My 4-year-old son attended preschool at the Balmoral location with Mrs. Hinckley and Mrs. Arnold…read more At first I had him in the preschool because I worked in the area and had my sister take him. After I finished my job, I decided to stay with Knowledge Explorers and commute from Herriman because I was so impressed with the school. They are organized, have great classroom management, work individually with my son and mark his progress, and they have one of the smallest student-to-teacher ratios I have seen for the price. My son left preschool happy every day and started his path with a positive attitude towards learning.

In my opinion Avondale Academy does not offer competitive pay rates. Teachers are significantly…read moreunderpaid. They save money by offering incentives which sacrifices a portion of pay. Management is only invested in protecting their circle. The circle consists of the founding women and unassertive employees who have been there longer than five years. They lead covertly and have a "no gossip policy" teachers are forced to sign, but don't follow themselves. Decisions on my behalf were made by people who never saw me teach. Losing multiple teachers every year is the norm. They cycle through teachers like nobody's business. They sweet talk the new hires and tell them they're really good, when they're struggling and have limited training. I was only paired with young, inexperienced teachers and encouraged to support/guide them without extra compensation. I was told the exact same worded praise as another teacher with zero experience. Teachers were encouraged to share their teaching skills/strategies without compensation. The young new hires were commonly highlighted in newsletters and social media. They play favorites. Incorrect information and poor management communication are commonplace. Every teacher I worked alongside quit. I saw at least nine teachers quit. By burning out and dumping the new hires they can hire new teachers each year at a lower pay rate, protecting their circle, and saving money. There are reasons this preschool has become a multimillion dollar company so quickly. And they're not good. Avondale is good at making money. They use teachers and crush dreams. They crushed mine.

And it was all fun for him. We never went to Summer school there so from the experience I had, my son was totally able to catch up without the Summer program. Maybe I started him early...... anyways I don't regret my decision and he misses his first school! Now he's enrolled in public school (which honestly is not great since he's learning things that he has learned two years ago) but he's learning Portuguese for free (my native language) and for my family this is our priority. We love Challenger School

Preschool staff are supposed to be trained in being a primary reporter for children's well being, it was shocking that they would so casually make an accusation of this nature and raised enormous red flags as to the type of employee culture of this preschool.
