Athens Church of Christ

It you're here for Sunday service, you probably found a decent spot. HOWEVER, if you are searching for a day care, keep looking because your child deserves better, I personally know of three people who have had terrible experiences here with each experience following the same disturbing pattern of neglect. Both neglect towards children and neglect from supervising staff who find Facebook news feeds more interesting than employee concerns involving suspected mistreatment of children. So, having said that, if you still choose to bring your child here, and they come home with bite marks or other mysterious injuries, it would be wise for you to address the board of directors immediately since nothing ever seems to be resolved at the immediate supervisor level. Please note that this is merely my experience and the experiences that others have shared with me.

Completely disorganized, extremely disrespectful and rude toward their own staff.

Disorganized, unprofessional, low expectations for employees and learning, disrespectful and unappreciative of staff. Kids put last. Please stay away...

My first experience with this company was as an employee of their preschool. I will say their professionalism was superb, their rapport with the children and parents amazing, and their commitments to quality education at all years was visible the entire time I worked there. I have been a jaded ex- employee for almost all of my previous jobs, but I left them on wonderful terms, and have nothing negative to say in that experience.nnNext, I experienced this church partaking in their community meals. If you don't know, every week on Tuesdays they offer a free dinner to anyone who wants, no questions beyond simple kindnesses such as introductions. The smiles are real, the food is delicious, and people are treated like extended family coming to visit; they may not know you well but they immediately care because you're there. I found out later they have been doing services to the community like this for years.nnFinally, I went to a service. This...is the only reason I couldn't give 5 stars.nnThe people were so friendly! Everyone knew one another by first name. So many introductions. Real well taught message that wasn't hellfire and condemnation or such.nnSo why not 5 stars?nnThe music. Ugg.....uggh...nHymns from the 1800s and an organ.nI. Kid. You. Not.nIn a college town.nnI'm closer to 40 than 30 and it was around then I noticed I was just about the youngest person there, and I realized why.nnAnyway that one exceptionally painfully long problem it was a wonderful experience and I still think they're great!

Love it
