Reviews of Gretchen's House Childcare Center
"My son went here for a year while I was in graduate school. They are very open and direct about the curriculum, and I love how clean it is. My son did struggle a little bit at the start, with our first language not being English, but they were supportive all along. Betsy and Q were great him, and he loved his experience. He was enthusiastic going there every morning, quite rare at the time. It was not without incident, but that's expected with kids of that age hanging out together - but the transparency in resolution, the weekly reports, the photos they share to parents, that's what counts!"
"If I could rate this place a 0/10 I absolutely would. Let me first start off by saying I’ve been working for this company since April 2022 and just recently left last week. Staff are rude and are very messy. They offer you a sign on bonus but it comes with a lot that they don’t express to you. I came into my position already being a college student so that tells you I need some type of flexibility for me to be able to commit to my classes as well. I dropped down to part time last semester and it was totally fine. This semester showed me that I needed a second job being that each semester in college is different and subject to change. Being in college doesn’t stop any bills or responsibilities. I spoke with the director of Dhu Varren location and after are talk she stated that my plan to work 1 day or 2 days out the week was fine. As a director I feel that as if you should have good communication skills everything should be expressed and stated from the jump. But obviously that’s not the case working for some companies. I should’ve been told oh if you make this decision that we would take your sign on bonus back but it wasn’t expressed at all. Long story short they went behind my back and took $650 out of my check and left me with $148 dollars. Remind you I worked 60hrs the last two weeks just to had receive a $148 dollar pay check. Please be mindful of how they are before coming to work here. I didn’t have a good experience and I am very upset. Lack of communication have me in a hole as we speak and I have to figure out how I will pay my bills all because a company played with my check without telling me."
"My son went to this day care center for 5 years. He said he "likes most of the teachers there, but some teachers are kind of mean, not very mean". The teacher for his infant-toddler periods was awesome. We all liked her. However his preschool experience was not good. In those years he was bullied by another kid for a long time but the teacher did not take care of that and did not tell us. My son was too sad to tell us until he was in kindergarten. It seems that the management in GH puts a lot of weight on the teachers' educational history and certificates. But from a parent's perspective, being nice and patient with the kids and really loving them are usually more important."
"Evidence-based approach to supporting child development. It's a big center but feels like home. All the teachers and staff are loving, patient, skilled. I've heard it's a good employer, turnover seems very low- we haven't seen a teacher leave in the almost 3 years we've been there. Both my kids love it."
"Great place! Warm and caring staff. Clean, modern, and kid friendly facility. Well run."
