Worked at foresight for 3 years now the center is structured and routined . The center support families in many venues . They offer 1 week paid vacation and just started offering health and life insurance . The cleaning is a must dealing with small vulnerable children. Great ambiance , they have staff parking and perks .

I believe the statements made here is true. I worked at foresight for six days, had a co-worker tell me how messy the women was at the daycare. The statement one of the ladies posted here about cleaning the bathroom is accurate. You have to do a deep clean in the classroom you work in as well. They will put an unqualified person in a classroom to work with children at foresight. They tell you that you need credits, a college degree or CDA but have people that work there in a classroom of 15 or more children by themselves. I wanted to be an assistant teacher but they put me in a classroom by myself and made me a lead, sometimes i had 8-10 children at time. When i got tired of the harassment from another teacher whom is the boss right hand I walked out. Again, I worked 6 days but only was paid for 3 days. This place is garbage. Do not apply for this job, hell i wouldnt never send my kids there. The place need to be closed down. If she say Im lying I have the proof and will upload it.

Foresight is given one star by me yes and that is ONLY because of the children over the course of my slavery days at foresight, the children grow on you and you love them and tend to be fond of them. But that’s it that’s all. I came to foresight about three years to three and a half years ago and was amazed with the design of the place and by the “when I come up you come and they talked about Jesus” speeches given at every meeting. But after a while they became overwhelmingly unpleasant. Being fired(yes I put it out there because after reading this she will make it known) and ASKED to return so I did because I loved the children, over a period of time I’ve learned that absolutely nothing has changed about foresight. The children are still not learning, if you like a daycare where your child is being watched and not taught then omit what I am saying.....The children will never learn if you have a director or owner whichever is to be named, that moves kids from each classroom throughout the site. As well as new teachers every other week. How is there room for the children to be molded properly for grade school.As a staff member you are being video(which is common sense and fine) and audio taped as well. Yes the director will tell you she is audiotaping for the safety of the children but will definitely recite a conversation that doesn’t pertain to work to other staff members regardless if it was in a classroom or in break room. The owner is still unworthy of being called a owner. She doesn’t like steady rules, they change every week and will hire you for one job by the next week you will be doing another job. Anyone that is looking for a job can get hired..she hires people on the spot. And if she feels threaten by your will to stand up and knowing right from wrong she will find a way to get rid of you. Some of her staff or managerial team are not people persons and doesn’t know to speak properly to staff or parents. I don’t understand how a boss has to apologize for her team and their behavior knowing this and say “oh that’s just how she is” and not address them properly. Foresight is a rule breaker. No matter how much of a pretty scene it is this is all a cover up for the major mess ups. From the front desk work down to kids. Example, some kids are affected and capable of affecting other kids. Their method of handling the problem is to cover it up with a bandage and speak with parents upon pick up. When parents are to be called and child must be picked up immediately. Parents are told that children will go on field trips during summer but they don’t, kids are instead called ghetto and bad. This is why during school year if a trip is to come about parents are asked to go along with your child or student will not be in attendance. Foresight plays unfair, some staff is asked to clock in and out to use the restroom while others can come and go as they please. Some parents has to follow rules some parents don’t. Some good reviews are real some are not. Example T animal is the one and only Mrs. Christopher herself. The other two are on her team so of course good things were to be said. All and all foresight not a good place for children nor a good place for a person looking for a career. You will be sadly tossed around until you stand up for yourself. I would NEVER recommend this place for anyone EVER.

If youre looking for a clean, paperwork focused daycare this is the place for you. But if you want your kids to learn and be the focus please keep going. I quit a job to work here cause it was so appealing by looks, just to get here and see that the kids do not have the right guidance and support. I have been in childcare for over 6years working with infants-2 yr old, mostly with 2yr olders. When I came here the teacher that trained me was unqualified for the 2yr old classroom. Mrs Christopher, the director, acted as though these kids were well groomed and ready to learn when really they were like newborns just starting school, probably because they havent had a steady teacher or class room so she wouldnt know what they could do. Mrs Christopher criticized my teaching abilities because she provided minimal training and gave me a class full of kids by myself while still learning all these tedious cleaning and paperwork methods that had to be done. She is very unprofessional and rude and it shows in her employees. They are unqualified, even though you see lesson plans and are given forms like their doing their job its all a show those kids are not learning because the focus is to stay on schedule with paperwork and cleaning not on the well being of the kids. I went to help in the Kg class and those kids had difficulties with colors and identifying numbers. I would think a 4 or 5 year old can identify the number 5. She asked me to step in her office while I was passing it and I was in front of her. So I stepped in, she told me how dare I go in her office first, but I was only doing what she asked. She said I smile to much and shes my boss so take her serious but I never laughed and joked with Mrs.Christopher. I was confused because I work with kids all day and I thought I was post to stay in good spirits. During my interview we discussed me not working in the infant room, a week after starting I was put in the infant room because I refused to put 2yr olders on a changing table when they should be getting potty trained and not being set back. After being there for 3 weeks I quit because no amount of money is worth going home in tears, being harrased and disrespected. I wish I would have saw some of these reviews before I left my first job.

Foresight is a joke their choice of criticism is to be rude and down talk their employees the boss ms Christopher acts as if she is better then those beneath here instead of treating employees as equals she has her selective few this day care is a scam they play with people money Ive constantly heard sad sad stories about foresight they don’t want you to interact with the parents pertaining the safety or progress of their child i would want to know anything thats happening with my child smh i would never ever recommend anybody to this day care do not register your kids here any good reviews is probably coming from within or from family because theres no way possible anything good comes from this place she doesn’t respond to emails at all her communication level is of a 2 year olds smh

After reading the reviews about Foresight children learning centers I see some things NEVER change. My nieces and nephews attended this school. The school is clean but Mrs Christopher hires unprofessional not qualified teacher. Mrs. Christopher (the owner) is a liar!!!! she tells other people business that is why she is always about to get beat up by parents because she talks too much. Then her upper right hand Mrs Robinson do not know how to speak to people. I have witness her speaking to parents any type of way and staff. Back in 2016 they had a halloween party where they asked all parents to donate candy. Why my niece/nephew come home with a mini zip lock bag but I saw Mrs Christopher loading boxes of candy, chips in her white truck. (Yes we donate candy for her kids at home )Its something wrong when you have a high turn over rate, its something she is not doing correctly or that right hand person she calls mrs robinson during incorrectly.

I have been working at fclc for 2.5 years and it is a pleasure working here. I have been in the early childhood field for 9 years, and out of the 3 centers I been with I have learned a lot from fclc. Mr. and Mrs. Christopher are wonderful bosses and very helpful and supportive to the children, parents, and the staff. If your passion is working with children you will definitely learn a lot and grow from this center, every staff member here is qualified and willing to help their colleagues grow. The teachers here at fclc main focus is educating the children and that is definitely a plus

My child attended this school for 2 years... preK the first and I was told by Mrs Christopher the school was approved for kindergarten. I kept my daughter at that school and now that she’s supposed to be going to first grade...no one can provide me with anything for her to continue on. Now bc of the unprofessional director my child will be 2 years behind in school bc of her bday and bc I was completely lied too! They don’t teach the children any skills and they’re not learning! My daughter has been felt up by another student and she said all the teachers in her class were on break when it happened!! I immediately removed her from there. Ms White, Ms Perkins, and Ms Robinson were always professional and take good care of the kids I suggest they work in a better environment. I recommend this place if u don’t want your child to advance in learning

Not a good place for your children and not a good place to work. The teachers only get paid 10.00 an hour for doing to much and they have to clean bathrooms and wash dishes as well as work in the classroom. Update the owner and directors are liars please read the bad reviews because they are true, most of the teachers that work there now are rude because the good ones leave. The under paid teachers are unprofessional.
