My child has been attending Aya for the past 2 years, since they moved to their new location in…read moreColumbia. The school itself seems to be well kept, and they also seem to keep in line with the Montessori method of teaching (as far as I can tell, since the pandemic, parents are not allowed in the school, so everything I know is from my child). My one complaint is lack of communication. The school uses mainly the app Brightwheel to communicate with parents. They very rarely send photos of the kids, and never tell you if your child has gotten an injury while in their care. My child had 2 nosebleeds at the school that I had to find out from them (never mentioned by the school at all). Their was blood on their shirt, which they had to change out of during school hours, so the teachers must have known. In addition, when you reach out to the school with questions through Brightwheel, you rarely get a response back. Maybe about 50% of the time. You can also send an email to the admins, but they can take a few days to respond back to you. There is a phone number to call, but in my experience, no one answers it. My child has liked attending Aya, I just wish they would improve their communication with parents.

There is very little to no learning taking place in the classroom. The administration and the teachers are not certified or qualified in the areas that they are in charge of which results in the low achievement and low test scores. Even more, students are being bullied on an everyday occurrence and nothing is being done to correct this action. I would send my child or children anywhere but this school.

They always have dishes in the sink, the floors are caked with food and dirt, the room always smells horrible, and they have very little toys out for the children. The manager seems untrained, she pretends to be unaware of situations that involve the safety and care of my child. Stated "I'm not in the room" but I've seen her in the classroom working on multiple occasions! Not only is the care expensive, the place is not the quality you expect to pay for. I'm extremely unhappy with this experience, but it's the only place I can get my child into right now. I suppose that's for a reason. Send your children elsewhere, somewhere they will be safe, loved, and truly cared for. This daycare does not provide those things. They need better management, better employees, and someone to deep clean!
