The Children'S Home Of Cincinnati School Age Program

Didn't help my son at all. He developed more behavior problems if anything

Pulled my son from here after attending 2 years and not making any progress at all. If your thinking of sending your child here you should read the reviews and ask for testimonials from other parents on social media. My son said the following: School feels like a prison Always have to watch your back at this school. The staff lies Treated unfairly Food is horrible Not much outside time, or outside time is taken away as a punishment. He did say that some of the staff there was cool and did care about the kids,.thats why i gave 3 stars bc i feel that is very important.

I would give 0 stars if I could! My daughter has been going here for 6 years.And since it's turned into best points.I've had the worst service and communication ever. This is somewhere you're supposed to feel safe for your child for their mental health issues and it gets tossed out the window like they don't care. I was told they don't reach out to patients and give them reminders of appointments. And then shut down my daughter's case and now unable to get medication. How do you not reach out to the parent to see what's going on? Julie stated they have over 2000 Patience and don't have time for that. She will be off medication and she has a disorder that she needs this. I am beyond disappointed in their services and I will make sure I spread the word that they don't care about mental health for our kids. After reading all these bad reviews is Concerning.

For the price and 5-star rating of Costars, it was not the learning center I expected. Children were not separated by age, and my daughter started developing behaviors as a result of teachers frequently giving attention to the tantrums of much younger children in her class. She received formal preschool curriculum only when staff was available (maybe 2-3 days p/wk) and only during the summer prior to kindergarten, though she attended for about a year. The onboarding process was unreasonable and required multiple days of the parent attending with the child-- in my experience, the teacher seemed to use this as an opportunity to critique parenting more than anything else. In fact, on one occasion, I was called about an issue with my daughter, and I could not take the call while I was working. The teacher did not try to contact my husband at all, and my daughter was very upset by the time I was free to call. When I tried to talk to the teacher about this, she became defensive and critical of my parenting instead of simply agreeing to call my daughter's dad if I couldn't answer the phone. It was incredibly awkward, and we ended our enrollment early as a result. There are a few excellent teachers and staff members who are wonderful, but I would not recommend this center. Update: I spoke with the director and she was very receptive, so I'm updating this review to 3 stars. She noted that changes are being implemented to address age separation and a therapeutic room for children with higher-level needs. I cannot speak to those changes, but I appreciated the conversation and her openness to feedback.

Dr. Edgar is very inconsiderate and does not care about the mental health of children. My child had an appointment at 1:30pm at the clinic and was refused to be seen since we showed up 8 minutes after. Dr. Stephanie Edgar had staff explain that she can’t see us because we were late. All of this is very much untrue considering my mother showed up to meet me at the clinic at 1:20 and couldn’t sign us in because the front desk computer needed to reboot. By the time I walked in the computer was still rebooting and I had to wait to be checked in. I was only late because I was lost as gps took me to the front of the building where the school is and I didn’t know how to get to the back. Nonetheless, we sat for 15-20 minutes before we were told we couldn’t be seen. I asked the clinic manager what was the grace period and why would I even be allowed to check in if I was “so late” in the first place, she explained that they give patients 10 minutes. So, I then asked well what is so different about today because I wasn’t 10 minutes late at all. Dr. Edgar was very inconsiderate about our time and having to pull my child from school for this appointment just to not be seen. To have me wait before telling me I couldn’t be seen only lets me know that the doctor was already running behind from her previous appointment. I was told that I needed to be seen in person for this visit to then be offered another appointment as a telehealth which I asked for to begin with. Just a complete waste of my time. At this point waiting 6 months to be seen by Cincinnati Childrens will be well worth dealing with Best Point or better yet Dr. Stephanie Edgar.
