After reading the two one star reviews, I have to say I would believe neither of them. The person that said the school representative said that they use nuts all the time must be nutty herself. There are plenty of children that attend the school with special dietary needs or regimens that their parents want them to follow (vegetarian, etc.). Evergreen accommodates as best they can with the meals that they provide, and meals are posted so that parents can send different lunches on days the school is making something they don't want their child to have. Knowing the staff like I do, there is no way a certified letter was sent to them and ignored. I'd love to see the tracking number and the proof of delivery - I'm quite sure this is a lie.
The other negative review, indicates that it is a glorified day care center. While I agree that it can seem chaotic, I can assure you that based on what I see my daughters doing, they are learning. It impresses me daily, seeing what my children are doing on their own.
For my own positive review...
They have moved into a new location:
751 N Trezevant St
Memphis, TN 38112
This is the Community of Faith Christian Church. Evergreen is using the first and third floors of their education building in the back, and have done amazing work fixing it up. The staff there genuinely loves their jobs and the children, and put the children first in what they do (as they should). The space that they now have is far more conducive to education than their old building, and is nearly twice the size. They've added new materials and furniture to fill the space and will not appear nearly as chaotic as the old location.
I highly recommend stopping by and seeing for yourself. I think that you'll be pleasantly surprised. You won't find a more loving and intelligent staff at twice the price (which is at least what you'll pay at Lamplighter or Lausanne).
Pros: Great new location, great staff, excellent materials, great price!
Cons: None that I know of...
