The Met Church — Attraction in Fort Worth

This review is for the New Creation PRESCHOOL at The Met

I highly do NOT recommend this place. Speaking from my experience with the YellowA classroom (for 2 year olds) -

CLASSROOM - all the teachers have massive attitudes. Don't even smile or laugh. Have zero personality and aren't even mature enough to introduce themself if you are a new parent bringing your child in for the first time. They make zero effort to make a connection with your child or the parent! They don't bother to give an update on your child's day, you have to ask specific questions to get an answer, and they come off like they're annoyed. They give you a folder that is supposed to provide updates from the day, by the 2nd day we attended the teacher didn't do anything in it. She shoved my child's papers right into her bag and not folder and none were about her day. From the looks of it, she hadn't eaten or drank any water all day. Both days my child went she came home with snot and food all over her face, since the teachers couldn't take a wipe and wipe her face for her. The entire vibe of the room is cold. The reason we tried here was because the tour and who gave it to us was very kind, but I should have known better when we looked into room and the teacher didn't even make eye contact.

SECURITY - when you drop your child off you login at a kiosk and receive 2 stickers. One goes on your child's back and the other the person who plans to pick them up brings it. Which is weird when you fill paperwork out that should have specific people you allow to pick your child up/provide DL #s. They say you should show sticker at classroom to get child. To make myself clear, ANYONE CAN WALK INTO THE SCHOOL IN THE AFTERNOON, ANYONE! They do not check anything at the door. You can walk right in and act like you're picking up a child and go back to the classrooms. Both days I went to pick my child up, neither time was my sticker checked. This is horrible security.

OFFICE STAFF - I decided this was not the best place for my child and emailed the Executive Director woman who insisted my child was enjoying her time here. I even told her she could call and I would explain my concerns about the program, she didn't care. The only thing they wanted was my money. Had ZERO desire to hear why we left and possibly to improve the program. This should speak a lot for what kind of place this is.

In SUMMARY, I have decided to come to Google to warn anyone who may think about sending your child here. I would 1) meet all teachers your child will be with before agreeing to go here 2) be very cautious about the pickup/dropoff, as it is very lax and 3) if you have any concerns, don't be surprised if they don't care...

It is a great place to worship! My wife and I joined late in the summer of 2012. The journey that we have been on has been remarkable from the very start. This has been from attendance at connection classes to Bible studies to worship services as well as other opportunities that have been presented to us. The Met has always welcomed us with loving hearts and open arms since the first time we stepped through the doors at that place. They have loved on us, prayed for us, worshiped with us, encouraged us, and participated with us during different events throughout the year. The Bible is explained and talked about in a way that makes it easy to understand. The connection classes are great opportunities to let people know that the Met is about people to connect to God and to one another. The Bible studies have been great to help me remember verses from the Bible as well as accountability among other things that I can share with the group. It is a safe place. I am thankful for everyone including the fellow volunteers and the staff at the Met for their diligent, hard work and involvement every week. I have learned so much as result of all of this. If you are looking for a church home, I encourage you to look into what is going...

Where to begin? I had high hopes for The Met but was quickly disappointed. My wife and I knew no one there so a little friendliness might've gone a long way. There was no greeter at the doors we were entering, just a single greeter at the doors next to us with that greeter engaged in a conversation with someone. We got a, "I see you there" finger wave from the greeter but that was all.

Upon entering the auditorium, an usher quickly made her way to my wife and informed her that she cannot bring in her bottle of water and offered to hold it somewhere else for her. No thank you.

The worship started with a BANG. Good grief the worship band was loud, scared us when the first note caught us by surprise. I'm no music prude, I've been a rock musician for almost 30 years and it was still really loud. The worship is very showy with light show, etc. If I wanted that, I would attend a Christian concert. I'm not opposed to lights and all but IMO that should be for special events.

Couldn't wait to get out of there and never going back. There are plenty of churches in the area, I would not...
