Foundations for the Future

What a difference a great school has in a child's life. I have a child(ren) that attend Foundations for the Future and they are amazingly happy, and secure in their environment. They are excited to go to school each morning. The teachers are amazing and have firsthand knowledge of each child. The administrative staff is organized, focused and very personable. We are greeted each morning by name with a warm wonderful smile by each and every teacher. There is no way to measure the impact this fantastic school will have in my children's lives. Thank you for all you do and for all the many ways you truly bring the children, teachers and parents together for the common goal of educating and loving each child individually.

My daughter is in their 2 year old program now. She will not be returning once the term is up at end of year. She has only been in attending the school since late July. I feel as parents we've horribly failed her and believed the hype. The front lobby is amazing but it stops after that. The owner is a liar with zero personality. I could go on and on about the problems we've had in such a short period of time. My daughter attended another school in Cherokee county previously for over a year and never had a single complaint. We moved so she had to change schools. What a mistake. I'm currently interviewing other schools in the area and will not renew for the new term next year.

My 18 month daughter and 4 yr old son recently began attending Foundations for the Future! I could not be more impressed with the teachers, administrators, curriculum, etc. I wish I had discovered this school several years ago. I will send both of my children to Foundations for elementary school. I am so impressed (and continue to be every day). Best of all, I know my children are safe and happy.

We have been a Foundations family for 3 years now and we love this school! From the moment we entered the building for the first time, I was overwhelmed with the feeling that we were home. The staff is friendly and genuinely cares about my children and the teachers are fantastic. We get daily discovery reports via email that show/tell us what the kids were learning - and they are even able to send these emails to my children's grandparents! The teachers are always available to talk to my husband or myself every morning and twice a year we actually have parent/teacher conferences. Both of my children have learned so much in the 3 years we have been at Foundations and are healthy, happy and thriving. As a parent I couldn't ask for anything more in a school.

Keep in mind Foundations offers a free shirt for any parents who write a review on Kudzu (this one will not qualify)so don't think the reviews on here are objective.

One of the biggest disappointments for us has been the high amount of teacher turnover. We were told that the teachers often stay with the children as they change classrooms. Unfortunately, the teachers can't even seem to stay the whole year. We're constantly reminded that the high fees (~250/wk) are to retain the best talent, yet they can't even keep the same teachers.

The quality and experience level of the teachers is variable. There's a mixture of college students full-time teachers. Unfortunately, we just haven't seen a teacher that seems really passionate about what they're doing and that's a shame.

Overall they do a good job selling the sizzle without the steak. For example, they boast about the home cooked meals, but in October one weekly lunch menu (Monday-Friday) was: Homemade Mac & Cheese, 3-Cheese Tortilini, Cheeseburgers, Flatbread Cheese Pizza, Scallop Potatoes w/Ham. Seriously - is that much cheese necessary??

I listed some of the negatives because they are underpresented on Kudzu and it's important to see the whole picture. I will say the facilities are nice, and our daughter seems to like it. However, the costs and the overall quality don't line up. We're new to the area, so we can't go to our old daycare, but I do believe there are better choices.
