If you need a setting with actually low ratios, focus on skills deficits, and therapeutic supports,…read morethis is NOT it. Most of their problems are rooted in administration, which tries to teach students at the same time and expend minimal effort. Basic best practices were refused i.e. Assignment Books and parents were treated with hostility when requesting basic 504 / IEP supports such as Signing Assignment Books. There was next to no cooperation when attempting to coordinate with external support / medical services. They had minimal Google Classrooms proficiency so my child lost significant, uncompensated instruction time. Staff could not be reached much of the time. I could continue, but this is a pretty clear image of the school: a special education school without any special education.

I had to wait my little trial before I gave this review. It has been 2 months since my daughters…read morehave started here! 1. I'm a 23 year old single, working mom of two under two, so I can definitely get irritable with new people and I am very particular about my children. I ALMOST did not continue care because of a tad bit of miscommunication but I thank God himself that one of the teachers chased me out to explain everything to me. The directors were very accountable and were/are very understanding when it came to my reaction. 2. My eldest daughter went through a rough transition into daycare. (We literally have been inseparable since the day I met her) We have been to 5 different daycares solely because she was not adjusting to not being at home with me. The first two weeks were very hard; from the tantrums every morning. Ms. Rosa and Ms. Marcella were so patient with her and ME! My baby runs into the building to anyone who opens that door. 3. I am not used to packing lunches and I would feel bad about whether I was doing it right. Ms. Erica and Ms. Ichi gave me so much advice and reassurance about packing lunch with a picky eater. They helped me through my daughter's lactose intolerant issues and were very understanding and reassuring about babies eating habits. Now my kids are well on schedule and I don't have that mommy insecurity anymore. 4. SUPER SHOUTOUT TO MS.ALMAYA She is nurturing, sweet, caring, gentle, grace-handling teacher I've ever met. This is the first person I have ever seen my oldest run to, to be consoled. MY daughter will NOT let anyone do her hair. But don't let Ms. Almaya be in that room, these babies be sitting down perfectly for her. She has a soft spot for every single one of these children and you can feel her glow as soon as she spots one of her students. Evangel Christian Child Care Center did their big one hiring her. You can tell she loves being there! 5. My preemie daughter who was supposed to go into an under developed program is now on track with all her milestones, has successfully transitioned onto formula (with the patience of Ms. Marsella and Ms. Rosa) and Lord knows I struggled getting my exclusive breast fed baby on a bottle in general. My daughter is crawling and trying to stand up all within 2 weeks at 8 months and she wasn't even sitting up last month. I don't know where ECCCC are finding these teachers, but if they are coming out the same pot for the grade schools, this generation of babies, toddlers, and children are going to be extraordinary. 6. Don't get me started about these children... the manners these toddler boys are learning first of all... everyday I come in its always a child waiting for all the 5:45pm moms to arrive to hold the door open for us. While mom/dad is saying "okay this is the last person, no more holding the door." The friendships and bonds these children are making.. I can not even express the pain in my cheeks after Ms.Wendy asked me if my eldest was a good big sister because she caters to the other children and then not even a minute later, I am watching 6 children run out the room and yelling my daughter's name in baby jibber. I see children walking into the school and introducing my child by name to their parents. I got into my car and almost cried because of the struggle I had finding a perfect daycare and the fear that my child would struggle with being social.. just to see that my children are radiating happiness whenever I say lets go to school, when they get to school, and when they see their teachers. The struggle I have getting my toddler out the building is absolutely insane. 7. You know you have a good daycare when you have a lobby full of parents joking and laughing after working. I would've never thought babies and children would recognize me as I'm coming to pick mine up.. never in a million years. Seeing under 1s recognize other parents of under 1s is so telling. The Apugos are so amazing, I count the hours down because I am always excited to see the staff and families. They have truly impacted me and my motherhood journey.

Explained my child had special needs and would be more comfortable in his former preschool. A spot opened a week after I paid my deposit to hold his space which was over a month before camp was set to begin. These people cashed my check within two days after received and said they would not return my deposit. I think the director should have made an exception but would not. Apparently they must have a cash flow issue if they felt they needed to keep my deposit. For that the business won't be blessed or full. My child is happy and having fun at his former preschool. 260 a week for summer camp is a rip off.

I called on 2/17 and they charged my card 83$ which is the 80$ lesson plus a transaction fee. I told them I only had a few days before my test so I wanted a lesson before hand. The front desk lady and the driver said they called six times each. However, they did not leave one voice message after 12 calls. I live near a forest on a corner street. Sometimes my signal is bad. I think as a professional driving school that I already paid for, the least they could've done is left a message so I could be able to return it. I don't have 12 missed calls in my phone log. I asked for a refund and they are asking for my card information again. I don't know where it is. Now I have to call my bank to dispute the transaction because I was charged for services I did not receive. The driver called me after I talked to the front desk lady and he was pretty nice but it still does not excuse the level of unprofessionalism I experienced here.
