"Caledonia location is great. Great staff. They work too many long hours and not enough breaks due to staffing shortages. Since the company was bought out, we can’t seem to keep a director and additional staff are leaving. This causes concerns at what is happening, or not happening, at the corporate level. Sad to see good teachers leave due to the politics and poor leadership at the top level."
"Love the classroom lead teachers but always sad to see them go. Turnover in director happens often which leads to lead teachers leaving."
"When emailing the school you either never get a response or it takes weeks. It would be nice to get a resolution or acknowledgment."
"Hate the last 2 emails asking for cash donations, that is unbelievable. Pay your staff better, don’t ever beg me for money again it’s pathetic. Please Raise prices if you are in need. $5 a week would cover an annual donation. It looks awful from a business I trust."
"I've been disappointed with the staff. Since our daughter started attending at age 5 months, the teachers she once had are no longer with the company. The school seems to struggle to keep quality teachers. We currently have Britney who has been a teacher with the school for years and this is our second time having her as a teacher. We really enjoy her and the work she does with our daughter/kids. We are also sad to see how upper management is treated. We have a family member that has been a long-time employee of Appletree/Gildenwoods and has been treated like a pawn during the whole company change. The key to a quality company is how they treat employees and from what we have seen Appletree/Gildenwoods has done a poor job."
