As a parent, it has been so comforting to send my little one into an environment where he is not just safe, he is not just educated, he is *treasured*.

My daughter attended Jack and Jill preschool for 2 years and I couldn't be happier with our…read moredecision to send her there. She participated in both the 2 day program and the 5 day program. In the 5 day program, the teacher, Cissy, did a fabulous job with her curriculum and making sure she was in line with what was necessary for kindergarten. The teachers and director were always welcoming to the parents and invited them into the classroom at any time. My daughter wasn't only academically ready for kindergarten, she was socially ready as well. She learned how to work with peers to solve a problem and the importance of taking turns and waiting. She enjoyed going to school each day. Cissy used creative ways of teaching to keep the attention of the class. She used a variety of hands on materials to demonstrate her lessons. I knew that my child was in great hands while at school. The class size was small which allowed the teacher to give individual attention to address each student and to assist students when they needed a little extra help. Cissy also encouraged the students to bring in items from home that went along with the lessons. She always showed a lot of enthusiasm when children brought something in. She made each child feel important and valued everything the children had to say. My daughter was more than ready for kindergarten after her 2 years of preschool at Jack and Jill. I would highly recommend this preschool to other parents. I can't imagine sending my daughter to any other preschool. Sending my daughter to Jack and Jill gave us a very positive first experience in sending her to school.

The Phoenix School was life-changing for my son. He had really struggled at his old school, and had…read morebegun to internalize negative messages about himself. But once he started at the Phoenix School, things turned around. He came home after the first day and said, "It's like the teachers aren't even teachers--they're just people!" The caring relationship with his teachers, the community at the school, the way his teachers push him to do more than he thought he could and support him as he learns to push himself has been amazing. He loves school now and is thriving academically, socially, and emotionally. The way they integrate learning across all their activities is special. Students learn all the academic skills throughout all their activities, along with specialized practice in, say, math or writing, especially as they get older. They also use the community at large as their classroom with frequent out-of-the-classroom learning experiences that engage students far more than anything I've seen at any other school. Teachers support students as they produce high-quality work, with autonomy and ownership over their own learning. Teachers are among the most dedicated professional educators I've ever met. They work hard to create a community of students, faculty, staff, parents, and community members dedicated to the well-being and education of students as complete people. It's not possible for me to say enough good things about this school.

Special thanks to the children who joined us in the first show to play tambourines, maracas, and drumsticks. In the second show for older children, others volunteered to demonstrate their new ventriloquial skills after choosing a puppet of their choice from the big drum case. Volunteers were encouraged to say their first name into the microphone and try moving the puppet's mouth three times as they said "One, Two, Three" with their new puppet voice. Special thanks to Mr. Jarod, the teacher who volunteered to be our HUMAN DUMMY! He wore our ventriloquist face mask, played the "ringy, dingy, thingy" and "sang" our "No Bully Zone" original song with Chelsea The Chimpanzee. (No, they did not sing at the same time... we're not that good!)

They do "homework" in daycare to ensure they are advancing academically for their age. If there is a concern, such as speech, Lisa will have a discussion to allow you to take the next step.

I would highly recommend this facility.

His teachers were wonderful, always attentive, positive and kind, and we're so grateful for his time with Ms Doris, Ms Tia and Ms Miralba. He learned so much in his time here and always enjoyed attending. We needed to make a switch due to some life circumstances, but it was difficult to make that choice because our time here was positive. Nicole is a great communicator, always very responsive and helpful. When our son's transitioned to the next class up, preschool age, he struggled a bit with the change and Nicole helped facilitate a meeting to help ease our minds. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to choose a daycare as a working parent, so hoping this reviews eases the feelings of uncertainty while navigating your childcare search. We recommend MKU to others and think it's been a safe environment where our son has thrived. We've also met many great families along the way, there is a great community there. Thank you to everyone at MKU!

Poor management, Low pay, and Mean girls watching you from the classroom camera 24/7. Can you…read moreimagine working in an environment filled with women who love to gossip about everything? If so, go ahead. The director, Nicole Camarda, I don't even wanna talk about her. She's so mean, fake, and shows no care to the staff. Shaking her little butt and telling people what to do, but at least she does some work, unlike the reception fat girl who just sits there all day, does nothing but snacking (I guess that's why you are fat though), as if the world owns her money. They are always short-staffed, so it doesn't matter if you have a college degree or higher degree- you will get hired no matter what and get the LOWEST PAY as someone who never even finished high school. They won't read your resume because they will literally hire anyone who applied for. Also, the teachers- OMG, ridiculous, rude, unkind, mean. STAY AWAY FROM these classrooms led by (I know both their first and last names, but only first names this time) Angelina, Daniela, Miriam (Infant room), Valentina (Casa room). This is a very ridiculous place to work- I'm telling you. The turnover rate is EXTREMELY high. JUST RUN & STAY AWAY.
