Green Meadows Schoolhouse

Our infant previously attended Green Meadows Schoolhouse in Bexley which operates from the hours of 7am-5:30pm. On October 31, at 7:40am, 20 minutes prior to leaving the house to do drop offs and head into the office we received a phone call that they are short staffed due to illness. Given that they are out of ratio, only half the class could attend and our infant was randomly selected to not attend. I incurred as to how the selection process was made but I got no response via 2 emails sent. As working parents, we were expected to find alternative child care in 20 minutes. It should not be our problem that they cannot staff. The whole point of daycare is to have accountability and consistency. Check out their LONG list of violations too on the ODJFS website. I personally contacted them when I witnessed with my own two eyes that they had more children than the mandated child/provider ratio and got a false response from the site lead. I went as far as setting up a phone call with them to discuss the non-compliances and to better understand the go forward action plan. They assured me they were addressing everything (so we believed them and kept our son at the daycare) yet got cited yet again last week! The Owner and Operations Director have no communication to parents, many excuses and lacks follow through. There is not a way to directly get in contact with the Owner. You get rerouted through their Accounting department. What does the Accounting department have to do with my question or concerns as a parent? They can't keep the daycare staffed, constant turnover so it's hard for your child to make meaningful connections with the daycare providers. I sense the daycare providers are doing the best they can do given the situation. It's not their fault that they were blind-sighted by working for a poorly run daycare. I don't have any specific complaints regarding the daycare providers. In fact, I felt like they enjoyed having our son in their classroom.I don't understand how GMS is in business quite honestly. I am posting this to warn prospective families. Although we are still navigating through our childcare plan go forward for our infant, we are feeling relieved that we are no longer associated with this facility!

Do not recommend sending your children here based on turnover, lack of communication, and dishonesty.

My child and I had an amazing experience in this childcare.My child has a disability, but all employees treated him with care and love! Thank you so much to teachers and owner!

Terrible management and assistant manager. Toxic work environment. No communication. No prep time. Inconsistent rules/enforcement (some employees can wear hoodies others get reprimanded) uncaring attitude from management. Just bad bad bad. If your considering this place...don't....if your enrolled or involved already...get out. This place is toxic with a capital T.

Toxic work environment with terrible management. No sense of trust and no encouragement. Parents and families were the only reason I stayed as long as I did. You will not be surprised to see plenty of turnover.
