my daughter the days she got bit. My husband then had to go up to the daycare to speak to the directer twice (which btw she is not a very friendly person and always has to have the last word) well the first time he brought up the incidents she stated they were in the process of firing one of the teachers and hiring another one. First off why are you going to keep a teacher who your going to fire in the same classroom as my daughter, shes getting fired for a reason. Then the second time he went to speek with her it just seemed like she just didn't care. We then find out the teachers that are in my daughters room are two 19 year old girls who AREN'T CPR CERTIFIED. The directer then states they have one person at the daycare who is CPR certified. NO there should be one person per room who is CPR certified that is illegal. We then requested to see the cameras. The directer then stated we have to sign the paper and the pastor has to view it with us and he was unavailable at the moment. So my husband went back up to the daycare with my mother in law the next day and they stated for privacy reasons we can't view the cameras it's only for the pastors eyes it's illegal for them to show us which makes no since. That's my child I should be able to view what's going on. My mother in law who works with head start then stated that it is not illigal and the cameras are there for both the parents, children, and teachers safty. My husband then asks if they allow volunteers and the directer said yes, then why can't we view the cameras it's the same thing. Makes no since. Then when asking about the random bruises again the directer then had the audacity to continue to mention one bruise but forgot all of the others over and over again, when that one bruise actually did happen at home while all the others did not, which btw I also informed them about that one bruise when dropping her off so they knew from the start that happened at home, the only reason why she kept bringing that up is because she knew that was the only one that didn't happen at the daycare. Possibly the worst incident that happened at this daycare was when I received a call stating that my daughter fell and bumped her head and when I asked if she should go to the doctor I was told no she is happy now but when I picked her up that day she had a knot and cut on the side of her eye close to her temple which more then likely gave her a concussion and should have got immediate medical attention being so young and she now has a scar by her eye. Everyday she comes home we check her body from head to toe and when something happened at home I would mention it to the daycare when dropping her off. Then the pastor got involved. For one I can not believe he is a pastor . He is one immature hateful man. He then stated he doesn't care what we do we can take him to court if we want but he's not showing us those cameras. That just seems fishy. When we finally say then we're just going to unenroll our kids the pastor said "Awsome that's great" very very immature. Deff should not be a pastor. Deff don't take your kids to this daycare. I would give it 0 stars if I could.
The fundamentals and curriculum of St. Johns Children Learning Center is what caught our attention when researching and visiting schools. The progress we've seen our little one make in such a short amount of time is very rewarding. Thank you St. Johns Children Learning Center!
I've given this place horrid reviews before and they keep taking them off!!!! This is the WORST day care In corpus Christi!!! They treated my son horribly judged him off a hair cut and asked us to leace !!! I was never notified about school parties or functions my son missed his first school Halloween :( because he was singled out and targeted. If u are not extremely wealthy do not take your child here. They don't like ethnicity or anyone who can't afford an ocean drive address!!!!!!
