I never planned on writing this review, but after continuing to receive emails asking about my…read moreexperience, I felt like maybe it was time to speak up. In October of last year, my son was enrolled at Starfish Scholars. I chose this school after having a very negative experience at a previous daycare where I felt the teachers simply did not care. At that point, I made the decision that sometimes you truly get what you pay for. Even though this school was a little outside of my budget, the moment I walked in, I felt peace. I genuinely believed my son would be safe, cared for, and protected there. One thing that made me feel even more comfortable was the fact that they offered cameras for parents. Ironically, I never even logged into them because I trusted the environment so much. Every single day after pickup, I would ask my son how his day was, and during the first couple of weeks he seemed happy and excited to be there. Then things started to change. Around the second week, he began telling me he missed his old teacher. I didn't think too much of it at first because he also spoke positively about Ms. (JASMINE/YASMINE), saying she was nice to him and gave him snacks, which made him happy. One day, while talking to him about behavior at school and asking if he had been a good boy, we started discussing the cameras. That's when he told me something that completely stopped me in my tracks. He said, "The cameras only work for the kids, not the teachers." I asked him what he meant by that, and he began explaining that during nap time, his teacher had been touching him. As any parent would, I immediately contacted the police and filed a report. From my perspective, however, it felt like very little was actually done besides questioning the teacher. Life moved on for everyone else, except for my son. Since then, anytime teachers are brought up, he gets a fearful look on his face. What hurts even more is that my own sister is a teacher, and he now seems afraid around her too. It genuinely feels like he believes all teachers are unsafe. He no longer wants to go to school, and honestly, I don't blame him. When I informed the administration that I would be withdrawing him and explained why, the response felt cold, dismissive, and completely lacking empathy. As a parent, that was heartbreaking. I cannot recommend this school to any parent who simply wants to know their child is safe, protected, and genuinely cared for.

Jennifer has been so great since the moment we contacted this place to make a tour. She has such strong communication and answers all my questions as a first time mom enrolling my 4.5 month old into this daycare. We feel comfortable with the staff, the kids all seem very happy to be there, security & safety seem great which was a relief. The prices were very reasonable and includes more than I could have expected. Will come back to update my review once our baby starts her first few months. So excited and nervous all at the same time.

Initially, he was quite scared to go, as it was his first real time away from us (his parents). However, after his first class, he said, 'Only 2 times a week? I want to go 10 times!' Ms. Bethany and Ms. Jasmine are great with the kids, really helping them engage in learning through fun activities. I truly appreciate this approach to instilling the joy of learning early, which they can carry with them throughout life to develop other skill sets. They update us after each session with pictures through their app, showing individual kids' progress, and it's nice to see how he's doing and what they are learning. I also appreciate the class sizes (6 kids per class) because they allow for more individual focus on the children and the group. Additionally, the school is on her private property, in the garage and backyard, which adds a sense of safety, especially with everything going on today... If you're on the fence, I would definitely recommend it!

She's been attending for over a year now, and every day reaffirms that we made the BEST choice. From day one, the staff has been nothing short of incredible--so warm, welcoming, and truly invested in every child. I toured so many schools, but the moment I met Mrs. Jackie, I knew this was the place. She went above and beyond--giving me two full tours, answering all my (many!) questions as a nervous first-time mom, and making me feel completely at ease. And it doesn't stop there! Mrs. Jamie and Mrs. Stephanie are absolute gems--kind, attentive, and so passionate about what they do. This isn't just daycare--it's a pre-K powerhouse! The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to prepare kids for the next step, focusing on numbers, letters, writing, and more. My daughter has learned SO much and comes home excited to share it every day. The environment is spotless, safe, and full of love. The classrooms are bright, beautifully decorated, and filled with incredible learning tools that keep the kids engaged and inspired. I recommend Hand in Hand to everyone I know--it's truly a hidden gem. So thankful we found this place!

We've been sending our 3-year-old daughter to The Learning Experience on Fort Apache for a few…read moremonths now, and we are having a wonderful experience. The school has a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and the staff is consistently professional, reliable, and genuinely caring. Most importantly, our daughter truly loves going to school every day. She's learning so much while having fun, and seeing her excited to go each morning gives us a lot of confidence in the quality of care and education she's receiving. That alone makes this an easy 5-star experience. Tuition is slightly higher than some of the other options we considered, but we don't mind paying a premium for higher quality. They also offer an outstanding veterans benefit: 10% off tuition, plus complimentary early drop-off and late pickup between 6:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. That flexibility is incredibly valuable for working parents and adds even more value. We're very happy with our decision and would highly recommend The Learning Experience on Fort Apache to any family looking for a caring, high-quality preschool.

Pulled my son out of this preschool and I would NOT recommend it…read more First off, the attitude from the front desk and director changed immediately after I enrolled. It felt unwelcoming and unprofessional from the start, but I tried to give it a chance. What I can't ignore is how they handled incidents with my child. I was asked to sign an incident report about my son hitting his lip a WEEK after it supposedly happened. Then this past Monday, another child BIT my son hard enough to leave a mark on his shoulder--and I wasn't told until Wednesday. No call the day it happened, no heads up--just delayed paperwork like it's no big deal. That is NOT okay. If something happens to my child, I expect to be told immediately. The fact that they didn't communicate that in real time is a huge red flag. Then they want to be strict about their policies when it benefits them. They called me to pick my son up at 9:30am saying he threw up, but gave me ZERO clear instructions about a 24-hour policy. The very next morning (Friday), I bring him in completely fine, he had absolutely no symptoms and had not thrown up at all since I picked him up the previous morning, and suddenly I'm being turned away at the door with attitude about "24 hours symptom free." Don't pick and choose when to follow policy. On top of that, my son has barely even been able to attend because he's been sick constantly since starting--including the flu and hand, foot, and mouth--and they still expect full payment AND a two-week notice after everything that's happened. Absolutely not. The lack of communication, delayed incident reporting, and rude front office staff made this an easy decision for me. Do better. Side note: the actual teachers in the classrooms have been great. This review is strictly about management and front desk staff, because that's where the issues are.
